If you’re looking for a location close to RMNP but still want solitude, this is the cabin for you.
Both the Long’s Peak and Wild Basin entrances are 5 minutes away.
Estes Park is only about 20 minutes and the drive is beautiful.
The cabin is small and rustic, but has everything you need. It made our childhood dreams of living in an A-frame in the woods come true..
The view from the bed in the loft bedroom in the early morning and on starry nights is amazing!
The stairs are steep. We took a little flashlight up with us to see in the middle of the night without waking the other person.
The living room furniture definitely needs to be replaced, but everything was very clean.
Our biggest con has nothing to do with the cabin itself, but rather the pet fee. We have a 20lb, non-shedding dog and at $50/night, this added up to a whopping $550 for our 11 night stay. We did not notice this when we booked and at that time it was too late to change.
All in all, we loved the cabin and would stay there again if the pet fee was a little more reasonable.
