Located on the West side of Prospect Mountain the view from the front porch is dominated by Long’s Peak and overlooks Mary’s Lake and the night sky is incredible. We spent every morning (with our coffee) and every evening (with something stronger) sitting on the porch talking and reminiscing and took some meals outside. The location is very quiet and relaxing. The house stayed cool with the daytime highs in the 80’s, even though there is no AC. The wild life was primarily mule deer being mid-August and pre-rut.
The Beaver Meadows entrance to RMNP is about 10 minutes away, depending on traffic. We just spent a week here on a siblings’ trip to take part of our parents’ ashes to RMNP. The house is very well maintained and supplied with basic necessities (TP, laundry/dishwasher soaps, paper products, etc.).
The local caretaker is very pleasant and responsive. Thanks for all the help and information, Chris.
With the 3 King sized beds and bathrooms for each of the main floor bedrooms this is definitely a great place for a group of adults. You should note that the house does sit up the side of the mountain and Little Prospect Rd off of Peak View Dr. is not paved. You best plan to drive something with some ground clearance. Our CR-V had no trouble, but our Camry might have.
