What an adorable little cabin! If you're looking for a quiet little spot to call home base while exploring Estes Park and RMNP, this is it. The cabin is tucked away at the end of a quiet little street with great views of the surrounding hills/mountains. There are plenty of birds singing, hummingbirds buzzing, and chipmunks scurrying around the place, and we saw evidence of elk, even though we never saw one while in the cabin itself. The cabin was clean and well stocked with utensils and pots/pans in the kitchen, and there were plenty of blankets, extra towels, etc. available. The front deck was a perfect spot to sit and drink coffee and listen to the sound of the river in the valley below. Check in/check out process was smooth sailing, and the washer/dryer were super handy so we didn't have to travel along the rest of our trip with dirty hiking gear. The suitcase stands were also a nice touch so we didn't have to constantly step around our bags on the floor. All in all, a great place to stay and we'll be recommending it to our friends!

Wonderful Stay!

We enjoyed all aspects of this charming, beautifully updated/new home! Beautiful setting, great deck, close to YMCA, and Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park. Perfect for a couple or small family, but could be tight quarters for couples sharing. Truly a lovely place - hope to return someday.

Stay at Bears Den

Nice cabin..stayed 9 days and I didn't want to leave. Very close to Beaver Meadows entrance to RMNP. Excellent location..short drive to Estes Park downtown yet the cabin location seems remote.Frequent elk and deer sightings grazing at the property. Beautiful east facing sliders open onto a great deck and let the morning sun coming shining in. Great place!
