AVAILABLE YEAR-ROUND! Location, Location!!
This 1935 cabin has been remodeled with lots of fresh, bright updates for a comfortable stay. King bedroom with memory foam mattress has an adjoining on-suite bathroom. Second bedroom includes a Sleep Number queen size bed, along with twin bunk beds. Ideal for 2 couples or a family with kids. The entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park is within eyesight of the expansive front windows, yet the cabin is tucked away off on a quiet street. Wildlife, including deer and elk, frequently graze and pass through the meadow behind the cabin which you can watch from a window seat in the dining room. Downtown Estes Park is just a 5-minute drive.

The kitchen has recently been completely updated and has a gas stove and all the other necessary kitchen equipment for cooking a meal away from home. Both bathrooms are also updated, modern and clean.

The living and dining rooms, with vaulted ceiling, have windows on both ends, allowing for a lots of light, and the opportunity to watch for wildlife and see mountains. (Check out the picture of the deer just outside the back window). The living room sports a comfortable, large leather couch with fluffy throw blankets, a new gas fireplace, and a large screen TV, perfect for hunkering down after a day exploring Estes Park and the mountains. The dining room table easily seats 6, with extra chairs for visiting guests. The cabin has a stash of games for all ages and toys for kids.

You’ll love the comforts of this cabin along with its close proximity to the entrance to the park and downtown Estes Park.

Visiting the RMNP

We had great stay at the national park, the house was very comfortable and great location for accessing the National Park. There was an issue with the cleaning of the home prior to our arrival but the host was very responsive and had the issue resolved in a very timely fashion. We really appreciated the quick response and had a wonderful stay.John

Great stay in the Rockies

Great place to stay and so close to the park. This house was the perfect spot for my family. Lots of personal touches from the owners to help us pick great places to eat and incredible trails to hike.

Short family vacation

This property was great for the 4 of us. It was super clean on arrival. There was plenty of room around the living room and dining table to gather The kitchen was cozy but very well stocked. The neighborhood is great, very close to the park entrance and we saw deer and tons of birds from the front porch. We enjoyed the views, and grilling on the back deck. We hope to stay again.

Family Trip

The cabin was clean, spacious, and located very close to an entrance of RMNP. Backyard porch is perfect for grilling, eating, relaxing, and just being in the mountains. It was super convenient for us that the cabin had a pack-n-play and some toys for our kids (ages 2.5 and 4.5). We were sad to leave and would love to stay again!

Picture Perfect

This VRBO was a gem!! The owners were very responsive and accommodating. The views from the front porch were breathtaking. We enjoyed coffee in the morning, or watching afternoon thunderstorms roll in over the mountain. The beds were comfortable. There is a well stocked toy box that our toddlers enjoyed thoroughly. We went in mid August and were worried about the temperature inside the cabin… but with the provided fans and so many windows it was quite comfortable! The location of this cabin is second to none!! We were able to visit the RMNP at our leisure. Put some soup in the crockpot and enjoy a day out and about! You are literally close to EVERYTHING. The back porch is quintessential - equipped with a grill and outdoor lights for the perfect family evening. We had the BEST time in Estes Park and will be back to rent this cabin next year!

Excellent spot for RMNP

Very nice home to stay in for a trip to Estes Park and to use as a base for exploring RMNP. It’s literally steps from the RMNP sign, easy in/out of the park. Even better location now with all the construction on the road that leads to downtown Estes. Able to easily access food places and groceries without having to go through town and all that traffic. Process to book and arrive, communication with owners all excellent. The place has everything you need for a short or longer stay. We were there 3 nights and had no issues with anything. Home is clean, had plenty of room for our family of 5, which includes 3 teenagers. As the listing states, home does not have AC and we caught a hot week. Since we were out hiking during the day and the homes has multiple fans, it was manageable, the home cools off fast in the evening hours if you keep the blinds up during the day and open the windows in the evening. The owners made sure we were aware and gave good instructions on everything. Would definitely come back anytime!

The cabin was nice but there were too many steps, we even had to step down into the showers! The showers both need lighting as the bathroom light is insufficient. There's a step up into the kitchen and step down to the bedrooms. My 84 year old Mother had difficulty with all of the step up/down required to navigate safely.If there are no mobility issues, the cabin is nicely appointed and just off the road to the park.

The location couldn’t have been better! Right near a park entrance and easy access to everything Estes Park has to offer. And the size and layout of the home was perfect for our four adults and two children.We also had several mule deer and elk sightings right out of our window….so close!

Rocky Mountain adventure

This property was close to RNMP, and Estes park. It was not near the creek which I thought it was according to photos. Very close to neighbors. We weren’t there much so it didn’t matter. Overall fine place to stay.

Perfect place, perfect location!

We (2 adults) stayed here for a 4 day trip to RMNP. You can't beat how close it is to the park entrance! It was well stocked with everything you'd need. The beds were very comfy and great to sleep on after a long day of hiking. Hosts were very responsive to communication and very easy to work with. They also have a lovely binder of recommendations and things to do while visiting, which was really thoughtful.

Fall in the oark

This was a great property with a perfect location The house was super clean and quiet. But here is the rub...the house in NO WAY is accurately captured by the photos of the outdoors...there is no unobstructed view.. you are surrounded by houses front, back and side...The furniture like every VRBO I've ever been in was mediocre at best and the beds were uncomfortable. Not everyone wants to sleep on a Tempur-pedic. A final quirky complaint is why report the the water was tested two years ago drink at your own risk? I'll accept that if I am paying 3rd world prices but I'm not. Let me know about this and not in passing..or be a bit more proactive and get filtered water or make bottled water available to your guests.
