Marvel your group with this glorious, open, and airy mountain home and get ready for the getaway of a lifetime! This family-friendly has it all for you to experience the Rocky Mountains like never before without giving up comfort and class. Inside, you'll be greeted by cathedral-like ceilings with enormous windows allowing the views of the mountains and wildlife to permeate this home. The large family room with sun galore boasts one sofa, one recliner, one oversized rocker, and one overstuffed chair with ottoman, which are the epitome of relaxation and comfort. The wood-burning fireplace is in charge to keep everybody warm during your stay and the flatscreen TV will keep everyone entertained no matter what. Just off the living room is the formal dining room with a rustic table for eight. A wood-burning fireplace right next to the dining table will add warmth during your dinners. The fully-equipped kitchen has every item that you need to create wonderful meals including a Keurig coffee maker with an adapter for regular coffee. Challenge your friends to a ping-pong tournament using the ping-pong table available in the garage; all you have to do is unfold it to play. Outside, the large deck offers plenty of seating to chill and relax, a picnic table and benches,a round rod iron table with four chairs, a gas grill, and your very own private hot tub. From here you can view the lake, the Town of Estes Park and Prospect Mountain. And that's not it! This charming mountain getaway allows dogs, so don't hesitate to bring the family dog with you.
What's nearby:
Sitting at 7,522 feet above sea level, this town is a favorite Colorado getaway due to its proximity to the Rocky Mountain National Park (you'll be only six and a half miles away), landmarks such as the historic Stanley Hotel, and a variety of galleries and family-friendly museums that are well worth a visit. Less than one mile away is the Estes Park 18-Hole Golf Course and if you or anyone in your group are golf enthusiasts, you'll be thrilled to know that this house offers two sets of basic golf clubs available for renters to use. This includes two bags and golf balls all located in the garage. If you're more of an outdoor person, the Lake Estes Marina is a short three-mile drive where you can find boat rentals, including kayaks and canoes and fishing, paddle, and pontoon boats. It's the perfect place to visit with your family, especially if during summer.

10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
We enjoyed our stay at the Elk Ridge Retreat. Initial access with the keypad was a bit of a challenge but we finally got it. The home was very comfortable. The back deck and hot tub was a bonus and one we used frequently. The extra toys and games for the kids were greatly appreciated. The neighborhood was nice and quite with deer, elk, and turkey wandering through. Easy access to Rocky Mountain National Park and downtown. A very good stay!
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2025
Large house very close to town and park. Great views of the mountains and a quiet neighborhood. House needs some updating with all windows that open and close. Nails on deck need to be replaced so they don’t stick up and cause cuts. Otherwise large and spacious for an enjoyable stay for a large group.
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2025
Great and accommodating house in a quiet neighborhood, but close to town. Deer, elk, wild turkeys…we had so much fun watching them move through the yard. We will likely return to stay here again.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2024
Pros - excellent location, quiet & friendly neighborhood, comfortable beds, ping-pong table, nice outdoor spaces, beautiful views, towels were clean and plentiful, good sized house for a 3-bedroom, hot tub, close to town, golf, parks, lake, etc.
Cons - house very cluttered (closets, kitchen, garage, all cabinets), housekeeping did a nice job but this house needs a deep cleaning, Vacasa advertised WiFi was very slow and unreliable negatively impacting work and school for us (owner has a separate very fast WiFi network that we discovered half way through our stay, posted separately on the refrigerator), Vacasa management gave us bad info multiple times regarding trash pickup - we had to contact them 3 times during our 2 1/2 week stay to deal with it, each time with different and usually incorrect answers), family room layout not conducive to conversation or to television viewing.
Overall we loved the location and many things about the house, but the cons listed had us booking a different house for next summer.
