Excellent location

We thoroughly enjoyed this place especially the patio that overlooks the mountain stream and the many hummingbirds that visit the feeders. This place is a real mountain retreat while still close to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park.

It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The best part was the good size patio right on the rushing rapids of Middle St Vrain river. Lots of bird watching too.

Quiet and peaceful

It’s was a lovely stay. A true cabin in the woods. The River out back along with the patio makes for a peaceful place for rest. This has been our favorite place in the Rockies and we will be looking to stay again in the future.

Relaxing and convenient to RMNP

We enjoyed the quiet time sitting along the creek along the proprty. The cabin was very close to the Wild Basin area and close enough to Estes Park to enjoy RMNP/Bear Lake property. This place was perfect for a private getaway in the woods with convenient access to nearby points of interest. I would definitely stay here again if I return to the area!

Very glad you enjoyed your stay. Wild Basin is the closest entry to RMNP and is beautiful any time. As you saw with the aspens at peak the mountains are awash in color now. Thanks for your kind words, Charlie

Charlie’s cabin was exactly what we were looking for. It is a simple and peaceful place to relax in the mountains along the Saint Vrain. The cabin is one of the cleanest, and Charlie was very attentive and helpful with any issues that arose. We would love to visit again!

True Peaceful Valley

This was our second year here and it was just as peaceful and quaint as we remember. The river behind the cabin is the perfect place to be immersed in nature and be away from all of the busyness of Estes Park.
