Amazing trip

We had an amazing time getting away and disconnecting! The house had all the amenities we needed. It was quiet and somewhat secluded. While packing up I looked up and a moose was looking through the window at me!! One thing to note, there is absolutely no cell signal there. I arrived and didn't have the code to get the keys so I had to drive to get signal so I could get in. Luckily the Raymond store up the road had free wifi.

Magical

Thank you for sharing your little piece of heaven. The rocky, burbling creek is the selling point of this property. We spent most of our free time on the patio next to the water. The communication from the hosts is excellent with very clear instructions, The home has everything you need and we were comfortable. We would definitely stay again!

Amazing.

The cabin was extremely clean and cozy. You can hear the river from the master bedroom making for an amazing night of sleep. This is the perfect place if you’re looking for a quiet getaway. Estes Park is a very scenic 30 minute drive away and gives you access to everything you would need.

Mind & Soul at Peace!

Can’t wait to stay here again. My daughter, a freshman at CSU had a small break from school. I traveled from Illinois to stay here with her for the long weekend. This place was exactly what we needed to relax, decompress and listen to nature. It was absolutely perfect in every way. It was clean, the location is beautiful and quiet. There are neighbors but you can’t really even see their house. Despite there being neighbors, we felt completely alone. I can’t even describe the walk down to the river, words can’t describe how absolutely beautiful it is. The master bed along with the bedding was perfect, so comfortable and cozy, we slept amazing each night. The owners were quick to respond to me. I appreciated the cold spring water, it was delicious! We grilled out and played games, and relaxed! Bonus, the owners left 2 pairs of wader boots so we were able to walk the river a bit. I’ve never felt so at ease and comfortable as I did when staying here.

A Frame

Lots to like. It is nicely appointed and is on the river. Downsides are there are few windows and even fewer with screens. This is problematic in the summer as there is no AC. Additionally, this is not a secluded location. It’s in a neighborhood of sorts, and the property next door and across the river are less than desirable. Despite those limitations, it’s a nice property and the owner is very communicable.

Cute little cabin by the river.

Cute little cabin in Riverside close to Lyons. House has all you need including kitchen utensils, toiletries and games. They left bottled water for us which was great! The stairs to the second floor, where the bedrooms are, is a little small so I wouldn’t recommended for people with mobility isssues or elderly. Bathroom is in the first floor. We were looking for simple, secluded and nature so it was great for us. We played games and watch a movie by the fireplace after hiking all day. We even saw a big moose in the backyard.

Clean but dated cabin, but great spot by the river

This cabin is on a beautiful lot right by the river. You can hear the sounds of the river while hanging out in the cabin. It was very clean, but also dated. The furniture was not comfortable as it was older, like mid century style. A few things that weren’t great: very little water pressure in the shower, only had a one cup coffee maker, light switch in living room did not work so we had no lights in that area, smoke detectors on main level were missing-kind of a big deal, and bulbs throughout home were missing as well. So lighting was kind of an issue at night. It is about 35 minutes to Estes and it was a beautiful drive. I would not stay again just due to comfortability, but it was clean and a nice outside area.

Fantastic getaway

We enjoyed our stay very much. The house is neat, clean and uncluttered. The remote control fireplace on those cold evenings was so warm and inviting. Listening to the river, while lying in bed, was one of my most favorite parts of our stay! The river is beautiful. We enjoyed our coffee there most mornings. The location of the home is perfect. It’s far enough away from any hustle and bustle, yet close enough to the small, cute town of Lyons to get groceries. The drive to the property is gorgeous! We enjoyed this charming house and would recommend this property to our friends!

Great Labor Day Weekend Getaway!

This cabin was the perfect blending of location and seclusion! The cabin is well suited for a couple but you could easily have up to four staying here. The back deck is literally steps away from the St. Vrain River and there is a stairway leading directly to the water's edge. A large deck platform right by the river was the best place to relax and take in the sights and sounds. We appreciated the quick access to Estes Park and the eastern side of RMNP. We started out Labor Day weekend with a stop in Boulder on the way to the cabin and enjoyed the Pearl Street Mall. The next two days were a mix of hiking in the park, sightseeing, an arts fair in Estes Park and some great down time sitting on the back deck by the river. The hosts were quick to reply to communications and check-in was a breeze.

Beautiful river view

This place is a total gem! We knew it would be special based on the photos, but it exceeded our expectations. It was quiet, serene, peaceful and comfortable. Your access to the water is incredible. You can enjoy a glass of wine or coffee on any of the decks and enjoy the river and the little river landing is incredible. I spent many an evening sitting right by the riverside surrounded by beautiful blooming daisies. It has everything you could need in the kitchen, and Taylor and Tyler were highly responsive. We didn’t want to leave!

Great Mountain Getaway

This is a perfect place to stay if you want to relax and enjoy nature. The cabin had everything we needed- well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and indoor and outdoor living spaces. It was also extremely clean and safe for two women traveling alone. We loved being able to walk out and hang out by the river. We had a few polar plunges after some amazing hikes. Very convenient location if you want to go to RMNF, Estes Park and other trails. I highly recommend.

Perfect place to get away

The A frame was simply magical! Clean and well stocked, the property was the perfect get away. The national park is a beautiful short 35 minute drive away. Coming back to the house and relaxing after a day in the park was the perfect ending to the day. It is simply delightful to sit on the porch and hear the rushing water. We will definitely be coming back to this charming paradise in the woods! Can’t recommend enough❤️

River retreat

The setting was gorgeous with a churning river right outside of the property. The living room was spacious with nice lighting and views. The kitchen was well equipped and the place was clean. The owner left beers in the fridge as well as coffee and tea. Sugar was also provided, which was a very nice touch. However, in the bathroom the claw foot tub had brown scale around the bottom quarter of the tub and was not inviting. Although there were two bedrooms, you have to go through the master to get to the other one. A smaller point was that there was only one small mirror in the cabin, in the bathroom above the vanity. One of us was short - 4'4 - and unable to use it. A fuller length mirror would have been excellent. Another important thing to note is that there is no cell phone service in the area and in the surrounding area it can be very spotty. So the way to communicate to the outside world when you are there is through email.

This was the perfect place for us. Clean, cozy, and everything we needed.

Location was close enough to town and close enough to Rocky Mountain National Park. Would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Taylor and Tyler

We both grew up in Minnesota, but for the past 15 years have called Colorado home. Tyler is an architect by day and artist by night. I am a stay-at-home mom and yoga teacher. We love the life we have created in Denver, but leaving the city to retreat to the river is a must. We wish to raise our sweet boy in the wild as much as possible.

This retreat space has been a dream of mine for many years, when not being used for vacation rentals, I lead Yoga + Nature retreats. For more information please visit my website- www.taylorroseyoga.com

Why they chose this property

Coming into relationship with this property has been the greatest gift. We wish to share this gift with you.

Driving into the canyon and I can feel my stress melt away. The cliffs are so big and suddenly my problems so small. The riverside community is quaint and the river road quiet. Pulling up and seeing the poppies, my heart begins to sing. The evergreens feel like a warm hug as I walk towards the rushing river. I can breathe. I sit on the edge, admiring the structure of the bank and of the obstacles of rocks through which the water flows. So many paths, yet only one direction; in and through. A hummingbird keeps close by. I haven't been home in quite some time. It feels good to be home.

What makes this property unique

Riverside drive follows the river and is perfect for a quiet walk or bike ride.
Property is tucked away off the road and surrounded by pine trees.
-8o feet of river front, with direct swimming access
-16 foot deck overlooking the river
-Additional private patio and top balcony
