August 2024 Stay
The property was excellent and had everything that we could have needed for a perfect stay. It is a great location that allowed us to walk to the downtown area during our stay. It provided a very relaxing environment to recharge after a day of hiking in the park. I would definitely recommend this to others and plan on staying here again on future trips!

Great location and the home will have everything that you need. Just a short walk down to downtown or just hang back in the living room and look at the mountains or the deer that frequent the area. Just such a cool and comfortable place. We can’t wait to come back!

Perfect!
This house is so cute and comfortable. We didn’t cook since we were in town for a wedding, but it would’ve been easy to do so. It was super to be able to walk to the shopping area, and the patio table on the front deck was a favorite spot. Thank you for sharing your cute place!

Excellent location
Excellent location, easy walking distance to art festival, restaurants, & shops. We were able to drive to RMNP easily too. Very clean & the kitchen was well equipped The 2 downstairs bedrooms are small but adequate for a vacation rental. Downstairs bath is located away from bedrooms but it wasn’t a problem. Upstairs bedroom is large. I would stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by John and Susan Medina

Host profile image
We purchased this home in November 2015 and did a remodel to get into the short term rental market. We are Colorado natives and currently reside in Hygiene just down the hill from our Estes Park property. I've been going to Estes Park and RMNP for decades and never tire of it's beauty. You can explore endlessly and see new things every time.

Why they chose this property

I've always dreamed of owning a mountain property in beautiful Colorado. Estes Park is one of my most favorite mountain towns and it's so close to the urban corridor. Just a short drive to my home town of Boulder Colorado. It's also so close to my favorite mountain drive Trail Ridge road, which takes you to grand lake another stunning mountain town.

What makes this property unique

The Owls Nest has the best location in Estes Park. One can literally walk to dinner, festivals , and shopping. The views and wildlife are also amazing. After hiking one day I came home and had 8 deer inside my front picket fence. Just awesome. The elk meandering all through the neighborhood and Estes Park is also amazing. I never tire of watching them
