Joel Estes

The owners raised their kids in this gorgeous home near the lake, but recently moved higher into the mountains around town. They are now proud to rent their place out to people who truly wish for the best Estes has to offer. They have so many fond memories from around our backyard fire pit or from family cookouts on the deck, and they hope you experience the same!

Our home is located a few minutes east of town, in walking distance to Lake Estes and all the great fishing below the causeway as the lake empties out into the Big Thompson River just before it heads down canyon. The home is up a small hillside so it’s elevated, and you’ll have nice views of the mountains from the deck, hot tub, and some of the bedrooms. We have parking for three cars at our house, and it’s about a 10 minute walk to the seasonal free bus system that goes around Estes Park and into the National Park.

BEDROOMS

The home offers 3 bedrooms, plus sleeping for two more on a sofa bed in the living room.

1. The master suite has a luxurious king bed, views of the mountains so you can watch the sun rise or sun set, and a comfortable en suite bathroom with a shower. It’s on the opposite side of the house from the other bedrooms so it’s got a little more privacy.
2. A favorite bedroom with absolutely enormous picture windows, a comfy queen mattress, and a door leading out to the deck. It’s raised off the ground and offers a treehouse feel, and if you keep the windows open you can fall asleep to the stars.
3. Next to bedroom 2, also featuring a queen bed and windows, adjacent to the second bathroom.

LIVING & ENTERTAINMENT

Living Room – Guests love the open floor plan! The living room, kitchen and dining area all adjoin each other in one great room, complete with a funky old yellow piano you’re free to use. There is also a massive French patio door opening onto the deck, with the grill and outdoor picnic area. Beneath the coffee table is a great selection of games for family game nights.

Outdoor Living & Hot Tub – The home has two big decks, both of which have staircases leading down to the hot tub and the fire pit in the yard. There is ample space for outdoor dining and grilling on the deck, and the hot tub has great mountain views. Just down from the hot tub is a quaint outdoor gas fire pit for family gatherings.

Media Room – Downstairs is a great media room with a huge flatscreen TV with lots of streaming options as well as a foosball table. Movie nights are the best!

LAUNDRY & COOKING

Kitchen – The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils, small appliances, fridge, freezer, full size oven and stove, microwave, drop coffee maker, toaster, and more. You may not actually use it that much because you can walk to all the great restaurants in downtown!

Laundry – The home features a full size washer and dryer for you to use!
