About the host
Hosted by John and Susan Medina
We purchased this home in November 2015 and did a remodel to get into the short term rental market. We are Colorado natives and currently reside in Hygiene just down the hill from our Estes Park property. I've been going to Estes Park and RMNP for decades and never tire of it's beauty. You can explore endlessly and see new things every time.
Why they chose this property
I've always dreamed of owning a mountain property in beautiful Colorado. Estes Park is one of my most favorite mountain towns and it's so close to the urban corridor. Just a short drive to my home town of Boulder Colorado. It's also so close to my favorite mountain drive Trail Ridge road, which takes you to grand lake another stunning mountain town.
What makes this property unique
The Owls Nest has the best location in Estes Park. One can literally walk to dinner, festivals , and shopping. The views and wildlife are also amazing. After hiking one day I came home and had 8 deer inside my front picket fence. Just awesome. The elk meandering all through the neighborhood and Estes Park is also amazing. I never tire of watching them
