We know vacations have changed. We'll make sure you're getaway to Johnny lo's 2 is one of the best vacations you and your family will ever have. We love answering any questions you might have when it comes to stuff around the area such as shopping, hiking trails, fishing, rafting, micro-brewing, rmnp, or just cool places to chill. We have horseshoes, rock painting, telescope, floating rafts. And don't forget mother nature. There is always different animals either hanging on the property or walking through, especially in the morning. Just raise your window blinds when you're waking up. You'll have a 50 % chance of seeing something grazing on our front yard.
My one advice to you, is make sure you get all the stuff you need before coming to our home. Because once you get here, you won't want to leave! Come be part of our extended family. Estes Park is the reason why I live in Colorado. It truly is Gods country.
Our three-bedroom, two-bath mountain retreat is the perfect way, to explore the perfect town. Located in Drake and nestled on two acres with panoramic views of Bobcat Ridge and the Rocky Mountain National Park, we are just 12 miles from the center of Estes Park. Johnny Lo’s 2 has something that no other house on the mountain has, and that’s your own private beach. We brought up almost seven tons of sand while we were creating. We recently added a small pool were five adults can relax in comfortably. Our beach is equipped with misters to cool you down when it’s time to "flip over”. There’s five chaise lounge chairs and plenty of space for the kids to play with their toys. So if the guys want to do a little fishing or biking, and the ladies just want to relax and catch up with each other, we’ll know where everybody is. And everybody will be happy!
Our mountain retreat is marijuana friendly and very private. We know you work hard, we want you to play just as hard when you’re lucky enough to get away with friends and loved ones. Don't be afraid to ask me questions.
Right next to our beach, we have our BBQ grill area to cook your ultimate steak. And for relaxing at night, we have a fire-pit equipped with a healthy stack of wood. For all you “starry-eyed” folks, there is a telescope to view our amazing “galaxy”. We just ask you to use caution when using the telescope. If you head out the back door, there is a shaded deck with a comfortable sofa, patio table, and four matching cushioned chairs.
Inside, the kitchen has everything you need to create your mountain masterpiece. It’s equipped with all stainless steel appliances. The living room is real comfy. There are two sofa’s, one a futon if you have an extra guest crash out unexpectedly. There is a 55” tv with Netflix, old school monster stereo set up (we also have Bluetooth), a rocking chair with rocking ottoman, and a gas fire stove for those chilly nights.
The bedrooms all have new queen mattresses, linens, and blankets. The guest bedroom has two queens while the other two bedrooms have a queen size bed in each of them.
Bathrooms are sunny and clean. One has a large walk in shower while the other is a normal tub / shower set up.
Hiking trials, fishing, and Jeep / 4-wheel drive areas, are all close by.
Bring the dogs! We have a $50.00 fee and a $50.00 deposit, per dog, per stay. When you get to our home, you put the money in the "dog me" jar on top of the refrigerator. When you leave, if your dog is good, you take $50.00 back. If your dog is bad, you what to do.
There are plenty of birds, butterflies, and wild flowers on our property if you just want to sit outside and be amazed at mother nature. We even have a little nature trial in the back of our property.
While our Estes Park getaway, Johnny Lo's 2 is going on its seventh year, this will mark our 10th year in the business of helping our guests bring home memories that will last them a life time. Two years ago we closed the doors on our hugely successful bed and breakfast located in the historic art district of downtown Denver. We had eight great years with unbelievable guests. Our third rental property, located in Ft. Myers Beach, was ruined by Hurricane Ian last October, and we longer have our beautiful home to share with our guests. It broke our heart. We were going on our forth year there, and were already booked Christmas to Easter. But we are strong! So not to keep us down, we are opening our newest home to you and yours, in the summer of 2023. Starting on Memorial Day weekend, May 2024, we will be opening our fourth, and newest property to rent called Johnny Lo's Garage! Our second property in Estes Park, which is only one mile from Johnny Lo's 2, is situated on five beautiful acres, and is brand new with two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
One of the unique things about Johnny Lo's Garage is that we will be offering our guests, half day micro-brew tours in one of our three classic cars form the 1960's! So if you need two houses for your getaway, book both of these beautiful properties, and everybody will be happy.
Notes:
1. Please print out directions ahead of time to our mountain
getaway.
2. It would be best to rent a four-wheel drive vehicle during the winter and
early spring.
3. If flying in into DIA, we recommend you take I-25 north to Loveland, then
take Hwy. 34 west to Drake. After you go through Loveland, you will go through the Big Thompson Canyon, which is one of the prettiest stretch of roads you’ll ever drive on. Note to the driver, please keep at least one eye on the road.
4. Before you get to the canyon, stop in Loveland at one of the three supermarkets and load up on food.
5. There are also a number of liquor stores in Loveland to grab some coldness.
5. If you’re hungry for something quick, in Loveland there’s Freddy’s for a great burger, and Arte for the best New York style pizza in Colorado. There are a few micro-breweries in Loveland if you need your thirst quenched as well.
Johnny Lo
