Great location with great view inside the national park.
Stayed two nights at the Niwot cabin. The cabin’s location at the base of Bear lake road and just south of Moraine park was ideal. Cabin was clean, quiet and was a pleasant stay. Fully stocked kitchen with comfortable living area. Location was equidistant from the parks premier hiking trails (bear lake area) and downtown Estes park

Beautiful Mountain Getaway
The cabin was cute with modern upgrades but kept the feel of a 70+ year old cabin. Absolutely beautiful surroundings. We can't wait to return!

Great place, great location
We loved the cabin. It had everything we needed to be able to visit the park and yet relax at the same time. The views are great. The hummingbirds are super friendly. They came right up to the feeder as I was holding it and ate out of it. Being inside the park is great as you do not have to wait to get into the park. It is also nice to be on Bear Lake Rd. We did go to recreation.gov to get our passes for Bear Lake road. Overall just a wonderful stay.
