About Desra McDonald
A recent empty nest couple from Arizona with a thirst for adventure yearned for somewhere they could get back to nature, as a retreat from their busy professions, with visions dancing in their heads of bring their family together for hikes and holidays….. when their long time Colorado friends called about partnering on owning a real log cabin (already renovated for full time living) , next to Rocky Mountain Wilderness…. WOW, they were intrigued but once they saw this log cabin home in the mountains above Estes Park with the cascading creek flowing out back, they were enchanted and are now living happily ever after as partners sharing this dream with families & friends from all parts of the world.
Desra McDonald purchased this cabin in 2015

The perfect cabin
If you find yourself daydreaming about living in the perfect cozy mountain cabin, complete with scenic hiking, a kitchen capable of cooking home cooked meals, a rushing creek, and the cutest town to stroll about, this is your place. Not only that, but the owners went above and beyond for us. You see, the day before we were set to arrive, a huge snow storm (like 40 inches worth of snow) blew through, but Desra was in touch with us the whole time and even hiked in to the cabin to get paths shoveled and the cabin ready for us. Needless to say, we can't wait to visit again.
Will go back!
Jack and Desra are one of a kind souls! They went above and beyond what anyone could imagine to make our stay memorable. From keeping in touch from the moment we booked our stay to the moment we departed to head home. They even welcomed us with a note and the best sugar cookies I've ever had. They're so good I MAY have a slight addiction to them...(lol).
The cabin is perfect. It's clean, rustic and beautiful! We can't praise it enough. Another bonus is the cabin is only a short drive from Estes Park and the RMNP so if you want to have a day outing there is plenty to keep you busy!
Although, if you would like to stay in and cozy on up, light a fire, put in a good movie and snuggle up on the couch. There are more than enough heat sources in the cabin to keep you warm during the snowy times of year and if you get too toasty open up a couple windows to bring in that clean and crisp mountain fresh air.
On another note, the first night that we were there my husband came down with a stomach bug. This is where my "above and beyond" statement comes in..Jack brought us some medicine and some 7-Up. Can you imagine? How wonderful! My husband, Taylor, was up and running in no time at all and we were back to having our adventures.
We highly recommend staying at Jack and Desra's Cascading Creek Log Cabin. You won't be sorry! We will be telling our friends and family all about it and hoping to one day return.
P.S. There are some pretty great ATV trails around the cabin as well. We brought our six-wheeler up with us and made a fun day out of exploring some of the mountains. So fun!! :)
Amazing cabin!!!!
What a wonderful cabin!!!! Centrally located to some really great trails, Estes Park and Boulder. Cabin was well stocked. Plenty of space for the entire family! Desra and Jack welcomed us upon arrival and made the cabin feel like home. Our Labs loved the place, plenty of room to run, lots of wildlife around to see. Will definitely come back in the summer/fall time... highly recommend this cabin to everyone!!!
Quintessential Mountain Retreat!
We were looking for a quiet winter get away and Cascading Creek Cabin was perfect!!! From start to finish the process was smooth and effortless. Desra was really helpful with the booking process, answering all of our questions quickly and thoroughly. Jack met us at the cabin when we arrived and gave us a tour of the property. He gave us some wonderful suggestions for local hiking trails with the dog. Hearing that we were headed out to do some hiking he dropped off snowshoes in the event we needed them.
The cabin is rustic yet equipped with everything we needed. It was very cozy with a wonderful fireplace in the great room, making for a perfect place to cuddle up. The decoration is really quaint with little details tucked away everywhere. Both Jack and Desra take a lot of pride in the cabin and it shows. They were both delightful and made us feel really welcome! We would definitely recommend this cabin and the hosts. We hope to make this a regular winter get away!
Awesome stay at Cascading Creek Log Cabin
My family had such a great time at Cascading Creek. The cabin was perfect. We were traveling with our two boys, ages 11 and 13 and my wife's father. Everyone enjoyed it! The cabin was bigger than I was expecting and there was plenty of room for people to do their own thing if they wanted. The kitchen was well equipped and had all the little things that you might have forgotten. The back yard and the creek was a great little respite from our hikes in the national park, perfect for hanging out at the end of the day. The park was just a short drive away, less than 10 minutes. There isn't much nearby, which is what we were looking for, but we did have take out pizza one night from a small pizza and cafe down the street that was great for a night we didn't want to cook. Also loved the collection of classic DVDs. Desra was great to work with - no problems of any kind and everything was just as expected. Would definitely recommend this cabin for a family or anyone looking to stay in a secluded spot near Rocky Mountain National Park. We had a great time.
The Cabin and Town that exceeded every expectation!
Our family of 5 had an excellent week in Cascading Creek Cabin. It is difficult to express all the great things about this cabin that made our family vacation exceptional. We especially loved all the personal touches around with modern conveniences but still being in a real cabin. Our entire family enjoyed the time we spent behind the cabin by the creek. Between the Hammock reading (napping), playing games on the picnic table or playing in the creek we enjoyed being outside. Inside we cooked some great meals in the well supplied kitchen, spent time playing board games and had some wonderful family movie nights.
We found Allenspark to be perfect! We ate at Rock Creek Tavern and Pizza one night and it was wonderful. We had breakfast at Meadow Mountain Cafe which was so good! The people around town were so friendly and helpful.
Jack and Desra were so helpful from the very start. I messaged Desra multiple times with questions and she also was so patient answering all of them. She was very organized on the business side of things. Jack helped us get settled when we arrived. He was so helpful explaining everything and made us feel so welcoming. They were the perfect hosts.
I would recommend Cascading Creek again and again. Every expectation that we had about the cabin and Allenspark was met and then some!
