Enjoy a mountain lake with lakefront rental by Estes Park

Located on the northern edge of Colorado is the statutory town of Estes Park. It primarily serves as the headquarters for Rocky Mountain National Park, so you'll find no shortage of lake Colorado cabins in the area. Lake Estes' shoreline stretches around 4 miles, and there are quite a few cabins along those shores ranging from affordable rentals to luxurious accommodations that can serve as a satisfying home away from home. The lake itself is a reservoir, so you can also visit the impressive Olympus Dam.

That said, if you like the idea of visiting a winter wonderland, the colder months see far fewer vacationers and you can hit the mountains with snowshoes or cross-country skis. There might be less wildlife to spot, but the landscape is arguably at its most scenic. The toasty log fires at your Estes Park vacation rental will await you on your return.

The eagle-eyed might spot bighorn sheep or coyotes on the mountain ridges, while hawks circle overhead in search of prey below. Those that like watching wildlife won't come away disappointed.
