Marvel your group with this glorious, open, and airy mountain home and get ready for the getaway of a lifetime! This family-friendly has it all for you to experience the Rocky Mountains like never before without giving up comfort and class. Inside, you'll be greeted by cathedral-like ceilings with enormous windows allowing the views of the mountains and wildlife to permeate this home. The large family room with sun galore boasts one sofa, one recliner, one oversized rocker, and one overstuffed chair with ottoman, which are the epitome of relaxation and comfort. The wood-burning fireplace is in charge to keep everybody warm during your stay and the flatscreen TV will keep everyone entertained no matter what. Just off the living room is the formal dining room with a rustic table for eight. A wood-burning fireplace right next to the dining table will add warmth during your dinners. The fully-equipped kitchen has every item that you need to create wonderful meals including a Keurig coffee maker with an adapter for regular coffee. Challenge your friends to a ping-pong tournament using the ping-pong table available in the garage; all you have to do is unfold it to play. Outside, the large deck offers plenty of seating to chill and relax, a picnic table and benches,a round rod iron table with four chairs, a gas grill, and your very own private hot tub. From here you can view the lake, the Town of Estes Park and Prospect Mountain. And that's not it! This charming mountain getaway allows dogs, so don't hesitate to bring the family dog with you.

What's nearby:
Sitting at 7,522 feet above sea level, this town is a favorite Colorado getaway due to its proximity to the Rocky Mountain National Park (you'll be only six and a half miles away), landmarks such as the historic Stanley Hotel, and a variety of galleries and family-friendly museums that are well worth a visit. Less than one mile away is the Estes Park 18-Hole Golf Course and if you or anyone in your group are golf enthusiasts, you'll be thrilled to know that this house offers two sets of basic golf clubs available for renters to use. This includes two bags and golf balls all located in the garage. If you're more of an outdoor person, the Lake Estes Marina is a short three-mile drive where you can find boat rentals, including kayaks and canoes and fishing, paddle, and pontoon boats. It's the perfect place to visit with your family, especially if during summer.

Amazing

This was a wonderful home with everything there you would need. It was very clean and easy to check in and out of. We made a lot of meals there so it was nice to have so many cooking items. The hot tub was wonderful also.

Elk Ridge Retreat - A home away from home

You can be comfortable here immediately and enjoy quiet, spacious, well appointed surroundings. Your are a short drive from downtown Estes Park and other area attractions. Be ready to photograph views and even herds of elk if you visit in the fall season.

Nice cabin, hard to have temperature just right

Nice location, very private. Easy to get where you want to go. Kitchen had lots of things, but hard to find what you needed and knives were really dull.

Lovely home

Everything about this home is wonderful. We were a family of seven and had an amazing time. Kitchen is fully equipped. Sitting in hot tub outdoor with wind blowing was super fun. The younger one occupied the den to play his video games.

Lovely Home in Estes

This house was beautiful and we loved the location. When we walked our dog we ran into flocks of turkeys and a few deer. The hot tub was great and nice after a day in the mountains. We also loved the kids' room that was filled with games and toys. It was perfect for our two boys.

Estes Park Elk Ridge Retreat

We loved everything about it! Clean to a T, hot tub as my wife says "lovely", comfy beds, kitchen utensils abundant, I could go on but you get the picture. This place has everything! We had an issue with the TV and less than an hour a tech was on-site. We'd definitely search out this property next time we enjoy Estes!!

Our stay was good, my only complaint was the hot tub did not have enough water to turn on jets so we didn’t get to use it. That was disappointing.

Very homey family retreat

We did a 4-generation girls weekend, and we all loved the homey feel. You could tell this is a well-loved family getaway. The kitchen cabinets were very well stocked with dishes, pans, toaster, utensils, etc. 2 coffee makers: keurig and regular (needs basket-type filters). 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths worked well, and the hot tub access directly from the main floor master bathroom was very convenient. We also liked the supply of movies and games including the ping pong table and corn hole. 6 min drive to downtown Estes was very convenient. We highly recommend.

Everything was great.

The location and view alone were worth it. Had life allowed, I would have been happy to stay more days. The property is kid centric which made it extremely easy for our first trip with our toddler. Plenty of activities and close to town for any necessary items.
