You can’t stay any closer to the river because it’s no longer allowed. Rainbow is a modern rustic, year-round cabin perched directly on the edge of the Thompson River, just minutes from the Beaver Meadows entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park and downtown Estes Park. Fish just steps from your front door.
Wake to the gentle sound of the river flowing past your cabin, sunlight filtering through the pines, and crisp mountain air welcoming you to the heart of the Rockies. Spend the day casting a line just steps from your door, firing up the grill, throwing darts, or enjoying a relaxed game of cornhole on the grounds. As evening settles in, open a bottle, sink into your private hot tub, and watch the river drift by while the day slowly fades. Welcome to Rainbow.
ABOUT THE CABIN
This beautifully updated modern rustic cabin features a master bedroom with a queen bed, comfortably sleeping two guests. Enjoy your own private hot tub in front of the cabin, a fire pit, and breathtaking views of scenic water and nature, towering pine trees, and local wildlife.

We really enjoyed the location facing the creek and woods on the other side. It’s just minutes from both the YMCA facility and the national park, and we took advantage of both. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
This place was so beautiful, relaxing, and exactly what we were looking for. I was actually stunned at the fact that it was even more beautiful than the pictures indicated. The property management was extremely helpful and answered our questions promptly. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay for a week or more! Five Stars! Will book again!
Such a great little spot literally on the river. Cozy and rustic cabin is well appointed and as described online. Property manager is super nice and just a text away if you need anything. Entire property is well maintained. Loved just sitting by the river every morning and night. Great location in Estes Park. Will be back!
Accurately portrayed on Vrbo.
Good deal for the price.
Not luxurious but just right for us.
Would gladly return if the occasion for RMNP hiking recurs.
The cabin was beautiful. Listening to the river right outside the door was relaxing. Sitting in the hot tub after a long hike was just what we needed. Secluded but yet close to the conveniences of food and shopping. Close to the park!

This is not breath-taking. The Rainbow cabin is worn down, small, old, and kind of dirty. The carpet is decades old, stained, vacuumed but dirty. The windows are dirty. The hot tub was cloudy and had an old smell. I didn’t use it. The bedroom window lock was broken and left the place vulnerable for a break-in. The river was nice and the staff was super nice, but they way overcharge, and it’s not worth it. They charge a lot for cleaning. The place did not feel that clean for that cost. I came home early.Better to stay somewhere really nice, then go hang out by the river in the Rocky Mountain National Park.
