Charming Cabin!

We enjoyed our stay and loved the location! It was close to town, grocery store, restaurants, and park. Beds were comfortable with nice linens and quilts. The kitchen was well-appointed and very spacious. Cleanliness is a top priority and this cabin exceeded our expectations. The outdoor seating area was our favorite place to relax after a day of hiking in the park. We received fast responses from the owner and was easy to communicate with. Would stay here again!

Beautiful Cabin in Gorgeous Rocky Mtns

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this cabin. The porch was a treat with a beautiful front yard full of nature and was very clean. It is located conveniently near the RMNP entrance. The owner, Sue, was very thoughtful and easy to reach. We would definitely recommend to family/friends and would stay again upon a return to RMNP.

Wonderful home near Rocky Mtn National Park

We had an amazing time at this wonderful home. The location was perfect; really close to town & the National Park entrance. The owner, Sue, was very accommodating in answering all our questions & giving us ideas on where to eat & hike. And the house was perfect - we loved the rustic mountainy cabin look & feel & we had wonderful outdoor spaces to sit & enjoy the sunshine & the stars. (The pictures don't do it justice). Four sisters staying in a home with one shower made us a little nervous, but there was plenty of hot water (they must have a tankless hot water heater) so one shower was no problem. It was clean, well stocked, & we LOVED it. It really is a great place to stay &10/10 we would stay here again. If you are going to Rocky Mountain National Park, we highly recommend this home!

Well Located and Quiet Cabin

This cabin and its owners, Sue and Mark, are absolutely wonderful! From the communication to the cleanliness to the thoughtful tips, tricks, and items in the house, I cannot recommend them enough! This home is right outside of Rocky Mountain National Park and super close to town. It is fully equipped with all you need if you bring your kids. My three (9, 6, and 4) fully enjoyed exploring the property and playing with the toys. Sue is local and can provide you with any information you need! I could go on and on. Truly, this is a gem of a place and you will not be disappointed! Thank you so much, Sue and Mark, for sharing your special cabin with us!

Lovely cabin in Estes Park

There were so many wonderful things that we liked when it came to this rental. First of all the communication from the owner was great! She text to check on us, gave us advice on things to do nearby, and when we had one tiny thing that needed attention they were there within just a few minutes! The home has that older cabin homey feel, which we loved. And you are only a few minutes away from RMNP.

Wonderful cabin in Estes Park!

My family and I stayed in the Prospector cabin for 5 days and had a great experience. The cabin is close to the Beaver Meadows entrance to RMNP, which was a huge plus for us getting into the park quickly. The cabin itself was immaculate and had everything we needed for our stay (even a bag of ground, local coffee)! We saw deer, and elk and her baby, and lots of chipmunks on the property and it was a very quiet spot to rest after a long day of hiking. Sue was a great host with excellent communication. Highly recommended!

About the host

Hosted by Mark and Sue Werder

Host profile image
We have always wanted to "work where we live versus live where we work" in 2010 we took a chance and started our boutique vacation rental service business (Good Neighbor Vacation Rentals, LLC) in beautiful Estes Park, Colorado.

As frequent road warriors ourselves, we enjoy a high-quality travel and vacation experience. We aim to provide the same quality & customer service that we expect ourselves at our own vacation rental homes.

Please check-out what our guests have to say at all of our VRBO properties (over 600+ 5 star reviews)!!

"It's not just a transaction, for us it's our passion!"

PS- We are also diehard fans of the St. Louis Cardinals & Blues, Buffalo Bills & Sabres, world cup soccer and the Rocky Mountains!

Why they chose this property

We love historic homes after having restored our 100 year old arts and crafts gem in St Louis MO.
So when AspenHaus Prospector came on the market we walked through and in one minute we both knew how special it was!
There were 4 offers the same day offered; and we emerged as the lucky owners!

What makes this property unique

If you are looking for a true old-time Estes Park experiece our cabin cannot be beat (our opinion!)!! The exterior space is exceptional and peaceful, we walk to Town, wildlife abounds, we have sought to maintain the original charm while adding all of the modern conveniences. This cabin is truly special!!
