Onward!

Enjoy my peaceful home near the Big Thompson River, just a short walk from Rocky Mountain National Park. You'll have access to 12 acres of shared wooded grounds, a playground and picnic area, plus a quarter-mile of private river frontage that is part of our neighborhood HOA.

The Aspen Tree Cabin is light, bright, and spacious, with vaulted ceilings and lots of windows to enjoy the views. The Big Thompson River is just fifty yards away. There are great mountain views right off the deck, where you can begin your mornings with coffee as you plan your hikes and watch the hummingbirds. If you'd like, you can eve walk along the river near the house straight into Rocky Mountain National Park. It's an easy flat hike to Moraine Park, one of the prime wildlife viewing areas in the national park.

If you fish, you'll enjoy the quarter-mile of private river frontage just steps away. (We don't provide equipment, but we can point you to the right place in town to rent it.) Cook up your trout on the grill and dine outside at the picnic table on the deck. The kitchen has bakeware, pots and pans, and a full complement of utensils. If you don't feel like cooking, downtown Estes Park is only 2.5 miles away, and our favorite restaurants -- Bird and Jim and the iconic Rock Inn Mountain Tavern, are both within 1.5 miles.

On the main level you'll find a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, and a comfortable living room where you can watch TV or enjoy a fire in the moss rock fireplace. The main floor also features a bedroom and bathroom, plus a laundry facility you're free to use.

BEDROOMS

Bedroom 1 on the main floor features a king bed and attached full bathroom.

Bedroom 2 on the second floor features vaulted ceilings, a queen bed, and great views of Eagle Cilff Mountain. It's connected to Bedroom 3 with an attached bathroom.

Bedroom 3, also on the second floor, has a queen and two single beds. The trundle can sleep an adult, or it's a great option for young children not quite ready for a 'big bed.' This room has its own TV with DVD player, and features a vaulted ceiling and great views.

Guests have full access to my home, which includes the deck and grill on the deck, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room, kitchen and laundry room with washer and dryer. The garage is reserved for owner use and inaccessible to guests. Guests also have access to the HOA common areas, which include some riverfront land that you can fish from as well as a playground and picnic area.

Your main point of contact will be with my cohosts at The Wolf Rentals. They are long time Estes Park locals and you will be in great hands. Feel free to reach out and they will get back to you as soon as possible!

NOISE

Events, loud music and noises, and parties are strictly prohibited. Please be respectful of your noise level so I can maintain good relationships with my neighbors. We use a Minut noise meter, which is endorsed by AirBnB. It does not record audio, but instead monitors decibel levels, temperature and humidity. This is for the safety of guests and to protect the home. It also serves to warn us about parties and prevent noise complaints from neighbors. It is located on the ceiling in the kitchen.

ADDITIONAL & NONPAYING GUESTS

Nonpaying and non-registered guests are not allowed on property. A security camera on the outside of the building is present to prevent parties and deter nonpaying guests.

AIR CONDITIONER

Like nearly every other home in town, there’s no A/C. Thankfully mountain air blows down from the high peaks and will cool down the place quickly in the evenings if you open the windows.
