The living room has a gas fireplace to take the chill off on those cool evenings. The large fully stocked kitchen gives you lots of room to fix your meals unlike your average mountain cabin. (no dishwasher). Gas grill off the back deck and outdoor dining space.

Short walking distance to 2 brewery's, 4 restaurants, family entertainment park and an outdoor air adventure park. All with a river just a few steps from the back deck. There are several cabins together on the edge of a small industrial complex. (storage units mixed with businesses) giving this a more private setting. The cabin does not have A/C, we have natural mountain breezes just like the Stanley Hotel. There is the potential for road noise at times.

This home is fully stocked with bed linens, towels, extra blankets, soaps, shampoo and a good start up supply of paper products.. The kitchen has pots, pans and dishes plus silverware. A standard coffee maker, toaster, blender, crock pot too. A washer and dryer with laundry pods to use.

This is the ideal location for a base camp for those who want to explore Rocky Mountain National Park and Northern Colorado.

This home is managed by Rocky Mountains Property Services, a family owned and operated business local to Estes Park.

Rocky Mountain National Park will implement another pilot temporary timed entry permit reservation system from May 23 through October 20, 2026 If you plan on visiting Rocky Mountain National Park during your stay please visit their website for details about reservations.

Cozy, comfortable cabin on the river within walking distance to the town with restaurants, shopping, and grocery stores. Short drive to RMNP. The kitchen is well equipped — although we couldn’t find a cutting board. (Luckily, we had our own in our camping gear). We were VERY happy to have a washer dryer as we had been on the road for two weeks hiking, biking, and kayaking. We will definitely return.

We stayed from 12/26/24 - 12/29/24 and just love this place. There were only 3 of us so it was perfect. A short trip but located close to everything especially RMNP.
