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.

Fabulous home with the best hosts!! This home is not your normal rental. It is fully stocked with so many unexpected extra things for your comfort and enjoyment. Wonderful wraparound porch with incredible views - especially from the hot tub! Easy check in/check out procedures. Great book with instructions and Heidi even called to make sure we didn’t have any questions and that everything was perfect for our stay! Highly recommend this home and especially if you are planning on going to RMNP- you won’t find a more convenient location! We can’t wait to go back!

Just Stunning!
This is a beautiful property in a stunning spot! It is spacious inside but you will spend your time on the huge deck just staring at the views. The rooms are well appointed, large and comfortable. We stayed a week for my son's wedding, and had a simply wonderful time. The owners were very helpful, accommodating and easy to communicate with through text. Beds comfortable with many choices of pillows to make your sleep perfect. We would definitely stay here again should we return to the area. The only negative we could even think of is the driveway - it is long and winding - but after that first drive up and down, even that wasn't a real negative. It is the reason this is a private quiet sanctuary! Book this house - you won't be disappointed!!

PERFECTION!
My husband and I were finally able to take our honeymoon after several years and found this property and to say it was a dream would be lie. The home was stunning and the views were even better from the property. To say we had the best honeymoon would be an understatement and we will be returning for sure. The host was amazing answering all of our questions, and staying in communication with us making sure we were well taken care of. If you are even thinking about staying here just stop and book it, I promise it will be worth every bit you won't want to leave.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!
