Cabin is completely updated with contemporary mountain decor. The two-bedroom cabin features a wonderfully appointed master with a queen bed. The second bedroom has a bunk bed with a full bed on bottom and a twin on top--perfect for either a second couple's room or for the kids to enjoy. The living space has a wood burning fireplace to enjoy the crackle and warmth of a fire on a cool night. It also has a TV with cable, DVD, and WiFi for in-house entertainment. The futon in the living space pulls out to a queen-sized bed. The kitchen is fully equipped for being able to enjoy a home cooked meal even when away from home. Outside is a deck from which you can hear the cascading waters of the Big Thompson while cooking dinner on the BBQ.

This cabin is in the perfect location to enjoy all of Estes Park's beauty as well as its downtown life. Whether you are in town for a wedding, having a family reunion, or just wanting to get away, you will leave completely satisfied after having stayed at this cabin.

I love the location of the cabin. It's perfect it the National Park is your main priority. I loved that we didn't have to drive through town every time we wanted to go to the park but town is close also. It's very clean and it's nice to to have some supplies provided like laundry detergent, dish soap, paper towels, toilet paper & air freshner! The beds are comfortable as well! This was our 2nd time here and we will definitely be back! Oh & the Bull Elk outside our window on the morning we left was a great surprise!

Online description stated the cabin had a grill. I know a new law started about charcoal grills, but they could've had a gas grill. Other cabins had them. Also, the front porch light nor the outside side light didn't work. It was hard to see the keypad and walk the pathway to the car when leaving or returning after dark. Other than that, it was a great place to stay.

Wonderful cabin for a stay in Estes Park and visit to RMNP. Close to downtown and all amenities that Estes has to offer and even has an access to the Big Thompson River that is fishable and has a little picnic area. It is not right next to the cabin like the pics suggest but is not far and easily accessible. Parking is great at the cabin and very convenient. The interior of the cabin is nicely updated and perfect for what we needed during our stay in Estes and everyday visits to RMNP. We would definitely use this property again!One note....the entrance is hard to find at first and I would not want to try and find in the dark for the first time. The cabin owner was very helpful with his instructions which enabled us to only miss it once! After that, had no trouble.

Perfect Location

This cabin was in an ideal location. The park & downtown were both convenient. One afternoon, several elk decided to hang around which made it fun to watch. The Adirondack chairs down by the water were really appreciated. It was very relaxing to sit and listen to the rushing river. Check in was super easy but the kitchen facilities were a little lacking. This was the first time in our experience of renting, where coffee was not supplied (although there were coffee filters & a pot). One of the skillets was put away dirty and we didn't discover this until we started to use it. Kitchen towels were also lacking. Only one towel to dry dishes was provided but there were no dishcloths. The bath towels had been hung while still damp causing a musty smell when we used them. This was also the case with the bed sheets. We had to wash & dry them ourselves on our first day to remove the odor. Also, the white bath washcloths were extremely stained and needs replaced. Dishes were a hodge-podge and decorations on the tables were old and dusty. It wasn't a bad experience, but for the price paid, we expected a little nicer.

Peaceful Getaway in a Beautiful Setting

Wonderful stay! The cabin was well-equipped for our family of four and set in a peaceful, relaxing location. While the main bedroom mattress wasn’t the most comfortable, the beautiful setting, access to RMNP and downtown, and the overall experience more than made up for it. A perfect spot to unwind.
