About this property
Drake Home on Big Thompson River - 3 Mi. to Estes!
Pack up your gear and take a trip to ‘Fisherman’s Dream,’ a 2-bedroom, 1-bath vacation rental house in Drake - a quaint mountain town with lots to offer! As a gateway for Rocky Mountain National Park, Drake provides a prime location for all of your Colorado adventures. Venture out for a day hike or tour the famous Stanley Hotel in Estes Park only 3 miles away. If fishing is more your style, cast a line right off the home’s waterfront balcony to fish in the Big Thompson River below!
-- THE PROPERTY --
Bedroom 1: Queen Bed | Bedroom 2: Queen Bed
Nestled on over 2 acres of land along the Big Thompson River, this semi-secluded home serves as your private mountain paradise. A profusion of pine trees mark the exterior, while the newly built interior is distinguished by reclaimed barn wood floors, rustic wood furnishings and Northwoods decor for a cozy, cabin-like touch.
Pull back the curtains in the living area to let the sunlight and tree-lined scenery inside as you settle down in front of the flat-screen Smart TV. Stream your new favorite show through the Roku streaming TV & media player while a hearty homemade breakfast is prepared in the adjacent kitchen.
Fully equipped with all of your essential cooking appliances and a chic, farm-style table, the kitchen has everything you need for an at-home meal.
Spend the afternoon fishing in Lake Estes, just 2 minutes down the road, or stay home to try your luck in the Big Thompson River. Fish right off the waterfront balcony or find a spot along your 500 feet of private riverfront to get a closer look at your potential catch!
Prepare your catch of the day on the gas grill or treat your group to dinner at the Waterfront Grille overlooking Lake Estes. No matter where you choose to dine, the rest of your evening will be well spent riverside.
Come nighttime, both bedrooms offer flat-screen Smart TVs so that everyone can enjoy a movie from the comfort of their queen-sized bed!
-- THE LOCATION --
‘Fisherman’s Dream’ lives up to its name as prime fishing spots abound on this 2+ acre lot and, if you need a change of scenery, Lake Estes is a quick 2-minute drive down the road.
Estes Park also serves as the base camp for Rocky Mountain National Park, where you’ll find miles of trails and abundant wildlife, but before you cruise up Trail Ridge Road, be sure to stop by the historic Stanley Hotel to experience it’s haunting history for yourself!
Spend an afternoon away from the crowds and explore the charming downtown area of Drake, home to bed and breakfasts, quaint boutiques and local eateries. Rock climbers will be pleased to find adventure in Big Thompson Canyon, while nature lovers search for bighorn sheep along the surrounding trails.
Take a break from all the action and adventure to dine at one of the many fine restaurants nearby. Visit Hunters Chop House for a casual steakhouse experience with lodge-style surroundings, Peppers Mexican Grill for all of your Mexican favorites or dine with a view at the Waterfront Grille on Lake Estes!
