About this property

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.
