Special notes:
- This home does not have AC but has fans in all rooms. Most homes in Estes don't have AC as it's normally not needed.

- If you plan to come in the winter or spring months a 4 wheel drive is a must. Although the drive to the Peppermint Hut is not difficult the driveway is a bit steep and with snowfall would be difficult for a non-4wheel drive to go up.

- All three bedrooms are located upstairs- please consider this if stairs are an issue for anyone in your group

- No loud parties or events. No pets.

- No smoking or vaping inside or outside-this is a wilderness area and we take fire safety very seriously

    This is one of the very best properties we have ever stayed in. Location was perfect for us, near enough to Estes park to easily get to shopping, restaurants, and shopping, but quiet and private. Very clean, cleverly decorated, great kitchen, and stunning view of Long’s Peak and Rocky Mountain national park.

    Absolutely STUNNING! From the cabin to the views! Super clean as well. Felt like HOME! Many things nearby as well. Host was super nice and showed so much hospitality, and got back to me fast in times I had questions. I would most definitely stay here again!

    Wow, truly a fabulous stay! The house is incredible -- beautiful and comfortable, with gorgeous views of the mountains oustside and everything you need inside to feel at home. And Leah went above and beyond to make our stay great, including accommodating a special request about allergy sensitivities, which we really appreciated. If you are looking to stay in Estes Park and this VRBO is a available, consider yourself lucky and book it now!

    It was wonderful. The house had everything we needed, especially the kitchen. It is so nice to be able to cook and have a fully functional kitchen to enjoy. The views of Longs Peak were amazing. We loved the back desk, the spacious first floor and the foosball and ping pong table. We will be back. Leah was also extremely responsive when we needed something.

    This house was one of the best houses we’ve ever stayed at. We have a baby who is crawling and the house was so clean we felt comfortable letting her crawl around. It was also the most stocked house we’ve stayed at, with spices, toiletries, laundry detergent etc. which just made it feel like we didn’t really have to pack so much! The view was phenomenal, the pictures don’t really even show how beautiful it was. We would definitely stay here again if we are ever back in the Estes Park area!

    Your search ends here. The property is within close proximity to Safeway, amazing restaurants, and RMNP, and yet, it is still secluded. Amazing views and the living room couch reclines which is a necessity after a long day of hiking. We will be back!

    Our family of 4 stayed there for 5 days while visiting Rocky Mountain National Park. It was a well taken care of home…very clean, all decor well coordinated. The views are stunning from the large windows. Everything is just as it looks in the photos or better. The location is in the outskirts of Estes Park downtown, so it is quiet but a short ride to restaurants and shops. We saw elk and deer outside the house several days. My kids loved the ping pong table and foosball table. The property manager is very responsive and helpful. She had recommendations for how to get to the Safeway to avoid traffic. Quick to answer a question on the grill. She was accommodating with a slightly earlier check in and later check out. Highly recommend this house!

    This was our second stay at this house and is by far our favorite vacation rental home. Each morning, we awoke before sunrise to watch the mountains light up in an orangey-pink glow. Sunset is even better with fiery oranges and reds, especially if there are a few clouds in the area. On both visits, we were fortunate enough to be visited by large bull elk, many deer, and one morning, a bobcat came to the backyard. Being just a few minutes from RMNP is an added bonus (purchase the 7-day pass, it’s only 5 more than the daily pass).The house has a great open layout, is well-equipped, and is soooo clean.

    This property has it all. Only about 10 min to the downtown but still secluded enough to feel like you are truly away from the world. The views are spectacular and we saw lots of animals from the house. There were some fun toys for our kids which was so nice given we’d flown in with limited entertainment options. We would certainly stay here again and recommend it to any friends or family interested in a visit to this area.
