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

Wonderful family vacation!!!
Our family visited Cascading Creek Cabin in mid-July. We could not have picked a more perfect family escape! Upon arrival Jack greeted us and showed us the entire property...inside and out. The cabin's beautiful creek was the highlight for my kids, and with the balls and nets Jack provided they had hours of fun. The property has trails that are fun to explore and also for parents sit or swing and relax. The cabin is well equipped with all things needed and is oh so cozy. Jack also brought our kids tepees to play in along with an arts and crafts box and our favorite...dress-up clothes. We made great memories with the nightly fashions shows, ha! Would highly recommend to any family wanting to get away. Thanks Jack and Desra for a wonderful stay!!!
Alluring and welcoming, oozing with mountain charm!
From waking, rested and refreshed each morning from the very comfortable beds to falling in bed each night, lulled to sleep from the sound of the rushing creek and crisp mountain air we were charmed and enamored. Every nook and cranny has another lovely suprise or piece of eclectic artwork partnered with winsome suprises for the entire family. Thank you for sharing your part of Colorado with our family.
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!
