Original RMNP River Front Cabin on Thompson River

You can’t stay any closer to the river because it is no longer allowed. Original cabin that was once located inside the National Park. It was moved in the 40’s to its current location on the edge of Thompson River just minutes from the Beaver Meadows entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park and downtown Estes Park. Fish steps from your cabin.

Imagine waking up in the morning to the gentle sound of a river in front of your cabin while the sun shines through the pine trees and the wind serenades your arrival in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Welcome to “Thunderbird”.

Slow down and introduce your loved ones to the outdoors and the simple pleasures of life as your parents and grandparents once did for you.

**Upon booking, you will receive a welcome message with a pdf version of our Welcome Guide. Please make sure to read in order to learn how to check-in and enjoy your overall experience.**

This updated modern rustic is a 1-bedroom Cabin with a queen bed and a pull-out sofa. Enjoy your own private fire pit, amazing views of the river, pine trees, and wildlife. Wi-Fi, DirecTV, Roku, Keurig coffee maker and a fully stocked kitchen. Fish right in front of your cabin, BBQ, shoot darts, or challenge your loved one to an epic game of corn-hole on our grounds.
