About this property

Historic Cabin with Spectacular Views! Full Kitchen, Walk into RMNP #20-NCD0303

Our historic, updated and cozy cabin makes a great retreat and base of operations for exploring the Rocky Mountains and the Estes Valley. Come experience the majesty of Rocky Mountain National Park, the abundance of elk, and the quaint village of Estes Park!

Awesome views of the Rocky Mountains and wildlife wandering through the front yard are yours from this clean and comfortable, vintage cabin. Conveniently located less than a mile from the Rocky Mountain National Park entrance and within a mile from the heart of downtown Estes Park, you can come home after a fun day of hiking, shopping, or exploring and relax in the spacious living room by the wood-burning moss-rock fireplace. The living room also has two cozy leather couches, leather chair with ottoman, coffee table, elk horn chandelier, flat screen TV with Dish Satellite, DVD player, and wireless Internet service. We have added new fur pillows and fur throw blankets in the living room -- we think you’ll love curling up on the leather couches with these!

The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need for meal preparation (including a new Samsung full-sized stainless four-burner stove/oven, refrigerator, quiet new Bosch stainless dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker and basic coffee supplies, toaster, pots and pans, crockpot, dishes, glassware, cooking utensils, silverware, spices and linens) with an adjacent dining area. The dining table seats 6 people comfortably.

You can also barbeque using the full-size Weber charcoal grill and dine outdoors in Summer and Fall. Kick back on the Adirondack chairs on the front deck and soak up the views of Long's Peak, Mt. Meeker, Twin Sisters and more.

One bedroom on the main level has a queen bed with down comforter, plenty of closet space, walls finished with knotty pine and windows for a great view of the mountains. Custom-made Murphy bed with brand new double mattress in the living room sleeps two more. There is also a twin bed in an alcove off the living room.

One full bath with tub/shower and plenty of towels provided. The bathroom is stocked with a travel-sized hairdryer, small sample sizes of soaps and lotions, etc. We provide a few rolls of toilet paper, a roll of paper towels, several dinner napkins and a box of tissues to get you started, but you may need to buy more paper products depending on the length of your stay.

Laundry room has a washer and dryer. We provide laundry detergent for a couple of wash loads, but you may need to buy more soap during your stay. There is also a travel-sized ironing board, an iron, cleaning supplies and trash bags stored in the cupboards above the washer and dryer.

We keep in the living room closet a portable crib with fitted sheets and blankets, a highchair and a back-pack style child carrier for your use at no additional charge.
Enjoy your mountain get-away in a comfortable, rustic cabin nestled at the base of 14,000-foot peaks. Gorgeous mountain views and wildlife such as elk, coyote, deer and rabbit are yours for year-round viewing from the cabin. We provide you with recommendations for hikes, activities and restaurants here in Estes Park, and we also keep maps and brochures in the cabin for your reference.

Get outside and go hiking on one of the numerous RMNP trails on both sides of the Continental Divide with our convenient location as your home base. Great shopping, live music, festivals, wineries/breweries and art venues are located downtown and at the newly renovated event center. We have all the cook- and serve-ware you need to prepare your meals and relax at home. For those of you who prefer not to cook, we can recommend a lovely meal at one of Estes Park's wide range of restaurants. Restaurants are OPEN for carry-out and delivery, INDOOR dining as well as OUTDOOR dining as weather permits.

In summer and fall, RMNP boasts world-class hiking and climbing as well as golfing, boating, fishing, biking, horseback riding, river-rafting, mini golf, aerial tram, mountain coaster and many more downtown and Estes Valley attractions. Our area also offers winter sports such as snow shoeing/hiking, back-country skiing, sledding, and ice skating here in RMNP and Estes Park, plus downhill skiing at nearby Eldora Mountain Resort (about 1.5 hours away).

RMNP is OPEN without a timed entry reservation until May 26, 2023. when reservations go back into effect for the summer and fall months, through October 22, 2023. Visit www.recreation.gov for timed entry reservations. Daily fee or annual pass is also required for entry.

We have posted a few of the many reviews from our guest books kept in the cabin, and we encourage online reviews from all of our guests. We continually strive for a 5-star rating from each customer, and we are very grateful to have such special guests come from all over the country to visit. We would love for every guest to feel that their stay at our cabin is an enjoyable and memorable one!

I had a nice visit, very close to park and town. Hiked the entire time except the last day we shopped in Estes Park. After checking out the property manager texted me wondering where the remote controls were for the TV. We never even used the TV (we came to hike). The property manager still hassled and took

GORGEOUS cabin with EVERYTHING. it's much larger than we expected. The views of the mountains were beautiful. We loved sitting on the front porch and reading. RMNP is RIGHT there. You can walk to the sign if you wanted to. Really close to Smokin Daves BBQ, which we highly recommend after a long day of hiking. We will definitely be back.

A TRUE GEM
I can’t even begin to tell you how magical this cabin and location is. It is extremely clean, and there is nothing the host didn’t think of. Pamela is so pleasant and accommodating. This property is ABSOLUTELY stunning. Pictures could never do it justice. The wildlife was amazing to watch, and everyone in town was so very sweet. It’s only a few miles from the historical Stanley Hotel, and there are many fantastic dining options close by as well. There’s plenty to do, but the Cabin itself was breathtaking. I would absolutely recommend this cabin for any age, or occasion. We will be returning. We fell in love.

We had everything needed and more! Lots of space for the 2 of us. Views from the porch, living, dining, kitchen, and bedroom were awesome! We had mule deer in the front yard twice in our 4 day stay.

Great getaway for family with toddler
Absolute best choice for a stay with a 2.5 year old! Crib, hiking toddler backpack, plenty of games and books. Our son absolutely loved it. The crib fit best in the loft in the second room so he had somewhere to sleep while we stayed up a little later. Overall very comfortable home and super convenient location. Would stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Pamela Wallace

Host profile image
Proudly accommodating vacationers at our historic cabin in Estes Park, the Gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park, since 2007!!

We are an active family of four including 2 children (a boy 19 years old and a girl 16 years old) living here year-round in Estes Park. We love the grandeur and beauty of the Colorado Rocky Mountains and the abundance of wildlife in this part of Colorado. We never get used to seeing the herds of elk, Rocky Mountain sheep, moose, mule deer, rabbits, coyote, bear, snow-capped mountains, rivers full of snow melt, wildflowers and aspens in all their seasonal colors. We love to share in the natural beauty with visitors from nearby and from far away.

Why they chose this property

This location has truly amazing mountain views of Long's Peak, Mt. Meeker, Twin Sisters and the Continental Divide. It is also surrounded by open space, bordered by Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) land, close to the Big Thompson River and provides excellent year-round opportunities for viewing wildlife right outside in the front yard, including herds of elk, deer, coyote, rabbit, badger, birds, and even the occasional bear. The proximity to the Rocky Mountain National Park (less than 1 mile to the park entrance) and downtown Estes Park (about a mile to the heart of town) make this a perfect mountain getaway for adventurous exploring or pampered relaxation. Our historic, updated cabin makes a great base of operations for hiking and touring within RMNP and is also close to restaurants, golf, and other amusements and activities in the quaint village of Estes Park. We trust you will enjoy it as much as we do! Fully equipped kitchen with full-size appliances (including a very quiet new Bosch dishwasher and a new Samsung oven/range), big living room with wood-burning fireplace, flat-screen TV, leather couches with fur throw blankets, and a washer and dryer make our cabin convenient and comfortable, but the location, views and privacy are what makes our cabin really exceptional.

What makes this property unique

Excellent mountain views and privacy. Lots of opportunities for seeing wildlife (especially elk, sometimes in large herds) year-round from this historic cabin. You can relax in front of a fire in the wood burning fireplace on the leather couches in the living room, grill out on the Weber charcoal BBQ and dine outside, or just kick back on the Adirondack chairs on the front deck and soak in the gorgeous views!
