(4017) ...and laptop friendly separate work spaces, quiet and clean atmosphere!

We offer 4 individual rooms or a "Family Style B&B", offering a family the comforts of home and the choice of breakfast prepared by the Innkeeper. Please contact us for more details.

This High End Custom Log, Stucco and Stone Home was designed with a true "Rocky Mountain" log interior, to enjoy the panoramic views of Lake Estes and the surrounding mountains including Long's Peak. It's a perfect place to put your feet up, contemplate your next hike, watch the eagles fly over the lake, listen to the snow fall or wake to the Elk slumbering in the yard. The completely stocked gourmet kitchen is the perfect place to whip up an incredible meal, or prep for the grill. We also offer fully prepared organic meals for you to have available to cook. When dinner is ready you have the choice to dine on 1 of 7 outdoor areas, including a gazebo overlooking private spring feed lily ponds surrounded by pines and aspen. A night under the stars beside a gas fire pit with a view of the lake or a game of volleyball under a full moon
would entice everyone with a romantic heart.

This peaceful and spacious 4000 sq ft home includes 5 bedrooms, Massage therapist on site(with advanced booking), sleeper sofa and 3.5 baths, the Master bath includes a steam shower. Bristol Mountain feels like a home away from home!

The main level includes 3 living areas with 2 gas fireplaces, set up perfectly to play games or chat! Additionally, there is a tranquil music/sun room for a hot cup of coffee or tea in the morning where you may spot Kayakers on the still calm water of the early morning. The Yamaha studio piano is just waiting for the creative musician. A library offering a huge variety of choices for quiet reading. An expansive dining area can seat 10-12 comfortably, a fully equipped gourmet stainless steel kitchen, breakfast bar that seats three and a full size laundry with 1/2 bath. The master bedroom/bath includes a private deck, an en-suite, Air Masseur tub and a Steam Shower. Two creatively decorated bedrooms and shared bath.

The lower level includes 2 adjacent bedrooms, a queen sleeper sofa in the media room alcove and a three quarter bathroom. The family/media room has a comfy couch, overstuffed chairs, a gas fireplace and a Smart TV/DVD (Apple and Android compatible) to relax and enjoy your favorite movies.. mmm the popcorn smells good!

The supreme location, allows you to walk to town and the array of fun activities in town. You can walk to the golf course or follow the bike/walking path around Lake Estes. We are within walking distance to the marina and a playground at the lake as well. Fisherman love throwing in a line or two. A short 10 minute drive brings you into Rocky Mountain National Park where you can hike, picnic, or enjoy the wildlife. You may see Elk, Deer, Eagles, Bear and other various wildlife right outside your bedroom window. An amazing way to wake up and enjoy my home in Estes Park!

A great place to hold retreats or reunions for; staff, friends, men, women or college mates and creative specialty classes. Additionally, we have connective links for Micro Wedding options.

Mountain holiday getaway
We rented this property for our family to use over the holidays. Gail was extremely helpful and responsive throughout the process. The house is beautifully furnished and was very roomy and comfortable for three couples. The kitchen is one of the most well equipped that we’ve ever had. The location was excellent - close to the downtown of Estes Park, yet featuring great views of the mountains and the lake.

This was an absolutely perfect place to hold our family reunion. The property is comfortable, inviting and easily accommodated us, our children, and grandchildren. What a fun time was had by all!

About the host

Hosted by Gail McLain

Host profile image
Originally from Lancaster County, PA. However, Estes Park has been our home for the last 45 years. I grew up in a wonderful family of artists and musicians, who imprinted my love for creativity. I've been involved in high school youth and young career groups, young career groups, ministry in Argentina and South Africa. I treasure people of all ages, especially seniors and youth... thus my involvement with senior home care: Dementia/ Alzheimer, Hospice, and those with special needs at our local school.

The description of the Danish term; "hygge' describes my desire to create a place of respite and peace! I have a passion to see people set free from the stressors of life, reconnect to the desires of their hearts and deepen relationships with their family & friends.

Come share my home!

p.s. "hygge" ...creating a warm atmosphere and enjoying the good things in life with good people. The warm glow of candlelight is "hygge"!





Why they chose this property

The property offers both a quiet respite, but also fun activities within walking distance.
The eastern morning sun filters into the music room for a delightful time of tea as you view the lake, often with kayaks catching the calm waters. From the beautiful view of Lake Estes to spring feed lily ponds, to a lovely golden aspen grove in the fall, to playing a game of volleyball under a full moon, watching the stars by the fire pit, to sitting by a warm cozy fire during a quiet snow fall with a mug of hot mulled cider in hand all offers a delightful respite.
On the other hand, we are in walking distance to various eateries, whiskey distillery, sports venues and Estes Park's infamous downtown festivals and activities. The Rocky Mountain National Park is within 10 minutes for hiking, picnics, photography and rock climbing.
My home is a place for small corporate retreats, staff retreats, friends retreat, college roommate reunions and even wife get a ways!!!

What makes this property unique

I love the warmth my home offers...each bedroom is named after a translation of 'Beloved'... from Hebrew to Yiddish. I appreciate the various living areas to play games, laugh together, quietly read or have heart to heart talks. Besides the elk and deer feel at home here, as they constantly meander thru the property!
