Montane Luxury Vacation Rental at Windcliff

Larimer County Approval Number: 20-NCD0340

If it's panoramic views, rarified mountain air and comfortable accommodations you're after, Montane at Windcliff is your dream rental home!

Perched at 8,440' of elevation in the private, quiet residential enclave of Windcliff Estates, just outside of the quaint postcard town of Estes Park, Colorado, on the doorstep of Rocky Mountain National Park, Montane is a half duplex (condo) that offers 3 bedrooms and 2-1/2 bathrooms, a 1-car garage and all of the comforts you need to make your family mountain memories year after year.

You'll enter the home through the entryway shared with the attached neighboring duplex, Mountain Time (rent them both together for the ULTIMATE family arrangements!) where you'll enter the living and kitchen area but your yes, heart and soul will be pulled through the windows where snow-capped mountain views of the Continental Divide permeate and dominate your senses. There's an HDTV that you'll very likely forget to notice or even watch as the views take command through the wrap around windows. A wood-burning fireplace stands at the ready should the evening temperatures drop beyond your comfort level. Step through the living and dining area out to the deck for even less obstructed panoramic mountain views. In the prairie below, don't be surprised if you are visited by mule deer, rabbits, raptors, bobcats, black bears, elk or even moose!

Back inside, you'll find everything you need to prepare meals in the well appointed chef's kitchen, eat-in bar for 4 or dining area that comfortably seats 6. Just off the main living area is the primary bedroom with ensuite full luxury bath.

Downstairs you'll find another living area complete with HDTV, billiard table and two more bedrooms for your guests who have shared access to the hall bath and dry sauna. Walk out from the lower living area to the outdoor deck and be eye to eye with the land and in awe of the seemingly endless mountain backdrop.

Montane at Windcliff is just a few miles from the picturesque town of Estes Park and the Beaver Meadow entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. Close enough to be a few minutes from the nearest restaurants, bars, pastry shops, liquor stores, retail shopping and supermarket, but set apart privately from the hustle and bustle during the busier times of the year.

Montane is the ideal vacation home for amenities, comfort, views and making family memories.

Amazing views of the Rockies

We stayed at this property for a birthday celebration. We had 4 adults and lots of space! The views are stunning from this property. Perfect to see the mountains. The house is really well decorated and has every amenity you could want and some more. The kitchen is really well stocked for cooking meals. It is a steep road leading up to the house so be prepared. We would definitely stay again. Had a wonderful time.

Highly recommend!

We loved this property and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again on the next trip. We loved the location, but if you are squeamish about heights, there are a number of twists and turns going up the mountain to get to the house. But the view was unbelievable from the property. We loved the location which gave the illusion of being secluded, but was only a short drive to get to RMNP and downtown Estes Park. We look forward to our next trip and stay at this home!

Absolutely breathtaking!

I have never, ever had a stay like this! Once you make it up the winding road, you never want to leave! The views are spectacular! The mountain air is crisp and clean and the only sounds you hear are the birds and the wind rustling the Aspen leaves! Everything is top notch. The beds, shower, linens etc are perfect. I could go on and on, but I won't. 10 out of 10! Thank you so much for the beautiful accommodations!

Great views!

The house is beautiful and the views are beautiful. Make sure you look in all the rooms when you first get there. Check for damage of any kind and report it. Otherwise you won’t get your deposit back even if something wasn’t your fault.

Treehouse Mountain Views

Incredible property. Hands down the best VRBO experience I have had. Clean, well stocked and mountains everywhere! Stayed here with my wife, young child and in laws and there was plenty of space for all of us. Pro’s and con’s: + Views!! + Build quality of cabin + Space inside and outside + Short drive to RMNP and shopping + Beds are really nice, best sleep I’ve had in a while. + Two balconies - Driveway is very steep and can be tricky to get into - Duplex. Although the neighbors are very nice people and quiet. Overall a winner. If you want peace and quiet in the mountains this is the place for you.

Perfection in the Rockies

Sometimes, the photos for these listings make the rental look better than it is in person. That is not the case for Windcliff Estates. The home is bigger and more beautiful than we ever could've imagined. The views, the amenities, and the close proximity to both downtown Estes Park and the Rocky Mountain National Park make this property perfect for a mountain getaway. Dianna is the ideal host. There in a moment's notice when needed yet perfectly absent when not. Sometimes, rental properties feel like they belong to someone else when you use them, but that is not the case here. Dianna has created a serene, Rocky Mountain inspired lodge-like experience that felt all our own for the duration of our stay. We will be back for sure.

Comfortable and gorgeous home!

We were so lucky to have found this home for our vacation. The home exceeded every one of our expectations. Not only did it provide gorgeous views and a convenient location to the park and to town, but it was also was immensely comfortable. The furnishings were great, the showers/sauna/whirlpool were unbelievably relaxing after a full day of hiking, and the pool table was a great way to pass the time on snowy evenings. Besides the house being fantastic, the owners were wonderful to deal with. They made it easy to get into the house, left clear instructions, provided a list of favorite restaurants in town, checked on us throughout our stay through email to see if we needed anything, and were always available if we had any questions. This house felt like home while we were in the mountains and we felt incredibly lucky to have the privilege to stay there. My family has been renting homes in Windcliff for years and we have agreed that this is the one we will be coming back to in the future! Thank you again for allowing us to stay in your gorgeous home!

Fabulous vacation in RMNP!

We enjoyed a wonderful stay in this Unit. Everyone in our family agreed this was the cleanest, nicest, well stocked, tastefully decorated rental any of us have ever been to. As soon as we walked through the front door the place smelled fresh and clean. The place was spotless. The kitchen was well stocked with excellent quality cookware and dinnerware. The owners left us a welcome note with a bottle of our favorite wine… how they guessed that, I’ll never know. Dianna was responsive regarding any questions or issues.. During the end of our stay RMNP got 9-12 inches of snow which we were not expecting in May and Dianna got right back to me when I expressed concern over plowing the roads which are BTW, well maintained. We had no problem driving out of RMNP.. and actually, it was BEAUTIFUL! This trip was a chance for our family to get together, spend some quality time together and celebrate my birthday.. I can easily state that all of us would return in a heartbeat. The jet tub, sauna and steam shower were a bonus too. Everything top of the line in terms of quality. We all felt Blessed to be in such a well cared for environment. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable vacation.

Spectacular!

The home was so beautifully decorated with extremely comfortable beds, plenty of comfortable seating, decks for relaxing and the kitchen had all we needed to cook several meals in. Perfect for our group of 5. We played a couple rounds of pool too. The views were incredible! We felt like we were in the RMNP! Great location for park entrance and downtown Estes Park. Dianna and Jon were great hosts and we could tell they wanted us to feel very welcomed and to enjoy their property! Would highly recommend!

This is an amazing place. The views are great and very relaxing. Very clean and well decorated. Only minor negative is that it is shared building so it's not 100% private when sitting out on the balcony.

We wanted somewhere to relax after a day of hiking or exploring and feel like we were still part of the mountains. This home was a perfect fit!! We loved our mountain range backdrop while we ate dinner, played games, or relaxed on the deck. Everything went smoothly from checkin to checkout , and we are already planning a trip to return again

Quiet Getaway

The property was immaculate, I rent a lot of houses for vacation and this was the cleanest one yet. Great location to Rocky Mountain National park as well as the town of Estes Park. All of the towels, pans, dishes etc. we’re better quality then most rental houses. Open layout and wonderful view of the mountains. I would recommend to future visitors. One piece of minor feedback is that I would have regular cable instead of streaming. I had a hard time finding current programming. Yes I know I am on vacation and I should be doing other things however I like to watch first thing in the morning and right before I go to bed. Overall great rental, I would rent again if I come back!
