Great views from 2 decks, block from town, across from nature preserve, Hot Tub!

Relax, rejuvenate and recharge in this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath mountain cabin that has everything you could hope for in an Estes Park vacation home. It’s within easy walking distance to downtown restaurants and shopping, and a close drive to the main attraction – Rocky Mountain National Park!
This house is perfect for making memories with friends and family. Enjoy your morning coffee on our beautiful outdoor deck, which overlooks parkland and has an amazing view of the Stanley Hotel. Have fun making meals in the fully-stocked kitchen, and eating together as a family around the large dining table. Two living areas (on separate floors) allow you to play games and relax as a family, or split up into your own areas.
After a day of exploring Rocky Mountain National Park (or shopping in Estes Park), a fun evening and a good night’s sleep awaits you. Walk into town for dinner and drinks, or grill out on the outdoor deck. Each bedroom is beautifully decorated with a mountain theme, and is equipped with a flat screen TV if you just want some quiet time. The downstairs game room has a sectional/sleeper sofa and offers a great place to play games and watch movies. Before bed, enjoy a soothing soak in the outdoor hot tub and take in the night sky.

We have highspeed gigabit internet connection (940mbps) for those who need to telework! Great connectivity for video zoom calls, streaming movies, and more! Cable Tv in every room, board games, dominoes, cards and more. Hiking trails directly across the street and large 6 person private hot-tub. Loads of fun for the family at your fingertips.

This property in 100% self-managed. We take pride in our home and offer guest personal experience with suggestions from "locals" on what to do around town, best RMNP hikes, and of course our favorite places to eat and drink. No worries about illegal rentals, the town of Estes Park has strict licensing requirements for vacation rentals and our house is fully compliant and registered (registration number 3222).

Great location and cozy house
This house was perfect for our family of 4 but would easily accommodate another couple. Very clean and cozy. We didn't spend a bunch of time in the house due to exploring RMNP but when we did we were soaking in the hot tub looking up at the stars and listening the elk bugle. Such a great spot.

Great location
The location was close to town and the Stanley and the accommodation was nice. We didn’t use the hot tub, but the deck is beautiful. I didn’t realize we were so close to a main road. I also didn’t realize that checkout is 10 AM and there were a lot of things to do to check out (start a load of laundry, etc) Although we enjoyed our stay, I’m not sure it was the best bang for our buck, but it’s prime time in Estes Park.

Wonderful place to vacation with family
My family comes to Rocky Mountain National Park fairly regularly (every year or two), and this is my favorite of the houses we’ve stayed in. The main floor master was perfect for my elderly parents. The kitchen was well-appointed. Everything was super clean. I was worried about being so close to downtown, but that was just a bonus—we had no noise, and the view with the park across the street was spectacular. One evening, we looked out from the porch to see some 18 elk in the park. Magnificent.

Beautiful location!
Our family had an amazing first time in Estes Park. Elk cabin is located a block from downtown shops but still has the feel of being outside of town. We enjoyed seeing all of the elk across the street and several in the driveway every day. After a long day of hiking, the hot tub was great for the sore muscles. There was plenty of room for us to spread out. Besides my husband and myself, we traveled with our kids ages 20, 17, and 16. We highly recommend staying at the Elk Cabin due to location, cleanliness, and the views. We can’t wait to comeback!

Great location, cabin felt like home
We really enjoyed our stay at Elk Cabin in Estes Park. The location is perfect, walking distance to town. The Safeway grocery store is a short drive (3-5 min.) It’s also close to the Historic Stanley Hotel. And most importantly very convenient to Rocky Mountain National Park. Elk Cabin is exactly as pictured but even better in person. It is very cozy and feels like home. Beds were comfortable, and we enjoyed the hot tub at night. Full size washer and dryer was a nice benefit too. We had 3 young adults with us and it was nice to have the basement area for them to hang out. Brent and Deb’s communications were very helpful and thorough! We would stay here again, don’t hesitate to book Elk Cabin!

Beautiful home with a gorgeous view
This home was the perfect retreat after a week of work in Denver. At night, it's dark enough to see thousands of stars and in the morning, a coffee on the deck, while listening to the creek across the street was serene. One evening, there were elk just meandering over there. It's a short trek to food, shopping, the Stanley Hotel and hiking trails. A short drive to the Rocky Mountain National Park and many other sights. Home was stocked with plenty of essentials, a grill, relaxing hot tub and a great binder full of how to's on everything in the home, places to visit, eat and drink. Be warned, must places close by 10pm for food and drinks, so if you're out in the parks late, have snacks back at home or check out Lonigans, as they are open a little later, had great food and drinks but it does get loud on karaThis home was the perfect retreat after a week of work in Denver.

Plenty of space close to downtown
Nice, clean place to stay with hot tub and walking distance to downtown and plenty of room in the 3 bedrooms and living areas. Only thing that was unexpected from the listing was that the back patio hot tub was very near a busy street so not a lot of privacy but blocked by a fence so that made it better. Working fireplace upstairs made it cozy and had everything we needed for a long weekend.
