About this property

Breathtaking River Front Cabin at RMNP with Hot Tub

You can’t stay any closer to the river because it is no longer allowed. Modern Rustic year-round 2-bedroom cabin on the edge of Thompson River just minutes from the Beaver Meadows entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park and downtown Estes Park. Fish steps from your front door.

Imagine waking up in the morning to the gentle sound of a river in front of your cabin while the sun shines through the pine trees and the wind serenades your arrival in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Sip on your hot coffee or tea as you snuggle in front of the fireplace or your front porch depending on the season as you await for your family to awaken from their slumber. Listen to the bacon frying while you prepare pancakes or French toast as your hungry bears awaken before a day of exploring Rocky Mountain National Park. Welcome to the “Bear Den”.

Slow down and introduce your loved ones to the outdoors and the simple pleasures of life as your parents and grandparents once did for you.

This location was phenomenal! The river was melodic and so relaxing! The cabin is perfect, cozy and comfortable. Close to downtown but far enough away to feel like you're deep in nature :) Really easy access to the National Park!

Cabin was what we expected. Terrific location to Estes and to RMNP. Staff was responsive and friendly. Communication very good all around. Only complaint was the shower water was either very hot or very cold - this was due to the water temp nobs not working correctly.

Girls Trip

Our cozy cabin was the best escape from our everyday lives. We explored the Rocky Mountains, ate great food and rested at night in the well maintained hot tub.

Wonderful cabin at the footsteps of RMNP

Wonderful cabin right near the entrance to RMNP. The management team does a great job taking care of its guests. The sounds of the river just steps from the cabin door and the peaceful surroundings made this a great spot our family enjoyed. Did I mention it’s minutes to the park?🙂. 10 out of 10 would stay again.

First time in Estes

This property was in a great location by the river. Things we enjoyed about our stay were the location, the jacuzzi, firepit, designated parking, and ease of checking in/management communication. This cabin is definitely older and could use some updates. It wasn't super intuitive trying to figure out some of it's quirks like heating/cooling, the TV, and hot water. The cabin is small but cozy and it was a nice place to end our day after exploring. For our first time in Estes park this place did the trick.

Perfect cabin on the Big Thompson River. Remotely quiet while being just a few minutes drive to restaurants/bars/shopping. Friendly and helpful staff! Got married on the side of a mountain off Switzerland Trail :)

Relaxing Family Getaway

Fun and cozy cabin, stocked with all the essentials for a great stay! We were well taken care of from booking through check out. The fire pit was a fun addition and nothing beats a hot tub soak after a day in RMNP. We had a great time and are definely planning a return trip in the summer. Great job River Spruce team!

Winter Wonderland

We were privileged to see the transition from fall to winter with a beautiful snowfall. The cabin was cozy and perfect. RMNP was like being in a winter snow globe. It was the perfect time to visit if you want to experience a Christmas like setting without crowds.

It couldn’t be more PERFECT!

This cabin is not just a cabin- it’s an EXPERIENCE! We sat by the river and soaked up the sunshine. Cooked our steaks on a propane grill that was clean and ready for action. We sat by our own little bonfire and and looked at the amazing views. We also cuddled up next to the fireplace stove that was instant ambiance with the flip of a switch. Every detail was thought of. There were coffee pods waiting for us, spices, adorable mugs, the cutest decorations and everything felt like I was at HOME! N the early morning we sat in the hot tub and drank coffee and listened to the river. It was all fantastic. I don’t have enough words to tell you that I wish we could stay forever! They even have carts to load your luggage on to bring to your cabin and nightlights in all the best spots!

Most perfect accommodations ever!

This cabin and everything that goes with it was absolutely incredible! We didn't want to go home! It's clean, has comfortable beds, peaceful, and the hot tub was a fabulous touch! The location is perfect! Close to downtown and to Rocky Mountain National Park. We will definitely return!
