Description

"This home is a special place! From the moment I first walked in until I walked out I was enthralled. It is more than just bricks and mortar. It's all about the feel, beauty, and peacefulness. Thank you for creating the specialness of Peaceful Mountain Retreat."

This house was very wonderful! The inside is a beautiful surprise! When we first drove up there was a gorgeous young buck nestled in under the deck. We really enjoyed sitting out on the deck and enjoying the view.

What a wonderful home and jumping off point to hike to the top of Old Man Mountain! The accommodations were perfect-- a home away from home for the five of us. This is a great location!

Vicki from Urbandale, Iowa writes:
Thank you for allowing us to stay in your great home! The house was perfect for our family's needs. The artwork is beautiful and everything was lovely. We have been to Estes Park many times and your home was the best!

Teri from Arlington Heights, IL writes:
Thank you for providing such a beautiful setting for our "girls getaway". We have enjoyed every moment and wish it could be longer! Six of us gathered here to commune with nature and each other. How fantastic to see all the wildlife as we sipped coffee on the deck, then head for the mountains only a short drive away. We were lucky to have perfect weather every day and a perfect place to hang our hats. We hope we can come back to enjoy again!

Susan from Ocracoke Island, North Carolina writes:
Everyday was a wonderful experience! Your home is beautiful and comfortable. I've seen elk up close, wild turkey, black squirrels, and deer. On the morning we left, our gift was seeing a bobcat right outside the back sliding glass door! You can't help but feel you are a part of nature. We have many fond memories of our Christmas in the mountains!

Our time in Estes Park was truly magical! We enjoyed many days of hiking, biking, flyfishing, rafting, and so much more. Your home was very comfortable and located in a perfect spot. There were many mornings when we were able to enjoy watching the wildlife right from the comfort of the family room--you have many visitors!
