About this property

Beautiful river home with large yard, sitting area and fire pit!

Welcome to our restful mountain retreat on the river (Estes Park Vacation Home Business License # 6040). Wade, sit on the rocks, or fish for wild trout in the Big Thompson River and feel your worries fade away. Eat lunch on one of the picnic tables as you admire the mountains, roast marshmallows in the fire pit, or simply relax on the large manicured lawn.

You can enjoy coffee or tea in the morning in the dining room as you watch the wildlife through 5 large windows. Or watch the wildlife from almost any of the other 30 windows in this cozy house - including the five windows surrounding the jetted tub in the master bath! End your day relaxing in one of the large recliners in the sunroom - listening to the river and the other sounds of nature. Views of the snow-capped mountains and the smell of the evergreen trees will stay with you long after you leave.

Our home is in a prime location. We are at the end of a quiet drive with a large private yard that runs down to the river. The entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park is only one mile away where you can enjoy the many trails, rivers, and wonderful sights the park has to offer. Shopping also is available less than one mile away with many quaint stores, restaurants, and peaceful walks along the river.

Perfect for comfort and location
This home is beautifully furnished, yet cozy and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and a pleasure to cook in. It’s a dream location on the river and near the park entrance. The owners, Gail and Jim, are kind and friendly, and promptly respond to any questions or concerns. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Better than the pictures
When we arrived we saw 15 Elk in the back yard wasn't ready for that, when we went inside we found the house to be better than advertised such a wonderful home, my 5 yr old grandson said he didn't want to go home he liked it so much. I'm sure we'll be back if he has anything to do with it.
