About this house rental

From one of our guests (Somerset, England):
'We spent a fantastic week in this home. The house itself is excellent in terms of location, setting, decor and equipment with many thoughtful touches that added to the overall quality of our stay. The bedrooms are spacious, the den is excellent for children wanting their own space and the lounge and dining room make for a relaxed setting for a holiday. The house setting is picturesque whilst it is well located in relation to Estes Park...I wholeheartedly commend this home to anyone wishing to visit Colorado.'

The AlpineHaus is situated in the quiet, gated Blue Spruce Village Victorian community that has the Big Thompson River running through it and is ¼ mile outside the Estes Park city limits. The Rocky Mountain National Park Beaver Meadows Visitor Center and Park Headquarters are two miles from our vacation home and it is just a five minute drive to downtown Estes. The AlpineHaus is only ¼ mile from the original early 1900's entrance to the Park and a trailhead that leads to the Bear Lake/Moraine Park area, on the edge of the YMCA of the Rockies Conference and Activity Center.

Our three-level townhome has 2200 square feet of living space. The main level offers a greatroom with a stone fireplace (gas burning) and opens to a deck with a picnic table and gas grill. Oak wainscoting and large windows adorn the greatroom and separate dining area with a large dining table. The fully-equipped kitchen and dining area have wood floors adding to the warmth and charm of this beautiful home. The main level greatroom also has a TV. Elk, an occasional bear and other wildlife often frequent our neighborhood.

The upper level has three large bedrooms and a loft area with a game/puzzle table. The primary bedroom has a king-size pine log bed and furnishings with a large bay window and jetted whirlpool tub in its private bathroom. The second bedroom also has a pine log queen bed and furnishings, two dormered windows and a private entrance to the second full bath (which also opens to the loft/hall area to share with the third bedroom). The third bedroom has a queen sized bed and a twin sized bed and dormered windows - perfect for a third couple or children. Our property is to the Larimer County Short-Term Rental regulations and our property is allowed a maximum of 8 guests (there are beds for 7 individuals).

The walkout lower level has a recreation room great for kids young and old with a TV, a video game (arcade sized - no quarters needed), and patio area.

Walk fifty yards to the Big Thompson River for fly-fishing and relaxation. While our home is not directly on the river, the river runs through our private community and all owners and guests have access to common areas with picnic tables and seating areas.

Our property has high speed WiFi - bring your laptop with wireless card if you need to check in at work occasionally or just want to surf the Net for various events going on in Estes and Rocky Mountain National Park while on vacation. Or perhaps you'll want to check the weather forecast prior to departing for a climb up Long's Peak!

The following are just a few more of the comments from our guest registry:
“It was great to come ‘home’ to this beautiful home each day. We travel the mountains every summer, and this is the best place we have ever stayed at!”

“One of the nicest places we have ever stayed in! You have a lovely home.”

'What a surprise to walk in your beautiful home!! Booking it on the internet was a bit scary but as soon as the door was opened, you could feel the warmth! A gorgeous setting and close to shopping, hiking and sightseeing. Can't wait to come back again!'

“We had a lot of wildlife here with a bear the first morning, deer and a fawn, beautiful birds…”

**Sorry, pets are not allowed and this is a no smoking residence**

This home was absolutely fabulous. We had so much room for everyone to move around and have their own space. But also areas we could all hang out. This house will be my go to place everytime. The host made sure everything was perfect.

We stayed here for a much-longed-for and long-delayed writing retreat. The house and neighborhood were excellent for what we needed--plenty of elbow room: the master bedroom large enough for one of us to set up her work there; the desk in the upstairs loft perfect for writer #2 (who occasionally overflowed into the living room--big coffee table, comfy sofa, good natural light); writer #3 set up camp on the lower level. Everything was clean, kitchen well-appointed and well-designed; really appreciated the good supply of TP and paper towels; neighbors were friendly; quiet neighborhood, easy to wander about. Wi-fi worked well, good speed, no outages, etc. (important for us!). Good soundproofing, too. Lovely to be near the river. I think we found where the trailhead near the old park entrance is, but it is gated, didn't look like it was accessible by public, but we didn't go to the gate itself to see if it was just a "no motor vehicles" or a "no trespassing"; drove over to Lily Lake for a walk instead. (Everything else about the property was as described.) A major advantage for us is that the house is far enough from town so that we're not distracted (or tempted to goof off) but close enough so that when we needed something (e.g., from grocery-- Country Market is excellent) or just a break and wanted to wander around town a bit, we can. Oh, and bird-watching: lots right there; magpie nesting in the tree beside the big bay window and patio; lots of others (one of our group is an avid birder - she knows all the names, I just know magpie!) -- and elk of course. We're already plotting a strategy for our return ;)
