About this property

Longs Peak View, walk to downtown, historic charm

Estes Park Registration # 3251 Please read our cancellation policy before booking. Purchase insurance for any unforeseen issues. NO PETS. Convenience is what you get with Mabel's Cabin at L.R. Taylor's Estes Park Cabins. Mabel's is located on a hill just above the downtown of Estes Park with private steps leading to the center of town. But get away from it all on your private, covered deck and enjoy the view of Longs Peak and the mountain range. So park your car and walk to restaurants and shopping. Mabel's is also just minutes away from the famous Rocky Mountain National Park. 2.5 miles to Beaver Meadows Visitor Center. 4 miles to Fall Creek Entrance. (so enjoy all that it has to offer)

Originally built in the early 1900's by Mabel Van Hook, one of the four children of L.R. Taylor, to be her summer home and vacation spot. The cabin has been renovated to include all the modern conveniences, but still retains some of it's original charm.

Mabel's has a beautiful space outdoors to roam with trees, rock out-croppings, deer, elk and chipmunks. The elk have their own path right beside the cabin and enjoy resting under the trees. Please look at photos. Parking is tight. NO RV's, trailers or extra long vehicles. There is a steep hill leading down to the parking. In the winter, we do have snow removal. However, if you get stuck removal will be at your own expense.

Estes Park is the perfect vacation spot and there is something to do for everyone. You can rent this cabin year-round and enjoy the seasons of Colorado.
If this does not satisfy you we have 3 other cabins at LR Taylor Cabins listed on VRBO.
Egbert's Cabin VRBO #1471860
Nell's Cabin VRBO #788667

Rustic Cabin with Outstanding Location

This property provided us with an ideal base for day hiking in RMNP. The location, a very short walk to E Elkhorn Ave, provided easy walking to restaurants and shopping and allowed us to keep the car parked after a long day on the trail.

Quaint, Comfortable, Great Location

We enjoyed our stay in Mable’s Cabin. It was a quaint and comfortable cabin. We found it to be just as described. We came to Estes Park for a family wedding and to enjoy the area. Mable’s Cabin is in a great location…just a short distance from everything.

Great location!

Great rustic cabin very close to downtown Estes. Our family had a great time exploring the town and RMNP was just a short drive away. The driveway to the cabin is quite steep if there is any snow or ice, an AWD or 4x4 would have helped in the winter. We would definitely be interested in renting the same cabin again.

Yes, I try to show the driveway in photos. Being on a hill has it's advantages with the view, though. Hope you can come in the summer or fall sometime!!

Lovely cabin in the perfect location!

The property was lovely and the town was so very charming! All the people were friendly and gave us great recommendations for hiking during the off season (avoiding avalanches). We also appreciated the maintenance guy Jerry who brought firewood to our cabin for us! Lovely space for a lovely time!

Cozy cabin yards from downtown estes Park

This cozy cabin was perfect for 3 adult children to spend a few days with their dad. 3 minute drive and 5 minute walk to Main Street of Estes Park; easy access to Rocky MountainNational Park for beautiful fall aspen viewing. Kitchen is well supplied for meal preparation; fireplace is perfect for an evening of conversation; the deck has a wonderful view of Long’s Peak; cute little loft under the eaves.. We would go back!

A stay at Estes Park

Overall the cabin was comfy and clean. It does badly need new bed pillows, those were so flat they did no good. We bought firewood, but it would have been nice to have a hatchet to make kindling. At least I did not see one. We did enjoy our stay and would recommend it.

Cozy Cabin

The cabin was quite cozy and comfortable. It accommodated our party nicely. It’s a good location and very close to downtown. The only complaints I had were the toaster was broken, I wasn’t impressed with the number bed, I found it to be uncomfortable. However, that was probably just me. All in all it was a good stay.

We are happy that you were comfortable. We did not find out about the toaster until after you had left. If we had found right away we would have replaced it ASAP. Thank You for staying with us.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Schneider

Host profile image

This cabin was sold out of the family for quite a few years. We were lucky enough to purchase it so that it is back in the family. I have been coming to Estes Park for vacations since I was a toddler. I never tire of it's beauty and endless changing scenery. I hope you can build the same memories at our little heaven on earth.

Why they chose this property

Mabel's Cabin is one of 5 cabins with LR Taylor Cabins. My great, great Grandfather came to Estes in 1911 to start building his vacation home, along with his wife and 4 children. He died shortly thereafter, but his children each built their own cabin. Luckily, we were able to buy the ones that had left the family. The cabin we stay in has never left the family and has been passed on through the generations. Nell's Cabin was not in our family, but we bought it because of it's proximity. Each of the cabins has old photos of the family and Estes Park. Come enjoy the history.

What makes this property unique

This cabin has a perfect location in a private neighborhood. You can relax on the deck and enjoy the surroundings, watch the wildlife, walk downtown for food or shopping, or drive a short way to get to Rocky National Park. It is the best!
