Cozy Winter Retreat

We really had a great stay in this cabin. It was absolutely perfect for a cozy winter vacation. Beds and couches were super comfy with a well stocked kitchen and bathrooms with everything we needed. The back porch overlooking the river was also something special. Not to mention the hosts were also very responsive. The only downside is we didn’t get to stay longer! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a cute cabin in Estes Park. Don’t pass this one up.

Among our most favorite vacation rentals ever!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Riverfront Mountain Cottage Retreat. Our only wish was that we could have stayed longer! The location is wonderful - close enough to town, RMNP and our favorite restaurants. Being right on the river is such a relaxing setting and we loved hearing the sounds of water rushing through our open windows at night. The home is stocked with everything we needed and the furniture is fitting and super comfortable - especially the master bed! We look forward to returning!!

Great cabin, great location to RMNP and Estes Park!

The porch area that backs up to the Big Thompson River is amazing! Grocery store and gas 5 minutes away, quiet neighborhood!

Perfect Vacation Home

Our family loved our 2 night stay and wish we could have extended our time. Everything was beautiful and cozy. We loved the porch with the river flowing. Our kids enjoyed roasting marshmallows and playing family games. It was the perfect stay in Estes and we hope to return!
