About this house rental

Sleep to the sound of the Big Thompson River just outside your door!

The CASA RIO VISTA is a beautifully appointed and decorated 3 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath home is located right on the Big Thompson River in a quiet private, gated community, Blue Spruce Village. The Big Thompson runs just a few feet away from the back deck. Enjoy your morning coffee or happy hour drinks listening to the rushing river from your wrap around, spacious deck. Open the windows and hear the river all day and night! We stock the river with rainbow trout every 2 weeks around late June to late Aug.

The master bedroom has a king size bed, a bay window overlooking the river and a recently renovated bath. The second master has its own bath and a queen size bed. The third bedroom (a new addition to the home)can be a children's retreat....a built in bunk bed...queen on bottom and XL twin on top. This bedroom also has its own bath. Bedrooms are all upstairs. The downstairs leather sofa opens to a queen size bed.

This home has it all. The kitchen is fully equipped with top quality dishware, cookware and utensils. Outside you'll find a Weber gas grill. The living area has a TV/DVR/stereo, DVD library and games. Our home also has WIFI internet access.

Blue Spruce Village is approximately 5 minutes outside Estes Park and two miles from the entrance to the specular Rocky Mountain National Park. Only one quarter mile from the original entrance to the park, you can walk to a park trail that leads to beautiful Moraine Park. You won't be disappointed!

This is a short-term rental with a maximum night stay of 29 nights. You may not book more than 29 nights.

Here are former guest comments:

'We had such a wonderful time here at Casa Rio Vista! Thanks for such a beautifully decorated and comfortable place for us to spend our vacation. Our kids were calling it 'home' after our first night.' G.S., McKinney Texas

'Most of all, your beautiful home made our 15 hour drive so worth it. We definately plan on coming again and recommending your home for a guaranteed pleasurable stay.' D. G., Ft Worth, Texas

'Thank you for such lovely accommodations. Our windows and doors were always open to hear the rushing waters.' J.W., Omaha Neb.

'What a magical retreat you have here! We still can't get over the fact that just outside the back door is such a wild, beautiful piece of nature in the river. We have spent countless hours sitting on the porch gazing at it, listening to it from our bedrooms and fishing in it (Chloe caught a trout!). It's an amazement we can't get over.' T.S., Austin, Texas

Thai was a lovely home right on the Bug Thompson River. We hiked every day at RMNP. The trail heads were usually around 30 minutes away. It was so peaceful and relaxing sitting in the chairs right by the river. Whenever we go back to RMNP to hike we would love to stay here again. The location was wonderful and there is a Country Market very close where we got some food supplies. Loved this home!

Loved the location on the river and the very comfortable seating on the back porch. Property was close to a Rocky Mountain National Park entrance. The information book was very well done - lots of useful information about the area in an easy-to-use format. Kitchen was very well equipped, and we really appreciated being supplied with some spices and other cooking oils. All in all, we had a fabulous time and look forward to a return visit.

Being so close to the river is unbeatable. The patio has very comfortable, outdoor furniture which invites you to sit, watch and listen to the river. The patio also includes a grill which we used often. Plenty of windows allow for the river sound and breezes to flow through the rental (although some windows wouldn't stay up, most of the windows had no issues). The rental is spacious for a family with plenty of amenities, comfortable furniture inside and a well equipped kitchen. The location is perfect, located close enough to town for easy visits, but far away enough to have early morning visitors (see photo from patio). The location is also close to the entrance to RMNP. This was the second time my family has stayed at this location. Typically, we like to explore new places so returning to the same place says it all --- we also plan to return again!

The home is located near a major street. The street noice made it uncomfortable. The mattress in the primary bedroom needs to be replaced, very worn.
