Estes Park Vacation Rental License #6016

Summer guests- This home has air conditioning which is very rare in Estes Park!

Mulligan's Lodge is perfectly situated overlooking the Big Thompson River...so close that you will feel like you can reach out and touch it! Top it all off with views of Prospect Mountain and you have the perfect Rocky Mountain retreat.

From this home it is just a short walk into the Town of Estes Park and an easy 1.5 mile drive to the Beaver Meadows entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park.

The main level great room has a gas fireplace to gather at with river and mountain views all around...no artwork needed on these walls! This is simply the ideal family gathering place with its adjoining fully equipped kitchen and dining room area. Gaze out to take in the perfectly clear Colorado sky, river and mountain views!!

From the great room you can step out to a fantastic deck to enjoy excellent mountain views along with the sights and sounds of the Big Thompson River! Take it all in while enjoying a cup of morning coffee, evening glass of wine, reading a good book or cooking dinner on the gas grill!

The cozy master bedroom en suite is also located on the main level. Open the windows and let the sounds of the Big Thompson lull you to sleep.

Also on the main level is a powder room, laundry area and 2 car garage.

A second family room is located in the lower level along with 2 queen bedrooms and a full bath. From this level you can walk-out onto the patio and spot elk and other wildlife moseying along the Big Thomson River! Or simply sit back, relax, and enjoy the view!

And a BONUS.....enjoy the AIR CONDITIONING (a rarity for homes in Estes Park!) on those hot summer days!!!!

As our guest you will enjoy access to HOA-shared common fishing areas along the Big Thompson river.

Wildlife sightings abound with frequent visits from elk, deer, wild turkeys and even an occasional bobcat.

Need we go on... we think that Mulligan's Lodge is perfect in every way... not just another vacation rental but a perfect mountain home!

Perfect Place

What a great place to relax & watch the super bowl with the guys. Been going to Estes for the past 7 years and this is the nicest unit we've stayed in. The property manager (Sue) went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. The unit is furnished with everything you need (I'm a cook and the kitchen was supplied with everything one needs which was a true treat). Will definitely book here again with the family next time :)

Relaxing and beautiful

This property had everything that our family needed for cooking and nesting. The view is gorgeous and the backyard was appreciated by my teenagers- they spent hours playing and exploring. The location was close to everything and Sue, the property manager was responsive and accommodating. We would love to return for a longer visit, but there aren’t any dogs allowed in this subdivision, which is really sad.

Perfect spot on Big Thompson River

This rental home was an absolute gem! The house had a 2 car garage which was very nice. The deck in back overlooked the Big Thompson River and we watched many deer from there. We stayed in mid-October, and this was a great time to be in Estes Park. This house is extremely well-appointed. The bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchen were all very modern and comfortable. The instruction book left by the owners and property manager were extremely helpful. We would absolutely stay here again!!!

Beautiful Property Getaway

This beautiful home sits on the edge of the Big Thompson River. The home was well stocked and we were able to enjoy family meals and fun times with three generations. Every day we saw deer around the property and we loved the view of the river from the balcony. It really was a perfect home for our family trip.
Deer in backyard by the river. Great fly fishing spot.

Great place to vacation with amazing river views! Very impressed with the quality of the home. The host kept in communication with us through out the entire trip. It was close to all the action in Estes Park and remote enough to enjoy the wildlife that walked through the property. I would definitely recommend this place!

Best Estes Park Stay

This property was perfect for our family vacation to Estes Park. Our host checked in with us before, during, and after our stay and responded immediately when I had a question. The house is even more beautiful than pictured. We had easy access to lots of activities including downtown and RMNP. The river running next to the property was especially nice. I would 10/10 recommend this property to anyone vacationing in Estes Park!

The best vacation spot!

This was such a relaxing place to stay! We loved the huge windows and beautiful view. The location was wonderful for going to Rocky Mountain National Park or into town, but honestly the house itself was vacation enough. I could have just stayed by the fire in the living room watching the backyard stream all week. We have been renting vacation homes for a long time in different places and this was everyone’s favorite! It was immaculately clean and the hosts were very responsive when we had a question. We need to come back in warmer weather so we can hike more!
