Great cabin for a family getaway! Great location and very nice views. The sun porch in the back was a huge hit and we all spent a lot of time there. The hot tub is very nice and high quality and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely recommend this place.

Rivendell was everything we wanted and more. The cabin was well stocked with anything we needed and very clean. The host communication was great. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Estes Park!
This place is amazing! The view can’t be beat. Plenty of room for our group of 11 ( 6 adults, 5 kids ) to spread out. Comfortable beds, very clean, nicely appointed kitchen. The kids enjoyed the ping pong room. Great location to enjoy all that Estes Park and RMNP have to offer. Our favorite room was the porch with that view, just turn on the fireplace for a little bit to take the morning chill off and sit back with your coffee. Fantastic time here.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled that Rivendell had plenty of space for your entire family and that everyone enjoyed the home, especially the kids in the ping-pong room! That porch and its incredible mountain view truly are something special, and enjoying a warm fire with morning coffee sounds absolutely perfect. It was such a pleasure hosting your group, and we would be delighted to welcome you back to Rivendell anytime!

We had a wonderful week-long family reunion. The configuration of the house gave each family some privacy and at the same time accommodated our whole-group gatherings. The property location provided easy access to hiking trails and trips into town for shopping, lunch, etc. One of our members had an encounter with a nest of ground bees, and the property manager had someone on-sight the next morning, and two subsequent mornings to spray. We would return in a heart-beat!
We had a wonderful stay. The cabin is beautiful with wonderful vistas of the mountains. The enclosed sunroof and upper deck provide exceptional views of RMNP peaks and forests. Wildlife is diverse and plentiful in the area. The cabin is very well equipped and comfortable. Our host management was easily contacted and responded immediately to any requests.

Beautiful setting and exceedingly comfortable home with amazing decks, views, living spaces and access to hiking and all that Estes and Rocky Mountain have to offer. Truly a fabulous place. And how can you not love the name Rivendell and all that evokes!?! The communication with hosts, and their willingness to ensure we had a wonderful stay, was truly outstanding.
I don’t think we could have found a better property for our family of 10 ages 6-73. Easily could have fit another family or 2. Very well stocked with things to occupy the kids, the hot tub was in excellent condition, and the layout of the home itself had so many different areas for the families to have their own space. Basement is like its own 2 bed/bath apartment with its own mini kitchen. Upper loft did get warm during this mid-August heat wave but there were at least 15 fans placed throughout to help draw in the cool air at night. Spotted plenty of mule deer roaming the property and the humming birds were around constantly. Beautiful views in all directions.
We had great, clear communication with the host. The house was amazing— comfortable, just as described, and well provisioned. A phenomenal setting for a once-in-a-lifetime weekend!
Our family had a lovely time in this beautiful mountain cabin. Lots of wildlife and amazing views. highly recommend staying here anytime you’re in the Estes Park area.
We stayed a week with our three children and their families. Great house, well appointed kitchen, three washer/dryers, beautiful vistas.. plenty of deer and elk visited. Lovely vacation home

About the host
Hosted by Trish Ronan, Property Manager, Dan & Kelly Heard, Owners
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.
