We are excited to welcome you to Estes Park, our little piece of paradise. We hope to provide you with an exceptional vacation experience.
This unique rental has two separate cabins on one property, each with one bedroom, one bath, and living area. The larger "Smiling Elk" has a full modern kitchen with a wonderful gas stove, full bath, queen bed, sleeper sofa, washer/dryer, and a wood-burning fireplace. Free high-speed broadband internet. Use your own streaming apps. We provide all linens, towels, a stocked kitchen, and toiletries. The kitchen includes coffee, tea, paper goods, and all the dishes and cooking equipment you may need. There is also a crock pot so you can have dinner ready and waiting when you return from the day's activities. The photo of this cabin can be deceiving. The door on the left is the bedroom, and the door on the right is the living room. The bedroom is accessed from inside, and the exterior door is rarely used. In the past, this cabin may have been two units. During the warm months, we install a window air conditioner in the living room, and there is always a ceiling fan in the bedroom.
The smaller and adorable "Little Bear" has a partial kitchen (sink, microwave, mini-fridge, coffee maker), 3/4 bath with tiled shower, two twin beds, and a sleeper sofa. This cabin also has a flat-screen TV and free high-speed broadband internet.
This property is ideal for couples, friends, or small families. It is situated near the west side of town, with easy access to Rocky Mountain National Park, yet only three miles from downtown. Several restaurants, coffee shops, miniature golf, and groceries are within walking distance. A free shuttle to downtown stops nearby every hour, so you could leave the driving to others and just enjoy the ride.
Enjoy a backyard BBQ on the gas grill, or visit nearby local's favorite Smokin' Dave's BBQ. Coffee on the Rocks is open early if you prefer to have your coffee prepared for you. All of these are just down the street and around the corner. Country Market has groceries, gas, and great ice cream. The well-known Bird & Jim restaurant is a short drive or walk, accessible without navigating the downtown traffic.
We are happy to answer any questions you may have about the Estes Park area and Rocky Mountain National Park, including local favorites, day hike suggestions, etc. Just give us a call before or during your stay. We want your vacation to be full of good memories, and will do what we can do to make that happen.
Please plan to bring your own reusable water bottles. Estes Park has award-winning water, and we hope you'll enjoy it's freshness. In an effort to be environmentally friendly, we discourage you from purchasing water in single-use plastic bottles.
If these cabins aren't available the dates you desire, please check out our other property that's right downtown - VRBO # 471009 - Riverwalk Loft Condos.
We look forward to being your hosts in Estes Park!
