The Overlook is located on the east side of Eagle Cliff Mountain. It is conveniently located next to the original entrance to the Rocky Mountain National Park. It was one of the original farm houses in Estes Park. Behind the property is nothing but Eagle Cliff Mountain and Rocky Mountain National Park. No houses. No Cabins. Just forest and wildlife. There are only a couple of houses/cabins on each side of the Overlook. In front of the Overlook is nothing but a fantastic view of the valley. The Overlook was completely remodeled in 2014 and 2015. It has just recently been made available to the public for short term rentals. It is completely modern, convenient and even luxurious - beyond the original owner's imagination. Homesteaded in the early 1900s, the original 160 acre plot was used for farming, a saw mill and even mining. Although no gold was found, and the farming was an arduous challenge, the location was one of the most scenic in the Estes Valley. Many of the surrounding cabins were once part of the original estate. This includes a neighboring cabin that was once a chicken coop and another that was a Dairy Barn. Today, the neighborhood is mostly a cabin and vacation rental resort area The Overlook is located just above the Valhalla Resort and is adjacent to the Park. Because of the unique, overlook location, the last hundred yards is rather steep. If you don't have four wheel drive, don't stop until you reach the top. If you do stop, it might be hard to get started again. However, don't be too worried. Even the old Stanley Steamers used this road in the early 1900s.
