This is the southern apartment in a newly remodeled duplex, perfectly situated just footsteps from Rocky Mountain National Park’s boundary. You will love its cleanliness and modern, cozy vibe. It’s well appointed with new flooring, new paint, new living room sofa, new bed, and more, and the brand new fully equipped kitchen will allow you to feel at home during your Estes Park vacation.
The owner spent nearly three months during the winter of 2019 working to create a quiet and relaxing sanctuary for your mountain retreat.
The best part, however are the incredible views off the front porch. It’s surrounded by mountains and you can walk into the National Park right from the front door. It’s only a few hundred yards away! The deck also features a picnic table and BBQ
My home offers 1 bedroom with a comfortable memory-foam mattress to ensure a good night sleep after a long day of hiking. Attached is a closet for your gear. There are cool bohemian curtains on bedroom door and on one window, while the eastern windows feature blackout shades to ensure a sound night’s rest. If you like to wake up with the sunrise, you can leave them up and watch the room light up in the mornings.
There’s a spacious dining room table and a comfy couch to lounge in while you stream your favorite Netflix series on the speedy WiFi.
The kitchen has everything you need to cook: a full stove and oven, fridge and freezer, and assortment of pots and pans. There are knives, cutting boards, wine glasses, coffee mugs, and a french press so you can get your caffeine fix before you enjoy the park. The space also features a full size washer and dryer that you are free to use.
A FEW REVIEWS
The apartment is so tastefully decorated. It had every amenity we needed- and more! It was so clean and fresh which made our stay even better. The view is so lovely! Sitting out on the deck is heavenly. It is so quiet and peaceful. We even saw elk!
NOTE BEFORE BOOKING
4WD in Winter
4WD/AWD are recommended from October to May. If you arrive during a winter storm and can’t make it the last few hundred feet to the home, you’ll need to ferry your stuff by hand, park at our other home two blocks away, and walk back. This weather happens a few times a year.
Shared Walls
This is a duplex, and both sides are short term rentals. The only shared space, however, is the driveway. The wall separating the units is sound insulated, but please be respectful and don’t make a ton of noise. Everyone is here to relax!
Seclusion
There are other rental units nearby in my historic cabin neighborhood. If you are looking for complete seclusion and and isolation in the woods, this isn’t your best bet. This is a great location though, near town with the National Park in the back yard.
Bears
Becuase this home borders the National Park, the bears and other animals don’t need to venture through civilization to explore it. Do NOT leave anything smelly in your car at night! Bears are known to break in and cause a lot of damage.
