Cabin was comfortable, well stocked, and convenient to Estes park and RMNP, but far enough removed to be quiet and away from the hustle. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Highly Recommend

We loved our stay in this cabin! The owners were very responsive, the kitchen had everything we needed to make dinner. There were board games and puzzles for family time. My kids loved playing on the big rocks outside the cabin. On our last morning there were deer walking right past the bedroom window. The stay was such a convenient location to the national park. Definitely recommend this cabin!

The Rock Ridge Cabin is tucked away off the beaten path, surrounded by mature Ponderosa pines and beautiful rock formations. The location is quiet and peaceful and the cabin is stocked with all the necessities. This was our third stay and we wouldn't consider staying anywhere else as Rocky Ridge is now our home away from home.

Fantastic Cabin!

This cabin was a fantastic pick for our trip to visit RMNP. The cabin was impeccably clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The property was amazing, and we all had fun meandering around the rocky outcroppings or just enjoying the view on the deck. The hosts were extremely helpful in giving us information prior to our stay. If we come again, we will certainly choose this cabin again!

Rocky Ridge is the best.

This has been our third stay and as always it was great. I could go on and on about how great it is but there is not enough time and space. If you love the mountains as much as I do, you could not ask for a better location and cabin. Kipper and Heather are great hosts and will always help anyway they can.

Fun in natur

Property is on a county road near RMNP, near Wild Basin. A moose and calf strolled to within about 30 feet, while we were sitting on the deck. Hummingbirds galore, deer passing through, …. Quite enjoyable.

Excellent location to avoid the crowds at RMNP

This is a comfortable home situated near the southeast corner of Rocky Mountain National Park. It's conveniently located near the less-visited entrances to the Park: Wild Basin and Long's Peak. It's easy enough to get to Estes Park and the Beaver Meadows entrance to the Park as well, and there are spectacular (and often crowded) hikes from that entrance. But the waterfalls accessible from Wild Basin are among the best in the Park. The house has everything you need. We used the outdoor gas grill frequently and made use of the outdoor gas fire ring too. The bedrooms are small, but the beds are firm and comfortable.

Cozy cabin near RMNP

Wonderful vacation with our two college-age daughters. Plenty of space for our family of four. Had four full days filled with lots of hiking at RMNP, time spent in Estes Park, and an afternoon trip to Boulder. The cabin is stocked with anything you may need and even things that you may have forgotten to bring. Very cozy, beds comfortable and the cabin is very clean! We loved having the deck with the gas grill and gas fire pit- we utilized this area most nights for supper and relaxation. The owners are wonderful to work with- great communication and friendly! The cabin is only 5 minutes from the Wild Basin entrance to RMNP which was great for one of our days of hiking. And wildlife galore! We had a moose hanging out across the street from the cabin the entire stay and even got a great video and pics of a huge elk eating with the moose one morning! Great memories made!!!

Wonderful secluded cabin. Great location!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this secluded cabin. The views from the patio are amazing and the sunrise was absolutely breathtaking. The cabin is very clean. The owner leaves bleach wipes and bleach cleaner for you to use in the cabin if you would like which is very appreciated during the coronavirus pandemic. This cabin is the perfect distance from Estes park and the Rocky Mountain national park. The drive to the cabin from Estes park was about 20 minutes give or take. There is no phone service but the owner has a land line for you to use if needed. The owner called us directly before checking in to tell us a little about the cabin and to answer any questions that we may have had, which was a very nice change from other places we have rented. Overall a great experience we would highly recommend it for couples or a small family.

Perfect vacation home

This cute cabin was just perfect for our vacation. It is secluded yet close to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. It was just me and my husband so we had plenty of space to relax. I'm sure you would still have comfortable space with up to 4 people. We arrived to the cabin after dark so it was a bit hard to find the road to turn onto but after we saw where we were the next day we did not have any problem finding it after a full day of exploring the beautiful CO mountains. The owners were easy to communicate with and were very responsive. The wi-fi was also strong. Unfortunately I had to do a work meeting via Zoom while we were there and I didn't have any connectivity issues. We had a great time and the cabin was perfect for us.

Amazing mountain cabin!

This cabin was absolutely wonderful and went beyond our expectations! We loved the location, the extensive surrounding acreage to roam, the cleanliness, the accommodations, and the character. Our hosts were very communicative and we had absolutely everything we needed! The only things I would mention that could possibly be improved are the pillows and possibly adding a bed upstairs in the loft. My daughter slept on the futon fine but would have preferred a bed if possible. She thoroughly enjoyed the extra space upstairs compared to the bedroom that her brother had downstairs though. We also loved all of the cool posters and artwork on the wall and the fairy book in the nightstand. The hosts seem like very interesting people that we would probably really enjoy hanging out with. Ha!

About the host

Host profile image
We are a midwest family with a love for the outdoors and nature.

Why they chose this property

We have been taking our kids to this area for 17 years. We finally had the opportunity to purchase a cabin but with busy kids, we don't get out to CO as much as we'd like. We hope you love it as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

When you walk into the cabin and see the expansive windows looking out you'll fall in love with this cabin. The land is truly amazing with the rock outcroppings, old ponderosa pines (sniff the bark --it smells like vanilla!), and aspens fluttering in the wind. Many bird species abound calling to one another. Take a hike and you'll see evidence of bears, elk, and moose.
