About this property
Cozy retreat with a starlit hot tub, fire pit, fireplace & treehouse near RMNP.
Escape to your own private Colorado retreat, nestled in the rocks and just minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park. This unique property includes both a cozy cabin and a charming treehouse, making it the perfect winter getaway for couples, families, or anyone craving a peaceful mountain escape while avoiding the ski crowds. The Alpine Escape has a Hot Tub with heat tracks mats, a fireplace, & fire pit. It is a modern cabin nestled in the rocks with all the comforts of home. All newer furniture and bedding (comfy mattresses and pillows). You can sit on the front or back deck of the house and hear the sounds of the Middle St Vrain River down below. The kitchen is well equipped with all the essentials you might need. We have some really cool yard games (giant connect four, plastic axe throwing, etc.), board games, a dart board, a foosball table, an arcade game, and good Wi-Fi for streaming or working remotely. Main bedroom is large with a queen size bed with wood burning fireplace and seating, smart tv, walk in closet with light up makeup vanity, and access to a private back patio. Bring your own firewood during the winter months if you would like to use the wood burning fireplace. Second sleeping area is a loft overlooking the living room with a queen bed and a large smart tv. The cabin is located on Riverside Drive in South St. Vrain Canyon and accessible via County maintained paved roads that are plowed regularly during the winter. It is approximately 15 minutes from downtown Lyons, 15 minutes to Allenspark, 30 minutes to Estes Park, 30 minutes to Boulder or Longmont, and 45 minutes to Eldora Ski area. It is also within a 15 minute drive to a very cute little town with a country store for essentials such as milk and eggs, gas, a couple restaurants, a liquor store, and a spring to refill water containers for free. We are near the Middle St. Vrain River with great fishing, hiking trails, off-roading trails, biking, etc. all close by. The town of Lyons is very cute with restaurants, ice cream shop, and lots of things to do throughout the year such as a huge blue grass music festival during the summer, tubing on the river, and a parade of lights in December. If you have any special requests just let us know and we will do our best to accommodate. A four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive is required from December through March in case of a heavy snow during your stay. No pets other than max of 2 dogs. Please mark if you are bringing a pet so the pet fee will be applied and we know about it. Fully fenced area (approximately 4 ft tall) on side yard wherefire pit seating and grill area are located, dog bowls, small kennel, and towel for paws.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Cindy Jones

This is our family's second home that we also rent out short term. We are originally from Louisiana and we moved to Colorado in 2020. Since we often stay at the cabin it is very well equipped. We put a lot of work into keeping it as nice as possible and regularly making upgrades. We love spending time out at the Alpine Escape in the winter and the summer. It is so nice when the water is flowing and you can sit outside and hear it from across the way. The river sounds eco off the rock so it sounds like it is right there when you are on the back deck. There is lots of wildlife in the area such as a fox's den in the cliff behind the house, a flock of turkeys that visit regularly, chipmunks, bears, mountain lions, moose, and river otters to name a few. We have great fishing, hiking, and 4x4 trail riding in the area. It is also very fun to go tubing or kayaking in Lyons when it is warm enough.
Why they chose this property
It is such a cute area along the river with friendly neighbors and lots of walkers and bikers. Our property has so many personal touches and it is very private and peaceful. The drive out is easy with so many beautiful views as it follows along the Middle St. Vrain River in the South St. Vrain Canyon. We have food, gas, a natural spring to fill your water containers, and a liquor store located only 15 minutes away in Ferncliff area. We are also a 15-minute drive to Lyons or Allenspark, and 30 minutes to Estes Park, Longmont, or Boulder.
What makes this property unique
The rock outcroppings are very unique and so beautiful on our property. We have a really cool table/seating area on the back deck along with a hot tub right off the main bedroom. We also have a seating area around a propane fire pit and a grill. The sounds of the river across the street is my favorite part! We also have a really unique treehouse built up into the cliff behind the house.
