You can’t stay any closer to the river—because it’s no longer allowed. North Star is a modern rustic, year-round cabin perched directly on the edge of the Thompson River, just minutes from the Beaver Meadows entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park and downtown Estes Park. Fish directly in front of your cabin.
Spend your days exploring the wonders of Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park, then return home to the perfect basecamp for all your outdoor adventures. After a full day of hiking, wildlife spotting, or downtown strolling, soak in your private hot tub, cook a fantastic meal in the fully stocked kitchen, or relax by the fire pit as you overlook the flowing river just steps from your door. Welcome to North Star.
Slow down, unplug, and reconnect with your loved ones through the simple pleasures of the outdoors—just as generations before once did.
ABOUT THE CABIN
This beautifully updated modern rustic cabin features a master bedroom with a queen bed and a pull-out sofa, comfortably sleeping up to four guests. Enjoy your own private hot tub in front of the cabin, a fire pit, and breathtaking views of scenic water and nature, towering pine trees, and local wildlife.
Spend your time fishing right outside your door, firing up the grill, throwing darts, or challenging your favorite people to a friendly game of cornhole on the grounds. The cabin includes internet, Roku TV for streaming, a Keurig coffee maker, and a fully stocked kitchen—everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay.
For larger groups or multi-family trips, North Star can be combined with Sunshine for an ideal shared getaway.
