Our mountain golf course home has amenities for a retreat to remember, whether it is a family getaway, golf vacation or a place for friends to gather in the mountains near Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) in Estes Park, Colorado.

We named our home Elkpond Retreat after enjoying the multitude of elk meandering on the 5th fairway and beyond, and frolicking in the pond in full view of our deck! Our favorite way to spend time is to relax on the deck in comfortable furniture at the fire table to enjoy the golf course and mountain views after a great hike, snow shoe or x-c ski expedition . Sipping wine, reading, painting and simply enjoying this quiet, peaceful place will come easy.

The great room is Grand with a gas fireplace of floor to ceiling dry stack stone. Wood beams, many windows with views and a lofty vault create an elegant Colorado mountain style home. We like to use all 8 places at our dining table with family and friends, and there’s always extra seating with the leather couch and two chairs for movie night. Enjoy our DVD collection of 50 plus movies as well as cable and high speed internet.

The vaulted and open kitchen has everything you will need to enjoy cooking like a chef with newer appliances throughout. Feel free to use the crock pot, blender, mixer, toaster oven, coffee maker, spices and all utensils to make Elkpond Retreat your home during your stay.

The Main Floor Master Bedroom offers privacy with vaulted ceiling and ceiling fan plus an ensuite spa-like bathroom complete with jetted tub, large stone tiled shower, granite and travertine tile finishes. Find a hair dryer, paper products plus soap, shampoo and conditioner to use during your stay.

Full size clothes washer and dryer are nicely located on the main level and a main floor powder room is an extra convenience. Laundry soap, dryer sheets, trash bags and dishwasher detergent is provided for your convenience.

There are Two Upper Level Queen Bedrooms with large closets and a dresser in each to unpack and move into. The upper level 3/4 bathroom has a stone tiled shower and contemporary features, again with granite and travertine finishes. Both upper queen bedrooms have exterior doors that open to the upper balcony.

The spacious upper loft has multiple windows with mountain views , a comfortable reading chair, writing desk plus a leather sofa. This loft space is its own peaceful retreat!

Wandering to town is easy – there is a walk/bike path within a few yards of the condo, plus a free shuttle that runs throughout the day with a silver path stop right at Community Drive. Town is 1.4 miles from Elkpond, a 5 minute drive or 20 to 30 minute walk.

If you golf, you can walk there as our property backs up to the 5th fairway and the clubhouse is within walking distance. Hangar Restaurant at the club house has spectacular views from their deck to the south with vistas across the golf course into Rocky Mountain National Park and Long’s Peak in all it’s glory!

We enjoy the short walk (30 min) to local restaurants, and our local breweries. And after a day of hiking, kayaking, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, shopping and dining...there is no place like Elkpond at which to re-live and share the memories...

Our 2-story townhome is in one-half of a duplex which backs up to the 5th fairway of the 18-hole golf course.

Beautiful golf course townhome
Elk Pond Retreat is a beautiful, clean, well appointed home. This was our second stay and hopefully it won’t be our last. The owners make sure their guests have everything they need and it is so comfortable and conveniently located. The patio overlooking the golf course and the mountains is an added bonus.

The best place to stay in Estes!
We love love love staying at this property! We come up every year for a horse show at the fairgrounds, and this is our favorite place to stay. It's absolutely darling, so clean, and has a beautiful view of the golf course where you can see elk playing in the sprinklers. It is well appointed, and being able to grill your dinner and enjoy the back deck is a great way to end your day.

Wonderful home!
Our family stayed in the house the week of the 4th of July. We love visiting Colorado, and this was our first time in Estes Park. The house was perfect for our stay. It was beautiful, well-equipped, and very relaxing. It offers a great view of a beautiful golf course and is close to everything - the downtown area, grocery store, community center, and walking paths are all close. We spent a few days hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park, which was spectacular, and this home was perfect to come back to - a fireplace, a clean, beautiful kitchen with everything you need to make a meal, and a nice outdoor patio. Jack and Karen are responsive and wonderful hosts. We would definitely recommend this home and rent it again. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Karen and Jack Meyer

Host profile image
We have made the short trip from Fort Collins regularly and in all seasons, to enjoy the splendor of Estes and RMNP. After being married here and returning with our children and now grandchildren, it is truly our home away from home! Jack grew up in Alaska and Karen in New England so we each value beautiful surroundings. Finding our mountain home is our gift to each other and we are happy to share our lovely retreat with you!

Why they chose this property

We were struck not only by the comfortable Colorado mountain style decor and amenable floor plan for family and guests, but mostly the tranquil setting that we discovered when visiting Elkpond. We first saw it early spring - snow covered the golf course, the cozy fire was glowing, and multitudes of elk were happily meandering on the course. Seeing elk frolic in the pond was entertaining and surprising from what we thought of as a docile giant! We invite you to enjoy it as we do!

What makes this property unique

Quiet relaxing setting yet close to town, restaurants, grocery, shopping
Walk/bike to town and restaurants on bike path close by.
Enjoy the public 18 hole golf course and clubhouse/restaurant/bar in our backyard.
RMNP Beaver Meadows entrance is only 6 miles away.
Private main floor master with 2 additional bedrooms upstairs.
Open floor plan for gathering and the perfect deck with fire table for planning a next adventure!
