Beautiful home with amazing river view

Great place to vacation with amazing river views! Very impressed with the quality of the home. The host kept in communication with us through out the entire trip. It was close to all the action in Estes Park and remote enough to enjoy the wildlife that walked through the property. I would definitely recommend this place!

Best Estes Park Stay

This property was perfect for our family vacation to Estes Park. Our host checked in with us before, during, and after our stay and responded immediately when I had a question. The house is even more beautiful than pictured. We had easy access to lots of activities including downtown and RMNP. The river running next to the property was especially nice. I would 10/10 recommend this property to anyone vacationing in Estes Park!

The best vacation spot!

This was such a relaxing place to stay! We loved the huge windows and beautiful view. The location was wonderful for going to Rocky Mountain National Park or into town, but honestly the house itself was vacation enough. I could have just stayed by the fire in the living room watching the backyard stream all week. We have been renting vacation homes for a long time in different places and this was everyone’s favorite! It was immaculately clean and the hosts were very responsive when we had a question. We need to come back in warmer weather so we can hike more!

STUNNING!!! Must book

This was our third trip to Estes but our first staying on the river. This was by far our favorite home we have stayed in!! We loved sitting on the deck overlooking the river and the daily visits from elk. Our 3 year old enjoyed playing in the river and walking to the local coffee shop. The home was immaculately clean and had everything we could need. And the beds were extremely comfortable. We enjoyed every minute!

Spent 3 days here with my wife, 1.5 year old, and babysitter. Beautiful big house. Great kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms were new and spacious. Fished in the river directly behind the house. Caught a bunch of trout. Walked to get coffee in the mornings. Saw elk and beavers. Host was very helpful and immediately responsive. Wonderful value for the cost. 10/10 would stay again.

Nothing beats October in Estes Park

We just returned from a wonderful week in Estes Park chilling out during Fall Break. The VRBO house was fabulous! The location was perfect, just steps away from the Big Thompson River. We so enjoyed trying our hand at fly fishing & watching as a herd of dear walked through the yard daily. There was even a large elk grazing along the river. The house was very near one of the entrances to Rocky Mountain National Park, allowing multiple easy opportunities to view the beautiful Fall colors, elk ruts & some awesome stargazing! The house itself was beautiful & so comfortable for our group of six. It had everything we needed. The kitchen was well supplied with dishes, pans, great appliances & a gas grill on the deck overlooking the river. The beds were comfortable & bathrooms/showers were very clean & well stocked. Ann was fabulous to work with. She contacted us before our arrival to give directions to the house that would bypass the major construction traffic snarls in town. That was so thoughtful of her! She also gave advice about local grocery shopping options & even pointed us to a nearby sporting store where we could get expert advice in searching for the perfect fishing spots. In short, the stay was wonderful, everything we had hoped it would be. We hated to leave, but we hope we can stay there again sometime!
