"Elk Spring"-Dog Friendly home w/ HOT TUB!
License #3343. Welcome to “Elk Spring”, a family-friendly home in the heart of the Rocky Mountains! Aptly named for the natural spring flowing through the front yard, elk and other species frequently stop by for a drink.
Conveniently located off Highway 7, the house is only minutes to Lake Estes, Estes Park Community Center, Estes Park fairgrounds, downtown, and so much more. Most area activities are within a 10-minute drive of the home. Biking and walking trails are easily accessible as well.
Modern conveniences, incorporated with the cozy charm of an older cottage, create a warm and inviting interior. The whole family can enjoy time together in the open concept entertainment area. The living room boasts comfortable seating, smart TV and Blu-ray player, electric fireplace, toys, and board games. With quartz counters and stainless-steel appliances, the updated kitchen has been fully stocked with everything needed to cook at home. Enjoy your meals in the adjacent dining area, with a large table that can comfortably seat 8. Admire views of the natural surroundings from one of several outdoor areas. Stay warm by the gas fire pit on the front patio as you watch elk wander about. Or cook up a meal on the gas grill on the back patio, all while watching the children play in the private back yard.
After a long day of adventures, you will be ready to enjoy a comfortable night’s rest in one of three bedrooms. Located closest to the living area, Bedroom 3 is the coziest of the bedrooms with a queen bed. Located down the hall, past the laundry area and full bathroom, is Bedroom 2. As the largest bedroom, this room is furnished with a king bed, twin daybed with trundle, and a smart TV with Blu-ray player. Bedroom 2 is ideal for a couple with children or teens. Furthest from the living area, the primary suite is a secluded escape from the rest of the house. Enjoy watching TV from the comfort of the king bed with the warm ambiance of an electric fireplace. French doors open to the back patio, providing easy access to the hot tub. The private ensuite bathroom has double sinks, stand up shower, and walk-in closet. All beds have been outfitted with cotton sheets and covers, along with quality pillows. Each bedroom closet is equipped with clothes storage, hangers, a fan, blankets, and extra pillows.
The house has many family-friendly amenities to entertain the youngest members of the group. Small children will enjoy the playset in the back yard, while teens will like shooting hoops. The garage game room has been converted into an additional entertainment area, perfect for teens and young adults. The room includes a ping pong table, foosball table, board games, seating area, and TV. (Note: The garage is not accessible from inside the house. A step stone path leads from the front door to the garage door. This space is not conditioned. )
Other amenities to enhance your experience include: - High-speed Wi-Fi - Complimentary coffee station with coffee pods, sugar, sugar alternative, and creamers provided - Full laundry facilities: detergents, iron, and ironing board are provided - Gas grill with cooking utensils - Infant equipment and toys; including a Pack-n-Play and bouncer. - Toddler/ young child equipment and toys; including a highchair, step stool, toilet training seat, and age-appropriate toys and books.

Reliably Great Estes Park Spot!
I have stayed here with my two adult friends several times. We love staying at this spot because of the 3 standalone rooms - great for adult friends hanging out in one place and still maintaining privacy. The location is convenient for a lot of activities, and the hot tub is awesome. The kitchen has everything you could want while cooking in a vacation rental. Heather is a very thoughtful and communicative host. Couldn’t recommend this spot more!

Excellent for family of 5
Enjoyable home near everything in Estes Park. 5 minutes from downtown, and had everything our family of 5 with 2 dogs needed for a relaxing stay. Would definitely stay here again.
