About this property

Original RMNP River Front Cabin on Thompson River

You can’t stay any closer to the river because it is no longer allowed. Original cabin that was once located inside the National Park. It was moved in the 40’s to its current location on the edge of Thompson River just minutes from the Beaver Meadows entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park and downtown Estes Park. Fish steps from your cabin.

Imagine waking up in the morning to the gentle sound of a river in front of your cabin while the sun shines through the pine trees and the wind serenades your arrival in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Welcome to “Thunderbird”.

Slow down and introduce your loved ones to the outdoors and the simple pleasures of life as your parents and grandparents once did for you.

**Upon booking, you will receive a welcome message with a pdf version of our Welcome Guide. Please make sure to read in order to learn how to check-in and enjoy your overall experience.**

This updated modern rustic is a 1-bedroom Cabin with a queen bed and a pull-out sofa. Enjoy your own private fire pit, amazing views of the river, pine trees, and wildlife. Wi-Fi, DirecTV, Roku, Keurig coffee maker and a fully stocked kitchen. Fish right in front of your cabin, BBQ, shoot darts, or challenge your loved one to an epic game of corn-hole on our grounds.

Thunderbird is part of River Spruce Cabins, an intimate 10 cabin resort on the Thompson River where you can fish in front of your cabin or toast s'mores in front of your fire pit. Be one of the lucky ones to enjoy this special place and become a member of the long lines of families that keep returning year after year. This is not a cheap Spartan experience. We go out of our way to make sure you have a complete experience with modern amenities and tasteful décor.

This cabin does not contain a hot tub. If you would like a cabin with a hot tub, please see our other cabins.

We are a fully automated resort, so you will not have to wait in line to check-in, fumble with keys, or check-out. Everything is simple and included like linens, towels, cookware, condiments and toiletries.

Book with confidence as we offer you our “love it” guarantee. If for any reason you don’t love the place or feel we have misrepresented our place in any way, let us know when you arrive, and we will give you a full refund (less 3rd party fees), no questions asked.

Great cabin and location

The cabin was clean and had all we needed. The location next to the Big Thompson River was beautiful. Also being on CO 66 worked well with easy access to Estes Park and RMNP.
