Thunderbird - 2 bedroom. 1 bathroom historic cabin

"Thunderbird," a historic 1924 log cabin near Allenspark, CO, and just twelve miles from Estes Park, offers a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom retreat featuring original hardwood floors, hand-hewn log walls , and a cozy wood burning fireplace. Just three miles from the Wild Basin entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park, this 1,129-square-foot home includes a fully equipped kitchen and large windows with views of Mount Meeker.

Step back in time and embrace the ultimate old-school mountain experience! Your journey begins as you walk up 6 rustic steps to the entrance of this authentic log cabin. Inside, you will find a quaint sitting room featuring a cozy sofa, a TV for movie nights, and breathtaking views of Mount Meeker framing the window.

At the heart of the home sits a centrally located kitchen complete with a charming retro oven—the perfect spot for slow mornings and making hearty meals for the family. Nearby, enjoy the quaint dining room where you can share family meals surrounded by stunning mountain views.

Kick back and relax in the separate living room, featuring a gorgeous stone fireplace perfect for chilly mountain evenings.

When it is time to rest, retreat to one of the two King bedrooms, both intentionally designed with warm, yesteryear charm.

Kids will absolutely adore the secret closet space featuring their very own tea party/play area!

The adventure continues outside behind the log outbuilding, fully decked out with log furniture, hanging chairs, relaxing hammocks, a foosball table, and a grill—all perfectly framed by your own private Aspen Grove.

Such a special cabin!! This time capsule is an incredible spot for visiting RMNP, Wild Basin , Meeker Park and Allenspark. The additional covered patio is a slice of heaven overlooking an aspen meadow that attracts deer. We were a little concerned about being close to the road but it was not a detractor at all. This is a sweet place with so many original personal touches. Love that both rooms have king sized beds with extra pillows. The kitchen is very well stocked!
