About this property

Luxury Retreat • Mountain Views • Hot Tub

Town of Estes Park Short-Term Rental License #6038

Ann’s Chalet is a refined mountain retreat overlooking Mary’s Lake, designed for guests seeking a calm, elevated experience in Estes Park. With expansive views, a private hot tub, and thoughtfully designed interiors, the home offers a more upscale alternative to typical vacation rentals.

Tucked into a quiet residential enclave, the chalet provides a peaceful setting just minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park and downtown Estes Park.

Inside, the home is designed for both comfort and privacy. Open living spaces create an inviting environment for gathering, while well-separated bedrooms allow guests to unwind and recharge. Large windows bring in natural light and frame the surrounding mountain landscape, reinforcing a sense of space and connection to the outdoors.

Ann’s Chalet is best suited for families and small groups seeking a relaxed, high-quality mountain stay rather than a party-focused environment. The experience is intentionally calm, with clear expectations and a seamless, well-prepared arrival.

Whether your plans include hiking, wildlife viewing, or simply enjoying the views from the deck or hot tub, Ann’s Chalet offers a quiet, well-appointed home base for a memorable stay in Estes Park.

Christmas at Ann’s Chalet

We were looking for a place to gather to celebrate Christmas together and Ann’s Chalet did not disappoint! Darren and family had decorated the entire home tastefully for Christmas which made it so cozy and perfect for relaxing. Everything you can possibly need for cooking and celebrating. Plus super convenient to town and hiking. Great host and great place

Excellent location and immaculate inside.

We enjoyed our stay here very much. It was large, clean, and the kitchen was well stocked. Our only minor complaint was figuring out the thermostat, which always dropped to 55 degrees at night! Highly recommended!

Gorgeous home!

The home was beautiful and the owners were very helpful in every way possible. Wonderful location with views of Mary's Lake and the hills/mountains; close to RMNP and Estes. The home was a great size to accommodate our family of 7 and very beautifully decorated. Will definately be on our list to stay here again when we get back to that area.

RMNP Family Trip

This was the best VRBO experience I have had where the pictures and reality matched in every way! The property is immaculate and so comfortable. All of our guests commented on the comfortableness of the beds. The kitchen and bathrooms are excellently stocked and the location is very beautiful and peaceful. We saw deer, elf and wild turkeys from the property. It was a perfect home for our trip!

About the host

Hosted by Darren

Host profile image
Our connection to the Rocky Mountains goes back many years. Both of our families spent time here while we were growing up, and Estes Park quickly became a place we returned to again and again. Our first vacation together as a couple was here, followed by many more trips with our sons, building traditions and memories over time.

When the opportunity came to purchase a vacation home, Estes Park felt like the natural choice. Ann’s Chalet was created as a place to slow down, enjoy the setting, and share the kind of experience we value as guests ourselves—comfortable, well cared for, and thoughtfully managed.

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood stood out for its quiet setting, sense of space, and proximity to both Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park’s town center. It offers the feeling of being immersed in the mountains while still allowing for easy access to hiking, dining, and local attractions.

We were drawn to the balance it provides—a peaceful residential environment with expansive views, where guests can relax and enjoy the surroundings without feeling isolated. It’s a community that values calm, respect, and the natural landscape, which made it the right fit for Ann’s Chalet.

What makes this property unique

Ann’s Chalet offers a rare balance of location, setting, and privacy. The home is positioned just minutes from the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park while also being a short drive to downtown Estes Park, making it easy to enjoy both outdoor exploration and local dining and shops.

Set near Mary’s Lake, the chalet enjoys expansive views and a peaceful residential atmosphere that feels immersed in the landscape rather than surrounded by activity. Guests often appreciate being close to everything they came to experience, while still returning to a quiet, spacious setting at the end of the day.

This combination of proximity, scenery, and calm is what makes Ann’s Chalet distinctive.
