From one of our guests (Somerset, England):
'We spent a fantastic week in this home. The house itself is excellent in terms of location, setting, decor and equipment with many thoughtful touches that added to the overall quality of our stay. The bedrooms are spacious, the den is excellent for children wanting their own space and the lounge and dining room make for a relaxed setting for a holiday. The house setting is picturesque whilst it is well located in relation to Estes Park...I wholeheartedly commend this home to anyone wishing to visit Colorado.'

The AlpineHaus is situated in the quiet, gated Blue Spruce Village Victorian community that has the Big Thompson River running through it and is ¼ mile outside the Estes Park city limits. The Rocky Mountain National Park Beaver Meadows Visitor Center and Park Headquarters are two miles from our vacation home and it is just a five minute drive to downtown Estes. The AlpineHaus is only ¼ mile from the original early 1900's entrance to the Park and a trailhead that leads to the Bear Lake/Moraine Park area, on the edge of the YMCA of the Rockies Conference and Activity Center.

Our three-level townhome has 2200 square feet of living space. The main level offers a greatroom with a stone fireplace (gas burning) and opens to a deck with a picnic table and gas grill. Oak wainscoting and large windows adorn the greatroom and separate dining area with a large dining table. The fully-equipped kitchen and dining area have wood floors adding to the warmth and charm of this beautiful home. The main level greatroom also has a TV. Elk, an occasional bear and other wildlife often frequent our neighborhood.

The upper level has three large bedrooms and a loft area with a game/puzzle table. The primary bedroom has a king-size pine log bed and furnishings with a large bay window and jetted whirlpool tub in its private bathroom. The second bedroom also has a pine log queen bed and furnishings, two dormered windows and a private entrance to the second full bath (which also opens to the loft/hall area to share with the third bedroom). The third bedroom has a queen sized bed and a twin sized bed and dormered windows - perfect for a third couple or children. Our property is to the Larimer County Short-Term Rental regulations and our property is allowed a maximum of 8 guests (there are beds for 7 individuals).

The walkout lower level has a recreation room great for kids young and old with a TV, a video game (arcade sized - no quarters needed), and patio area.

Walk fifty yards to the Big Thompson River for fly-fishing and relaxation. While our home is not directly on the river, the river runs through our private community and all owners and guests have access to common areas with picnic tables and seating areas.

Our property has high speed WiFi - bring your laptop with wireless card if you need to check in at work occasionally or just want to surf the Net for various events going on in Estes and Rocky Mountain National Park while on vacation. Or perhaps you'll want to check the weather forecast prior to departing for a climb up Long's Peak!

The following are just a few more of the comments from our guest registry:
“It was great to come ‘home’ to this beautiful home each day. We travel the mountains every summer, and this is the best place we have ever stayed at!”

“One of the nicest places we have ever stayed in! You have a lovely home.”

'What a surprise to walk in your beautiful home!! Booking it on the internet was a bit scary but as soon as the door was opened, you could feel the warmth! A gorgeous setting and close to shopping, hiking and sightseeing. Can't wait to come back again!'

“We had a lot of wildlife here with a bear the first morning, deer and a fawn, beautiful birds…”

    This home was absolutely fabulous. We had so much room for everyone to move around and have their own space. But also areas we could all hang out. This house will be my go to place everytime. The host made sure everything was perfect.

    Our family group (parents and 20something kids) had an excellent stay! The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for breakfast before a day in the park and dinner afterwards. Our group had plenty of space in the 3 bedrooms. The proximity to RMNP was outstanding!! Highly recommend

    Don't look any further. You can't beat this value AND experience! Hosts are fantastic, friendly & caring communicators who demonstrate authentic hospitality, making sure you are comfortable and then some! Better than photos! Full kitchen, amazing rec room for ALL ages, home has fans, laundry baskets, extra bedding & towels, laundry...truly home away from home. A pack n play is available in a closet if needed & comfy beds! My sister got married during our trip and there were tons of coat hangers, & an iron/ironing board. Location is quiet and beautiful, 4 minutes to Park entrance and 8 minutes to center of town. Gorgeous home - I wished it was my house - it very much felt like home. CLEANER THAN CLEAN - much cleaner than any hotel or VRBO I've ever stayed at. We had a shower curtain rod that came down a few times - my husband saw it was cracked which was preventing it from staying up well when the kids moved the curtains... and while we didn't mind or find it urgent or necessary to remedy during our stay, the host delivered a new one very quickly and my husband put it up. We were a family of five with kids ages 5-11, and my parents also stayed with us. We managed parking with a minivan and SUVUhaul trailer with care but had no issues! Yesterday morning a huge bull elk was bedded down on the neighbors back porch 15 feet from us and we almost never saw it but glad we did. Highest praises here. Choose this one; you will be so thankful! Conrad and Kathy are THE best.

    This was our first VRBO booking and I cannot think of a single thing that could have been better. Prior to booking, Conrad and Kathy were available for any questions I had. We traveled with our 4 kids, 7, 5, 2, 1. Not only did we have a baby bed (pack and play with new sheets) set up upon arrival, but also also a seat for the baby at the table. The kids loved that there were arcade games downstairs as well as a few toys to play with. The house was stocked with all necessities. Location is great and super close to RMNP entrance. Having never booked a VRBO before, I was nervous, but the communication was fantastic. I would definitely stay there again.

    We loved our stay in this comfortable, roomy home. You can enjoy the sound of the river from the balcony, or view the stars. The house is perfectly located away from the crowds of downtown Estes Park, but still close to the entrance to RMNP. The house is well-supplied and very clean. Highly recommend it!

    This property was by far the best place we have stayed. We go somewhere every summer. This property felt like home and the communication with the owners was fantastic. We had everything we needed. All supplies were provided from shampoo, body wash, towels, to laundry detergent. House was very clean. The pictures did not do the home justice.

    The property was perfect for our family (6 adults and two grandkids). The 3 floors was wonderful so that individuals could be together or have their own space. The grandkids loved the toys, and the kitchen table and picnic table on the deck was used for playing card and board games. It was the perfect distance to drive to RMNP (which we did for 4 days) and Estes Park (2 days). Conrad did a great job of communicating to us prior to our visit and during our visit, making sure that we had no questions. When mentioning to him prior to our visit that we were going to use the bedroom with the queen and twin to also have a pack-n-play, he set up the pack-n-play in advance without being asked. I totally would recommend this place for other families to stay.
