Prime River Frontage Home/ AC/1mi to EP & 2mi to RMNP/fish outside your door!

Estes Park Vacation Rental License #6076

Newer 2000 sq ft home, riverfront, close to Town & RMNP

Summer Guests- This home has air conditioning which is very rare in Estes Park!!

Riverside Lodge is perfectly situated with prime upstream and downstream views of the Big Thompson River. Top it all off with the backdrop of Prospect Mountain and you have the perfect Rocky Mountain retreat.

From Riverside Lodge it is just a short walk into the Town of Estes Park and an easy 1.5 mile drive to the Beaver Meadows entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park.

The main level great room has a gas fireplace to gather at with river and mountain views all around...no artwork needed on these walls! This is simply the ideal family gathering place with its adjoining fully equipped kitchen and dining room area. Gaze out to take in the perfectly clear Colorado sky, river and mountain views!!

From the great room you can step out to a fantastic deck to enjoy excellent mountain views along with the sights and sounds of the Big Thompson River! Take it all in while enjoying a cup of morning coffee, evening glass of wine, reading a good book or cooking dinner on the gas grill!

The cozy master bedroom en suite is also located on the main level (king bed). Open the windows and let the sounds of the Big Thompson lull you to sleep.

A second family room is located in the lower level along with 2 bedrooms (one king bed and 2 twins) and a full bath with tub/shower. There is a queen size pullout sofa in the common area. From this level you can walk out onto the covered patio and spot elk and other wildlife moseying along the Big Thompson River! Or simply sit back, relax, and enjoy the view!

A two car attached garage space comes with this rental. There is also a main floor laundry room.

As our guest you will enjoy access to HOA-shared common fishing areas along the Big Thompson river.

Wildlife sightings abound with frequent visits from elk, deer, wild turkeys and even an occasional bobcat.

Need we go on... Riverside Lodge is perfect in every way... not just another vacation rental but a perfect mountain home!

We absolutely loved this property. We are already planning to come back in the winter. The main attraction is the creek outside that we spent most of our time, The beds were comfortable, and the property was very clean. The kitchen was very well stocked. I highly recommend this property.

Relaxing getaway

We loved the location on the river. It was so relaxing to watch and listen to the river from the balcony or beside the large windows in the living room. The location had easy access to RMNP or the downtown area. It was very clean and had everything we needed. It was a great place to getaway with family.

Absolutely wonderful in every way

We had a family gathering to enjoy nature and each other's company before I start chemotherapy next week. The hours we spent beside the river, along the trails and in Rocky Mountain National Park are cherished memories. The property is beautiful, the location is perfect, and the property manager is outstanding. The kitchen is well-stocked, too. Truly exceptional.

Awesome home, location and view!

This is our 2nd stay here and we can’t imagine better lodging for our family’s annual visit to Estes Park. The Big Thompson River is right outside the back door and deck. We only have to walk a few feet to put a line in the water. The sound and view is mesmerizing. And just minutes to RMNP. The house is stylish and comfortable. We will definitely be back!

AAAA++++ property!

We are truly grateful for the generous hospitality and for giving us the opportunity to appreciate the gifts of Mother Nature right outside our windows and doors. The excellent location, thoughtful amenities, cleanliness, and stunning surroundings did not go unnoticed. Relaxing by the river was a particularly cherished experience. We would definitely recommend this property to anybody who appreciates nature and who loves to watch the river flow (rush) by. The host was exceptional, and the cleaniness was above all. We will definitely revisit when we come to Estes Park again. Thanks for sharing.

This place is amazing! The house was very clean and was stocked with everything you could think of. The views are unbelievable and the walking trail is so nice. We had an elk come up to the backyard within 15 minutes of being there and saw plenty of wildlife throughout our stay. Sue was great to work with. It was very obvious that she wanted us to enjoy her home and to make sure we had everything we needed. We will be back!

This house was perfect. It had absolutely everything we needed. I've never stayed at a house that was so well stocked. Towels, paper goods, washer/dishwasher soap, etc was plentiful. There were even box fans in the closets if needed! The kitchen had everything I needed. The view of the river was amazing. We didn't want to go back home!

Wonderful!! Listen to the creek, watch the elk, 5 min to downtown Estes Park and to RMNP

This is a wonderful house. Lots of space, super clean, cozy yet spacious. Backs onto a river/creek where elk stroll by on a regular basis. It feels secluded and magical, but is only a 5 minute drive to RMNP and to downtown Estes Park. And there is a charming coffee shop that you can walk to that is on a little lake where you can feed ducks. We were so sad to leave!
