Beautiful Setting, Romantic Historic Arts & Crafts Home, Great Longs Peak Views

Great house for our Christmas weekend. Lots of space to hang out together. The host was polite and super responsive to my questions before our stay. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes for larger groups and the host took the extra time to leave us a nice card, candy and candle. I chose four stars for a couple reasons. We made the reservation for eight people and expected beds to be set up for eight. We had to pull three twin sized mattresses out of the closets, lay them on the floor and put sheets on them. My daughter was bummed to be sleeping on the floor (albeit a mattress) for our Christmas trip. Then, my husband was less than impressed with us having to to pack out our trash. Perhaps it's my bad and I missed all of this info in the listing, but those were two things we were not expecting. While it put a damper on the trip, overall the place was good. I would recommend renting this house, just be prepared for some extra tasks.

This property checked every box for us. The house is a treasure with all its 1910 charm on full display in the very best way. Had the privilege of having a couple visits by 2 bull elks who also appreciated the peaceful charm of this homestead. We couldn’t help but wonder how much fun it would be to decorate this house for Christmas. Judy was terrific and accommodating. All she asks is that visitors love the home just as she does. No problem there! We will definitely stay again!

Had a great stay! The location was perfect, the house was beautiful, and the surroundings were very peaceful. Would definitely recommend.

The house was perfect. Welcoming, familiar family feeling mountain home surrounded by national park on one side and open meadows on the other. Judith the owner we very responsive and made the whole thing effortless. Will definitely request to book again if in Estes Park. Saw deer, rabbits, and elk on the regular. Great for night time stargazing. One night had terrific thunderstorms which were equally impressive against the backdrop of the mountains.

Spent Christmas week with family in this wonderful older home, nestled up in the Rockies and only minutes to Estes Park. The house is full of character (creaky wooden floors and clubfoot bathtubs), with many whimsical touches. Would love to come back.

You will be greeted by an incredible and gracious host. You have beautiful views from every window. There are multiple gathering places, also including places for a bit more privacy. You're in a lovely setting both indoors and outdoors. The home is comfortable, spacious, well stocked, conveniently located, beautifully decorated. A phenomenal find and a beautiful place to stay for a vacation in a beautiful area. The host is so welcoming and her home is beyond compare. Don't miss an opportunity to stay here.

This property is so beautiful and perfect for family gathering. A special older home with many details that have been carefully preserved, updated, cared for but still gives a glimpse of how the cultured families lived during the heyday of the Stanley. So comfortable to stay here with some extra benefits such as…. The home’s local wildlife—chipmunks, cottontails, and birds were a joy to watch and the dark nights brought out the stars in mass. I hadn’t seen the Milky Way that bright in many years. Thank you for sharing this home…..

6 adults enjoyed the beautiful historic property with plenty of room! Enjoyed hiking the national park then sitting down for meals and games in evening. Nice sky watching away from down town Estes Park! Wildlife right out the window and views of the mountains.

The pictures do not do this property justice! We loved the house and our time there. So relaxing and so beautiful. We can’t wait to come back. One week is simply not enough time. Don’t think. Stay here.

It was a beautiful historic house! Great location@ It was close to all of our events. Just loved it!
