Our lovely mountain home is in the Aspen Brook neighborhood, which nearly borders Rocky Mountain National Park. You can hike out the front door of our home and be inside the park in a few minutes by foot, wandering along the banks of the Big Thompson River into Beaver Meadows, a vast grassland surrounded by big mountains. It`s a huge elk grazing and breeding area, so wildlife abound around our home.

The property is close to all the attractions -- just a few minutes by car to the Rocky Mountain National Park Visitor Center, Beaver Meadows Entry Station (for vehicles), and to downtown Estes Park. The best food in town at Bird and Jim is about a mile away.

Our family-friendly home has a king maser suite, two queen bedrooms, an open living/dining area, and a basement with a game room, reading nook, pool table, piano, and a pullout sofa in front of a cozy fireplace.

The neighborhood is a quiet, safe and upscale HOA with classic modern mountain homes. It features a picnic area, common area along the river, plus a playground for kids.

The HOA has additional rules that we have to abide by: no pets; no RVs/trailers/motorcycles; no smoking even outside; and 9pm-8am evening quiet hours.

This home is in the lovely Aspen Brook HOA, a collection of homes on the banks of the Big Thompson River. The HOA common land offers several hundred feet of river to fish in, but you can also simply walk across Highway 66, about a block away, and head into the National Park to fish in Moraine Park. Getting there is about a 20 minute hike.

The HOA has some important rules: no motorcycles, ATVs, trailers or RVs. We have neighborhood quiet hours from 9pm to 8am. No pets of any kind, and absolutely no smoking in the entire neighborhood.

There is a neighborhood picnic area and play area for kids.

Within 1.5 miles are the two best restaurants in Estes Park (Bird & Jim and the Rock Inn) or drive a few miles down 66 (past the YMCA of the Rockies) to Portal Campground and great hiking without the crowds.

One of the greatest features of this neighborhood is its proximity to the National Park. Just a short walk from your doorstep, you can immerse yourself in the natural beauty as the park boundary is only a couple of blocks away. Additionally, if you prefer driving, you won`t have to endure the bustling downtown traffic to reach the park entry station since the home is conveniently located on the west side of town.

Should you feel like exploring downtown without the hassle of parking, you`re in luck. During the summer months, the town provides a complimentary shuttle service. With a stop located approximately one and a half miles away, you can easily hop on the shuttle and enjoy a stress-free trip to the vibrant heart of the city.
