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.

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!

Refreshing

This stay was everything my husband and I needed. A much needed getaway from the world and this location definitely knew the assignment. Away from everything except nature and it was electrifying( literally) as the mountains vibrated energy from them. Heidi was amazing from the beginning of our check in until the end at our check out. The perfect energy cleanse to remove all blockages. Don’t wait book!

Weekend Getaway

I had some high expectations from seeing the beautiful photos on the VRBO listing, and I must say that once we drove up the mountain and walked in... it exceeded them. From the communication before getting to the property and all throughout, it all was perfect. We found it hard to want to leave this beautiful home. Great views all around with nobody around but the Elk that visited us in the mornings. A cozy and spacious home with everything we needed and more. My friends and I highly recommend staying here and would love to return again one day.

Winter Getaway

This was the perfect place for our quick winter getaway to Estes Park. The house is beautiful and the views are absolutely stunning! The kitchen was well stocked, there were a ton of games to play, and there were snowshoes/microspikes for us to use on our hikes in Rocky Mountain NP. The owner was great and provided a bunch of helpful information. My only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer, but we will be back and will stay here again!

Spectacular Mountain Luxury

We’ve rented a lot of homes and this was our hands down favorite! Very private high above Estes Park with huge windows looking out over the snow-covered peaks of Rocky Mountain National Park. We had three couples, each literally with their own private suite of spacious king bedroom, bathroom with shower, and separate sitting area. The great room is spectacular with high ceilings, tall rock fireplace and large dining area, and a chef’s kitchen equipped with all of appliances, dishes, glasses and utensils For 10 guests. The wrap around deck with gas grill, table and chairs, outdoor fireplace and hot tub gave us wonderful nights under the stars. Host Heidi answered our calls on the spot, made us feel so welcome and gave us tips about the best hiking trails. I would recommend this one-of-a-kind custom-built retreat to any group visiting Estes Park12 Thumbs Up!

Spectacular!

We were so blessed to stay at this mountain top home as we celebrated an early Christmas. We all flew in from different parts of the country. Our hosts paid attention to every detail. Best place we’ve stayed yet! We felt like we were staying at a 5 star resort. The hot tub was relaxing after a day of touring Rocky Mountain National park, which is just a few miles away. Our master bed was incredibly comfortable with super soft bedding. Every window had a spectacular view of the mountains. A must stay for us again. Thank you!!!

Mountain retreat

We stayed for 4 nights with 8 year old, 40 year olds and a 70 year old. This property is exactly what we all needed. Views and wilderness but with the comfort of a luxury property. We drove our Tesla and the charger in the garage was so nice, typically we charge at the Stanley hotel and it was very convenient to charge on site. The road was no problem for our Tesla. Lots of animals to see out the windows, deer, elk, turkeys. We had so much fun and would stay again!

Spectacular. Absolutely spectacular…

It was an incredible time up at the Estes Park Estate. We’re a tight-knit group of five friends juggling demanding careers, large families and all the stressors and strains therein; to find a spot like this was just what the doctors ordered. From start to finish, our host Heidi was a marvel. Detailed, welcoming, mindful and kind. The house (castle!) was stunning. Gorgeous, clean, modern and comfortable. The great room was washed in sunlight at all times of the day and we couldn’t have been more blessed by the weather. Amenities were perfect; we’ve got some grill-masters in our crew, so our time was almost exclusively spent on the wraparound sun deck with the outdoor fireplace, gas grilling station and hot tub. The views were breathtaking and the silence of the surrounding mountains gave us some of the best sleep we’ve had in months. Downtown Estes had some awesome breweries and distilleries to visit, and we created a day-crawl to visit each one. Only, we never actually went because we couldn’t rip ourselves away from the house for that long, we enjoyed our sanctuary that much. Our only mild critique: Heidi told us that we couldn’t take the house with us when we left; she wanted us to leave it there on the mountain for others to enjoy. Completely understandable. Oh- my-gosh, were we grateful to our Super-Hostess Heidi, and, oh-my-gosh, you need to visit so you can have your own extraordinary experience. Highest recommendations and compliments for our golden stay.

Best Vacation

We vacation in Estes Park every year and this was our first time staying in this house. It was awesome. It truly was. Secluded and equipped with everything you need. After stocking up at the grocery store, we hardly even left the house for a whole week. I had the most relaxing time, the hot tub and outdoor fireplace on the wraparound deck and mountain views from every window and chair on the deck...it was beautiful. I was thrilled to find a yoga mat at the house and used it every morning out on the deck. It was perfect.
