The living room has a gas fireplace to take the chill off on those cool evenings. The large fully stocked kitchen gives you lots of room to fix your meals unlike your average mountain cabin. (no dishwasher). Gas grill off the back deck and outdoor dining space.

Short walking distance to 2 brewery's, 4 restaurants, family entertainment park and an outdoor air adventure park. All with a river just a few steps from the back deck. There are several cabins together on the edge of a small industrial complex. (storage units mixed with businesses) giving this a more private setting. The cabin does not have A/C, we have natural mountain breezes just like the Stanley Hotel. There is the potential for road noise at times.

This home is fully stocked with bed linens, towels, extra blankets, soaps, shampoo and a good start up supply of paper products.. The kitchen has pots, pans and dishes plus silverware. A standard coffee maker, toaster, blender, crock pot too. A washer and dryer with laundry pods to use.

This is the ideal location for a base camp for those who want to explore Rocky Mountain National Park and Northern Colorado.

Quaint cabin in a great location

Had a wonderful stay here! Decor was charming, was very clean and stocked with almost everything one would need. Plenty of outdoor space, and the best part was the river flowing through the back yard. Location was perfect too, in walking distance to Estes Park town and within 10 min to the National Park entrance. Also within an hour of exploring other towns like Lyons or Boulder. Questions I had to the host were answered immediately. Would definitely stay here again!
