NO CLEANING FEES- This is a owner operated cabin business. We (the owners) clean the cabins and ensure that the guests get the best experience during their stay.

Historic 1920's Riverfront vacation cottage in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Located just outside downtown Estes Park on the banks of the Big Thompson River. Picturesque surroundings with towering Ponderosa pines, the Canyon, and the Big Thompson river!
Decorated tastefully in a seashell and nautical theme, you will enjoy this newly decorated abode. The bathroom is graced with a claw foot tub and shower.
A picnic area is provided in front of the cottage beside the river. The Big Thompson River is very wide at this point and there is even a small island in the middle right in front of the property. There is a family of ducks living at this point in the river. It is known to be one of the best fly fishing areas too and you have private entry to the river!
Behind the cabin, there is steeper terrain with many rock outcropping, very scenic! A very large rock formation can be found to the right rear of the cabin. Beautiful scenery from every single window.

About Janet Newman Ali at SeaShell River Cabin
I have always dreamed of owning a rental cottage. When I was a child, I used to stay in the deep woods of Northern Michigan. These were the fondest memories of my life. I always adored the historic rental cabins that I saw on my trip. Providing a unique, memorable accommodation to make your vacation even more special has been a lifelong goal of mine. I also teach piano.
Janet Newman Ali at SeaShell River Cabin purchased this cottage in 2006
Why Janet Newman Ali at SeaShell River Cabin chose Front Range
We chose this beautiful location to buy a cabin as it was next to a large, rushing river and surrounded by towering Ponderosa Pines.
What makes this cottage unique
Our property is unique as there are not many original 1920's cottages left in the area. From the light fixtures the claw foot tub, you won't find another like it!

Reviews
Wonderful!
4.9/5 -

Loved listening to the river while grilling and relaxing
We enjoyed many hiking outings in the rocky mountain. So nice to be close to so much fun. Loved listening to the river while relaxing on the deck and grilling.
Family of five
We spent our second summer vacation in a row here at Seashell cabin. It remains our favorite spot in Colorado. Long ago we came and stayed in a cabin rental on some flat land and it was nice, but nothing can compare to staying along the rushing Big Thompson river!! In the past we drove from our cabin 45 minutes to try to see the big horned sheep in the Big Thomson Canyon, but here at Seashell cabin we are immersed in the experience from the minute we step out the front door we are living the culture of the Rocky Mountains. Even inside the cabin just open up the oversized screened windows and hear the rush of the river thundering down the canyon.
When I traveled to Europe I was warned to experience the culture not just touch on the monuments. I managed to to that in Europe. If you want to live "Colorado" Seashell cottage will help you to do it.
You don't need to run yourself silly either, Janet and Imtiaz (the proprietors) have the cabin stocked with essentials to fill you needs. The barbeque on the large deck overlooking the river allows you to grill up dinner and enjoy it in the outdoors rather than hop in a car and go sit in a restaurant.
I wholeheartedly recommend Seashell cabin for your next trip to the rockies.
Lovely Cabin Home !! Such a peaceful and clean place besides the rolling river
What a lovely cabin home you have ! Such a peaceful and clean place besides the rolling river. Peaceful in the morning and evening hours. A great location to the beautiful mountains that we enjoyed. I loved being able to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary in such a beautiful location. Estes park has changed so much since our honeymoon. Our son loved the hiking, go carts and especially the ATVs. What a blast. Your sea side style made us feel at home- even down to your "sea minerals" soap which we use at our home.
Home away from Home
We loved sharing the experience of your "home away from home" cabin and the area especially the Rocky Mountain National Park. Thank you so much for the wonderful suggestions. We tried everything, the multiple hikes, the tasty restaurants, and the fun shopping. Thank you too for having the extra special goodies in the cabin ..including the pancake syrup.
Charming Little Cabin
This was a very charming little cabin and we enjoyed our stay very much. The theme of the cabin carried out throughout was so much fun. All of the accommodations were so nicely arranged and easy to use. I could not think of a nicer place to stay at Estes Park
Sitting on the deck was my favorite part
We enjoyed our stay at your cabin and our visit to Estes Park. Sitting on the balcony/deck was my favorite part of the staying here. My husband was fishing in the river. The mountains are beautiful. The birds and chipmunk were fun to watch.
Map
Excellent for Fly Fishing enthusiasts. You can fly fish right in front of the cabin. Catch and Release.
