Stunning Home! Rare Views & Ultimate Privacy – Perfect Location Bordering RMNP!

Experience the breathtaking beauty of the Rocky Mountains at Estes Peak Retreat, a stunning custom home nestled on 31 private acres bordering Rocky Mountain National Park. Just over two miles from the park entrance and a quick six-minute drive to downtown Estes Park, this one-of-a-kind escape offers both seclusion and convenience. Plus, thanks to its unique location, the property enjoys an INCREDIBLY LOW TAX RATE—just 3.7% compared to the typical 14.2%! (registration # 6172, Larimer county Approval Number: 20-NCD0254)

Step onto the expansive 1,000 sq. ft. Brazilian redwood porch, where you can unwind by the fireplace, soak in the hot tub, or dine under the stars—all while taking in awe-inspiring mountain views and frequent visits from local wildlife. Inside, the home exudes warmth and luxury with custom alder wood trim and cabinetry—the same durable wood used in Venice’s historic pilings and Fender guitars. With three spacious king bedrooms, multiple inviting living areas, and both indoor and outdoor fireplaces, this retreat is designed for unforgettable mountain getaways.

House features:

The deluxe kitchen at Estes Peak Retreat is a chef’s dream, featuring spacious granite countertops, a luxurious island, and a high-end gas stove. Fully equipped with top-tier cookware and a selection of spices, it has everything needed to create gourmet meals. The adjoining dining area boasts an extended table, perfect for family reunions or lively gatherings with friends—all set against the stunning backdrop of the Rocky Mountains.

Estes Peak Retreat offers three spacious king bedrooms and 3 ½ baths, ensuring comfort for every guest. An additional trundle bed in the lower-level open area and a twin bed in one of the king bedrooms provide extra sleeping space. Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows frame breathtaking mountain views, with two bedrooms offering especially stunning panoramas. For added convenience, a washer and dryer are available for guest use.

With three inviting sitting areas, there’s space for everyone—each bedroom has i't own private area nearby for entertainment and relaxation. Enjoy Dish TV in the upper and lower living areas, as well as in the master bedroom, along with WiFi and an outdoor grill for added convenience. After a day of snowshoeing, hiking, or skiing, unwind by the indoor or outdoor fireplace or soak in the hot tub under the mountain sky. Snowshoes are provided for winter adventurers!

The half-mile mountain driveway ensures ultimate privacy, keeping curious onlookers at bay and allowing guests to fully relax in seclusion. While the driveway is easily navigable in the summer—even in a Prius—its three sharp turns make it less suitable for large RVs. In snowy conditions, four-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, or snow tires are required for safe access. For added convenience, an electric vehicle outlet is available in the garage..

From June to early September, we prioritize full-week Saturday-to-Saturday bookings. As these months approach, we may offer shorter stays if availability allows. During other times of the year, the minimum stay ranges from 2 to 4 nights. If you spot an opening on the calendar that you’re unable to book, please reach out—we’d love to accommodate you and share the beauty of Estes Peak Retreat!

A friendly recommendation: We strongly suggest purchasing rental insurance for any vacation in Colorado. While the experience here is truly unforgettable, and our guests have marveled at the breathtaking beauty right from our home, unpredictable events—from snowstorms and wildfires to illness or travel disruptions—can arise. We want you to book with confidence, knowing your getaway is protected no matter what.

For the safety and security of both our property and guests, the basement door is equipped with a NEST door lock and doorbell.
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.
Enjoy recreational amenities such as a water park and a hot tub. Additional amenities at this vacation home include an arcade/game room and barbecue grills.

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful home in Estes Park. From the moment we walked in, it felt cozy, welcoming, and thoughtfully put together. Every room was decorated so cute and warm, and the house had absolutely everything we could have ever needed for a perfect getaway.The hosts were incredibly helpful and kind, making sure our stay was smooth and comfortable from start to finish. You can tell they truly care about their guests and take pride in creating a space that feels special.We fell in love with this place and the peaceful surroundings, and we’re already looking forward to making this our yearly tradition. It’s the kind of home you step into once and immediately know you’ll be back.

I don't even know where to start — everything was absolutely perfect. The host was incredible: friendly, welcoming, and provided crystal-clear instructions and a detailed manual that made everything effortless.The cabin itself was immaculate and beautifully maintained, with every detail in perfect condition. It had everything we needed and so much more. The location is unbeatable — almost at the top of the mountain, peaceful, quiet, and extremely safe, yet only 5 minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park in one direction and town in the other.The host also gave us countless tips and extremely helpful information that made our trip even better. We had the best vacation ever, and this is by far the best cabin we have ever rented. It simply couldn’t be better.

This property was everything we were looking for. Isolated with gorgeous Mountain Views. We were blessed to have snow while we were staying and it was like being in a snow globe with amazing views everywhere you looked. Plenty of room yet gives you the cozy vibe. We have stayed at several nice places in Estes over the years but this will be our return stay from now on. No more shopping for places.
Morning view from the dining room.  Breath taking.

This is just a beautiful home. We stayed here for 5 nights in early November to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. We brought our family with us. Every single one of us had a magical time. Rocky National Park is next door, literally, and we hiked every day. We came home, and that is what if felt like, home, and cleaned up, and read by the wood burning fireplace. There is also a wood burning fireplace on the deck. And the fireplace inside is enormous, with enough wood to last all winter.We cooked dinner in every night as a family. There is literally every single thing you could want in the kitchen. We love to cook so used lots of it. Even the crockpot, which was top of the line. There is a drawer of spices and they covered everything we needed. All very organized as well. There are cozy blankets/throws everywhere. We hit the game closet and did board games in the evening.The host, Heidi, is wonderful. She responded to everything quickly, although, frankly, everything was so well put together we did not need to reach out for much.We all highly recommend this place and would say it is one of our favorite rentals on VRBO ever!

This was our 2nd year staying at this stunning home and we absolutely loved it, once again. My husband and I stayed for 10 days this time and still felt like we could have stayed longer. We had family nearby in Longmont that came to stay with us for the weekend and Heidi was so generous with her permission for them to come stay with us, even at last minutes notice. She is truly so kind and we all had the best time! I cant say enough good things about this home and owner. Looking forward to next year already!

Wonderful wraparound porch with incredible views - especially from the hot tub! Easy check in/check out procedures. Great book with instructions and Heidi even called to make sure we didn’t have any questions and that everything was perfect for our stay!

Just Stunning!

This is a beautiful property in a stunning spot! It is spacious inside but you will spend your time on the huge deck just staring at the views. The rooms are well appointed, large and comfortable. We stayed a week for my son's wedding, and had a simply wonderful time. The owners were very helpful, accommodating and easy to communicate with through text. Beds comfortable with many choices of pillows to make your sleep perfect. We would definitely stay here again should we return to the area. The only negative we could even think of is the driveway - it is long and winding - but after that first drive up and down, even that wasn't a real negative. It is the reason this is a private quiet sanctuary! Book this house - you won't be disappointed!!

PERFECTION!

My husband and I were finally able to take our honeymoon after several years and found this property and to say it was a dream would be lie. The home was stunning and the views were even better from the property. To say we had the best honeymoon would be an understatement and we will be returning for sure. The host was amazing answering all of our questions, and staying in communication with us making sure we were well taken care of. If you are even thinking about staying here just stop and book it, I promise it will be worth every bit you won't want to leave.

The pictures don’t do this place justice

We stayed for 3 nights the first week of May. My kids are all adults and said it was the nicest place they ever stayed, and we have traveled a lot. There are beautiful Mountain View’s, the kitchen and rest of the home had everything we needed. It’s located just far enough away from town to feel secluded, but close enough to be convenient. I would recommend this home if you plan to stay near Estes Park and RMNP.

An Absolute Gem of a Property

This is a wonderful and well-kept home. The views out of the expansive windows in the main living area and bedrooms are breathtaking. The home is minutes from RNP, as well as the Roosevelt National Forest, and there are many options for outdoor activities. Downtown Estes Park with its restaurants and shopping is also less than 10 minutes away. The owners are very friendly and accommodating as well. This property is a 10/10 in all respects.

Anniversary Getaway!!

We have always wanted to visit Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park and thought these places would be perfect to celebrate our 19th wedding anniversary. We had originally booked another home but when we came across Estes Peak Retreat and looked at the photos and read the reviews, we immediately canceled our reservation and booked this home. From day one until we checked out, Heidi, the homeowner, was over the top accommodating and very personable. Everything about this home exceeded our expectations! The home was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and the views were absolutely stunning - WOW! We give it more than 5 stars and look forwarding to returning one day!
