Dogs OK in this spacious family-friendly 3br, blocks from Lake Estes (STR#3003). The best tacos, breweries and margaritas are also walkable. This duplex unit is in a residential neighborhood minutes by foot from the local event center and fairground so you're close to festivals and the rodeo. The National Park is 10 minutes away.

+ Fenced in yard
+ 600 Mbps Internet for staycations, washer/dryer, equipped kitchen, sleeps 8.

Perfect for experiencing our super fun town and gorgeous countryside.

First, some house rules:

+ This is a duplex in a neighborhood WITH NEIGHBORS; quiet hours 9pm-8am

+ Cleaning is super expensive here and I want guests to pay as little as possible. The cleaners offered a deal to keep the rates in the lowest third of homes this size, and I pass the savings on to you! I ask guests to pay it forward by starting the dishwasher and a load of towels in the washer. It takes five minutes but saves the cleaners an hour, which saves you money!

+ 4pm or later checkin; 10am or earlier checkout. We can't make exceptions because they are not insured by AirBnB.

+ No smoking, fire pits or parties

+ 2 dogs max w/ $125 pet fee

Onward!

Thanks for checking out the east apartment in my newly remodeled duplex, perfectly situated near downtown so you can explore great restaurants, breweries and taco joints after you've hiked, skied or climbed all over Rocky Mountain National Park, just 10 minutes away. Lake Estes is a couple blocks away, great for evening strolls as the sun sets.

You will love its funky, eclectic, vintage feel. I recently renovated nearly every surface, resulting in:

+ New paint and flooring throughout
+ Totally new bathroom (shower enclosure, flooring, vanity, toilet)
+ Updated kitchen with many new appliances
+ Fun lighting and eclectic accents throughout
+ A large smart TV with lots of streaming options,
+ Super fast WiFi with no dead zones

BEDROOMS

My home offers 3 bedrooms, plus sleeping for two more on a living room sofa bed. Note that the sofa bed is an off size, somewhere close to the size of a full bed.

Bedroom 1 - A comfortable king-size mattress will ensure a good night sleep after a long day of hiking. Attached is a large closet for your gear. Blackout drapes ensure privacy and a sound night's rest. This bedroom opens up to the livingroom.

Bedroom 2 - At the back of the unit is a second bedroom with a comfy queen bed. It is far away from the rest of the living spaces and offers privacy.

Bedroom 3 - This is a massive bedroom with a queen bed, bar table, two hanging chairs, massive carpet and a comfortable chaise lounge.

Bedroom 4 - Not really a bedroom but the living room couch doubles as a sofa bed. It's about the size of a full-size bed.

LIVING & ENTERTAINMENT

Living Room -There's a brand new 4K smart TV with Roku. Log into your favorite streaming service. Netflix, Amazon Prime, Sling, Hulu, etc.

WiFi - My home employs a mesh WiFi network with no dead zones. A strong 600Mbps connection will allow you to stream and work without any issues.

LAUNDRY & COOKING

Kitchen - The kitchen has everything you need to cook, including a full stove and oven, fridge and freezer, and assortment of pots and pans. My brand new knives are sharp (dull knives are a pet peeve!). There are cutting boards, wine glasses, coffee mugs, and a drip coffee maker.

Laundry - The home offers a full size washer and dryer that you are free to use.

This is a fully furnished apartment with total access for you. That includes...

+ 3 bedrooms
+ 1 full bathroom
+ 1 kids' play room
+ 1 kitchen and dining area
+ 1 living room
+ 1 laundry area
+ private back porch
+ private back yard (the grass and wildflower seeds have not taken yet, don't expect it to be lush!)

I have turned over management to my great cohosts at The Wolf Rentals-- so Nathan, Nancy and Matt will be your points of contact during your stay.

The neighborhood is an up and coming district off Highway 7 and the home is a few blocks away from Lake Estes. The neighborhood features two breweries (Avant Garde and Lumpy Ridge Brewing Company), three great taco joints (La Cocina de Mama, our local Mexican market, and a great taco truck at the local lumber yard), a bowling alley, and a few pubs. You can walk a few blocks to the shores of Lake Estes, the local dog park, the Estes Park events complex, and much more.

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 and renters on the other side of the duplex.

NONPAYING GUESTS

Nonpaying/non-registered guests are not allowed on property.

NO AIR CONDITIONER

Estes has a mild mountain climate in the summers but from time to time it can get hot. Like nearly every other home in town, there’s no A/C. The cool evening breeze will cool the home down quickly.

MINUT

We use a Minut noise meter. It doesn't record audio, but instead monitors decibel levels, temperature and humidity. This is for the safety of guests & to protect the home. It also serves to warn us about parties & prevent noise complaints from neighbors. It's located on the ceiling in the kitchen.
