Your perfect home base
You shouldn't have to compromise when booking a vacation rental. A truly great stay means a beautiful home that's well-stocked, well-furnished, and hassle-free. Everything you need is ready — and if you need anything, friendly help is just a text away.
Every bedroom has its own bathroom. Eight beds across the property, sleeps up to ten — privacy for everyone.
Six-burner gas range, full pantry, and the dishware to feed a crowd. Out back: a hot tub tucked into the pines, dark skies overhead.
No neighbors in sight. The Big Thompson runs at the edge of the property. Hike, fish, throw a football — all without leaving the lot.
Estes Park and the gates of Rocky Mountain National Park are a short drive up the canyon. Loveland is 30, DIA is an hour and a half.

What guests say
"This was such a wonderful stay for my friends and I! We came down with 8 people total, and it was the absolute perfect space. Each bedroom had its own en-suite bathroom which was so nice for such a large group. We especially loved walking down to the stream by the road and using the hot tub!"
"From the view while sitting on the deck to the sereneness of the babbling brook, the Roost was spectacular. The drive to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park was close and very easy with gorgeous views all around. The house had all that we needed to feel at home, cook our meals, and just relax."
"What a beautiful home! We were able to cook a whole Thanksgiving dinner in the chef's kitchen and enjoyed a lovely family weekend. It's quiet and clean and luxurious. Also a great house for hide and seek!"
"The views alone were worth the trip — absolutely breathtaking from morning to sunset. Waking up to the mountains every day felt surreal. The sleeping arrangements were perfect for our group: everyone had their own space and their own bathroom. Easy access to nearby hiking trails made our getaway unforgettable."
"This home was everything advertised. Peaceful, mountains, and the sounds of the river. The house was welcoming and well cared for. Casey replied quickly to my questions and check-in was a breeze. The perfect place for family time."
"A great mountain escape with lots of space, bedrooms, and bathrooms for our big family. Great to have a big dinner table for us to gather around. Very cool canyon location a short drive to the town of Estes Park."
"Absolutely loved this place. This house was amazing as was Casey — never had a better experience. Family loved it and we will definitely be back for more family get-togethers. If you ever decide to sell, reach out. That's how much we loved this home."
"Hot tub was awesome and ping pong table, great place with a beautiful view, about 20 minutes from Estes Park. Plenty of bathrooms and comfortable beds."
