Special notes: - This home does not have AC but has fans in all rooms. Most homes in Estes don't have AC as it's normally not needed.
- If you plan to come in the winter or spring months a 4 wheel drive is a must. Although the drive to the Peppermint Hut is not difficult the driveway is a bit steep and with snowfall would be difficult for a non-4wheel drive to go up.
- All three bedrooms are located upstairs- please consider this if stairs are an issue for anyone in your group
- No loud parties or events. No pets.
- No smoking or vaping inside or outside-this is a wilderness area and we take fire safety very seriously

this place was absolutely beautiful, if you want a quiet, secluded experience with a fantastic view of the mountains, this is it. honestly have 0 complaints!!
This is one of the very best properties we have ever stayed in. Location was perfect for us, near enough to Estes park to easily get to shopping, restaurants, and shopping, but quiet and private. Very clean, cleverly decorated, great kitchen, and stunning view of Long’s Peak and Rocky Mountain national park.
Absolutely STUNNING! From the cabin to the views! Super clean as well. Felt like HOME! Many things nearby as well. Host was super nice and showed so much hospitality, and got back to me fast in times I had questions. I would most definitely stay here again!
Very clean and comfortable with fantastic views. Saw wildlife everyday and convenient to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. Would stay again.
Wow, truly a fabulous stay! The house is incredible -- beautiful and comfortable, with gorgeous views of the mountains oustside and everything you need inside to feel at home. And Leah went above and beyond to make our stay great, including accommodating a special request about allergy sensitivities, which we really appreciated. If you are looking to stay in Estes Park and this VRBO is a available, consider yourself lucky and book it now!
Clean and had everything we needed. The deck is a great place to have morning coffee and look for birds and wildlife. Leah was outstanding with her communication!
Just a really great place to stay for a family vacation! We booked our next trip before we even left. The house has everything you need, beautiful views, quiet but convenient location. Just great all around!
House was beautiful, peaceful, with amazing views. The location was perfect... lots of wonderful hiking trails close by. Leah was great for communication as well. Would stay here again... highly recommended!
This house was one of the best houses we’ve ever stayed at. We have a baby who is crawling and the house was so clean we felt comfortable letting her crawl around. It was also the most stocked house we’ve stayed at, with spices, toiletries, laundry detergent etc. which just made it feel like we didn’t really have to pack so much! The view was phenomenal, the pictures don’t really even show how beautiful it was. We would definitely stay here again if we are ever back in the Estes Park area!
It was wonderful. The house had everything we needed, especially the kitchen. It is so nice to be able to cook and have a fully functional kitchen to enjoy. The views of Longs Peak were amazing. We loved the back desk, the spacious first floor and the foosball and ping pong table. We will be back. Leah was also extremely responsive when we needed something.
Your search ends here. The property is within close proximity to Safeway, amazing restaurants, and RMNP, and yet, it is still secluded. Amazing views and the living room couch reclines which is a necessity after a long day of hiking. We will be back!
Great property. Ideal location for those who choose a quiet home. Nice view, ample space. Enter action with property manger 5 star.
