The lower level bedroom can accommodate 2 guests and a full bath is available. There is an additional bath on the main level.
All bedrooms are furnished with soft linens, cozy comforters, and pillows. Included in the bathrooms are large plush towels and luxurious toiletries (shampoo/conditioner, body wash, lotions and hair dryers).

Weather :
Mountain weather in Colorado can change many times during the day without notice or warning. We enjoy sunny days and cool evenings almost daily. Plan layers just in case. We are located off a State Highway , which is plowed almost immediately during snowfall. In the winter months (Nov-April) it is suggested you drive a snow worthy vehicle and allow yourself extra time so you can enjoy your trip to Estes Park.
