My wife and I first visited Estes Park on our 5th wedding anniversary some 45 years ago. This week we celebrated our 50th! This was our first visit to Windcliff and I don't think we could have picked a better location nor a better house than Alleman South. This house is everything covered in it's Webpage.....and more.....and better! Upon arriving on the Windcliff properties, we were greeted with a "welcome/information" package by the friendly people at the front office who cautioned us about the "twin bears" alert but never matrialized. The house itself lacked nothing one might expect to find except.....scissors! Immaculate throughout. It was a beautiful home and the owners had left an information package with recommendations on their favorite restaurants and things to do which was helpful. Scenic views from most windows of the mountains. On several occasions during the week, deer would stroll across the yard and vertually "pose" for photos. We loved the quietness of the area. What did we like the least......having to leave this beautiful place but. . . .we shall return.
It's been suggested that you may want to buy your groceries before you drive up to this place as you may never want to come back down. The Inn at Glen Haven (7 miles north of Estes Park is a romatic old restaurant. Friendly people. Meet the owners who have owned this place fo 20 years and who work "hands on". The halibut was truly awesome. The best food we had during our entire nine days there. Not really ideal for children with limited childrens menu $$$$.
