The space
Thanks for checking out our family home! I hope you love it as much as we do. It's an updated 3BR on the southeast edge of the Estes Valley, with commanding views of Kruger Rock and Twin Sisters Peak. Both turn purple and orange during summer sunsets -- an amazing sight!
Dozens of horses roam freely in the fields of nearby Cheley Camp (walkable via a paved multi-use path), and a few blocks away is a dirt road leading to the incredible Forest Service trail network off of USFS 119. Up there you'll find hiking trails leading into Homestead Meadows, with old historic and deserted cabins dating back a hundred years or more.
Our home is super close to thousands of square miles of open space and public land, so all the wildlife will likely be roaming around when you're on the deck enjoying the views.
Our home features an upper floor with three bedrooms and two bathrooms; a main floor with an open kitchen/dining/living area; and a bottom floor with a laundry room and media room.
Our speedy 1gb fiber is the fastest available Internet in Estes.

Other things to note
NEIGHBORS & NOISE
It is super important for us to maintain a peaceful environment for our neighbors. We request that guests refrain from hosting parties or playing loud music that may disrupt their tranquility. To ensure this, we use Minut Noise Monitors that detect sound levels and alert us of any disturbances.
SMOKING AND FIRES
To minimize the risk of fire, smoking is prohibited on the premises. Outdoor wood fire pits are also illegal in Estes Park's vacation homes.
AIR CONDITIONER
Our property does not feature air conditioning, but the refreshing mountain breeze that flows from the peaks cools down the place quickly in the evenings when the windows are open.
BEARS
To ensure guest safety, we urge visitors not to leave any food items in their cars as bears frequent the area and may attempt to break in.
MINUT
To maintain guest safety and protect the property, we utilize Minut noise monitors that track decibel levels, temperature, and humidity. These devices are not recording audio and are located on the kitchen ceiling to detect any party gatherings and prevent noise complaints from neighbors
