Cozy Mountain Home with Great Views, Deck & WiFi

Winter Travel Notes

Winter stays are a cozy and memorable way to experience the mountains!

After a day outdoors, the fireplace offers warmth and charm, making the cabin feel like a true retreat.

Snow typically doesn’t linger long here—it falls and melts quickly.

For safer travel during snowy conditions, 4WD or AWD vehicles are recommended. Roads are plowed once 4 inches of snow have fallen, though the driveway and cabin stairs aren’t regularly cleared—shovels are available at the base of the stairs if needed.

If a major snowfall is expected, I’ll work with you to reschedule if necessary—I want you to truly enjoy your stay and will do my best to make that happen.

*************************************

Escape to Big Elk Meadows in Roosevelt National Forest. This cozy mountain home offers breathtaking views, reliable Wi-Fi, and room for up to four guests.

Explore 600 acres of trails, fish in stocked lakes, or unwind on the deck while enjoying crisp mountain air and spotting wildlife. Just 30 minutes from Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park, it’s the perfect blend of mountain adventure and modern comfort.

The space

You'll be staying at an elevation of 7,550 feet, surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery.

The home has two bedrooms—one with a California King bed and one with two twin beds.

From the deck, enjoy views of Mt. Audubon, Thunderbolt Peak, St. Vrain, and Meadow Mountains.

Hike up the mountain behind the house and you’ll be rewarded with views of Long’s Peak (one of Colorado’s famous 14ers), Mount Meeker (13,916 feet), and many others.

Community & Outdoor Amenities

The community spans 600 acres of scenic land you’re free to explore, including six stocked lakes—all within walking distance of the home.

No Colorado fishing license is required, but a membership badge is needed. If you’d like to fish, I’ll provide a badge and can supply poles upon request.

Wildlife sightings are common, though never guaranteed. Past visitors (and our cameras!) have spotted bears, moose, elk, bobcats, bighorn sheep, turkeys, bald eagles, and even a mountain lion near the house.

Guests also enjoy a variety of recreation options: tennis and pickleball courts, a small basketball court, and a horseshoe pit.

The community pool is typically open from Memorial Day through Labor Day, though exact dates may vary.

Interested in experiencing mountain living for an extended stay?

Extended fall and winter rentals available (1–3 months) with fiber optic internet for fast, reliable connectivity.

Enjoy the peace and quiet of the Rockies while staying connected.

Great Location for Visit to RMNP

We really enjoyed our stay at this vacation rental. The home was clean and well equipped for our family of four. The location allowed us to conveniently visit RMNP, Estes Park, and Lyons, while being able to enjoy quiet and solitude in the evening when returning to the house. We had excellent communication with the owner, who responded promptly to question and provided helpful information for our stay. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Mountain Getaway

We had a great trip and really enjoyed this vacation rental. This is part of a small private community hidden in the mountains. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a remote location in the Rockies that is also very modern, clean, with all the conveniences of home. Beautiful view from the deck. Cory was a wonderful host and checked in with us a couple times to make sure everything was okay.

Lovely place

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Elk Meadow. It was peaceful and quiet and the place is quite nice. We enjoyed sitting out on the porch to watch the sunset. I must say that I appreciate the fact that they have an a/c available. We only needed it one night but appreciate that it was available. The drive into Estes Park is beautiful and easy to make. The drive into the meadow from the main road is also a nice ride. We would definitely stay here, again.

Fantastic host and cabin!

From our first contact with Cory, everything was outstanding. He made the entire process completely simple and stress free. Cory was so helpful and kind, and his email check ins were appreciated! The cabin was well stocked, super clean and we absolutely loved the peaceful location. It was so quiet! Our vacation was everything we hoped it would be, and a lot of that was due to Cory’s care he puts into his cabin and guests. Thank you again, Cory! We can’t wait to return!
