About This Home

As of April 2025

Riverfront Vacation Rental!! Downtown Estes Park! This 4 BR, 2 Bath turnkey STR in the heart of Estes sits right on the Big Thompson River with deck spanning out over the water. Lots of space for guests to stretch out both inside and out. Spacious deck and big patio invite you to sit by the river. Gather by the fireplace in the open dining/living room, get some away time in the reading nooks and family/sitting area off the kitchen. Head outside to the big round table for al fresco dinners above the river. Short walk to restaurants, wineries, micro-breweries and shopping. There's a nice park across the river with a jungle gym and grass for playing with your dog. Rocky Mountain National Park is 5 minutes away and the River Walk is a block away and connects with the Estes Lake Trail. And there's a nice fishing hole in the river below the deck so bring your fly and spin-cast rods. This home checks all the boxes: Successful vacation rental. Transferable STR license. Turnkey Investment. A 4-br house on the water! Wow!
