Retreat on Old Man Mountain
License #: 3444 On the side of Old Man Mountain you will find the Eagles Nest Mountain Retreat. Rejuvenate your family in the crisp mountain air while overlooking the town of Estes Park below you on the wrap-around deck. Access to 16 acres of private land protected by a conservation easement allows for hiking, bouldering, and gaining the summit of Old Man Mountain for a beautiful view of the valley. 5 bedrooms two suites, loft and a bunk room with a total of 8 beds.
As you come up the driveway you will immediately notice the unique features of this property. Rock outcroppings dominate the landscape in all directions including a very large truck-sized boulder that dominates the opening scene. Behind the house the rocky mountain towers over the property several hundred feet up. The opposite direction provides views of the town in the valley below.
Walk in on the main floor to a cozy living room with a HD Smart TV. Off this living room is a bedroom with a queen bed and attached half bath/laundry combo. Upstairs is the main living room with another HD Smart TV, dining room, and kitchen. This level has a wrap-around deck and 4 large sliding glass doors that invite the indoors and outdoors to become one. Go up a half flight of stairs to the three bedrooms and bathrooms - 4 more steps lead to the loft with two queen beds and TV area. The three bedrooms consist of two suites with attached full bathrooms, and a third bedroom with a queen bed and twin over twin bunk bed. The Mountain. This property is part of a 16-acre conservation easement that includes a large portion of Old Man Mountain. The mountain is an icon in Estes Park - visible from most places in town. An easy hike to the top renders picturesque vistas in all directions. The easement protects the wildlife habitat and nature of this historic rock which goes back 5000 years when Native Americans used it as a "vision quest" site. This property allows its guests to get away yet still be so close to town. I don't know that there is another large chunk of land this close to downtown. This property is the last one on the street with a large buffer from everything else - yet you could walk downtown in 15 minutes and see Lake Estes from the deck.
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
This smoke-free vacation home features games, rock climbing nearby, and cross-country skiing nearby. Recreational activities include hiking/biking trails nearby, kayaking nearby, and rafting nearby.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Perfect location and great views. We came to Estes Park for a wedding and this house was perfect for my husband and I, our 2 grown children, and 6 grandkids. The loft area, along with the bunk room were ideal for the grandkids. The beds were very comfortable and the house was well stocked with detergents, paper products (tp and paper towels), and coffee making our trip to the store easier. Owner is very sick with communication.

Owner was extremely friendly and responsive. The downtown shopping district with free parking was only a couple minutes drive. RMNP was only around 10 min drive. Steep driveway to a large parking area that easily held out 3 big SUVs and could have held 1-2 more. The home was rather warm on the hot summer day we arrived. We moved around the portable air conditioners to cool it down - luckily, days cooled down after that. The 3 full baths were renovated and lovely. Kitchen was well stocked. (I was told by my husband to mention that the toilet paper was very nice.) There was a trailhead very nearby to a pretty mountain hike.

Great week in shadow of Old Man Mountain
Extended family of 6 adults 5 children 8-16 years old. This house is exactly as advertised with excellent location just 5 minutes or less to downtown and east access to RMNP. We have spent many weeks in Estes Park over the last two decades and this may be our favorite vacation home yet.

Awesome location and unique property
We had a great stay. The proximity to the park and town were perfect for our plans in Estes Park. The landscape around the house was awesome for kids playing (although you have to be very careful). Only negatives were a couple beds weren’t very clean and the deck had a few loose boards. But overall an awesome stay and good communication throughout with management.

Wonderful House Wonderful Location
We greatly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house in Estes Park. In addition to the great location, the house was the perfect size for our family with plenty of common area and private space. Recent upgrades to the sitting area and bathrooms are beautiful. The large kitchen was well stocked with pans and utensils and a nice outdoor grill was perfect for preparing family dinners to serve around the large dining room table. The view from the large deck was fantastic. We highly recommend this beautiful home for your vacation.

Marvelous Mountain Stay
Location, location, location! The property is in the best area of Estes Park, with views, places to explore, and serenity of nature. We had teenagers and adults, ages 12 to 78, and it was enjoyed by all. Host was responsive to needs and easy to communicate with. We especially appreciated the multiple bathrooms, including next to the downstairs bedroom. Property is as pictured - the open living area is great for gathering. Added bonus - we were there over July 4th and watching the fireworks from the deck while avoiding all the traffic was fantastic!
