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.

We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. Fantastic kitchen which was well stocked with everything you’d need (or might forget). The place was very comfortable and the location was convenient to downtown. We also appreciated the easy communication with the host
Very clean, cute cabin next to the river. The check in process was easy and the property was well stocked. Nice location and easy to get to town. Little slice of heaven.
We really enjoyed our visit!! This was the cutest little cabin & well stocked. It was chilly while we were there so the fireplace was nice. Such a great back porch with the stream so close you could hear it. Not secluded but really close to town so everything was easy to get to, which we liked!! We would stay here again!!!
We came in to Estes Park for our Anniversary and this cabin was cute & cozy. It was perfectly located close to the park and downtown. Will book again!!
Overall we had a nice stay! The cabin was nice & cozy. It’s very close to the downtown & fun city for kids. The only con was the location can be a lil noisy.
The accommodations were very nice and clean. The location is an easy drive to downtown, restaurants, the lake and the national park. Enjoyed the stream right outside deck. Overall a relaxing time.
We stayed for four nights as part of our honeymoon....the cabin had all that we needed and it was very clean and well kept. We enjoyed being close to town (although the Estes Park traffic and construction was a hot mess). We would definitely stay again!
We loved the cabin and the setting. Everything was well laid out and wonderful amenities. Communication was easy and quick. Easy access to Estes and RMNP
We had a great stay over the thanksgiving holiday. Very easy check in, everything we needed in the kitchen to cook and bathroom had everything we need as well. Perfect location to get to downtown and RMNP! We got to see deer and elk wander the neighborhood!
This cabin was perfect for our little family of 4! It was still decorated for Christmas, which we loved. The beds were comfy, and the location was perfect. The property manager responded to texts promptly, which we appreciated. Well stocked kitchen! We would stay here again.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The cabin is very nice, and nicely appointed! We were here in the middle of winter and it was very quiet and comfortable. The check in with Renee was very easy. I would definitely return in the shoulder seasons.
Cozy cabin perfect for two couples as our base camp for visiting Rocky Mountain National Park. Great to come back and relax on the deck just steps away from the Big Thompson River.
Had an absolute wonderful time! The place was immaculate, kitchen was fully equipped, quiet and perfect place to spend 3 days in Estes! Loved sitting on the deck listening to the river with our morning coffee and our glass of wine in the evening! Would definitely come back!
Away from street traffic, walk out back door to Big Thompson and fishing. May not be a great location for little kids if parents dont keep an eye on them. Great communication with property managers We loved it.
