About the host
Hosted by Jay Vetter
We retired to Estes Park in 2013 after living in Nebraska for 40 years.
Why they chose this property
The property includes a home in which we live and garage with a loft apartment above it in addition to the cottage. We bought it as our retirement home because of its location and great mountain views. We have vacationed here regularly since 1970 and have always wanted to spend more time here.
What makes this property unique
We appreciate that we have extra space for family to visit and are also able to generate a little extra income while welcoming guests who love this area as much as we do.
