Unique A-Frame! Just 1.5 mi to Estes & RMNP entrance

City of Estes Park Registration 3033. Actual address is 2415 Wild Bear Way, Estes Park.

Why stay in the same old cabin or condo when you can stay in our beautiful, clean and unique A-Frame surrounded by trees and abundant with wildlife.

The location of this home is perfect for your Estes vacation. It is located in a very quiet collection of a few cabins about a 15 minute hike into Rocky Mountain National Park or the YMCA property and a 1.5 mile drive to Downtown or the Beaver Meadows entrance into RMNP.

You will have a marvelous Rocky Mountain vacation in this clean, quiet, fully appointed vacation home. We have two bedrooms upstairs. The master bedroom has a queen bed and a balcony where you can hear the Big Thompson River through the trees. The second bedroom has a full size bed. Downstairs is tastefully decorated with cabin style furniture with a pull-out queen and pull-out twin bed. Downstairs is great for kids to sleep in while the grown-ups sleep quietly upstairs.

We have a newer remodeled full kitchen w/ gas stove, dishwasher and microwave, plenty of plates as well as pots and pans. We also have a full sized washer and dryer too.

You can relax and read a book by the wood-burning stove, watch DVD's on the TV (we have a large selection of DVD's stocked), play classic Atari video games or sit on the front or back porches and watch the elk, deer, bears, foxes, coyotes, wild turkeys, rabbits, hummingbirds etc. that are frequently seen on the property.

If you want to hike, this is the location for you. You can hike into Rocky Mountain National Park along the picturesque boulder strewn Big Thompson River and be in the Moraine Park area (prime fishing and elk viewing area) in about 15 minutes (accessed through the corner of the YMCA property). You can also hike along Glacier Creek for more fishing and beautiful trails. The YMCA has numerous trails where mountain biking is allowed. We are close to quite a few restaurants, shopping, horseback riding, fishing, miniature golf and all that Estes has to offer on Highway 66 (Tunnel Rd) into downtown Estes.

Cute House
The house was very cute and convenient for getting to Rocky Mountain National Park. The house had plenty of space for my family of 4 and was very clean. The only part my daughter didn't like was the spiral stair case, it was steep but in the listing so not a surprise.

Everything we needed and great location
This A frame had everything our family needed for a comfortable stay. The couches are worn, but everything else was well kept for an older home. It felt clean and comfortable. The spiral stairs are a bit challenging if you are tall and with the younger kids but are sturdy and needed for this space. The owner was very responsive with my questions and very knowledgeable of the area. The location is wonderful and peaceful. I would definitively recommend this space!

Great location
Had a fantastic time. Some small suggestions would be a few things would need to be updated. The screen doors should be replaced and the beds upstairs are very old queen beds. It would be nice to replace one with a king size bed, especially the back bed is very uncomfortable and loud when tossing and turning. Over all we enjoyed our trip

Fabulously Perfect Place!
Our family of five absolutely loved this place! We walked to the YMCA and to RMNP from the property. We saw deer within ten feet of us from the front and back decks EVERY day we were there. We were pleasantly surprised by how stocked the property came with movies and board games. It was a huge hit for our kids and us alike. Thank you so much for sharing your place with us! the b.fam.

Loved the A Frame. Wished it had been shared that the driveways into the area are in such poor condition. Feel also that Wi-Fi access should be a standard. Some people need to do work even on vacation, especially in the times we are living in. Besides these things, loved our time there and grateful for the experience. Lots of wildlife sightings too!

Perfect getaway but close enough to hot spots
We stayed three nights and absolutely loved it. The first night there we saw a bobcat roaming around around the neighbor's home, which was so cool. We also had many elk, deer, and rabbits in our yard. There were 3 small snags, but overall, it was a perfect stay. The 3 snags: -The sliding screen doors are very finicky and easily jump off the track, so you have to fumble with it sometimes. -The blinds are also pretty old and will fall off with just the slightest touch. -When we tried watching Netflix on the TV, it ran INCREDIBLY slow (not the internet, but the TV itself). It ended up totally freezing up on us, then after a while, the screen just went black and automatically did a factory reset. We decided not to fumble with it anymore. This wasn't a huge deal for us since we were so busy running around during the day. Overall, this is the perfect little cabin to be close to nature while having the convenience of being a few minutes from RMNP and downtown Estes Park.

Grateful but let down.
Found this place kinda last minute and for a great price. Overall I think we got what we paid for. Nothing fancy which is fine but the place really needs a deep clean. The upstairs was especially lacking in cleanliness. There were what looked like a few pet stains on the carpets and I assume they were pet stains because it smelled like urine. It was a real turn off and we were glad when our stay was over.

Perfect for us!
Had family of three and a mother-in-law. Everyone had their own space which was wonderful. The location is close enough to town getting there is easy, and there are enough businesses south of town, closer to the home, if you want to avoid Estes Park traffic. Easy entrance to the park and trailheads. Lots of wildlife around so keep your eyes out. Awesome classic movies to watch on the DVD player, our 20 year old son watched "One flew over the Cuckoos Nest," it is now one of his all-time favorites. Can't thank the Valescos enough - great at answering questions, and the house it wonderfully decorated and homey, and just what we needed for a week away from the day-to-day grind.

Serviceable, but needs TLC
The location of this property is IDEAL as it is very close to the park entrance and it is quiet. Our sons LOVED the spiral staircase. The A-frame has so much cuteness potential, but it needs some TLC. When we pulled up, the grass/weeds had grown high, and it was clear that the yard had not been addressed in some time, so the first impression wasn't excellent. The interior needs deep cleaning. Most major surfaces were clean, but the nooks and crannies had dust, dirt, spiderwebs, and many places needed fresh paint. There were also some issues with bugs. My husband woke up in the night to a large moth on his face, and we killed multiple moths and spiders during our stay. There is also a strong musty smell, which is concerning for guests who have allergies. This place is great if you are looking for a place to sleep with a bathroom and kitchen. It worked for us, but we probably wouldn't repeat.

Great location, good price
If your primary reason for staying in Estes is to visit RMNP, than it would be hard to find a better location. Because it is situated just to the west of Estes Park, you will not need to fight through the traffic to get to RMNP. It is also very convenient to the Country Market (small grocery store and deli), gas, and restaurants and activities. The cabin does have several close neighbors, and the property itself is quite small. We made friends with a neighbor who welcomed us to walk up his property more on the side of the mountain - you would want to be sure to have permission first. Cowpoke Corral is literally down the road and my daughter and I had a fun one-hour horse back ride there. The house was extremely clean. The upstairs front bedroom has a comfortable queen mattress - firm, which I like. The other queen bed was pretty squishy/springy, which did not bother our 6yo daughter, but may not be right for some. Our 9yo son slept on the pull-out love seat. He was perfectly happy there, but it would not be suitable for most adults. Our children appreciated having games available in the closet. They also enjoyed seeing an elk and several mule dear, in addition to a mama bear and her cubs (don't leave food in your car, and keep your car LOCKED at ALL times - we learned the hard way). The kitchen is equipped with basics (but don't expect condiments, spices, and the like - we did find sugar and oil). The coffee pot is small, so we found that we had to make a few pots every day. The bathroom is spacious, although the shower head was quite low, which posed a challenge for my 6'5'' husband. The bathroom would benefit from a small shelf above the sink - there is nowhere to place toiletries except on the clothes dryer, which is also located in the bathroom. The bathroom would also benefit from towel hooks - it appears there used to be one on the back of the door. As it stands, we had to drape our towels over doors, etc. It would be handy if the owners/property manager would put a telephone book in the house. The spiral staircase was fun for the kids, perfectly manageable for me, less great for the tall husband. Overall, the price for a very expensive area like Estes Park seemed very fair - a good value.

Estes Park cabin
My husband and I stayed for 4 days with our adult son and his girlfriend. The house was clean, and well equipped. Beds were really comfortable. The washer and dryer were really nice to have. The location was fabulous. I would not recommend this cabin for a 2 couple romantic getaway. There aren’t real doors on the bedrooms, and you can hear a person in the next room whispering.LOL

Please spend some money
I was not comfortable with the fact that just anyone could see straight into the bedroom. Those blinds really need to be replaced. This was our first time flying into a rental and I wasn’t fully packed with all necessities. However, I’ve never needed all that I have Brought with me either. Here we didn’t have one extra trash bag, one dishwasher pod or even one load of laundry detergent that we were supposed to use to wash our towels. Either the owner should spend the money to make it better or the renter should spend their money somewhere else. There was wildlife in the yard on several occasions.

Great stay with some snags
This cute property is in a great location-- close enough to town and Rocky Mountain National Park to be convenient, but far enough away to be quiet and secluded. Check in was wonderfully easy. The kitchen is big enough and well appointed to cook full meals for a family. There were some snags that made our stay more difficult. One screen door was finicky and difficult to operate. The upstairs screen door was completely off and leaning against the wall. This made airflow upstairs challenging, which was important since the unit has no A/C (would have been fine with the cool mountain evenings if there was airflow). There were several blinds missing. We ran out of toilet paper part way through the stay, although the owner was responsive and brought some by. The property also ran out of laundry supplies although I was eventually able to find them in a supplemental storage unit. Overall we enjoyed our time in the mountains and at this unit but some of these small things would have made it better.

Vacation with my boys
Clean A-frame cabin. Perfect location for all our adventures from hiking up in RMNP to shopping and eating and fishing in Estes and white water rafting to watching wild life from the cabin. Love this little cabin. Made lots of memories with my family. We will definitely come back. Only two minor corrections need to be made to the cabin: needs new screens on sliders and new window covers on the upstairs master bedroom.. nothing major and again looking forward to booking this cabin again
