A Mountain Valley Home Bed and Breakfast

We have stayed here twice now with great experiences both times. Each time we stayed in the same room on the second floor. Amazing bed, huge jacuzzi tub and peaceful. We were married here and returned on our five year anniversary. Each time I felt like i was staying in a relatives home. I was we’ll taken care of and could request anything I wanted. One evening I felt like popcorn with a movie but we didn’t want to leave to go buy popcorn. So I went downstairs to find the host, Chris, and asked if he had any. He searched the pantry and found some kernels and offered to make it for me. He hosted a relaxed intimate wine tasting between the three couples staying there on a Friday evening which was wonderful. The breakfast’s were fabulous every time and everything is always spotless. I can’t speak more highly of this bnb and wish Paul and Lynn all the best in Arizona.

Mountain Valley Home B&B is one of the best places we have stayed! We usually try to stay in B&B’s for the experience and hospitality, plus uniqueness. This place is so cute! We had the entire downstairs to ourselves for one of the nights we stayed and took advantage of the 6 person hot tub, plus cozy living room area as well to watch some football. Super hospitable and fun to talk to — plus a very tasty breakfast is prepared daily for you. I had arranged for champagne and chocolates for my husband as it was his birthday we were celebrating and this had also been our first trip to Estes Park. The location is just outside of town so perfect in and out, plus close to Rocky Mountain National Park. This place is actually for sale, fully furnished as well. I hope the new owners are just as amazing!
BTW — the bed we slept in had THE softest sheets EVER. In fact, we purchased some for our house!

My husband and I just spend a long weekend here and it was, in short, amazing. We stayed in the Mountain View room. The bed was HUGE and amazingly comfortable. The jacuzzi tub was plenty large enough for two people and was such a nice perk. The breakfasts were nothing short of wonderful. I’ve never been a big eggs fan but Paul’s eggs benedict have made me a believer. We stayed three nights and had three wonderful breakfasts. Paul and Lynn are wonderful hosts and really made us feel comfortable. It was sort of like just being at home… except like a way better version of home. In addition to everything, this was our first B&B experience and we had no idea what to expect. Our expectations were far exceeded. Thank you so much Paul and Lynn! We definitely plan to come back.

My husband and I stayed here on an overnight trip to Estes Park due to rave reviews. However, we really weren’t that impressed. The B&B is in a residential neighborhood. Their website claims there are fantastic views and wildlife and so on — our room was in the basement and our view was the driveway. The «views» were of other houses and some tree-​covered hills, nothing you can’t see everywhere else in town.
The place is cozy, but almost too familiar — it felt like we were invading someone’s home. I’ve stayed at plenty of B&Bs and have never felt that way before. Our room was ok — the TV was small and the bed was rather uncomfortable.
All of that aside, I gave this place two stars because of breakfast. Most of the reviews raved about Paul’s cooking — we had croissant French toast with a Bananas Foster sauce. It was good, but not amazing, and the portion was small. I can fix the same thing myself, we were both rather underwhelmed. The worst part, however, was after cooking, Paul and Lynn sat down at the table with us and proceeded to dominate the conversation. They bragged about themselves for awhile, all the wonderful things they’ve done and how amazing their B&B is — and then they gossiped about past guests! Even if they didn’t give names, it was very unprofessional. We won’t return.

My husband and I love this place! We’ve been coming here since 2007 for special occasions and always have a wonderful stay. Saturday nights they have a tasting of lovely Colorado wines. We love the rooms with the jacuzzi tub, but they also have a hot tub. Last visit we sat out on the landing for breakfast and watched the deer graze in the yard. Amazing! Great hospitality, worth every penny and breakfast is amazing. We will keep coming back!

A weekend get away for me and hubby! Although, I was leary because it is in a neighborhood, I quickly forgot about it once we entered. We loved it here. The rooms are well decorated, great bedding, huge coffee and tea selection — just tons of accomodations and breakfast brought to your room (and not ridiculously early 9:30 am — to allow for me to sleep in). Ahhh, heaven.
Our room had a jacuzzi tub that was wonderful. The breakfasts are gourmet. Be ready for the cold in the winter… the tile floors and bathroom were freezing all the time! It would take them over the top if they had robes for use.
I can’t wait to return.

My boyfriend and I stayed at this place during the week in early August for two days. Our stay at the Mountain Valley Home Bed and Breakfast was sandwiched between the stale bread of our Brooklyn apartment and a stint at a campsite in Rocky Mountain National Park. I don’t mind stale bread, but needless to say, it was refreshing to enjoy the pastrami, nay, the prosciutto if you will, of this delightful bed and breakfast inn. Enough with the sandwich metaphor.
But really, staying at the Mountain Valley Home B & B felt less like hotel accommodations and more like enjoying the home we could have if we made $ 50,000 more a year. The owners, Paul and Lynn, greeted us warmly when we arrived and promptly gave us a tour of the accommodations. A Mountain Valley Home offers six different suite-​style rooms, ranging in price from $ 169/​night to $ 239. We stayed in the Deer Trail room, a beautiful suite complete with a king-​size four-​poster bed, Jacuzzi bathtub, and a sitting area if we wanted to enjoy our breakfast in our room. From chatting with Paul, we discovered that he handles the cooking, cleaning, and household repairs while Lynn keeps the books and decorates the place. And what a job she has done. Our suite felt homey and relaxing – not in that over-​the-​top country style but in a tasteful, sophisticated sense.
In addition to the amenities provided in their suites, guests at A Mountain Valley Home have free use of a fully-​stocked kitchen and living room (we made use of the Scrabble board and wine glasses), a patio with plenty of furniture and a grill, and, to top it all off, complimentary wine tasting in the inn’s own wine tasting room. Paul hosts a modest but interesting wine tasting that includes whites, reds, and dessert wines made exclusively in Colorado. We savored the Riesling, Syrah, and Port, finally deciding to purchase a delicious bottle of the Syrah for just $ 16.
Breakfast is served every morning at 8:30 a. m, with a coffee and tea bar opening around 7:30. Breakfast always begins with some sort of refreshing fruit/​yogurt/​granola combination. Once you’re finished with your last bite of fresh blackberries or kiwi, Lynn comes to deliver your breakfast. Oh. My. God. Paul’s breakfasts are AMAZING. We enjoyed an eggs-​benedict-​style dish called eggs Pettigrew – a delicious poached egg with a savory hollandaise sauce, tomato, avocado, ham, and crumbled hard-​boiled egg yolk all atop a perfectly-​toasted croissant. On our second morning we had a quiche-​style dish similar to eggs Florentine. Both items were superb, and kept us full for most of the day.
If you’re going to Rocky Mountain National Park and would like a romantic getaway type of place, definitely make a reservation at A Mountain Valley Home (don’t bring your kids!).You will be welcomed graciously, eat like a king, and will have a mountain paradise in which to relax after those long hikes in the park.
