Inviting retreat near downtown w/ scenic deck, mountain views, & free WiFi

Registration #6046

Filled with mountain charm, this airy retreat will be the perfect place to call home on your next ski getaway or family vacation to Estes Park! Upon entering, each guest will be greeted by the wonderful tall ceilings, an inviting fireplace, and warm wood accents throughout. Start each day with a cup of coffee on the upper deck and look out to the mountain landscape and trees that are famous for this area. After a long day on the slopes, hop into the fully equipped kitchen and whip up a tasty meal for the whole family to enjoy. Come summer, the gas grill will be just the ticket for a fun cookout in the fresh air! Not to mention, the flatscreen TV and free WiFi will provide ample entertainment for everyone to enjoy as the stars come out! Plus, the lofted layout gives everyone a bit of privacy when needed with all of the communal living downstairs and bedrooms upstairs.

What's nearby:
Sitting in the heart of Estes Park, you will have no trouble filling your days with outdoor adventure! Regardless of the season, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Come summer, Estes Lake Marina is less than. a mile away for all of your boating, swimming, and fishing days. Golfing at Estes Park 18-Hole Golf Course and hiking along the various trails nearby are also perfect for soaking up the sun and breathing in some fresh air. When the weather cools a bit, cross-country skiing, downhill skiing, and taking a ride on the Estes Aerial Tramway are all great ways to spend your time.

Overall we were very pleased with our stay. The property manager communicated everything we needed to know via text, and was responsive when we had questions. The condo itself was well kept and in a beautiful location very close to downtown, and we had elk outside in our yard most mornings. We loved the big kitchen table and having a garage, as well as the heated floor in the main bathroom. We only had a few issues during our stay. The mattresses were extremely hard, like, slab of concrete hard, so be prepared for that. Living room furniture was worn and pretty uncomfortable. The fireplace was confusing (and a little scary) to try and operate. We also came across a few spiders in the downstairs bedroom. All that to say, we would definitely stay at the condo again. It had a welcoming, cozy atmosphere and suited our needs perfectly.

Amanda the local property manager was awesome! She came by to assist with the door locks that were not functioning. It was never resolved so we had to use a key. She also purchased a box fan when the fan onsite didn't work. Great area! Nice place. Close to everything. Couldn't fit our SUV in the garage. There was an odor that we never figured out. May have been coming from the sink.

RMNP Launchpad

Great location and wished we could have stayed longer. Perfect access for RMNP, Estes Park and surrounding area. The unit was clean, well supplied for meal prep and felt like a great home away from home. Would definitely stay here again. We have a family of five and it worked great for our group. Seeing the stars at night from the upstairs deck was really nice. Unit contains all amenities needed minus air conditioning. It was hot during our stay and the late afternoons were warm until sunset. The garage would not accommodate our full size SUV. If your vehicle is larger than a small crossover SUV it will not fit, and you must park in lot adjacent spaces to the building available. During unloading our luggage (in front of the garage) the neighbors called the mgmt company to complain. We were there for all of 25-30 minutes, and never away from the vehicle for more than 2 minutes. The wireless internet also did not work, and the mgmt company was unable to resolve. This upset our teenager during our time there in the evening. Despite these small nuisances we definitely would recommend the unit to travelers wishing to enjoy the area.

Nice house near the lake

House is very nice for families whose members can handle stairs. If you are driving a suburban or expedition or comparable size cars, they will not go in the garage. Door does not go high enough. Excellent communication with property manager.

Beautiful Location in the Middle of Estes Park

Overall, the stay was great. There was no mention that the location does not have AC, which would have been good to know. We would have still chosen to stay in this location. There was potentially an issue with the property management company, but VRBO handled it and was wonderful to work with. VRBO ensured our trip would go as planned.

Great place- awful management company. They were very slow in responding to my questions most of which were never answered. I would recommend the place itself but I would strongly suggest the owner select a new management company. They are not doing you any favors.

Nice very comfortable home

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was nice, clean and very comfortable. The only issue we had was the fireplace wasn't working and the company managing the property (Vacasa) was not very responsive and waited until the next day to come out and take a look at it. They finally connected us to our "guest agent" who was very helpful and came out to connect the fireplace. We're just not sure why we had to wait so long.

A bit disappointed…

The bedsheets and pillows smell like that of a frat house, the sign on the door about no shoes was a great idea minus the muddied carpet we were then expected to walk on, couldn’t find extra blankets and after telling the manager it was never acknowledged. Tv has ONE channel, the garage door is too short so our ski rack wouldn’t fit so we couldn’t park in it, only driveway with ice, we get blocked in by others parking behind us, the shower floor is grey and gross, shower walls are slimy like cleaner was sprayed but never scrubbed or wiped, towels are so rough you tear up your skin drying off, fan blades are heavily coated in dust, hot water runs out quickly, but decent location.
