Mountain Relaxation

Great place for a cozy and relaxing getaway for my spouse and I. Close to Estes Park for day trips and great for morning and evening R&R. Can hear the river stream while sitting on the porch by the table fireplace and in the jacuzzi. Enjoyed this stay very much and would come back.

Beautiful cabin

My family had such a relaxing 3 day stay. The drive up there is so pretty, the canyon is beautiful! The covered patio with the hot tube was nice. The beds and pillows were super comfortable. The cabin was clean and the inside aesthetics of the cabin are pretty. We went a couple days before Christmas and the cute Christmas tree they had set up was a really nice touch. You can hear the stream up to the cabin and the walk down the trail to the stream was so beautiful. The owner and his assistants stayed in contact with us the whole stay to make sure we needed anything and were very personable.

Updated and very clean cabin for a long weekend!

We really enjoyed our long weekend at Big Thompson Cabin. It was clean, updated, and very cozy. Halfway up the canyon, which makes it easy to get up to Estes (but not pay Estes prices), while also being about to get to Loveland relatively quickly. Would definitely stay here again! 5 stars!

There was a mishap with the hot tub and it didn’t work. Was to get a discount on the stay, we’ll see. It was finally ready for use the night before we left. The location is great and easy to get to where we wanted to be.

Relaxing and pet freindly

The cabin is clean and has everything you need. The hot tub is new since our last visit. There is no cell service, but that's to be expected due to the location in canyon. The river is beautiful, we saw bighorn sheep twice while driving to town. We like being between Estes Park and Loveland so we visit both. Having the garage is nice but we didn't use it. Finding a nice cabin that allows pets is the best thing ever, our dog loves to travel with us.

Hello! I'm Darin Glenn, a professional Airbnb host with a passion for providing exceptional stays. As a seasoned Realtor specializing in investment properties, I understand the importance of comfort, convenience, and a touch of luxury. My goal is to create an elevated vacation home experience for every guest.
Myself and my co-host Edina are readily available to help make your visit as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. I look forward to hosting you!

Why they chose this property

We love Bear & Boulder for its cozy wood-burning fireplace, relaxing hot tub, and outdoor gas fire table. This updated cabin combines rustic charm with modern comfort, letting you unwind while enjoying stunning mountain views. Just 10 miles from Estes Park and near Rocky Mountain National Park, it’s perfectly located to explore Colorado’s beauty. We hope you love it as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

We love starting our mornings on the porch with a warm cup of coffee, soaking in the breathtaking views. Darin enjoys taking our girls to the bottom of the driveway to fish and exploring nearby Lake Carter, just 15 minutes away. A short drive brings us to Estes or Loveland for dining or a family outing. Our cabin offers the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure—true Colorado living. We hope you find as much joy here as we do!
