Charming Hilltop Cottage Near Downtown Estes with Views A/C WIFI and Parking!

Welcome to The Owl's Nest, Estes Park Vacation Rental #3160. Feel free to call or text me anytime if you have questions, or you can instantly book your stay if you prefer.

The Owl's Nest is ideally situated above Bond Park, right in the heart of downtown Estes Park. This spacious 1,336-square-foot home features a stunning 350-square-foot deck that offers breathtaking views of the Stanley Hotel, the Lumpy Mountain Range, and a partial view of Lake Estes—making it a perfect spot to enjoy the July 4th fireworks.

On the main floor, you’ll find a cozy living room with spectacular views of Lumpy Range, a gas fireplace, and a fully equipped kitchen. This floor also includes a bathroom with a shower, a queen bedroom, and a twin bedroom with two twin beds.

The private main suite upstairs has been beautifully updated and now offers complete seclusion, featuring a full bathroom, a walk-in closet, and lovely views of the Stanley Hotel and Lumpy Ridge. For added convenience, we provide a full-size washer and dryer, as well as Trailblazer fiber 1 Gbps broadband Wi-Fi, the fastest in Estes Park.

Enjoy your favorite shows on our four Smart TVs with Netflix and Fubo. One in each bedroom and one in the living room. You’ll also have the pleasure of observing abundant wildlife in the area.

Our prime location means you’re just a short walk away from shopping, the Aerial Tramway, and Fun City, which offers miniature golf, slides, bumper boats, and race cars.

The Owl's Nest is a warm and inviting home, tastefully decorated in a classic contemporary style, with meticulous attention to detail for your comfort and enjoyment. The wonderful outdoor space includes a private backyard with a grill, perfect for gatherings.

Golf enthusiasts will be thrilled to know that the Estes Park 18-Hole Golf Course was rated #6 in the United States for its stunning scenery in the Golf Book of Lists.

We look forward to welcoming you to The Owl's Nest!

A well-equipped and cozy home with many luxury touches. Susan was a wonderful, communicative host. Recently remodeled interior spaces and nicely done. The front deck is a beautiful morning coffee spot overlooking the foothills. Walking distance to downtown, many shops and restaurants/bars. Thank you for sharing your Estes Park home with us!

Amazing!

The property was beautiful and I immediately felt at home! The kitchen was stocked with everything you would need and blankets were in abundance! Our family loves comfy blankets so that was a major plus! The views were gorgeous and the property was so clean! The owner was very easy to communicate with and was ready to help if we needed anything. Estes Park was an amazing trip and we will definitely be going back! I will always book The Owl’s Nest because it was the perfect place for us!

Wonderful Stay :)

House is well taken care of with little features that made this a great stay. Love the notes that helped us navigate the house & the stuff in drawers/cabinets was laid out so you can find what you're looking for. Kitchen well stocked with all the essential cookware & utensils. Only suggestion is that it would be great if coffee was provided for at least the first morning. Beds were very comfy and we loved that there are extra pillows and blankets available. Master bedroom is beautiful and the thick carpeting on the stairs keeps things quieter. The whole house has a cozy feel to it & can't beat the location! Quiet neighborhood...don't worry about the barky dogs across the street...thought it might be a problem, but they settled down. Couple minute walk to downtown shops, bars & restaurants and the Birch Ruins are nearby if you want a place to take a short walk and learn a little history about this area. Communication with the owner was excellent. Seriously, this is one of the best VRBOs my family has stayed in.

All this and elk too

This home was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked for a party of 6, in an excellent location. Highly recommended. Elk with their young were spotted from the deck almost daily in a field across the street.

A wonderful cottage with a great location

This cottage was perfect for our small family reunion! We cooked a lot in the well-stocked kitchen and loved eating on the front deck. One evening we had a great view of many elk! The location allows for quick access to RMNP, and Estes Park shops are just a quick walk away. We hope to return to the Owl’s Nest!

Fabulous Stay

This home was wonderful! Well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. Comfortable beds and room enough for all of us to spread out. The porch in front was an extra plus for morning coffee and evening cocktails with a spectacular view. There is also a yard that is added place to hang. There is a corn hole game in the shed. The location is a couple blocks from the Main Street and relatively easy walk. The incline walking home provides some extra cardio in your day but it is short lived. We were able to drive to hiking spots and Rocky Mountain National Park easily. Really can’t say enough about this place. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

The house was the perfect little space for our trip. It was very close to town which made for a great experience. The house was very clean upon arrival. They even had baby/ toddler items like a pack n play, stroller, highchair and baby gate. These items were very helpful for our family. I highly recommend this house

Cozy Cottage

This was an excellent property that met our needs for my husband and two 70+ year old relatives. One seventy year old with slight mobility issues was able to navigate the home without issues. The cottage had everything you could need, plenty of towels, kitchen well stocked, and great lighting throughout. Highly recommend this property.
