About this property

Simple mountain cabin on the banks of the mighty Saint Vrain Creek

The Autumn season is on and the aspens are turning shades of gold and copper as the stream is calming to a gentle fall flow. Enjoy crisp mornings with hot coffee on the riverside patio and glorious afternoons.

This simple, quiet mountain getaway is a non-smoking creek side cabin located at 8500 feet in Peaceful Valley, on the Middle Saint Vrain Creek. Two bedrooms, plus a queen futon in the living room, one bath and a wood burning fireplace stove. Through the large windows you'll enjoy lovely views of the valley ridges, the forest, the Saint Vrain, and the wildlife it attracts. The aspen shaded stream-side patio surrounds you in a natural environment. Located just up the road from the Peaceful Valley's beautiful Chapel on the mountain overlooking the Valley. You’ll have easy access to hiking, skiing, fishing, biking, and relaxing in and around the Peaceful Valley and Camp Dick campgrounds. Enjoy nearby communities of Nederland, Lyons, and Estes Park, gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park and walk to the Roosevelt National Forest. Whether you're planning a simple retreat or a romantic getaway for two you'll have memorable days and incredibly starry or moonlit nights. You can get active in the great outdoors or relax to the sound of the creek as it passes by two sides of this cozy mountain retreat. Although there is Wi-Fi, this is a lovely place to unplug and enjoy the natural moment. This is a Verizon valley! No reception other than Wi-Fi for the rest!

Excellent location

We thoroughly enjoyed this place especially the patio that overlooks the mountain stream and the many hummingbirds that visit the feeders. This place is a real mountain retreat while still close to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park.

Peaceful Valley Cabin

Charlie’s cabin was exactly what we were looking for. It is a simple and peaceful place to relax in the mountains along the Saint Vrain. The cabin is one of the cleanest, and Charlie was very attentive and helpful with any issues that arose. We would love to visit again!

A little slice of paradise

The beauty and sound of the river flowing beside the cabin was mesmerizing and so relaxing! The perfect location as we were in easy driving distance of Estes park and took advantage of several hiking opportunities. It's not everyday that you can walk down a city street/golf course and see a herd of Elk walking by! We loved this place! Charlie was an excellent host!

This place has it all!!

Charlie had everything covered and then some!! The cabin is clean and very comfortable. The location can’t be beat!!! Crack the windows and the music of the water will fill your rooms. You won’t have to go far to find wildlife or hiking spots! I could go on forever. We can’t wait to come back!!

True Peaceful Valley

This was our second year here and it was just as peaceful and quaint as we remember. The river behind the cabin is the perfect place to be immersed in nature and be away from all of the busyness of Estes Park.

Quiet and peaceful

It’s was a lovely stay. A true cabin in the woods. The River out back along with the patio makes for a peaceful place for rest. This has been our favorite place in the Rockies and we will be looking to stay again in the future.

Relaxing and convenient to RMNP

We enjoyed the quiet time sitting along the creek along the proprty. The cabin was very close to the Wild Basin area and close enough to Estes Park to enjoy RMNP/Bear Lake property. This place was perfect for a private getaway in the woods with convenient access to nearby points of interest. I would definitely stay here again if I return to the area!

Wonderful Hideaway

It has not been 48 hours since we left the cabin and I am longing to return. You are completely away from city life in a rural environment in the Rockies. We have photos of hummingbirds at feeders outside the kitchen window, the Middle St Vrain River rushing past the cabin, we loved the smell of pine, and the sounds of a variety of birds. The host is an exceptionally nice man who loves the environment and knows the area well.
