About this property

New Home on the Big T River/ AC/1mi to EP & 2mi to RMNP/fish outside your door!

Estes Park Vacation Rental License #6076

New 2000 sq ft home, riverfront, close to Town & RMNP
Summer Guests- This home has air conditioning which is very rare in Estes Park!!

Riverside Lodge is perfectly situated with prime upstream and downstream views of the Big Thompson River. Top it all off with the backdrop of Prospect Mountain and you have the perfect Rocky Mountain retreat.

From Riverside Lodge it is just a short walk into the Town of Estes Park and an easy 1.5 mile drive to the Beaver Meadows entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park.

The main level great room has a gas fireplace to gather at with river and mountain views all around...no artwork needed on these walls! This is simply the ideal family gathering place with its adjoining fully equipped kitchen and dining room area. Gaze out to take in the perfectly clear Colorado sky, river and mountain views!!

From the great room you can step out to a fantastic deck to enjoy excellent mountain views along with the sights and sounds of the Big Thompson River! Take it all in while enjoying a cup of morning coffee, evening glass of wine, reading a good book or cooking dinner on the gas grill!

The cozy master bedroom en suite is also located on the main level (king bed). Open the windows and let the sounds of the Big Thompson lull you to sleep.

A second family room is located in the lower level along with 2 bedrooms (one king bed and 2 twins) and a full bath with tub/shower. There is a queen size pullout sofa in the common area. From this level you can walk out onto the covered patio and spot elk and other wildlife moseying along the Big Thompson River! Or simply sit back, relax, and enjoy the view!

A two car attached garage space comes with this rental. There is also a main floor laundry room.

As our guest you will enjoy access to HOA-shared common fishing areas along the Big Thompson river.

Wildlife sightings abound with frequent visits from elk, deer, wild turkeys and even an occasional bobcat.

Need we go on... Riverside Lodge is perfect in every way... not just another vacation rental but a perfect mountain home!

Amazing stay!

We loved our time in Estes Park! This home exceeded our expectations! It was clean and homey from the minute you walked in! The views of the river and having access to sit outside to hear it were so fun. The home had everything you needed which made it effortless to stay for a few days and truly relax and enjoy! Sue was excellent giving recommendations and being available before and during our stay. We would definitely stay here again due to the beautiful home, great customer service, and location!

AAAA++++ property!

We are truly grateful for the generous hospitality and for giving us the opportunity to appreciate the gifts of Mother Nature right outside our windows and doors. The excellent location, thoughtful amenities, cleanliness, and stunning surroundings did not go unnoticed. Relaxing by the river was a particularly cherished experience. We would definitely recommend this property to anybody who appreciates nature and who loves to watch the river flow (rush) by. The host was exceptional, and the cleaniness was above all. We will definitely revisit when we come to Estes Park again. Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely wonderful in every way

We had a family gathering to enjoy nature and each other's company before I start chemotherapy next week. The hours we spent beside the river, along the trails and in Rocky Mountain National Park are cherished memories. The property is beautiful, the location is perfect, and the property manager is outstanding. The kitchen is well-stocked, too. Truly exceptional.

Perfect Home

We absolutely loved our stay. The house was clean and comfortable. it is also stocked with everything you need from detergents, toilet paper, paper towels, and more. The location is another perk. It is right on the river, creating such a peaceful atmosphere. It is also close to everything in Estes Park and RMNP. Finally, the house manager was super helpful with all of our questions and very friendly. We will definitely stay again next time we visit RMNP!

Awesome home, location and view!

This is our 2nd stay here and we can’t imagine better lodging for our family’s annual visit to Estes Park. The Big Thompson River is right outside the back door and deck. We only have to walk a few feet to put a line in the water. The sound and view is mesmerizing. And just minutes to RMNP. The house is stylish and comfortable. We will definitely be back!
