Enjoy being 5 minutes drive/ 15 minutes walk to downtown Estes Park shopping and restaurants without all the noise, traffic, and parking problems. It is 1255 square feet and is bordered on the north by a forest that was recently part of Rocky Mountain National Park, and was deeded to the Historic MacGregor Ranch conservation easement in a land exchange that enabled the Park to add hiking trails. These trails are 1 mile north of the cabin on MacGregor Ave/ Devil's Gulch. The Gem Lake trail is just one of these beautiful trails. The MacGregor herd of elk live near the Ranch which is 1/2 mile north of the cabin.
The Fall River and Beaver Meadows entrances to RMNP are approximately 2 miles from the cabin.
***Brand new ESTES VALLEY COMMUNITY CENTER with indoor running track, weight and cardio room, lap pool, kids leisure pool with waterslide and lazy river, and drop-in child care wile using facility. 7 minutes or 2.2 miles away
Since Rocky Mountain National Park built the cabin as a one room cabin, the cabin has quite a large living room with a fireplace. From the backyard sandstone patio, you have a magnificent view of Rock mountain National Park's Lumpy Ridge and Twin Owls; Said to have the best granite rock climbing in the state (Rocky Mountain News, Jan 20, 2009). People have seen elk, deer, abert squirrels, hummingbirds, wild turkey, numerous varieties of birds, chip monks, foxes, coyotes, a bobcat, pine martens, and other wildlife very close by, sometimes 2 feet from the kitchen table when the lights are off in the kitchen during the day.
Enjoy a morning cup of coffee on the sandstone patio while looking at the views of RMNPs Lumpy Ridge and Twin Owls. Cook after hiking on the gas grill and watch the sunset on Lumpy Ridge. At night sit on the front deck while looking at the stars.
Although close to downtown, the cabin is in a secluded, quiet setting at the end of a street. Since you can walk or drive less than a mile (9/10 of a mile) into town, you will have both easy access to Estes Park's downtown shopping and restaurants and the enjoyment of nature's tranquility and beauty. You also have quick and easy access to Safeway (the town's large grocery store), fast food, and the visitors center (5 minutes away).
I have various games and kids movies under the TV; a variety of books next to the stereo. There are condiments in the frig, plastic bags, spices, plus various other cooking supplies in the kitchen. Each bathroom has bath soap, shampoo, 2 rolls of toilet paper, and of course clean towels. Also it has a washer and dryer; and wireless internet.
The driveway can fit 2 cars which is next to Bear Proof Trash can in front of the cabin.
