Historic Forested Cabin with Great Mountain Views | Cabin in Estes Park
2 Bedroom Cabin in Estes Park
Classic Estes Park cabin in historic wooded neighborhood next to Rocky Mountain National Park (20-NCD0362). Built in 1921 and restored in 2019, this cabin is situated to view Longs Peak and Twin Sisters Peak. It backs up to a meadow where deer and elk frequently browse during all seasons. Quintessential Estes Park architectural elements, such as a moss rock fireplace and antler door handles, are found throughout the cabin. A few minutes from the National Park entrance as well as downtown Estes Park.
THE SPACE
This well-reviewed, super-clean, beautiful and cozy cabin is nestled in the trees within a historic neighborhood of early twentieth century Colorado cabins. It offers tranquility and majestic views of one of the most beautiful sections of the Rocky Mountains. The cabin is a perfect place to stay if you are interested in viewing wildlife, fishing, hiking, snowshoeing, backcountry skiing, mountaineering, climbing, writing or just escaping to the mountains to relax. It is hard to stay any closer to Rocky Mountain National Park (4 minute drive to the National Park entrance station), but the cabin is also walking distance to a great breakfast burrito, a country market, and a few of Estes Park's best restaurants. An 8 minute drive gets you to downtown Estes Park or the historic Stanley Hotel.
The cabin was completely restored in 2019 to modern standards but maintains its character from 1921. Stay connected with good WiFi, listen to music on the stereo (bluetooth or aux plug connection), catch a movie on the Smart Fire TV, or lose yourself in one of the eclectic novels or Rocky Mountain National Park hiking and nature guides. The cabin is located in a small cluster of historic cabins so it is important to respect the neighbors and the wildlife.
The cabin is 650 square feet with a living area, dining area, kitchen, bathroom with shower and 2 cozy (small) bedrooms. A rustic porch has incredible mountain views and is a great place to relax.
BEDROOMS
The bedrooms are small, cozy, and offer great natural light. One bedroom has a double bed (new Tuft and Needle mattress) and the window faces a small, beautiful meadow that invites elk, deer, bobcats, bears, fox, coyote, and other mountain critters. The other bedroom has a single bed and a single pullout trundle (pictured), and an elk antler door handle.
DINING AND LIVING AREAS
The dining area includes a large, antique wooden table, pine chairs and an original built-in bench where decades of mountain-goers ate meals, played games and cards (included), and reminisced about great days in nature. The living area couch and reading chair are weathered perfectly and offer mountain views and a comfy place to read or drink a glass of wine. The exquisite stone fireplace was built by a prolific, local mason and serves as the focal point for the cabin interior. A convenient electric fireplace insert provides warmth and ambiance.
KITCHEN
The kitchen has a distinct cabin charm. Appliances include a gas stove, a small oven, a microwave and a modern retro refrigerator with freezer. The cabin is outfitted with a drip coffee maker and local organic coffee, as well as all the pots, pans, cutlery and dishes for a comfortable stay.
GUEST ACCESS
Guests have complete access to the property, including the front yard and porch. The property boundary is just beyond the back door, so guests are asked to respect the neighbor's property and not wander into the open meadow behind the house. We have parking for 2 cars.

Tyler 11/2020 "This cabin is perfect!!! My family of four had the greatest time. It’s cozy and quaint in a perfect location. Erik was so helpful with check in and the place was spotless. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a little thanksgiving dinner. Such a great place to stay!"
Kris 8/2020 "Absolutely perfect location for access to RMNP. Super clean and very cozy. My 12 year old son and had a trip of a lifetime. We would definitely stay here again if we make it back to RMNP again."
Courtney 7/2020 "Rivendell is a dream come true. It’s one of the most cozy, unique places I have ever stayed. The view, the wooden craftsmanship touches, the perfect little cabin kitchen, the close proximity to RMNP... I could go on and on about the magic of Erik’s place. I can’t wait to return someday!"
Bethany 3/2020 "The cabin was really beyond what I expected. You’re greeted by small Rivendell sign and small stained glass window on the front door on a patio facing the mountains. So there’s a bit of curiosity walking into the place. The cabin itself is stocked with everything you need and then some. I was happy to find some treats waiting for me along with a full bookcase (including Sandra Cisneros)! The bed was comfortable and room was warm. I stayed by myself but it’s a good size for a small family. There are games, a blow dryer, outlets, and some great local tips for your outdoor adventure. Definitely recommend this spot! Extra plus: it was really cool to see the unique and antique features all around this little hobbit house.
