Past guests have raved:



`... the cabin has all you need for a perfect mountain stay. The location is absolutely amazing and convenient, close to downtown and close to the Park`s entrance`

`... very clean, easy check in and out, great proximity to the national park and nice front porch views to enjoy in this cute moutain-y cabin!`

`... we enjoyed spending evenings watching movies in the loft and reading on the deck with breakfast. Nathan is a great host!`

`... incredibly relaxing cabins that are right next to town but feel like you’re in total solitude. Highly recommend.`



Thanks for checking the Elk Run Cabin, with views off the deck of Prospect Mountain and Twin Sisters Peaks. My cabin is on a unique property with two other short term rentals: Alpine Garden, an original 1927 home that used to sit inside Rocky Mountain National Park; and Hummingbird Cabin, a virtual twin of Elk Run but facing the opposite direction.



All rentals are separate, individual buildings with separated parking and living spaces.



Elk Run was built in 2017, but takes inspiration from historic western design; an original wagon wheel chandelier hangs down from a lofted ceiling, but it`s got smart TVs, high speed internet, endless on-demand hot water, and much more.



The home is seconds away from the best restaurant in Estes (Bird and Jim!!) and my favorite local supermarket, plus it`s on the western edge of town so you don`t have to brave downtown traffic to get into the National Park.



***** IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE *****



My 1-acre property has three short term rentals on it: this home and two other cabins. Each one has its own private parking and living spaces; the only shared area is the driveway. Guests must be respectful of the parking and noise situations. If you are looking for isolation in the woods, this is not your best bet.

I own a small rental management company in town and have a great team of house managers, so either myself or one of them will be readily available to answer any and all questions.



My neighborhood is a typical Estes Park rural residential neighborhood, where you can see mountains all around but there are also neighbors. I ask that guests are respectful of my neighbors, self-monitor their noise levels, and do not trespass on their land.



This property is about a 15 minute walk to the Country Super Market (downhill there, uphill back), where you can hop on the free summer shuttle bus that goes all over Estes Park and takes you to the Rocky Mountain National Park visitor center, and from there you can hop on a shuttle that goes into the National Park.



However, you really need to have your own car when visiting Estes Park. There are not reliable Ubers/Lyfts and the taxis are few and far between.



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. Note that my property has two other short term rentals on it; treat our neighbors like you`d want to be treated.



The house has a Minut, which measures sound levels and alerts us if things are too loud so I can give you a heads up. It does not record content, it only measures decibel levels so your privacy is 100% guaranteed. Guests are not to unplug it (we will also be alerted if that happens). It also measures temperature to alert us of pipe freeze conditions. It`s in the roof beam in the loft.



NONPAYING GUESTS



Insurance requires that nonpaying and non-registered guests are not allowed on property.



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.
