Mountain House

The owners chose to retire in this home because of the views — they couldn’t find anything better in all of Estes Park. Enjoy the one-story living on top of a quiet hillside overlooking downtown, with the giant rock formations of Lumpy Ridge (part of Rocky Mountain National Park) looming in the distance and the sounds of Fall River wafting up from just below the lot.

Guests have spent so many mornings enjoying the view from the deck, sipping coffee as the butterflies fly by and deer and elk munch on grass in the fields below. There are very few homes in downtown Estes Park with these views, so even if your family needs a day off from hiking and other adventures, you can still enjoy the Rockies from the comfort of the Mountain House.

Incredibly, if you set off on foot from the front door, you’ll find yourself exploring the best Estes has to offer in just a few minutes. Our favorite breweries, wineries, restaurants and shops are so close but they seem so far. Send your kids to a nearby adventure park, or take the whole family up the Aerial Tramway (all within a few blocks). Note that the walk home can be steep — but as past guests have said, it makes a tasty dessert guilt-free.

You’re invited to visit our beautiful blue abode — “The Mountain House” in Estes Park. You will love its spacious, open floor plan, perfect location, gorgeous views, cleanliness, and proximity to Rocky Mountain National Park. It’s perfectly appointed with comfy furnishings, a fully stocked kitchen, and countless amenities so you can feel at home during your mountain getaway in Estes Park.

The owners have recently upgraded and modernized the home, and they’re proud of the energy invested into creating a peaceful, serene and relaxing place for a mountain retreat. Some of the latest updates include all new stainless appliances, super comfortable new linens, and a ton of small kitchen appliances so you can cook whatever you can dream up. They’ve also invested in an enormous puzzle, game and toy closet to entertain the kids!

Our favorite feature of the home is the deck and its associated views. Despite being above downtown, you will almost certainly see elk, deer and other wildlife from the top of the ridge it sits on. A BBQ and great table on the deck complete the package. The sounds of Fall River make it so much more enjoyable during the spring when the snow melt starts and the water level rises.

BEDROOMS

The home offers 3 bedrooms, with sleeping for a maximum of 8 people (per town regulations).

Bedroom 1 – A massive and comfortable king sized bed located at the far end of the home away from the family room. Quiet and private.

Bedroom 2 – A queen bedroom adjacent to the family room, with a sliding door opening directly onto our porch. When we visit alone, we choose this bedroom and watch the morning sun light up the Rockies.

Bedroom 3 – The kids room has 2 bunk beds with four single beds, bringing our total sleeping capacity to 8.

LIVING & ENTERTAINMENT

Living & Sun Rooms – The living area has it all: treehouse feel due to the giant windows, the great views to Lumpy Ridge, a wood burning fire place (bring your own firewood), a big smart TV loaded with streaming apps, fast Wi-Fi, a book shelf with a ton of material, and a massive game closet. The attached sun porch heats up and is a favorite place for winter mornings when the snow is falling.

COOKING

Kitchen – The kitchen is fully stocked. It features an oven, a fridge/freezer, a microwave, various small appliances, cutlery, dishes, utensils, bowls/pots/pans and virtually anything else you may need or want.
