About this property

Cool River#6159 Cabin sets only feet from the Big Thompson River

Cozy cabin in Estes Park - Cool River sits on the Big Thompson River on the edge of Estes Park. Walk to town, shops and restaurants or sit on the deck and enjoy the river view. (this is not a secluded location) This 2 bedroom one bathroom cabin has all the comforts of home with a cozy cabin décor. Relax on one of the many decks and enjoy the cool mornings or the evening breeze.

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.

This home is managed by Rocky Mountains Property Services, a family owned and operated business local to Estes Park.

Rocky Mountain National Park will implement another pilot temporary timed entry permit reservation system from May 23 through October 20, 2025. If you plan on visiting Rocky Mountain National Park during your stay please visit their website for details about reservations.

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.

Great stay!

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 stayed from 12/26/24 - 12/29/24 and just love this place. There were only 3 of us so it was perfect. A short trip but located close to everything especially RMNP.

Great Getaway - close to everything

Read the property description, it's accurate. There is some road noise and music/noise from the restaurant across the river... But don't let that stop you! Great little cabin getaway and very quiet at night and in the morning. Elk and deer love to stop by!

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!

Home away from home

The property has everything and more that vacationers would want. We enjoyed seeing the great decor inside and the deck and neighborhood outside. A family of deer dropped by to say hello. The location is close to the city center, yet feels tucked away, maybe because there were very few other renters nearby at the time. Easy access to RMNP from there. The cabin had a first-class kitchen.

A wonderful cabin that's close to town

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!

Great cabin! 10 minutes to RMNP.

Cabin was cute, clean, and very well stocked. It sits right next to a beautiful river, Unfortunately, the souvenir shop on the other side of the river plays contemporary country from 8 AM to 8 PM And that takes away from the ambience. The location is 15-20 min walkable to the main Estes strip, there’s quite a bit of construction right now, but you can navigate it without much issue. We spent the majority of our time in RMNP, easy to pop into the park multiple times, and get in early. Lots of elk visit the area around the cabin early in the morning and in the evenings. Overall, a great stay!

Perfect location

The cabin is located right on the Thompson River and a close drive to RMNP. I took my 20 YO son for 5 days of hiking, relaxing and golf. The cabin was perfect for us. We ate out most meals, but enjoyed relaxing on the deck listening to the river. It was across the river from the Trading Post, which played music, but we enjoyed it and it wasn’t loud. The road construction downtown was a pain, but manageable. I would definitely rent this cabin again!

Fantastic location

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.
