Long’s Vista Cabin is the perfect family vacation home right at the doorstep of Rocky Mountain National Park. Our comfortable two-level home is built into Eagle Cliff Mountain and offers 1,800 square feet with four bedrooms and two baths. You’ll enjoy spectacular, secluded views of Long’s Peak and Beaver Point from the main living area and spacious upper-level wrap around deck. Located on two acres of land adjacent to the National Park, you’ll witness the beauty of the Rockies right outside your window. Ample wildlife, including deer, elk, wild turkeys and even bears enjoy visiting our property.

The main floor living area is accessed via a set of stairs and features a large river rock wood-burning fireplace, a 32” HD TV/DVD with Direct TV, free Wi-Fi, fully-equipped kitchen, dining table with seating for six to seven and bar seating for two. The deck has a large table with tilting umbrella so you can enjoy eating alfresco, as well as comfortable outdoor furniture where you can relax, read a book or just enjoy the sunshine. Main floor bedrooms feature a queen bed or two twins and a shared full bathroom.

The lower level offers additional family living space with TV and Play Station gaming system, the perfect place for kids to enjoy a break from mom and dad — or maybe the other way around. Both bedrooms on this level have queen beds and share a full bath. The downstairs laundry room is equipped with a full size washer and dryer.

Relax in the shade on our porch swing as you listen to the sounds of the Big Thompson River rushing over the rocks in the distance. Challenge your friends and family to an old fashioned game of horseshoes, there’s a pit just down the hill from the driveway. Parking at our home is plentiful and can fit four vehicles.

Location-wise, you are merely minutes away from entering the National Park for a day of hiking, fishing, exploring and enjoying all that the Rockies have to offer. If you’re looking to shop or enjoy a good meal out, you’re just a quick five-minute drive from downtown Estes Park. You’ll find boutiques, bookstores and fudge shops run a plenty in Estes. There are a number of eateries downtown, which range from delicious home-style barbeque to Nepalese cuisine for you to try on your visit.

We invite you, your family and friends to experience all the beauty and majesty the Rocky Mountains have to offer from our home. We know you’ll have many happy memories of your time spent here just as our family has and hope you’ll want to return year after year to make more.

Fabulous home and gracious hosts!

We loved our time at Long's Peak Vista. The home was spacious and well stocked (even lots of games which was a huge bonus to us)! The location could not be better. It was quiet and we felt immersed in nature, yet we were minutes from town and the National Park. You can tell this property is loved, and we would love to stay there again.

Everything about property and location was as advertised. I found everything in the kitchen I needed just like in my own home. Property was very clean in and out, having two levels helped a lot for the family to spread out and enjoy the stay. The house is nice and bright, with great views and comfortable beds. I would most definitely recommend this property to my friends.

Very comfortable and clean home with a large deck with views of Estes Park and Longs Peak. We had a family of Mule deer visit us while sitting at the dining room table. Beds were very comfortable and the kitchen well stocked with spices, extra items and cooking necessities. The driveway and road are dirt with several deep potholes. Would not want to drive a lower riding vehicle in. Very conveniently located to RMNP entrance and visitors center. We enjoyed our stay here.

Had a wonderful two weeks at this roomy, comfortable cabin in a private location, very convenient to Rocky Mountain National Park. Loved waking up to a view of Long's Peak, and sitting on the deck enjoying the sunshine in the afternoons.

Fantastic Cabin!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The cabin was clean, well appointed and very comfortable. The location is excellent with easy access to Rocky Mountain National Park and the town of Estes Park. The views are excellent and we really enjoyed waking up on our final morning to a herd of elk right out in front of the cabin! Recommended!

It was the perfect place for us...

The 2 stories worked well for us, with the 5-year-old staying upstairs with his parents and grandparents downstairs. The kitchen was very well stocked which made our cooking easy. And the house was very close to Rocky Mtn Park which made getting to the park convenient.

Close to RMNP

Nice cabin feeling home. Plenty of space. Could use some new towels. Kitchen was well stocked but drawers and cupboards could use a deep clean. Nice decor but whole place could use a good dusting. Nice touch to provide rain jackets. Good WiFi and lots of TV channels. Fun watching all the wildlife right in the yard. Overall a great place!

Wonderful Vacation Home

My family loved our stay at this home! The house was fully stocked with everything you would ever need. The sleeping arrangements were fabulous! It was decorated nicely and very clean. We enjoyed grilling out one evening and enjoying the wonderful views of the mountains! It was very convenient in regards to traveling to Estes Park and RMNP. My only complaint is that the directions to the home were a little confusing. I highly recommend this vacation home to anyone looking in the Estes Park area.

About the host

Hosted by Kim Cavanagh

Host profile image
Long's Vista Cabin is a life long dream vacation home. The home was originally built for the enjoyment and use by the immediate family. After so many years and wonderful memories, we decided we needed to share this home with others.

Why they chose this property

The somewhat secluded location of Long's Vista cabin is ideal. The location allows the traveler to view and hear wildlife without all the noise and congestion experienced closer to town.

What makes this property unique

The house sits on a hill where you can see the tram as it goes up and down Prospect Mountain. Wildlife can be seen all around the cabin. There are rocks and trees to be climbed and you can even play a game of horseshoes at the pit located just down the hill from the driveway.
