About this property

On the river...fish from the porch! Close to RMNP.....5 star reviews

Sleep to the sound of the Big Thompson River just outside your door!





The CASA RIO VISTA is a beautifully appointed and decorated 3 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath home is located right on the Big Thompson River in a quiet private, gated community, Blue Spruce Village. The Big Thompson runs just a few feet away from the back deck. Enjoy your morning coffee or happy hour drinks listening to the rushing river from your wrap around, spacious deck. Open the windows and hear the river all day and night! We stock the river with rainbow trout every 2 weeks around late June to late Aug.

The master bedroom has a king size bed, a bay window overlooking the river and a recently renovated bath. The second master has its own bath and a queen size bed. The third bedroom (a new addition to the home)can be a children's retreat....a built in bunk bed...queen on bottom and XL twin on top. This bedroom also has its own bath. Bedrooms are all upstairs. The downstairs leather sofa opens to a queen size bed.

This home has it all. The kitchen is fully equipped with top quality dishware, cookware and utensils. Outside you'll find a Weber gas grill. The living area has a TV/DVR/stereo, DVD library and games. Our home also has WIFI internet access.

Blue Spruce Village is approximately 5 minutes outside Estes Park and two miles from the entrance to the specular Rocky Mountain National Park. Only one quarter mile from the original entrance to the park, you can walk to a park trail that leads to beautiful Moraine Park. You won't be disappointed!

Here are former guest comments:

'We had such a wonderful time here at Casa Rio Vista! Thanks for such a beautifully decorated and comfortable place for us to spend our vacation. Our kids were calling it 'home' after our first night.' G.S., McKinney Texas

'Most of all, your beautiful home made our 15 hour drive so worth it. We definately plan on coming again and recommending your home for a guaranteed pleasurable stay.' D. G., Ft Worth, Texas

'Thank you for such lovely accommodations. Our windows and doors were always open to hear the rushing waters.' J.W., Omaha Neb.

'What a magical retreat you have here! We still can't get over the fact that just outside the back door is such a wild, beautiful piece of nature in the river. We have spent countless hours sitting on the porch gazing at it, listening to it from our bedrooms and fishing in it (Chloe caught a trout!). It's an amazement we can't get over.' T.S., Austin, Texas

Wonderful Family Getaway!!!
My family and I stay 5 night. We loved sitting out by the river, very relaxing. Having breakfast one morning we had deer standing right outside the window. Great location for entering the city or park. Would recommend this property.

Comfortable home. Great location. Loved being on the river! Our only disappointment was that even though we were there for 3 weeks this year, we were not able to book for next year while we were still staying there as we were told we should be able to do.

A River Runs Through It!!!
Our SECOND time here, and great again!!! Very clean, well- equipped property in a beautiful and quiet area. LOVED sitting on the porch, watching and listening to the river moving by right outside our door, enjoying coffee in the morning and wine with appetizers in the evening- followed by the gentle murmur of the water creating very restful sleep!. It was SO enjoyable- that we changed our plans to go out for dinner a few nights, and had EVERY evening here instead!!! Each bedroom had its own full bath, and while it was only the two of us, it would be great for 3 couples, or a family with kids.

Year 6 was great!
Walking in the door was like coming home. The new Weber BBQ was a nice addition. Back deck and patio needed cleaning, but the river and inside was fantastic.

Third time is a charm!
This beautiful place is made for getting re-set and re-aligned! We have returned for the third year. Much to our delight, the property has returned to its previous standard of excellence which we greatly appreciated! To us this is quintessential Colorado! We look forward to being back in 2024!
