I highly recommend this location. I didn't remember it upon booking, but I had actually stayed at this home a couple years prior with a friend of mine who had booked it. We loved it then and I loved it again this time around!
The house: this home is very clean , which is important to me when I stay somewhere. Lots of extra towels available. Plenty of closet space (walk-in closets), shelving and hangers. In addition, compared to a few other homes I've stayed at, it has all appliances and kitchenware necessary to cook at home, which is very convenient. We cooked full breakfast there and sometimes, we found the restaurants in town closed early and we wanted something later at night. Again, we were able to cook at the home.
On the main floor, you have the master bedroom and bath--bathroom was very spacious--shower head pressure was really good (important to some people). There is a heater vent on the floor just below the towel rack so we always had warm towels! :) The living area has a fireplace that comes on with a flip of the switch--was very nice to sit in front of for the cold, snowy nights! There is plenty of comfortable seating for everyone to gather in front of the fireplace and hang out and talk or play one of the many games/cards that are provided. The dining room is spacious and has enough seating for everyone. Upstairs, there is a loft with TV--another space to hang out in or if you have a family, for the kids to hang out in and be separate from the adults, but still within earshot. Two more spacious bedrooms and a full bathroom upstairs--walk-in closet as well upstairs.
Location: this house if located exactly where you would want it. It's only couple minutes (if that) from downtown Estes. It's located on the river in a very quiet neighborhood. The river runs through the backyard and is only a few steps from the back porch/deck. There's a packed dirt walkway that runs along the river. I've run along that in the summertime. The river is very peaceful--it's nice to walk along in the morning.
The home is located very close to everything--downtown, restaurants, and is very close to the entrance of RMNP.
I will definitely stay at this location again.
