Estes Park Registration 20-NCD0161

Give yourself a well-deserved break from the daily grind and revel in the peace and quiet at this lovely vacation home, removed enough from life's hustle and bustle, yet close to plenty of fun activities.

Located just four miles from downtown Estes Park and three miles from Lake Estes, you can create the getaway you want, with just the right balance of leisure and quiet time or shopping, sightseeing, and outdoor fun.

This raised ranch house has a spacious interior, with high pitched ceilings in the open-concept living area and lots of windows, letting in that glorious Colorado sunshine.

Enjoy the spacious main floor with two sitting areas, both with soft, comfortable sofas and chairs. There's a wood-burning fireplace where you can gather in the evening to warm the chill of cool mountain temperatures. An Apple TV makes it easy for you to stream your Netflix account on the big screen, and includes a DVD/VCR player with a movie library. Surf the Internet with the WiFi available in this home, or choose from a selection of adult and kids' games and have a family game night at the large dining room table that seats eight.

At meal time, you and your guests will appreciate the ample seating available in this home. In addition to the dining table, there's also a smaller, round table in the newly remodeled kitchen that seats four, as well as a highchair booster for your youngest travelers. The kitchen is inviting with a slate tile floor, nice wood cabinets, and standard stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher. Cook up your favorite culinary creations and clean up with ease.

During the warmer months, spread out on the huge deck that wraps around three sides of this home and whip up a scrumptious barbecue dinner on the two-burner grill. Watch the sun start to make its descent as you sip a glass of your favorite red or microbrew. When the temperatures dip in the evening, add a layer of clothing and warm your hands with a cup of herbal tea or some warm, creamy cocoa.

All in all, this three-bedroom, two-bath vacation home accommodates up to eight guests (six adults). The master bedroom features a queen-size bed and attached bathroom with a walk-in shower. The second bedroom has a twin-over-double captain's bunk, and the third bedroom has a queen-size bed. There's also a futon in the den/study for additional sleeping space. With the common full bath, your group will have plenty of room for morning rituals and evening bath times. And there is a brand new washer and dryer in the basement for your added convenience.

Downtown Estes Park offers a wide selection of casual and fine dining establishments, as well as plenty of shops and other attractions. Rocky Mountain National Park is close by, offering guests an opportunity to rock climb, hike, and experience the local wildlife. And in the winter, you can go sledding at Hidden Valley. When you're ready for some adventure, visit the Lake Estes Marina for some canoeing, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, or fishing. You can even take a ride on a pontoon boat!
