As you enter Estes Park, the view is spectacular. It's hard to imagine a more beautiful place. No wonder it is always on the list of most beautiful mountain towns in the USA.
Just in case you didn't know, Estes Park is the Epi Center of Big Foot Activities. There have been numerous sightings inside and outside the park. We even have a world renowned Big Foot expert living in Estes.

This can save you hundreds of dollars. We usually have everything you need. However, sometimes you might need something special. Luckily, there are lots of places in town that offer rentals. Here is just one example along with current pricing as of 12/2022. There is an excellent sledding hill inside the park. It is just 15 minutes away. It is called Hidden Valley. There are even picnic tables and rest rooms. Just a mile down the road is the YMCA. The offer lots of winter activities including ice skating. Be sure to check on what is happening inside the park.

In fact, the property backs up to the Rocky Mountain National Park. ![]() This photo was taken the same time as the previous photo. It shows the front of the cabin from a different perspective. The Overlook was one of the original homesteads in Estes Park. It is perched on Eagle Cliff Mountain overlooking the valley. ![]() Here is a different view of the home, yard, Outdoor Bar and Gazebo which can barely be seen behind the Outdoor Bar. ![]() Here is another photo of the cabin. It shows the "Love Locks" built into the front wall, the flag pole, and the grassed yard. You wont see any homes behind the Overlook. You will only find forest. ![]() Here is the view from the front porch. The mountain on the right side is Prospect Mountain. This is where the Estes Park Tram runs. You can watch the tram from the front porch, yard, or even the Hot Tub. ![]() Another perspective on the front view. The road that approaches the Overlook is private. It dead ends just past the Overlook. This last few hundred feet of road is slightly steep and can be slippery in winter. This is why we recommend all wheel or four wheel drive in winter. ![]() The master bedroom has a sitting area, bookshelf full of books and games, and a walk in closet. It also has doors that open to a private patio directly off the bedroom. ![]() This is the view out the back door of the Overlook. ![]() This custom Gazebo has a hot tub inside as well as a fireplace. It is private and secluded. ![]() In the winter, the Outdoor Bar magically transforms into Santa's Workshop. If you are lucky, you might spot Santa instructing his Elves. |
