Large Home , STUNNING VIEWS, NATIONAL FOREST, CLOSE TO ESTES



This cabin home is private and has stunning views surrounded by aspens that are close to family attractions. Hiking trails are steps from the property. There is a river that runs through the property. This house features a master bedroom, full bath, and an additional attached room with daybed and trundle. There is a nice kitchen with a pantry and living area with a large dining table that will seat 10. The bottom floor has a den with a queen sleeper and a bunk room (sleeps 4) with a bath attached that includes a shower. This cozy home features an expansive living area with large open windows overlooking nature, hardwood floors, a wood burning stove and lots of cozy recliners. The home sits on 3 acres and includes a play structure with two playhouses for the children as well as a large deck that sits on the top level for nice views. The South St. Vrain Creek runs through the property with a bridge and a fishing dock directly over the water for relaxing or fishing or enjoying the crisp mountain water. There is also a pond on the property and a fire-pit for barbecuing or just relaxing under the stars at night. There is a gas grill and a self-enclosed fire pit for deck usage. Bring your swimsuit we have a salt water hot tub! The Ceran St. Vrain Trailhead is only 200 yards away and miles and miles of forest service trails with lots of tall lodge pole pines make for the perfect hike. Embrace the wonders of mountain serenity in one place, but escape to Jamestown for a good cup of coffee or eating just 4 miles away.

For nightlife travel 30 minutes east and arrive in the exciting city of Boulder, 35 minutes south and arrive at the Gambling cities of Blackhawk/Central City, or travel over the Peak to Peak Highway--nationally designated a Scenic Byway and stop at Estes Park for shopping, dining, entertainment and Rocky Mountain National Park.

This cabin is perfect for holiday getaways too.




Keywords: Beautiful Aspens Quite Mountain home, near trailhead, fishing, hiking, close to Estes, hot tub, snowmobiling minutes away. Ski at Eldora in Winter just 30 minutes away or Gamble at Central City/Black Hawk another 15 minutes further. Estes park is 27 miles away. Lots to do in Winter or Summer!

Perfect Location
We were pleased with the access to all the adventures in the area.The trail next door, Estes Park,Nederland,Lyons (tubing) and Brainard Lake (great for moose sightings). Only thing to note is that you will have to supply paper products(napkins, Kleenex, extra toilet paper). Overall cleanliness was good. It is a camp but perfect for a great Colorado Mountain experience. We especially enjoyed bird watching on the large deck.

Our getaway to Ward Colorado, and skiing at Eldora, and then on to Estes Park!
We enjoyed our wonderful stay here, 7 of us, and the proximity to Eldora Ski Resort. And then we visited Estes Park on the way back easbound. Loved the hot tub (I've owned hot tubs for years; we appreciated that the owner spent the $$ to upgrade his jacuzzi to salt water) ... it was perfect after all day skiing at Eldora. We will return next year!

Family Vacation
This is the second time we have stayed in the cabin. The first was 2021. Close enough to Estes, RMNP, & Boulder for day trips but walking distance to St Vrain Trailhead. A walk in the National Forest was a great way to start and end the day. The hottub was the best way to follow up the hikes! We saw a large deer or small elk elk about 50ft away from the cabin when we grilled and were eating on the deck. Planning to return for visit #3 2025 or 2026.

Nice mountain cottage
Overall our family of 6 had a great stay. We enjoyed having a close hiking trail nearby and the hot tub. It was also a great location to bounce back between the Boulder and Estes Park area. The kids were never bored there with out the TV and found enough toys and games to keep them busy. Everyone slept great in the beds.

Great Weekend Getaway
That a surprise to walk into such a beautiful place. Clean, lots of cooking utensils and pots and pans, dishes and everything we needed for the weekend. Beautiful walking paths and was so much fun sitting around the fire pit telling scary stories. Everyone loved it and plan to make a trip back.

Kid friendly, beautiful property, and a perfect little river!!!
I cannot say enough about this property!!! We spent hours playing right on the river with the little kids, so fun. The deck was perfect for evening cocktails. The deck and hot tub was perfect for watching the sunrise. The house was clutter free and very kid friendly. It was a perfect vacation for my little family. I would definitely stay there again !!!

Texans on spring break
This cabin was a great place for 10 college students looking for some nature! Our group enjoyed the mountainous location, and packed each day with activities and games at night. We all hung out in the large living area, ate dinners at the big dining room table, and relaxed in the hot tub. Definitely a great break away from school and screens!

We stayed with our 6 kids ages 2-16. This was absolutely perfect and we hope to do it again. You can totally drink the water (other commenters said you shouldn't, well water is safe to drink). We loved every minute. Thanks!

Great for hikers, and to disconnect
Literally right at the Ceran St. Vrain trailhead. You can easily get in a morning hike up and down the trail before many other people arrive. Situated at about 8100' amongst several hills and mountains, you won't be getting cell signal to be tempted by distractions (although there is wifi available in the cabin if you really need it).

Wonderful!
Beautiful location. Kids loved exploring outside. Could use a new set of pots and pans, but that was a minor inconvenience. No bear sightings but a big moose crossed our path driving back to the rental our 2nd night 🙂 Plenty of beds, but mattresses are not super comfortable. Nice big table for meals. Great spot for a family get together!

Nice and quiet
Location was perfect. Nice and quiet. The yard was overgrown so the kids couldn't play on the playground equipment. We planed to grill our first night but there was no propane. I messaged the owner about it and he never responded.
