Eldondale - Mountain Views, Wildlife, Hot Tub -
A stunning cabin located near just minutes away from Estes Park and several amazing hiking, I could not be happier with my stay here. We celebrated a bachelor party here and it was perfect for all of our needs. The house was gorgeous and spacious, the views were breathtaking, and the ease of access and parking make this an easy one to recommend.

Rob’s airbnb was clean, looked just like the pictures, and was perfect for our group of 5. Close to downtown in a great neighborhood. the fenced in backyard was perfect for our dog. Would highly recommend staying here.

Charming Idaho Springs 3 Bedroom home, sleeps 7.
We really enjoyed our stay. The home was clean and had every amenity we needed during our stay. The location is a 5 minute walk to downtown Idaho Springs, which has a good variety of restaurants. It's centrally located between Denver and ski resorts (about 30 minutes from each).

NoWhere Special Homestead. Private Basement w/bath
We had a great stay at Adam’s place. He was very friendly and has a beautiful guest space in his home. The backyard was very peaceful and we enjoyed sitting out there in the evening. I’d definitely recommend Adam’s place for your stay!

"Le Gem" - Buhos Gemelos - Twin Owls #3448
We came for Bigfoot Days with our friends (4 adults and 4 kids) and had a wonderful stay. The location is unbeatable just up the hill from the festival and across from the open space with walking trails. The cabin was cozy, has great natural light, and the amenities were as advertised. Highly recommend. Thanks James and Renee for a great stay.

Guests Love Stellar Location in Central Park!
Peggy is a gracious host- accommodations and location are both great.

North Boulder Family Home
We had an unexpected forced vacation due to Water damage in our home, our family had to move out while the floors were being redone. Heather and Chip’s North. Boulder location is walking distance to the foothills where you can hike, ride bikes, and walk to coffee shops and restaurants. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and clean. Their home is spacious and loaded with high end amenities with plenty of indoor and outdoor space. It ended up being the best scenario for our family! We’re so glad it worked out and highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a North Boulder getaway!

Mountain Cabin, Riverfront and Valley Views
One of the cleanest Airbnb’s we have stayed in! Everything was fantastic, and the place was close enough to town to drive in and eat or shop, but far enough away to be peaceful and serene.

The Mangy Moose
Beautiful and clean mountain home! Located far enough to be secluded, but still a reasonable drive into town. The hot tub and fireplace were a definite plus! Tami gave great directions to get to the home and very helpful tips on what to do/bring before getting into the mountains. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and only wish we could have been there longer!

James Cabins #4 w/Hot Tub, 2 Bdrms No Cleaning Fee
We enjoyed staying at the cabin. Location is great! Right next to the downtown shops and restaurants. I would recommend this cabin to others wanting to stay in the Grand Lake area.

Hide-A-Way River Cabin w/Screened-in Porch
Nice complex of cabins overlooking the river with the great view mountains. Cabin has everything we needed. It’s an older cabin but in great condition.

Charming Mountain Cabin
We loved this cabin! On a clear day the view is amazing! The space was better than I thought. A great option for big groups. Huge kitchen counter space, two separate gathering areas, and a handy double sink situation in the upstairs bathroom. The upstairs bathtub was really fun. I liked the woodburning fireplaces. Very cool. Additionally there were electric ones scattered throughout so people could customize the heating of their own rooms. Finally the game room was unique. Overall the feel was very woodsy but it had all the luxuries of home. We were impressed.

Private 2-bedroom cabin with indoor fireplace
Whitney's place is a wonderful option if you are looking to stay in Idaho Springs. The cabin itself is really nice and very comfortable - everything is super new and clean and good quality. It's also a super short drive into town, but feels remote. There is not a ton of outdoor space as you are kind of right off the road, but the back patio area is enclosed and a nice place for dogs. Whitney is very quick to respond to any questions you may have. I definitely recommend her place and would love to stay there again!

The Fisherman's Cabin @ Pine Haven Resort
George and Joan were fantastic hosts, and the cabin itself was perfect. Also loved the common areas like the fire pit and hot tub. Easy 5 stars.

Lakefront Cozy Cabin in the Mountains !!
We've stayed at this place more than once, it is extremely cozy with lovely views and great nature just outside the door. Our family enjoys just relaxing and playing board games and sitting by the fire here.

4BR Longmont Escape | Cold Plunge + Sauna + Pets
Another excellent stay in Longmont. It’s my favorite town to stay in when visiting Colorado as it’s peaceful and within an hour or so drive of really anything you could want to do! Judy’s place was clean and quiet. Loved the back yard!

Pet-Friendly Suite w/ Fenced Garden, HotTub, Sauna
Truly an amazing air bnb. The hot tub and the dry sauna really made it a 5 star experience. Their local recommendations were spot on; we hiked Roxborough state park about 40 min based on their guide book and it was magical. Perfect spot for a couple or family

Hot tub, *Pets*, Fireplace, Private, 15 Min -> DT
This place was a fantastic find that met all of our needs for the week. The walk-up basement was furnished just as described and shown in the pictures. The bed was comfortable and the huge bathroom was really nice. We cooked every night and the kitchen had everything we needed. The backyard space was wonderful for our little chihuahua! I highly recommend this place!!

Great spot. Brought my family here. Close enough to downtown but also close to highway

Bear Creek TWO by Notable Vacation Rentals
Great location, both from downtown Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. There’s a great restaurant right next door and. Safeway grocery just down the road. Breathtaking views with a river running through the backyard. Occasionally elk would meander through!

Relaxing 2BR Cabin Near RMNP + Hot Tub
Very close to Rocky Mountain National Park Pat’s cabin has two large rooms and two full baths and fully appointed kitchen. Also a stones throw from Estes Park Lake you can see elk up close with full views of the Rocky Mountains in the background. Pat and company were quick to fix a connection problem with the internet/tv within minutes of arriving so we could catch the Nuggets game. Thanks again Pat we had a great active stay.

Your guide to Estes Park
All About Estes Park
Estes Park is a beautiful mountain getaway, nestled in the foothills of northwestern Colorado near Rocky Mountain National Park, where you can spot elk regularly wandering the streets. It’s a scenic hub for many visitors wanting to explore the park. The small town, which is just under seven square miles, is home to over 6,000 residents, and great local restaurants and breweries.
This area has cultural roots dating back to the Arapaho and Sioux tribes, the original custodians of this land. Pioneers, hunters, and inventors eventually followed, and many of the buildings they erected are still standing as historical markers to this past.
The natural landscape surrounding Estes Park is known for its lush hiking trails, crystal-clear lakes, and phenomenal stargazing. If you pass through in the wintertime, you’ll find the locals skiing, snowshoeing, or staying in a cozy Estes Park condo rental.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Estes Park
If you’re looking for water sports, the best time to visit Estes Park is from June to September. This is prime time to go whitewater rafting or take a boat out on the water as the weather is mild and dry. Other summer activities include hiking, biking, and climbing.
Winter in the Rocky Mountains is extraordinary but the rural roads are not for the faint of heart. You can still visit the Rocky Mountains during winter, but be prepared to drive on snowy, winding mountain roads that can be tricky to navigate. While average winter temperatures are below freezing, this is also the perfect climate to go snowboarding, skiing, and snowshoeing. Regardless of which season you visit, there’s a home rental in Estes Park, Colorado waiting for you.
Top things to do in Estes Park
Estes Park Riverwalk
This mile-long, tree-lined path runs along the Big Thompson River on the backside of Elkhorn Avenue, downtown’s main street. Start from Estes Park Visitor Center and discover mom-and-pop shops, patio bars, and local coffee shops which offer direct access from the trail. As you walk, try to spot the 12 bronze statues of pikas (cute mountain-dwelling animals) which are part of a local scavenger hunt.
Cycling
Take an open-air ride through the famous Rocky Mountain National Park with experienced mountain cyclists as your guide. The tours can last anywhere from three to eight hours, depending on your experience level. Book a tour in advance with a local outfitter, who can provide the bicycle, helmet, water, and snacks.
Park Theater
Built in 1913, this theater is one of the oldest operating motion picture theaters in the country. Watch everything from blockbuster films to documentaries here while fueling up on sandwiches and beer from the snack bar. Fun fact: the theatre has an 80-foot neon sign on the front of the building which required the city’s special permission to use.
