Fully fenced yard! ******* THANK YOU! ******* Onward! Thanks for checking out the west apartment in my newly remodeled duplex, just a few blocks from downtown. It's got 1 queen bed and a queen air mattress, sleeping a max of four (though two is the suggested limit). It's super close to Lake Estes, so you can take a nice evening stroll as the sun sets. My home is an ever-evolving arthouse and will for many years be a work in progress; our friend Wade, a celebrated local muralist, will slowly be turning the walls into gallery space for his black and white line drawings and murals of the animals and landscapes of the National Park. Not only will there be hung art, but he'll be painting murals on the walls themselves. The first mural is a 5' tall black and white eagle in the media room, which you can see in the photos. The location of my place is perfect -- you can explore great restaurants, breweries and taco joints after you've hiked, skied or climbed all over Rocky Mountain National Park. The park entrance is about 10 minutes away, and within blocks are ball fields, the event center, a local pump bike track, skate park, the rec center (spa, pool, basketball courts and weight room), and much more. My favorite brewery, Lumpy Ridge Brewing (partly by Wade, who also draws all the can labels) is just up the street. You will love its cleanliness and bohemian feel. I recently renovated every surface, resulting in: + New paint and flooring throughout + New bathroom (shower, flooring, vanity) + Updated kitchen with new appliances + Fun lighting and eclectic accents throughout + A large smart TV with lots of streaming options, + Super fast WiFi with no dead zones SLEEPING My home offers a 1 cozy queen bedroom on the back side of the building (super quiet!) plus sleeping for two more on a queen air mattress. EATING There's a small dining seating two between the kitchen and bedroom. LIVING & ENTERTAINMENT Media Room -There's a brand new 4K smart TV with Roku in the media room. Log into your favorite streaming service. Netflix, Amazon Prime, Sling, Hulu, etc. WiFi - My home employs a mesh WiFi network with no dead zones. A strong 600Mbps connection will allow you to stream and work without any issues. LAUNDRY & COOKING Kitchen - The kitchen has everything you need to cook, including a full stove and oven, fridge and freezer, and assortment of pots and pans. My brand new knives are sharp (dull knives are a pet peeve!). There are cutting boards, wine glasses, coffee mugs, and a drip coffee maker. Laundry - The home offers a full size washer and dryer that you are free to use.

Please be respectful of your noise level so I can maintain good relationships with my neighbors and renters on the other side of the duplex. NONPAYING GUESTS Nonpaying/non-registered guests are not allowed on property. NO AIR CONDITIONER Estes has a mild mountain climate in the summers but from time to time it can get hot. Like nearly every other home in town, there’s no A/C. The cool evening breeze will cool the home down quickly. MINUT We use a Minut noise meter. It doesn't record audio, but instead monitors decibel levels, temperature and humidity. This is for the safety of guests & to protect the home. It also serves to warn us about parties & prevent noise complaints from neighbors. It's located on the ceiling in the living room.
