This cabin was cozy, clean and large enough for our family to spread out! It was close to the Rocky Mountain National Park entrance and the little town of Estes Park. There was plenty for our family to do near the cabin. Our favorite part of the cabin was the four seasons room on the back, it was so cozy and the view was incredible. Can’t think of a better view to read our little his stories before nap time! We even got to saw a group of horse riders passing right through the front yard while we sat on the deck. 10/10 would love to visit this property again
Our favorite spot, the warm, cozy cabin 4 seasons room with a view!
Front deck, 2 rocking chairs on either side of the front door. We got to see a bunch of horses going by while we sat on the front porch! It was neat!
View from the primary bedroom balcony! Beautiful all day but especially at sunrise

The Rivendell was just as listed, LOVED the porch!! Wonderful location, close to Estes and RMNP yet far enough away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Estes. No issues with water as others have stated(we had 10 in our party that stayed there). Dan, owner and Trish, property manager were wonderful to work with. Saw lot of wildlife during our stay. Would definitely stay here again! Thank you Heard/Drew families for sharing your cabin with us!!

About the host

Hosted by Trish Ronan, Property Manager, Dan & Kelly Heard, Owners

Host profile image
Dan and Kelly Heard and their daughter and son-in-law Kendra and Patrick Drew are Texans who enjoy several weeks in the Colorado Rockies each year. We have owned this property together since September of 2014 and have enjoyed improving it and sharing it with family, friends, and many fantastic vacationers. Our favorite times are when our other children and grandchildren are all here together.

Why they chose this property

We have owned this property together since September of 2014 and have enjoyed improving it and sharing it with family, friends, and many fantastic vacationers. It is next to the YMCA so you can travel here with friends. We are on a little river too and we can hike directly into the RMNP!

What makes this property unique

In the summer we love hiking together and in the winter snow shoeing close by or skiing at Eldora just over an hour away. We are a little out of town, so you feel private and secluded, but dinner is just 10 minutes away.
