Beautifully maintained cabin in great location between downtown Estes Park and RMNP. We loved hanging out on the porch looking for wildlife after a long day hiking. Super clean and with everything you'd need. Would definitely stay again and will recommend to friends.

Perfect Cabin

This cabin is located within walking distance of downtown and is just minutes away from the RMNP entrance. Mark and Sue are great communicators and their cabin was the perfect place for our family of five! This was our second stay at their cabin and we can’t wait to return!

The cabin was AMAZING!! Very spacious and clean, the outside areas are beautiful.

We LOVED our stay at this cabin, would go back tomorrow!! It was the cutest cabin ever with tons of character. Plenty big and had everything we needed. The outside was beautiful and we saw Elk and Deer every day of our stay. Could sit outside for hours and relax, it was perfect!!

Lovely cabin in Estes Park

There were so many wonderful things that we liked when it came to this rental. First of all the communication from the owner was great! She text to check on us, gave us advice on things to do nearby, and when we had one tiny thing that needed attention they were there within just a few minutes! The home has that older cabin homey feel, which we loved. And you are only a few minutes away from RMNP.

An Amazing Cabin in the Perfect Location

This cabin was PERFECT for my family of 5 visiting Estes Park and RMNP. It's located just minutes from both the Beaver Meadows entrance and downtown Estes. At the same time it felt like we were away from the crowd. Even though the cabin looks amazing in the pictures online, they don't do it justice. It has the look and feel of an old rustic cabin, but with every modern amenity you could want. The outdoor seating areas were perfect for enjoying a morning cup of coffee in the cool mountain air, or for unwinding after a day hiking the trails. The gas grill came in very handy for grilling up a quick meal. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. You won't have to bring anything but the food. Measuring cups, untensils, bowls, spices, snapware, griddle, crock pot, coffee maker, Kurig... everything was there ready for us to use. The washer and dryer were great so we didn't have to go into town and waste a day doing laundry. The wood burning fireplace just adds to the charm. Check-in and out instructions were easy. The owner (Sue) was very responsive to any questions that came up during our stay. Not only with questions about the cabin, but questions about where to go to eat and things to in town or in the park. The wifi was fast and stable. We loved our stay here, and memories were made that will last a lifetime! My boys are already asking when we can go back! We couldn't have asked for a better place to call "home" during our stay in the Rocky Mountains!

Look no further, this cabin is the ideal stay for your Estes Park trip! We absolutely loved our stay here. The cabin is beautifully decorated, cozy, and thoughtfully designed with every detail in mind. From the soft sheets to the well-stocked kitchen and high-end appliances, everything felt top-notch. It’s in an ideal location, close to downtown Estes Park yet just a short drive to the Rocky Mountain National Park entrance. Our kids were enthralled by the turkey, deer and chipmunks that regularly wandered by. We felt safe, it was peaceful and quiet, and the host was wonderful—responsive, friendly, and full of great local tips. You can tell she truly cares about her guests’ experience. We can’t recommend this place highly enough. If you’re visiting Estes Park, this is the cabin to book!

My husband and I had a great time at this charming cabin, with its cozy and relaxing atmosphere, excellent location and privacy. We enjoyed the nice kitchen, bath and laundry, outdoor area - everything. Some family members who were staying elsewhere in Estes came by to see us and thought the cabin was great also! We have stayed at 26 other places in Estes during our last 16 visits there and to RMNP, and this cabin is one of our very favorites!! We hope to return next year!Thanks to Sue who was a lovely and thoughtful hostess and great at promptly communicating with us and answering any questions!

We were blown away by what the owners have created there in Estes Park. Not only is this in an amazing location for access to Rocky Mountain National Park and the town of Estes Park, but it also feels like an oasis away from both. And the cabin maintains its true, historic charm while providing very modern accommodations. The hosts were exceptional and we look forward to making a return trip some day soon.

Wonderful cabin, location and hosts!

Everything about the cabin was just as we hoped and just as it was advertised. A perfect place to stay for a relaxing vacation with close proximity to the park. VERY clean and updated. Our three young children loved playing in the yard and even saw wildlife strolling around, wild turkey and elk! Sue was so accommodating, always quick to answer any question and even brought us a bottle of olive oil when I asked if there was any at the house. We could not recommend this home and hosts more. Book it now!

Charming Cabin!

We enjoyed our stay and loved the location! It was close to town, grocery store, restaurants, and park. Beds were comfortable with nice linens and quilts. The kitchen was well-appointed and very spacious. Cleanliness is a top priority and this cabin exceeded our expectations. The outdoor seating area was our favorite place to relax after a day of hiking in the park. We received fast responses from the owner and was easy to communicate with. Would stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Mark and Sue Werder

Host profile image
We have always wanted to "work where we live versus live where we work" in 2010 we took a chance and started our boutique vacation rental service business (Good Neighbor Vacation Rentals, LLC) in beautiful Estes Park, Colorado.

As frequent road warriors ourselves, we enjoy a high-quality travel and vacation experience. We aim to provide the same quality & customer service that we expect ourselves at our own vacation rental homes.

Please check-out what our guests have to say at all of our VRBO properties (over 600+ 5 star reviews)!!

"It's not just a transaction, for us it's our passion!"

PS- We are also diehard fans of the St. Louis Cardinals & Blues, Buffalo Bills & Sabres, world cup soccer and the Rocky Mountains!

Why they chose this property

We love historic homes after having restored our 100 year old arts and crafts gem in St Louis MO.
So when AspenHaus Prospector came on the market we walked through and in one minute we both knew how special it was!
There were 4 offers the same day offered; and we emerged as the lucky owners!

What makes this property unique

If you are looking for a true old-time Estes Park experiece our cabin cannot be beat (our opinion!)!! The exterior space is exceptional and peaceful, we walk to Town, wildlife abounds, we have sought to maintain the original charm while adding all of the modern conveniences. This cabin is truly special!!
