About this property
Charming Cabin In The Pines
Our cozy, charming cabin has everything you might need for an amazing, peaceful or adventurous, stay near Rocky Mountain National Park (4.7mi or a 12 min drive). Nestled in the trees on 1 acre in a quiet residential neighborhood, quiet hours are 10pm to 8am. We have plenty of free parking in the private driveway, easy access summer or winter. 4 steps with a sturdy handrail lead from the driveway up to the deck and front door. (We live right across the road in case you need anything during your stay but insure you have the privacy you need.)
Our cabin is conveniently located on the south side of town, between Highways 34 & 36, no need to fight summer in-town traffic after a long day of hiking or exploring. And yet we are just a 6 min drive or very pleasant 2 mile walk along the paved Lake Estes trail to the center of downtown.
Our cabin is a short 2 minute walk to the paved Lake Estes Trail which will lead you to several beautiful spots in Wapiti Meadows for fly-fishing on the Big Thompson River or to the Estes Lake Marina. Following the Lake Estes Trail the other direction will lead you to Lake Estes picnic spots, Stanley Park which has a beautiful, clean playground and a fun zip line for kids, or to Estes Park Visitor's center (1.5mi) where you can find lots of ideas for fun things to do or pick up the RMNP shuttle or shuttle to downtown. The Farmer's Market is held here in the Visitor's Center parking lot Thursday mornings during the summer. The famous Roof Top Rodeo is held the second week in July.
Enjoy your morning coffee/tea or evening wine on our quiet deck, shaded by beautiful Ponderosas. Save on meals with our gas grill or well-stocked kitchen for quick and easy dinners. Our deck is perfect for viewing frequent wildlife passing by or enjoying a peaceful view, at the start or end of your day, of Mount Olympus and a sweet meadow where deer and elk frequently graze.
Our cute cabin is comfortably suited for 4 guests with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The cabin arrangement offers privacy as the bedrooms and bathrooms are on opposite sides of the cabin, separated by the kitchen and living room. The front bedroom has a queen bed and the front bathroom has a tub and shower. (The second bedroom currently has a bunk bed with full/double bunks top and bottom.) The back bathroom has a shower and a full size washer and dryer. *PLEASE NOTE: BEGINNING JANUAURY 2026 THE BACK BEDROOOM WILL HAVE ONE QUEEN BED instead of the full size bunkbeds.
We offer free WiFi and Direct TV, a wood-burning fireplace with free firewood provided. The full-size kitchen has a full-size range and refrigerator, a microwave, toaster and crockpot, Keurig and regular coffee maker. Spices, tea, coffee, hot choc, popcorn and basic condiments are provided. You are welcome to use what you find in the kitchen. Many guests leave what they haven't used for the next guests.

If you go to Estes park. Please stay at their home. Everything you need to stay there is in the house. Bathrooms have shampoo and conditioners and bath soap as well as suntan lotions and. Anything you need to hike in the woods. Wonderful communication with the hosts. The house is located close to town and yet private and in a wooded area. I cannot wait to go back and bring a couple of my grandchildren with me.

Thank you for your kind review Susan. So glad you enjoyed your stay. Love to see you back with your grandchildren!
Great and comfortable cabin. Joy and Rich were good hosts and very communicative before, during and after our stay. Enjoyed our stay and would recommend this cabin!
Home away from home! Very comfortable and cozy! The cabin had everything you could possible need. We saw deer and elk outside our kitchen window. The host was very easy to communicate with. We hope to return next year.
We were very happy with our location and stay. It was clean and all the comforts of home were thoughtfully considered. The owners were helpful and available for any questions.

Kathleen, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. You are most welcome back anytime.
The house is not a lake front, but a mountain property. The stay was exceptional, as the house was comfortable and cozy, with. Very well stocked kitchen. The beds were comfortable, showers were excellent with great water pressure and plenty of hot water. The laundry room was well equipped. The location was quiet and relaxing. The owners were friendly, responsive and genuinely nice people. I would definitely stay again!
Clean property. With very responsive owners. Everything went smoothly.

About the host
Hosted by Rich and Joy Harvey
We have vacationed in Estes Park since the 1970's, so when it was time to retire we chose the most beautiful place we know. We live right across the road from our vacation cabin which was recently our home.
Why they chose this property
Charming, historic forestry service cabin, built in 1945, on 1 acre in a very quiet wooded neighborhood, beautiful mountain view, great for a relaxing vacation yet minutes to Rocky Mountain National Park, downtown, outdoor activities or shopping and restaurants. You choose, an active, 'on-the-go' vacation, close to the Lake Estes trail, or a peaceful, relaxing get-away. This is the perfect setting for either.
What makes this property unique
Beautiful 'cabin in the woods'; yet still close to town in a residential neighborhood, perfect for a couple or two or family. Pack 'n Play available on request. We have a full kitchen perfect for dining at home, (put dinner in the crockpot while you enjoy the area) or many restaurants to choose from within minutes. Hiking trails or fishing in the Big Thompson just a couple minutes walk from your front door. We will send you contact information when you book your stay and directions and access instructions shortly before your arrival.
