Great views from 2 decks, block from town, across from nature preserve, Hot Tub!

Relax, rejuvenate and recharge in this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath mountain cabin that has everything you could hope for in an Estes Park vacation home. It’s within easy walking distance to downtown restaurants and shopping, and a close drive to the main attraction – Rocky Mountain National Park!
This house is perfect for making memories with friends and family. Enjoy your morning coffee on our beautiful outdoor deck, which overlooks parkland and has an amazing view of the Stanley Hotel. Have fun making meals in the fully-stocked kitchen, and eating together as a family around the large dining table. Two living areas (on separate floors) allow you to play games and relax as a family, or split up into your own areas.
After a day of exploring Rocky Mountain National Park (or shopping in Estes Park), a fun evening and a good night’s sleep awaits you. Walk into town for dinner and drinks, or grill out on the outdoor deck. Each bedroom is beautifully decorated with a mountain theme, and is equipped with a flat screen TV if you just want some quiet time. The downstairs game room has a sectional/sleeper sofa and offers a great place to play games and watch movies. Before bed, enjoy a soothing soak in the outdoor hot tub and take in the night sky.

We have highspeed gigabit internet connection (940mbps) for those who need to telework! Great connectivity for video zoom calls, streaming movies, and more! Cable Tv in every room, board games, dominoes, cards and more. Hiking trails directly across the street and large 6 person private hot-tub. Loads of fun for the family at your fingertips.

This property in 100% self-managed. We take pride in our home and offer guest personal experience with suggestions from "locals" on what to do around town, best RMNP hikes, and of course our favorite places to eat and drink. No worries about illegal rentals, the town of Estes Park has strict licensing requirements for vacation rentals and our house is fully compliant and registered (registration number 3222).

The host requires you complete the following before checking out:
Load and start the dishwasher
Gather used towels
Remove personal items, remove leftover food and drinks, and take out the trash
Lock the doors
Dishwasher Note: With our housekeeper juggling same-day turnovers during the busy season, starting the 2-hour dishwasher cycle before you leave would be a huge help—thank you!
Laundry Note: To help our very busy housekeeper, please gather used towels and start a load—towels take a long time to wash and dry. No need to worry about sheets; they’re cleaned off-site.
Trash note: If you’re able, taking the trash to the designated dumpster would be a big help. Our housekeeper is recovering from shoulder surgery and truly appreciates the extra kindness.
Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.

Any reservation obtained under false pretense will be subject to forfeiture of advance payment, deposit, and/or rental money.

We were a small group of mostly “older” adults, and were very happy with our stay in this Estes Park Cabin. The house was clean and spacious, beds comfortable. The kitchen was large and well stocked with the basics but also extras such as storage containers and insulated shopping/picnic bag. The upstairs and downstairs sitting areas gave us plenty of room to stretch out. The hot tub was perfect after a full day of hiking. The location is great for walking into town for shopping and restaurants, and is an easy drive to the entrance to RMNP. Communication with Brent was excellent. An added bonus was the elk wandering through the grounds.

My wife and I absolutely loved this cabin! We were in town to go to Rocky Mountain National Park which was barely 10 minutes to Beaver Meadows entrance. The cabin was tastefully decorated. So many small details great open floor plan and gorgeous kitchen. If you are looking for a space perfectly located in Estes Park minutes walking to downtown but it feels like its still private and minutes from RMNP and come back to soak in a awesome hot tub like we did than this is the place for you. Thanks Brent for making sure our stay was amazing! Great host!

It was our family’s first time in Estes Park, and we knew from day one that we would have to make this our new favorite destination. The cabin was within close walking distance of all the restaurants and shopping. The cabin was so comfortable and well stocked, and there was plenty of room for the whole family.

Family Vacation

Elk Cabin was the perfect fit for our family. We have not been on a vacation together in a long while. It is perfectly located in Estes Park between the Stanley Hotel and Downtown Estes. Plenty of shops and restaurants to choose from. Would recommend Embers restaurant on the lake. So many things to do around the area. We went Whitewater rafting out of Fort Collins and Horseback riding at the YMCA in Estes. Went on trail Ridge Drive to do some hiking and sightseeing. Bear Lake was the kids favorite where they hiked to the falls. Another recommendation would be the Ariel Tram early in the day to feed the chipmunks. Had a beautiful view from our balcony watching the elk and visitors walk the trails. I would highly recommend this cabin.
