Thanks for checking out our brand new loft, which my husband and I designed ourselves. Construction just finished in mid-2020, so it's sparkly clean and in awesome shape. It's a perfect spot for couples who are excited to explore the National Park or the downtown district, and our immediate neighborhood has everything you need for a fun visit.

Within blocks of our home are the best street tacos in town, a great Thai restaurant, and our two favorite breweries. You can also walk a block and a half to Lake Estes to fish or just hang out. The convenience can't be beat.

When we decided to add on to our home, we wanted to create an inviting space that makes you feel like you're high up in the air. We are avid rock climbers, after all! The massive second-floor picture windows offer commanding views over our neighborhood to the mountains of Lumpy Ridge and the twinkly lights of the Stanley Hotel.

The space features an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, so it feels big for its 600-ish square feet. The kitchen/dining/living area encourages socialization and it's got a funky, modern vibe. At the same time, the cozy bedroom in the rear of the building is quiet as can be.

While our neighborhood is residential, it's frequently overrun with elk, deer and other wildlife that venture over after drinking from Lake Estes, about a block away. Animal sightings are common, so be ready.

All access is plowed and flat, so, you will be fine year round with whatever car you choose. We do recommend AWD however.

We are new hosts, but we are happy to have our good friend of 10 years managing our home. Nathan and his house manager Nancy have hosted 8000+ guests since 2016 and we know you will be in great hands. Their past guests have raved about their prompt replies, attention to detail, and ability to make you feel totally at home.

***** IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES *****

This is a private guest suite in an accessory unit above our garage. It's attached to our home, and we live there year round. We give our guests privacy but you may see us coming and going.

We live in a residential neighborhood; if you are looking for isolation in the woods, this isn't your best bet. For that you'll need to search 10 miles or more out of Estes Park.

The fully stocked kitchenette has a 2 burner cooktop but no stove.

Last, check in is 4PM and check out is 10AM. We can't accommodate early check ins and late check outs due to my cleaners' schedule and the extra time needed for coronavirus precautions.

My husband Amos and I are long time Estes locals. We love to hike, ride bikes, rock climb, and ski in the National Park. We give our guests privacy but want to ensure you have a great visit. Our good friend Nathan is managing our home, along with his house manager Nancy, and they will take great care of you!

Our neighborhood is fun and convenient. Situated in a residential zone, our home is a block and a half from Lake Estes. It's also just blocks from our two favorite breweries (Avant Garde Aleworks and Lumpy Ridge Brewing), both with great outdoor seating. The best street tacos in town are at either La Cocina de Mama or an incredible Mexican grocery store, both about a block away. You can also walk over to the fairgrounds for Estes' biggest events, to our favorite Thai restaurant, to a liquor store, laundry mat, and other restaurants and bars. Downtown is close by too.

During the summer, there's a free shuttle bus that goes all over Estes Park and into the National Park. You'll want to walk a few blocks to the Estes Park Events Complex for the closest shuttle.

WE LIVE HERE

Note that we live in the home. You will have access to a guest suite with no interior shared spaces/overlap. It's totally private.

NOISE

Events, loud music and noises, and parties are strictly prohibited. Please be respectful of your noise level so I can maintain good relationships with my neighbors.

NONPAYING GUESTS

Insurance requires that nonpaying and non-registered guests are not allowed on property.

ADDITIONAL GUEST FEE

There is an additional charge per person for your stay after the first two guests. The platform will automatically calculate the total when you input your dates and guest count.

AIR CONDITIONER

Estes has a mild mountain climate in the summers but from time to time it can get hot. Like nearly every other home in town, there’s no A/C. The cool evening breeze plus fans will cool the home down quickly.

BEARS

Do NOT leave food in your car! Bears frequent this area and can break in!
