About this property

This updated cabin with amazing views is conveniently located off Highway 34, nestled on the mountainside with views of the divide. Just 10 miles east of Estes Park gets you out of the hustle and bustle of downtown but just minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park, Devil's Backbone hiking area, and Carter Lake! Pop over to Estes Park or Loveland for plenty of places to eat and drink. Excellent porch for taking in nature, the cool mountain breeze and the wonderful view. Thank you for staying!

Cozy Cabin

Super quiet with a beautiful drive through the canyon. The location is perfect if you want to go to either loveland or estes park. Very easy to navigate and perfect for us and our dogs. The host was very attentive and easy to contact. We really enjoyed our staycation in the mountains.

Relaxing and pet freindly

The cabin is clean and has everything you need. The hot tub is new since our last visit. There is no cell service, but that's to be expected due to the location in canyon. The river is beautiful, we saw bighorn sheep twice while driving to town. We like being between Estes Park and Loveland so we visit both. Having the garage is nice but we didn't use it. Finding a nice cabin that allows pets is the best thing ever, our dog loves to travel with us.

About the host

Hosted by Darin Glenn

My wife Erin and I are local Realtors and Colorado transplants, moving here in 2007. We have always loved the Big Thompson Canyon and purchased this property to share with everyone coming to Colorado to relax and enjoy the beautiful outdoors. We love everything Colorado has to offer including skiing/snowboarding, camping, boating, craft beer, local eats, and live music. We are looking forward to this adventure and meeting some amazing people!

Why they chose this property

We love the location of this property, the layout, and the updates. It gives you the cabin feel while allowing you to relax and take in the beautiful scenery. The proximity to Estes Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, and Loveland lets you have everything Colorado has to offer within a 15-30 minute drive. We hope you enjoy your stay!

What makes this property unique

We love sitting on our porch with a morning cup of coffee or evening glass of wine-the views are breath taking. Darin enjoys taking our girls to the bottom of the driveway to fish. We enjoy boating on Lake Carter a mere 15 minutes away! We love that in a short drive we can be in Estes or Loveland if we don't feel like cooking or want to get the girls our of the house. We hope you enjoy our cabin as much as we do-it is relaxation and Colorado at its best!
