Nestled among whispering aspens and set against the breathtaking backdrop of Rocky Mountain National Park, Lazy Elk Retreat is your perfect alpine escape. This charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath mountain home blends cozy rustic vibes with modern-day comforts—inviting you to unwind, explore, and make unforgettable memories.
From the moment you arrive, a sense of peace washes over you as you stroll down the welcoming path to your home-away-from-home. The first of three outdoor patios greets you, offering the perfect spot to breathe in the crisp mountain air with your morning coffee or evening wine.
Step inside and be embraced by the bold, rustic charm of the open-concept great room, complete with a warm gas fireplace, soaring beamed ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and oversized windows that flood the space with natural light. Sink into the stylish mountain-chic furnishings and stream your favorite movies on the large flat-screen TV (streaming only), or curl up with a good book as snowflakes drift outside.
The fully-equipped kitchen is a dream for home cooks, featuring double ovens, stainless steel appliances, and vintage touches that give it unique character. Gather around the rustic dining table for meals made with love, or slide open the glass door to enjoy alfresco dining under the aspens on the second patio. Don’t be surprised if wild turkeys or deer wander by while you sip your coffee at the breakfast bar.
With space to comfortably sleep up to 8 guests, the Lazy Elk is perfect for families or friends. The bedrooms offer peaceful rest: a Queen in the first, a spacious King suite with private patio access in the second, and a charming third bedroom with a twin daybed + trundle—ideal for kids or extra guests. Two full bathrooms and an in-home washer/dryer add convenience to your stay.
After a day of hiking, snowshoeing, or exploring downtown Estes Park—just 2 miles away—return home to relax under the stars, fire up the BBQ, or cozy up with a blanket and a glass of wine.
Whether you're chasing snowy adventures or sunny trails, Lazy Elk Retreat is your gateway to the best of the Rockies.
