The Space:

Discover the Magic of the Mountains at Lazy Elk Retreat.

Larimer County License #20-NCD0346



Nestled among whispering aspens and set against the breathtaking backdrop of Rocky Mountain National Park, Lazy Elk Retreat is your perfect alpine escape. This charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath mountain home blends cozy rustic vibes with modern-day comforts—inviting you to unwind, explore, and make unforgettable memories.



From the moment you arrive, a sense of peace washes over you as you stroll down the welcoming path to your home-away-from-home. The first of three outdoor patios greets you, offering the perfect spot to breathe in the crisp mountain air with your morning coffee or evening wine.



Step inside and be embraced by the bold, rustic charm of the open-concept great room, complete with a warm gas fireplace, soaring beamed ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and oversized windows that flood the space with natural light. Sink into the stylish mountain-chic furnishings and stream your favorite movies on the large flat-screen TV (streaming only), or curl up with a good book as snowflakes drift outside.



The fully-equipped kitchen is a dream for home cooks, featuring double ovens, stainless steel appliances, and vintage touches that give it unique character. Gather around the rustic dining table for meals made with love, or slide open the glass door to enjoy alfresco dining under the aspens on the second patio. Don’t be surprised if wild turkeys or deer wander by while you sip your coffee at the breakfast bar.



With space to comfortably sleep up to 8 guests, the Lazy Elk is perfect for families or friends. The bedrooms offer peaceful rest: a Queen in the first, a spacious King suite with private patio access in the second, and a charming third bedroom with a twin daybed + trundle—ideal for kids or extra guests. Two full bathrooms and an in-home washer/dryer add convenience to your stay.



After a day of hiking, snowshoeing, or exploring downtown Estes Park—just 2 miles away—return home to relax under the stars, fire up the BBQ, or cozy up with a blanket and a glass of wine.

Whether you're chasing snowy adventures or sunny trails, Lazy Elk Retreat is your gateway to the best of the Rockies.

    Honestly amazing. The first day a whole heard of elk walked right by. The second there were deer touching the window with their noses. I have trouble remembering everything but every time I needed something it was there to be used, laundry, dishes, openers, etc. EV DRIVER NOTE: There is a 220 outlet for your use but you need to bring your own charger.Charming place with nice lighting, approximately a million light switches but all labeled (thank you!), very comfortable beds. Heating is partially with an automatic fireplace, very charming touch. Honestly the whole thing was so great we are considering buying in Estes. Location was amazing, 5 minutes from everything, 10 minutes from the park. Trent was a breeze to work with and very accommodating, great communication, flexible, helpful.

    My family had a wonderful stay at this retreat. Living spaces, amenities and outdoor space were as described in the listing. The deer visiting the property were a added plus. Definitely recommend.

    The home was in a gorgeous area, close to town. The grill didnt work and the 3rd BR did not have twin beds as pictured but a trundle(was talked about in the details) bed when pulled out was just about hitting the wall. Management was very responsive but of course couldn't fix the situation.

    This cabin had everything we needed and more! It was very clean and had an ample supply of towels, dishes, and xtra blankets. Having a full size washer and dryer came in handy. I especially loved that there were portable fans available in each bedroom. The cabin was easy to find, especially because the address number was listed in the garage. The owners were very friendly and responded promptly to all of our messages. Welcome basket was a nice touch!
