Fall River condo on the rivers edge License #6203
This condo was very nice, very clean, and we loved the river view right outside the door. We saw mule deer in the neighborhood several times, and loved how close the condo is to RMNP.

EP Cottage - Hot Tub! Fireplace! Walk to Town! EV!
I don’t know where to start. Dana was an amazing host! She has thought of everything that you would need and much more. She also knows everything about the area so is extremely helpful with recommendations. The house was spotless and everything worked as it should! We would definitely stay again!

The Willow Sticks Home, peaceful #3317 Welcome!
this was my second time staying at mark's place and it was as wonderful as the time before. The hot tub was great after a long day of hiking, the home feels private and peaceful, elk walk beside the property, mark is informative and friendly, the house is cozy and comfortable.

Hot Tub, Fireplace & Deck Near National Park
Super easy to book and great location from town and the parks!

Next to RMNP-Hike From House-HotTub-Coaster Passes
This place was awesome! The house was stocked with everything you could need for your trip. Clean, peaceful and comfortable are the three words I would use to describe this place. My toddler loved the kids room with books and games to play. The Wii was also a great addition for when you are ready to lounge but still want a little competition. The couch on the front porch was comfy, clean and relaxing. And the hot tub is just what we needed after a long day of hiking and exploring the town. Do you like alpine coasters? Great, because the 3 unlimited ride passes get you on over and over and over again!!! Once again, a huge plus for kids!! Overall, this place was near perfect. Can’t think of a single thing I would change. Will definitely book again for my next Estes Park trip!!

Stutzhaven in the Mountains - Gorgeous Views -
Spent our honeymoon here and we loved it!

HIGH COUNTRY GETAWAY #3007
Highly recommend! Beautiful clean home in a great location in Estes Park. We enjoyed our stay here! My little boy especially enjoyed all the wildlife we were able to see from the back porch.

Diamond Retreat-Mtn Views, Modern Home, Wildlife
Wow! This was an incredible spot for our first trip out west as a family. It’s close to everything- the national park, the town center, the YMCA (horseback riding) - yet blissfully tucked away from the bustle. The views are better than advertised. They are astounding!! We had many animal visits including a herd of elk who greeted us right after we arrived. The home itself is spacious, giving our family of 4 adults plenty of space to be together and have personal space. It looks exactly like the photos. Tastefully decorated to make it feel open and welcoming. This is one of the best appointed Airbnbs we’ve ever stayed at. The hosts were very generous with basic supplies to get our visit started. As we discovered more of Estes Park and saw the other places and locations we considered for our trip, we were convinced that this was head and shoulders above the others (and they still looked great).
Estes Park cabin rentals

Eco-Friendly Cabin with Million Dollar Views.
We had a wonderful stay! The views are truly breathtaking. The location felt like being “off the grid” but still close enough to major Colorado landmarks. Jay was an excellent host who always kept in contact in case we needed anything. We had the best time! Would love to stay here again! Thanks, Jay!

Charming 100 year old cabin w/ hot tub & fireplace
As some of the other reviews state, this was a very well maintained and excellent Airbnb! One of our best stays. Highly recommend.

Cabin w/ views, wood stove, 5 min to National Park
Loved the place we stayed at! Beautiful view of the mountains and lovely fireplace indoors. All in all, we had a great time! Super responsive when messaging back and forth. 10/10 would go again.

AlpenHaven~Sparkling Clean~420 Friendly + Hot Tub!
We booked this cozy little cabin for our honey moon and it was absolutely perfect! When we arrived we met the host Tom who is very personable and kind, he helped us get settled in and offered some great recommendations in the area! When I walked into the cabin I was absolutely enamored with all the thoughtful little details throughout, it was very clean and we felt at home right away! Outside of the cabin there’s a porch swing. perfect for relaxing, painting, great place to smoke, and you get a PERFECT view of the mountains. The property is filled with so much wildlife - magpies, hummingbirds, mule dear, prairie dogs. The hot tub was so relaxing and a great place to relax and look at the sky! There were even two very cozy complementary robes for us to wear and we stayed snuggled up all week :) If you love nature and you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing trip with fast access to Estes park and the comfort of great hosts this is the place!!

King & Q beds, views, hot tub, deck, grill
Absolutely would stay here again and recommend! Beautiful spot! Very modern and clean! Close to a lot of great activities such as hikes, restaurants, distilleries, breweries, ice cream, the Stanley Hotel, downtown Estes, etc. The one ask would be slightly better toilet paper, but that’s pretty minor! Great kitchen, bathroom, plenty of sleeping spots, hot tub, fire pit, grill, old video game systems, and a record player (with records) and Bluetooth! Quick and helpful responses too!

New cabin w/ hot tub, fireplace near National Park
Molly was an amazing host! We had a hiccup on our second night and she quickly got back to us on how to resolve it despite the late hour. The house was immaculate and so cozy! We will definitely be returning and I recommend “Mary’s Lake Cabin” to everyone!

River Front Hot Tub Fire Pit Mountain Views & RMNP
This place is amazingly beautiful. The fire pit and hot tub on the deck make it all next level. There’s so much attention to detail in amenities! I would definitely stay here again and recommend this place to anyone!

Dog friendly vacation rentals in Estes Park

Modern Cabin, Outdoor Living + Hot Tub
Our family had an amazing stay. The hosts were so helpful and responsive with questions. Quiet peaceful community and tons of deer and elk wandering through the neighborhood. Loved our stay, we will always stay here in Estes! Thank You.

Brand New Cabin at Rocky Mountain National Park
It is not often that someone is impressed by an AirBNB. There's always something about it that just makes you think it's not 100%. However...Jayme and Jason's place is incredible. It is in a world of its own. Quiet, beautiful, and peaceful. The amenities and the cabin are excellent and everything is thought of: from the walking sticks in the bedroom closet to the champagne in the fridge. This is truly a 5/5 listing and you will not regret spending a few nights here. A word of note: read the guidebook and understand the history of Grand Lake. This place is still reeling from the horrible fire of 2020. Seriously: be attentive if you make a campfire and don't be "that guest" that the locals/neighbors are afraid of.

Horsetooth Escape: Hike, Kayak, Hot Tub & Stars!
My only regret about booking Erin's place is not staying longer. We were very comfortable and the place was spotless. The hot tub was a great amenity. We would definitely book again.

SALE! Dogs OK! Hot tub & king bed near Nat'l Park
This place was super cute and cozy! It was just perfect for our one night stay in Estes park! We got to see turkeys and elk in the yard while drinking our coffee and that was super cool. The bed was super comfortable!! Elizabeth was very responsive and made sure we had everything that we needed. We will certainly be back because we love Estes park so much!

James Cabins #1 w/ HOT TUB! No Cleaning Fees
Our stay was great! The cabin was adorable and picturesque views from the cabin. This was a great stay and very affordable in a wonderful town. The hot tub was a huge plus! Bryon and Tash were always very responsive and had a very nicely maintained historic property.

Lakeside Retreat with Hot Tub - Steps from RMNP
This was a wonderful experience. Exactly what we wanted to have relaxation and quiet time. The location is perfect, just a short drive from everything you could need or want to do. We would definitely love to stay here again.

Sale! Dogs OK! Views, King Bed, Fireplace
We had our four teen girls with us, and they raved about it! Loved the brightness of the condo, and the bright white bed linens. Spacious and room for everyone. Enjoyed the cozy fireplace in the evening. Our girls loved the little hidden cubby room .

Longs Peak Views! 2.6 acres near Lumpy Ridge Trail
Our family of four had a fantastic six night stay at this beautiful mountain home. It was everything we hoped for and more. Very peaceful, and we had a very relaxing time there. The location was perfect, close to just about everything you’d want to do in the area and to the park entrances. Excellent communication with the hosts and their guidebook was great. Would definitely Book again!

Your guide to Estes Park
All About Estes Park
Estes Park is a beautiful mountain getaway, nestled in the foothills of northwestern Colorado near Rocky Mountain National Park, where you can spot elk regularly wandering the streets. It’s a scenic hub for many visitors wanting to explore the park. The small town, which is just under seven square miles, is home to over 6,000 residents, and great local restaurants and breweries.
This area has cultural roots dating back to the Arapaho and Sioux tribes, the original custodians of this land. Pioneers, hunters, and inventors eventually followed, and many of the buildings they erected are still standing as historical markers to this past.
The natural landscape surrounding Estes Park is known for its lush hiking trails, crystal-clear lakes, and phenomenal stargazing. If you pass through in the wintertime, you’ll find the locals skiing, snowshoeing, or staying in a cozy Estes Park condo rental.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Estes Park
If you’re looking for water sports, the best time to visit Estes Park is from June to September. This is prime time to go whitewater rafting or take a boat out on the water as the weather is mild and dry. Other summer activities include hiking, biking, and climbing.
Winter in the Rocky Mountains is extraordinary but the rural roads are not for the faint of heart. You can still visit the Rocky Mountains during winter, but be prepared to drive on snowy, winding mountain roads that can be tricky to navigate. While average winter temperatures are below freezing, this is also the perfect climate to go snowboarding, skiing, and snowshoeing. Regardless of which season you visit, there’s a home rental in Estes Park, Colorado waiting for you.
Top things to do in Estes Park
Estes Park Riverwalk
This mile-long, tree-lined path runs along the Big Thompson River on the backside of Elkhorn Avenue, downtown’s main street. Start from Estes Park Visitor Center and discover mom-and-pop shops, patio bars, and local coffee shops which offer direct access from the trail. As you walk, try to spot the 12 bronze statues of pikas (cute mountain-dwelling animals) which are part of a local scavenger hunt.
Cycling
Take an open-air ride through the famous Rocky Mountain National Park with experienced mountain cyclists as your guide. The tours can last anywhere from three to eight hours, depending on your experience level. Book a tour in advance with a local outfitter, who can provide the bicycle, helmet, water, and snacks.
Park Theater
Built in 1913, this theater is one of the oldest operating motion picture theaters in the country. Watch everything from blockbuster films to documentaries here while fueling up on sandwiches and beer from the snack bar. Fun fact: the theatre has an 80-foot neon sign on the front of the building which required the city’s special permission to use.
