Fish Directly from Cabin

We challenge you to find anywhere to stay that is closer to the river than this classic knotty pine cabin that sleeps 4 comfortably. You can fish just steps from your fully enclosed front porch along the Big Thompson River. Wake up to the gentle sounds of water just feet from your cabin or enjoy evening cocktails as you BBQ the perfect meal in your choice of propane or charcoal grills. This cabin has been fully redecorated for your tasteful Rocky Mountain experience. Stay somewhere where you feel like you are in the mountains, feel as though you have arrived in the great outdoors, feel like a kid again at your Riverside Cabin.

Located approximately 5 minutes to the entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park and 10 minutes from downtown Estes Park, Riverside is part of 13 cabins at Idlewild by the River that were the original workforce housing for the workers that built the infrastructure for the National Park. Be part of Rocky Mountain history and lore when you call this cabin your base camp for your Rocky Mountain Adventures.

We believe in the “everything included” model for your stay with us. Everything from linens, toiletries, spices and your own propane BBQ to make your stay enjoyable. Enjoy Wifi, smart TVs, and a Keurig Coffee maker. There is a community hot tub and a large shoreline for fly fishing or river recreation.

This is a new listing for us but book with confidence as we offer our love it or money-back guarantee. If upon check-in you do not like the cabin for any reason or feel that anything was misrepresented in the listing, we will give you a full refund with no questions asked. This is not a 5-star hotel room. If you are looking for that, we recommend looking at the Stanley Hotel. This is a 5-star experience with the great outdoors in an imperfectly perfect cabin.

We also own the neighboring property called River Spruce so feel free to see our reviews there. We hope you will love this gorgeous classic mountain cabin.
