The views do not disappoint! Have stayed in multiple VRBO’s in Estes Park and this met all marks! The only thing we were confused about was the lake with a dock photo on the listing and thought it was on site. But we found other lakes to fish! It snowed during our stay so the fireplace was great to have a cozy day inside hanging with our family! The hosts were very flexible and had zero issues with me adding a last minute guest to our group! Thank you for sharing your home with us!!

About the host

Hosted by Aaron Acela or Emma Acela

Host profile image
Our family purchased this home in Estes Park in September of 2018. My father had taken me to Colorado many times as a kid. When my dad shared the mountain experience with me for the first time I knew I would always come back. We chose Estes Park as the people here are great and the atmosphere in town is very warm and inviting. We have another rental property just down the road that we have owned for the last 20 years and had the opportunity in 2018 to purchase this one. In the spring there is lush green trees and wildflowers. Summer offers beautiful scenery and cool mountain air. Fall abounds with golden aspen and wildlife to include elk, deer, rabbit and even the occasional bear. Winters are very mild and there is even downhill skiing and snow boarding within an hours drive. We are located just five minutes to downtown Estes and 5 minutes from the south entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park and love this area.

Why they chose this property

Our family enjoys sitting on the deck and watching the clouds roll in over Longs Peak in the afternoon while our three daughters use grandpa’s binoculars searching the mountains and looking at the humming birds and scenery. The sky is so blue and the smell of pine trees in the air is relaxing while my wife enjoys a favorite book. Many evenings are spent on the deck, eating as a family. Many nights are spent talking and telling stories next to the fire in the living room and planning the next days hike around Estes or in Rocky Mountain National Park.

What makes this property unique

Breathtaking views of Longs Peak and the Continental Divide can be seen from our property. We have over 30 mature pine trees on our property with large rock-out cropping and the home sits on 1.34 acres. Deer and herds of elk visit our property frequently. Our home has easy access year round with paved road to our house and large asphalt driveway. Quiet secluded area and large moss rock fireplace in the living room are a few of the unique features of our cabin.
