About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Modern Mountain Retreat • Stunning Views • Deck
Your Mountain Stay You’ll be staying at 7,550 feet, surrounded by sweeping mountain scenery. Inside the home:
• Two bedrooms o One with a California King o One with two twin beds
• A fully stocked kitchen with everything you need for cooking and dining
• A fireplace in the living room, perfect for cozy evenings after a day outdoors
• A spacious deck overlooking Mt. Audubon, Thunderbolt Peak, St. Vrain Mountain, and Meadow Mountain
If you hike up the mountain behind the house, you’ll reach viewpoints of Long’s Peak, Mount Meeker, and several other iconic summits.
Community & Outdoor Amenities The community spans 600 acres of beautiful mountain land you’re free to explore, including six stocked lakes within walking distance.
Fishing • No Colorado fishing license required • A community badge is required — I’ll provide one • Fishing poles available upon request
Wildlife Sightings are common (though never guaranteed). Guests and our cameras have spotted bears, moose, elk, bobcats, bighorn sheep, turkeys, bald eagles, and even a mountain lion near the home.
Recreation • Tennis and pickleball courts • Small basketball court • Horseshoe pit
Pool The community pool typically operates from Memorial Day through Labor Day, though dates may vary slightly.
Extended Stays If you’re considering a longer mountain getaway, 1–3 month fall and winter rentals are available. • Fiber optic internet for fast, reliable connectivity • Ideal for remote work with strong Wi Fi throughout the home • Enjoy the quiet beauty of the Rockies while staying fully connected
Winter Travel Notes Winter stays are cozy, peaceful, and a wonderful way to experience the mountains.
After a day outdoors, the fireplace offers warmth and charm, making the cabin feel like a true retreat.
Snow in this area usually melts quickly, but during active storms, travel can be more challenging. For the safest experience, 4WD or AWD is recommended. Roads are plowed once about 4 inches of snow have accumulated, but the driveway and cabin stairs are not regularly cleared.
Shovels are available at the base of the stairs if needed.
If a major snowfall is expected, I’m happy to work with you to reschedule if necessary — your comfort and safety always come first
Guest access Guests have access to the second floor/main level of the house. The first floor is for storage and utilities.

Fantastic host and cabin!
From our first contact with Cory, everything was outstanding. He made the entire process completely simple and stress free. Cory was so helpful and kind, and his email check ins were appreciated! The cabin was well stocked, super clean and we absolutely loved the peaceful location. It was so quiet! Our vacation was everything we hoped it would be, and a lot of that was due to Cory’s care he puts into his cabin and guests. Thank you again, Cory! We can’t wait to return!

Lovely place
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Elk Meadow. It was peaceful and quiet and the place is quite nice. We enjoyed sitting out on the porch to watch the sunset. I must say that I appreciate the fact that they have an a/c available. We only needed it one night but appreciate that it was available. The drive into Estes Park is beautiful and easy to make. The drive into the meadow from the main road is also a nice ride. We would definitely stay here, again.

Great Location for Visit to RMNP
We really enjoyed our stay at this vacation rental. The home was clean and well equipped for our family of four. The location allowed us to conveniently visit RMNP, Estes Park, and Lyons, while being able to enjoy quiet and solitude in the evening when returning to the house. We had excellent communication with the owner, who responded promptly to question and provided helpful information for our stay. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Mountain Getaway
We had a great trip and really enjoyed this vacation rental. This is part of a small private community hidden in the mountains. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a remote location in the Rockies that is also very modern, clean, with all the conveniences of home. Beautiful view from the deck. Cory was a wonderful host and checked in with us a couple times to make sure everything was okay.
