About this property

Beautiful Rocky Mountain 9-Hole Golf Course Home-Walk to Visitor Center and Town

(Estes Park Town Registration #3256)
Beautiful house located on the 2nd fairway of the Estes Park 9 Hole Golf Course. Spectacular mountain views from all windows including the deck. Our home is a short walk (500 yards or less) to the Estes Park Visitors Center, Lake Estes Walking Trail, Big Thompson River for fly fishing and Elk Calving Area. We are located a half mile from downtown and it is an easy walk. The Estes Park Visitors Center (short walk) has shuttle buses available to drive you into Rocky Mountain National Park during the summer season.

Two of the bedrooms have cedar log king size beds. The third bedroom has twin beds. All 3 bedrooms have a chest of drawers, TV with remote control and ceiling fans. The Game Room has a set of twin bunk beds and a queen size hideaway sofa (all with memory foam mattresses). We also have a travel crib at the house if you need it. However, our house is NOT baby or toddler proofed!

The main level has 1 King Bedroom and 1 Full Bath; the downstairs level has 1 King Bedroom, Twin Bedroom, Game Room with Bunk Beds (2) and a Queen Hide Away Sofa Bed and 1 Full Bath.

We also have an Office Area with a desk, printer and wireless internet for those of you who still need to work a little while on vacation. A full size washer and dryer are also located downstairs in the utility room. Laundry Room also has an extra sink with a mirror. And yes... we have an iron and ironing board.

The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking, Keurig coffee maker (bring your own K cups). Also included is a microwave, gas range, all utensils, pots, pans, plates, glasses and coffee mugs.

There is complimentary high-speed wireless internet. Also included is a 52 inch smart TV in the family room and a 32 inch flat screen TV in ALL 3 bedrooms with Sling streaming TV.

The large outside deck is great for watching the Elk, golfers or people fly fishing in the evening. We have lots of outside seating and a table if you choose to eat outside. There is a gas grill if you want to cook burgers or steak.

During elk rut season you will find many elk roaming the golf course behind our home. Amazing front row seat to this magical nature season. Also front row seats from the deck for the July 4th fireworks!

The house is very spacious and the location is great! It was very convenient to be within walking distance to the shops downtown. We kived watching the elk and geese on the golf course, and it was a perfect spot to watch the fireworks on the 4th of July! We would love to stay again.

Wonderful location, great house

This home is one of the best spots in Estes Park, in our opinion... beautiful views of the golf course and the mountains, but also walkable to downtown. The home had everything we needed, including all the kitchen tools to cook dinners, etc., and plenty of space. We hope to return!

Excellent vs action home

The home was very clean and comfortable. Plenty of room. Great kitchen and laundry. Two living areas. Great location convenient to everything, but also quiet. Communication with owners was excellent. I have been coming to Estes over 50 years and this is one of our favorite homes we have stayed in. We would love to stay here again.

Wonderful Estes Park weekend!

Our group of four adults, two teens and a middle-schooler loved our stay at the Hofemann's home on the Estes Park golf course! The home is indeed beautiful and spacious with lovely views. We so enjoyed the comfy furnishings and wide deck. This gem was a lot more private and secluded feeling than it looked from the photos. Yet, everything we wanted to do in Estes was within walking distance or a quick trip in the car. It made for a wonderful family weekend in the mountains.

Spacious home, great location

Our family of 7 had a great 3-night stay at this lovely property. It is a 2-min drive from the Visitor Center or Safeway. We saw elk in the backyard every afternoon, which was a treat. Communication with the owner was excellent as well.

Estes Park Accessible

What a great home in a beautiful setting just outside of the Estes hustle and bustle. We shopped and dined in Estes and walked from the home. Might not be for everyone but everything was within 1.5 miles and much of the walk was along the Fall River. The house had everything that we needed to make several meals and the evenings on the deck overlooking the golf course were really special for our family.

Best trip ever to Estes!

We absolutely loved this place. So convenient and close to downtown and grocery store! My son and husband loved the location on golf course! Very well equipped kitchen and bedding supplies. Just a couple suggestions for improvement would be a small vacuum sweeper for the rug in living room and some smaller kitchen towel/dish cloths/sponges. Other than that, it was perfect! King beds were VERY comfortable. Very nice and we will be back for sure! Thanks so much!

Tranquility in Estes Park

This is our second time renting from these owners. Check in was a breeze and we were even told we could arrive a little early because the house was ready to go. We had some minor issues that didn’t affect our stay and the owner Joyce was very responsive and quickly addressed the issues. It is obvious that she wants her guests to enjoy their stay while visiting beautiful E.P. I loved that the house had plenty of room for our family of 7 (5 adults and two children) and even had 2 king beds! The house is right off the main road of Elkhorn/Big Thompson Avenue and approximately a half to three quarters of a mile from town, which is a perfect location… The whole family enjoyed the buck and his girls coming through the back yard and even got to see two bucks “practing” before the rut officially began… Our family may just have to pick this home as our “go to” place whenever we come to Estes Park. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!

Thanksgiving Retreat

Home was in a great location! Kitchen was fully stocked, as listed including a griddle, crockpot, multiple sized pots and pans, roaster, mixers and multi-sized bowls. This was great for meals. Home was walking distance from the stores in Historic Estes but did require crossing Hwy 34. Awesome view of the mountains. We would stay again!

GREAT PLACE and LOCATION

So glad we booked this place! Beautiful views across the golf course, close to everything, layout was perfect for visiting and had enough beds/bedrooms for a fun girls weekend. Clean, had all the amenities we needed, clear instructions for Wifi TV etc. And although we had no issues it was nice to know we could reach via text or phone for a quick response. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This house is really the perfect location for a week of solitude, and or a busy week in Estes Park. It is very quiet on a golf course and yet only a half a mile from downtown Estes Park. A great home.

Lovely stay in Estes Park

We were in town to see the Rocky Mountain National Park. This property was very nicely equipped and clean. The golf course in the back is very scenic and sometimes had geese and elk to watch. The yard could use a mow though. All in all, we really liked the property.

Great Spot in Estes Park!

We had an amazing weekend staying here for our friends wedding! The home is close to town but still a bit of a walk. The property was lovely and cozy and does sleep8 but it is important to note there are only two small bathrooms - so keep that in mind if you're traveling with couples as it can be a little tight. We loved hanging out on the couches and on the deck and would definitely come back, but maybe with a group of 4 or 6.

Elk in Estes

The location was wonderful- the Elk made it spectacular. The only downside was how poorly the rental was stocked- the worst we have ever had. Ice maker on fridge was broken and they had ice trays but weren’t filled - tiny bar of soap in each bathroom and no soap dish. Not what we were expecting- hope the owners step it up.

About the host

Hosted by Paul and Joyce Hofemann

Host profile image
Paul and Joyce were married in 1997 and have three children, twin girls and a son. After living in California and New York we moved to Austin, Texas in 2007. Recently we visited Colorado to escape the Texas summer heat and fell in love with Estes Park. We decided to purchase a second home in this beautiful area for our personal getaway as well as offer it as short term vacation rental for others who want to enjoy the Rocky Mountains.

Why they chose this property

Walking distance to downtown restaurants, few hundred yards from Thompson River for fly fishing, large deck overlooking golf course lot that is frequented by large elk during rut season.

What makes this property unique

Parking downtown is nearly impossible during peak summer months. Our property is within walking distance of downtown while still in a quiet, natural setting of a golf course. Elk frequently pass thru our backyard to get to their favorite meeting spots on this golf course.
