About this property
Unbelievable River Front Cabin
You won't find a cabin with a closer location to the river because it is no longer allowed. Feel the splash of the river on your front porch and witness time and the burdens of life disappear as you settle into Rivers Edge on the Thompson River.
This one-bedroom classic cabin sits on the edge of the Thompson River and has been completely redecorated and upgraded. For not much more than the price of a hotel, you can stay in paradise and truly have a vacation that you will remember.
Located approximately 5 minutes to the entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park and 10 minutes from downtown Estes Park, Rivers Edge is part of 13 cabins at Idlewild by the River that were the original workforce housing for the workers that built the infrastructure for the National Park. Be part of Rocky Mountain history and lore when you call this cabin your base camp for your Rocky Mountain Adventures.
We believe in the “everything included” model for your stay with us. Everything from linens, toiletries, spices and your own propane BBQ to make your stay enjoyable. Enjoy Wifi, smart TVs, and a Keurig Coffee maker. There is a community hot tub and a large shoreline for fly fishing or river recreation.
This is a new listing for us but book with confidence as we offer our love it or money-back guarantee. If upon check-in you do not like the cabin for any reason or feel that anything was misrepresented in the listing, we will give you a full refund with no questions asked.
We also own the neighboring property called River Spruce so feel free to see our reviews there. We hope you will love this gorgeous classic mountain cabin at Idlewild by the River.
