hello, it's nice to meet you!

Family, nature and a sense of adventure brought us to Estes Park, the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park with an abundance of year-round activities.

Sharing the incredible nature that exists around one of our country’s most beautiful National Parks has been our pleasure since 2011 when we purchased our home.

Our family of five loves the outdoors, hiking, fishing, wildlife viewing and shopping in town. We reside in Yorktown Virginia, but love to escape to the peace, tranquility and beauty of the Colorado Rockies as often as we can.

Frequently

Asked Questions

What are the general house rules?

Our home is designed to comfortably accommodate a maximum occupancy of 20 guests, and we are happy to welcome both children and infants to the property.

To maintain a high standard for all visitors, we require the primary renter to be at least 26 years of age.

Smoking allowed in driveway ONLY. No smoking near any natural areas or on decks. All debris must be disposed of properly and should not be left loose in the garbage.

the property is unfortunately wheelchair inaccessible. Lower level area would be the only area accessible for a wheelchair. No steps from the garage into the downstairs area of the home.

Additionally, while we love animals, pets are not allowed during your stay.

What time is check-in and check-out?

Check-in is at 4:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM. This gives us time to prepare the house properly between guests.

Can I check-in early or check out late?

We do our best to accommodate early check-ins or late check-outs when we can, but availability depends on our booking schedule. We'll know for sure 72 hours before your arrival. If you'd like to extend your time here, just ask—we're happy to work with you when possible.

What safety precautions and measures are in place?

We prioritize your well-being and have implemented several safety measures throughout the property to ensure a secure stay.

Our home is fully equipped with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in every bedroom, sleeping area, and living space, along with fire extinguishers conveniently located in the kitchen and outside near the fire pit and grill.

In the event of an emergency, we provide immediate access to fire, medical, and police contacts. We also clearly outline our emergency exit routes, which include two accessible doors on the lower level and three on the upper level.

For added security, the property is equipped with a deadbolt lock and comprehensive exterior lighting.

Additionally, we utilize outdoor cameras, which monitor the driveway, yard, and street for snowplowing and trash maintenanc, as well as a noise monitor to ensure a safe and peaceful environment for all our guests.

We are committed to maintaining a clean and healthy environment through our enhanced cleaning practices. This includes the use of common surface disinfectants, thorough cleaning of all high-touch areas, and the use of specialized cleaning products. To ensure the home is fresh and sanitized for your arrival, we also make it a priority to air out the home by opening doors and windows between stays.

Can I host an event or celebration at your home?

Small, low-key celebrations with your group are fine: birthday dinners, anniversary toasts, that sort of thing. We typically don't allow large parties, events, or outside guests beyond your booking party. If you're planning something specific, just run it by us and we'll go from there!

Is it better to book direct?

Absolutely. We prefer direct bookings because it lets us get to know our guests. Plus, you save on booking fees. Reach out anytime to get started!

“This place was amazing!!!”

This place was amazing!!! We celebrated a birthday with friends and family here and the space was perfection. Julie had absolutely everything you could think of in the kitchen (crock pots, blenders, sheet pans, bowls, literally everything). The hot tub was massive and the game room with basketball/air hockey/foosball/shuffleboard was a BLAST (she also provided all of the necessary balls/pucks etc to use the game room. This place is absolutely worth every penny and we will be booking here for our next event!!

“ I’ll be dreaming of this home and our amazing stay for awhile!”

This home was absolutely perfect for a place to stay during our private wedding with our closest friends and families to all stay together but still have their own space. The house is HUGE with so many areas to relax and explore. I can’t rave enough about this spot, we will be back! We did not want to leave and I’ll be dreaming of this home and our amazing stay for awhile!

“This home is incredible. There is something for everyone.”

This home is incredible. There is something for everyone. The location is perfect. Close to the park for hiking, but also amazing views from the house if you have people who don’t want to hike. There is also a nice selection of restaurants within a short driving distance. Julie is an excellent host! We didn’t encounter any issues and she was very quick to respond to any questions.

We have been staying in Estes for years and this is the best place ever!

We have been staying in Estes for years and this is the best place ever! Perfect for multi generational or multiple families. The kids had so much fun in the game room. My 80 year old mom bested some of them in basketball. Everyone had their own rooms which was nice. Even the semi sullen teens cheerfully gathered around the pool table in the main area. The best feature of all for the grownups is the deck with fire pit and unbelievable views of Long’s and RMNP, the ultimate spot for sunset happy hour. We can’t wait to come back.

“So much bonding time -- exactly what our family was looking for!”

Your house filled our large family perfectly! There was so much to do there we didn't even need to leave. The kitchen was fully stocked allowing us to to have all our meals at the house. So much bonding time -- exactly what our family was looking for! The kids enjoyed the moose, elk and deer we were able to see IN YOUR DRIVEWAY! The quiet night-time sky was so relaxing! We have zero complaints. All in all a wonderful, fun time was had by everyone!
