EV #3073

Nestled in a quiet mountain neighborhood, surrounded by pine trees, at the base of Old Man Mountain, Bear House is the perfect family retreat. With 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, private hot tub, air hocky, foosball, ping pong and lots of TV’s this home is a favorite for a multi-generation reunion as well as a friend’s getaway.

Less than a mile to downtown Estes Park and only 4 miles to Rocky Mountain National Park this home is close to everything.

Through the front door and up a few steps you will find the living room with an electric fireplace and smart TV. The kitchen and dining room has plenty of room and everything you need to cook your favorite family meals. With comfy seating to sit and chat while waiting for the oven to finish its job you won’t miss out.

Just off the kitchen is the deck. Seating, picnic table, grill and an outdoor heater make this the ideal place for an evening get together recounting the days adventures or a morning cup of coffee while you listen to the birds wake up.

Two bedrooms, two bathrooms and the washer and dryer are also on this main level. One bedroom with a king bed has an ensuite bathroom with a shower and the other bedroom a queen bed and a bathroom with a shower tub combo accessed from the hallway. With four sleeping upstairs, the rest of the family will sleep on the lower level.

The bedrooms downstairs will sleep eight. At the foot of the stairs is a bedroom with a queen bed. Across the hall is the ‘kids’ bedroom. With a queen bed and twin over twin bunkbeds the kids can spread out. Easy access to the bathroom in the hallway with a shower gives everyone time to get ready in the morning.

The fifth bedroom, with a queen bed, is tucked away on the other side of the TV game room. The ensuite bathroom with a shower is the fourth bathroom in this home.

The game room is a great place for kids of all ages. Foosball and air hockey with a ping pong table in the garage through the door in the hallway will provide endless family fun and competition.

If you are not up for competition and would rather just chill, check out the hot tub accessed through the door in the game room. This amazing hut tub seats 6 people, has 38 jets, underwater lights, bucket seats, foot jets and a lounge. The best place to relax and enjoy after a long day of hiking and exploring.

Whether you are planning an extended family vacation and grandma wants everyone under one roof, a girl’s getaway or a guy’s fishing trip, Bear House offers what you need. With enough room to get together or spread out, Bear House is the place to be.

Bear House is only .09 of a mile to downtown Estes Park and 4 miles to the Fall River entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park

Post Labor Day Stay for Three Nights

Very nice property, it was clean, close to town and RMNP. We had a party of five and it accommodated us with room to spare. We enjoyed the hot tub and the ping pong table. The house was well stocked with essentials, we only had to buy some groceries for the stay.

We have stayed at this property several times and love it more each time. It is comfortably, the company is very easy to work with and answers questions quickly. It is close to town and close to the park entrance. We will definitely stay here again.

Great place to stay while you visit the park.

The owner's did an excellent job renovating the home for a rental. My only criticism is the furniture on the main floor is worn out, the seats need to be replaced.

Family adventure near RMNP

Bear House was the perfect place to host our kids and two grandkids for a long weekend in Estes Park. The kitchen was nicely equipped for family meals and the house provided enough room to spread out when anyone needed a break. Bear house is very close to one of the entrances to the park so made it easy. Being outside of the busy downtown area was a plus.

Wedding in Estes

Nice place. There were 4 couples coming to a wedding and 4 babies! Lots of space to spread out and have places to hang while babies slept in others areas. I little trouble with the code to get in, but that was taken care of immediately with a quick phone call. We loved gathering on the spacious deck for meal and morning coffee. Would stay here again.

Suggestions?

Too many steps for elderly and a stepstool was needed to get in and out of the downstairs king size bed. More bedding was needed in the downstairs bedrooms. It too cool for the amount of bedding on the beds and towels could be More plush

Perfect for a multi family vacation

Great location, activities for teenagers to do, multiple living rooms - perfect for our family. Very clean with plenty of towels. The kitchen was nice with 2 nice sets of dishes, plenty of glasses & silverware organized well. Cookware could use an update making it functional for large groups (only had 2 small skillets). Cabinets were full of other items that were outdated or very heavy, needing to be reorganized and updated.

Enjoyed our stay

Our family of 9 really enjoyed our stay. Had everything we needed. Clean, fully-stocked, and close to town. House has two living rooms and sitting area between dining room and kitchen so many areas for our family to spread out, but also the rooms are large enough for us to all be together. There was an issue with trash pickup (assumed it was because of the holiday), but the owner was responsive to my text. The lower level is definitely cooler than the upper level, but there are plenty of fans throughout the house, and we were always comfortable. The deck was great, hot tub was nice, and the kids really enjoyed playing on the rocks. We felt the rocks added privacy to the house and especially the deck area. We would definitely stay there again.

A great get-away!

We had a wonderful stay at Bear House! My brother, his wife and two daughters (17, 19) flew here from South Carolina. My family included me, my husband and our two sons (25, 28). The photos were pretty accurate although the bedrooms and common areas were a bit smaller than expected since photos are wide-angle. The kitchen was well stocked and we prepared a lot of meals. The lower level of the home was about 20 degrees colder in the lower level. It’s very close to downtown Estes. From our experience there, it would be an ideal space for up to 6 adults. I would absolutely stay at Bear House again! I’d love to spend time there in the summer or fall!

Wedding Gathering

My extended family and I stayed at the Bear House for my niece's wedding. We were thoroughly impressed with the property. It is a very clean, spacious, and centrally located home. It's less than 5 minutes from "downtown" Estes Park and 10 -15 minutes from RMNP. The game room and hot tub were added bonuses. I highly recommend this vacation rental!

The wonder of Nature’s own

We enjoyed our time here very much. Just one thing was not satisfactory - the jacuzzi, the water was too low and it was not clean. One of the hinge bars to the lid was broken.

Great place!!!

A girls' trip morphed into just my husband and me staying at the Bear House for a week. While way too much house for just two people, it was absolutely wonderful. Comfortable bed, nice linens, well stocked kitchen, TVs everything, outdoor seating areas, nice living room furniture and lots of other thoughtful amenities. House is about 3/4 mile from west end of town near the water wheel via the river trail and less than 1/4 mile to the shuttle stop. Both of the main RMNP entrances are close and you have easy access to Wonderview to avoid downtown traffic. House is as advertised and we would highly recommend!

Wedding Stay in Estes

We were so pleased with our VRBO! We We’re preparing for a wedding and had multiple family members, including an infant, and the house has everything we needed! There was room to spread out, a safety gate and high chair, plenty of amenities and very easy to get into! We even had excitement with a bear walking down the street as well as elk and turkey. We felt like we were truly in the wild in our own little space.
