Create Memories at This Romantic Riverfront Cabin Near Estes Park
Create Memories at This Romantic Riverfront Cabin Near Estes Park
Looking for a place to rest, recharge, reconnect or maybe just for some recreation?
Image yourself enjoying this peaceful mountain escape — a romantic, cozy cabin nestled right on the Big Thompson River.
Whether it’s the honeymoon you never took, a solo retreat to finish your next novel, or a home base for exploring Rocky Mountain National Park, this cabin invites you to slow down and create memories that last a lifetime.
YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME
This one-bedroom, one-bath getaway is ideal for two, though it can accommodate up to four with a fold-out couch in the living room. Surrounded by a beautiful Japanese-style privacy fence, the cabin offers peace, seclusion, and the soothing sounds of the river just outside your window.
The space is adorned with unique art and décor collected from my travels around the world, giving the home warmth and character you won’t find in a typical rental.
Enjoy all three levels of redwood decks with seating and a charming porch swing — the perfect place for morning coffee or evening stargazing. Let the rushing water calm your mind as you relax, write, or plan your next Rocky Mountain adventure.
IDEAL LOCATION
Estes Park: 5 minutes
Rocky Mountain National Park: 15 minutes

GUEST FAVORITES
* Fly-fishing for trout in your backyard
* Morning coffee by the river
* Wildlife sightings (elk, raccoons, and the occasional black bear — foghorn provided!)
* Writing retreats and healing escapes
“I didn’t want to leave! Absolute peace and tranquility in the beautiful nature.”
— J. M. - IND, IN
“Stayed about a week. This was the perfect home base for us! Amazing location and views! We loved having a place to call our own for the week. We also really enjoyed just hanging out by the river. We loved the atmosphere of the place and just really felt at home!”
— Jen Rating, 5 stars
GUEST ACCESS & AMENITIES
Guests have full access to the home, excluding a private office and the lower-level storage area. The cabin includes:
* Strong Wi-Fi and smart TV
* Ample closet and shelf space
* Redwood decks with river views and access
* Fully equipped kitchen (Note: No dishwasher)
Important: There is no washer or dryer on site, but a quality laundromat is just 10 minutes away offering both self-service and drop-off options.
Cell reception in the canyon is limited, but Wi-Fi calling works well.
STAY DURATION & BOOKING INFO
Due to local zoning, the cabin is available for 30-day stays or longer. Rates have been reduced to make longer stays affordable — even if you're not here every day. It’s perfect for remote work, creative retreats, or a peaceful change of scenery.
