A small (414 sq ft), creative hideaway built for location, atmosphere, and moments.

★★★★★ PLEASE READ THIS ★★★★★

+ 2 can sleep in the queen bed, and there’s a sofa bed that is slightly smaller than a full size bed. It`s a tight squeeze for 4 grown adults.
+ The driveway is tight, so huge trucks and vans are ill-advised. 1 parking spot only
+ Check in is 4pm or later; check out is 10am or earlier. Our cleaners can`t accommodate exceptions.
+ No smoking inside, outside or even in neighborhood (HOA rules)
+ No fire pits; no parties; no pets.
+ We`ve arranged a deal with our cleaning service that allows us to keep our cleaning fees lower than the vast majority of houses this size. Guests need to wash their dishes & start a load of towels in the washer, which saves the cleaners an hour of work while the machine runs.

★★★★★ GUEST LOVE ★★★★★

`This place was hands down the best airbnb I’ve ever stayed at. In what seems like a pretty small space from the outside is the cutest, cleanest, most aesthetically pleasing cottage. The location was ideal with the town being a few minutes walk down the street.` - Elaina

We stayed here for one night to have some time away from the kids for the first time in THREE years. We could not have asked for a better place to reconnect. The place is so charming and is decorated so uniquely and special.” - Tara

“This is our 3rd 4th time staying at Nathan’s and it’s perfect every time. Our favourite place in Estes Park!” - Rina

“I’m an Airbnb host as well and find myself evaluating each place I`m a guest at to identify what could have been better (to take back to my own rental), however, I came up with no constructive feedback - only inspiration.” - Courtney

“Absolutely wonderful!!! Such a cute little house, perfect for a romantic getaway and just a 6 minute walk from downtown.” - Makenna

★★★★★ MY HOME ★★★★★

My remodeled artsy bohemian bungalow sits on a quiet hillside overlooking downtown Estes Park. You can drive to Rocky Mountain National Park in 5 minutes, walk to restaurants, swing by Bond Park for live music, or chill on the deck watching hummingbirds.

The deck offers amazing views of Old Man Mountain and Prospect Mountain – rare for a place this close to town.

And the instruments! There`s a piano, ukulele, guitar, mandolin, bongos, and djembe drum waiting for you.

I call it Mellow Yellow for its warm, artsy vibe and awesome lighting. Perfect for romantic getaways or just escaping the daily grind. It`s cozy and fully equipped with everything you need.
