About the host
Hosted by Danielle Witte
Meet Your Hosts: Danielle & Ben Witte
Hi, we’re Danielle and Ben Witte—Colorado natives with a lifelong love for the mountains. We grew up skiing fresh powder, hiking alpine trails, and camping under the stars. For both of us, Estes Park has always been a place of magic and meaning. It’s where some of our best childhood memories were made, and today, it’s where we continue to reconnect as a family.
We’re passionate about the outdoors and everything Colorado has to offer. Whether it’s casting a fly into a quiet stretch of river, watching wildlife at sunrise, or sharing stories around a campfire, we believe life is simply better in the mountains. Estes Park is a place that grounds you—it helps you breathe deeper, sleep better, and truly slow down.
This cabin is more than just a vacation rental—it’s a part of our story. We designed and built it with care and intention, hoping it would become a space where others can create lasting memories, just like we have.
We’re honored to share this peaceful mountain retreat with you. Whether it's your first time visiting Estes Park or you’re returning to a familiar favorite, we hope this place feels like home—and leaves you feeling rested, reconnected, and inspired.
Welcome to the mountains. We’re so glad you’re here.

Why they chose this property
Why We Chose This Location
We chose this neighborhood because it captures everything we love about mountain living—peaceful surroundings, stunning natural beauty, and a slower, more intentional pace that feels increasingly rare in today’s fast-moving world.
For years, we traveled to the mountains with our family, always searching for a place that felt like more than just a getaway. We wanted somewhere with breathtaking views, yes—but also a sense of belonging. The first time we visited this area, we knew we’d found it. The sound of the wind in the trees, the way sunlight dances across the peaks, the calm stillness of the river—it grounded us. We breathed deeper, laughed more, and reconnected with what truly matters.
What makes this neighborhood special isn’t just the location—though you are minutes from scenic trails, alpine lakes, and iconic mountain views. It’s the feeling you get when you’re here. Neighbors wave. Kids play outside. Evenings are filled with stories, campfires, and skies full of stars. It’s a place that invites connection and brings you back to simpler times.
This is a community that welcomes you to unplug, slow down, and focus on what matters most. Whether you're here for outdoor adventure or quiet rest, this setting makes it easy to do both—and to create lasting memories along the way.
We feel incredibly lucky to call this place part of our story, and we’re grateful to share it with guests like you.

What makes this property unique
What Makes Our Cabin Unique? The View—And the Feeling It Brings
What truly sets our Estes Park cabin apart is the view—not just its beauty, but how it makes you feel. Nestled right along the Big Thompson River, the cabin offers a front-row seat to Colorado’s natural splendor in every season. Nearly every window frames a postcard-perfect scene: rushing water, towering pines, and snow-dusted peaks on the horizon.
In summer, the spacious deck becomes the heart of the home. Wildflowers bloom, the river flows just steps away, and the mountain air feels fresh and grounding. It’s the perfect place to sip your morning coffee or unwind at sunset with a glass of wine. You might spot hummingbirds at the feeders or hear elk calling in the distance—gentle reminders that you’re truly immersed in nature.
In winter, the landscape turns into a quiet, snow-covered wonderland. Whether you’re curled up by the fireplace or watching snowflakes drift past the Great Room’s tall windows, it feels like living inside a snow globe. There's a stillness here that invites reflection and rest.
Each season brings something special:
Spring brings vibrant greens and rushing rivers fed by mountain snowmelt.
Summer offers wildflowers, wildlife, and long evenings by the water.
Fall transforms the mountains into a canvas of golden aspens and crisp air.
Winter wraps everything in peaceful silence and snow-draped beauty.
This cabin isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a place to feel. A true mountain escape where you can slow down, reconnect, and rediscover what matters most. The view may draw you in, but it’s the sense of peace and presence you’ll remember long after you leave.
