Mountain Retreat on 10 Private Acres! Wildlife & Mountain Views! #22-ZONE3269

!!!New Listing!!! Welcome to Alpine Brook Lodge! (Larimer County #22-ZONE3269) Located in beautiful Tahosa Valley, the home sits on ten pristine, secluded acres nestled between Twin Sisters and Longs Peak. The Alpine Brook flowing down from the base of Longs Peak ripples through the property, attracting moose, elk, deer, bear, bobcat, a variety of birds, and other wildlife. This is truly a mountain oasis. You will love relaxing on the deck, taking in the breathtaking views, and enjoying the fresh mountain air.

Arguably one of the most beautiful valleys in Colorado, Enos Mills himself (dubbed the “Father of Rocky Mountain National Park” by the Denver Post) homesteaded on the adjoining property. The cabin he built in 1885 is still located on the property. The Enos Mills Cabin Museum is a must visit during your stay (appointment needed). Another legendary mountain man, Kit Carson, had a cabin on the Alpine Brook Lodge property. Though no remnants remain, it was located by the highway near the property entrance.

Located just minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park’s Wild Basin, Longs Peak, Twin Sisters, and Lily Lake trailheads, this is the perfect “base camp” for your hiking and exploring adventures. High mountain lakes abound in the area. Want an afternoon in town Estes Park is a short 15 minute drive from the cabin. Other nearby mountain towns to explore include Allenspark (10 minute drive – fill up your water bottle in Crystal Springs!), Lyons (30 minute drive), and Nederland (45 minute drive along Peak to Peak Scenic Byway). The drive from Denver International Airport is only 1 hour and 20 minutes.

The lodge has been thoughtfully and lovingly decorated by the owners. Scandinavian touches throughout speak to the family’s heritage. The house accommodates up to ten guests with plenty of room for everyone to have their own space, but come together for meals, games, and family time. The main level has two spacious living areas, each with a beautiful stone fireplace. There is a breakfast area in the kitchen, as well as a large dining area in one of the living rooms. The kitchen is well equipped with pots and pans, standard coffee maker, electric kettle, crockpot, waffle maker, and more. There is also a propane grill on the deck with ample outdoor seating. The master King bedroom, equipped with an ensuite full bathroom with jetted tub, is on the main level. This level also has a Queen bedroom, as well as a full bathroom. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms share a “Jack and Jill” bathroom (shared shower room, private toilet and sink area for each bedroom), making it a perfect space for kids. One bedroom has two Twin beds while the other has two Queens. The lower level is a wonderful game room where you can curl up on the couch with a good book, do a puzzle, play a board game, or challenge each other to a game of pool. The couch folds out if you need an extra bed.
