A TRUE RIVERFRONT EXPERIENCE
The Big Thompson River flows directly past the property, creating a setting that feels private, calming and connected to nature. Start the morning with coffee overlooking the water, watch for wildlife along the river and end the day listening to the current beneath a sky filled with stars.
Private river access is located just steps from the cabin. When weather and river conditions permit, guests can enjoy fishing, wildlife watching, birdwatching, photography or simply sitting beside the water.

The cabin is also a welcoming setting for a romantic December escape, a family holiday trip or a peaceful break before the new year. Holiday dates are limited, so advance reservations are recommended.
EXPLORE ESTES PARK
Downtown Estes Park is just a short drive from the cabin and offers locally owned restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, galleries, boutiques and seasonal activities. Cooler months offer a more relaxed way to experience town, with fewer crowds and shorter waits than the peak summer season.
Spend the day browsing shops, enjoying a warm meal or looking for elk and other wildlife throughout the Estes Valley. Then return to the privacy of the cabin, where the sound of the river replaces the activity of town.
DISCOVER ROCKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK
Rocky Mountain National Park is open year-round and offers unforgettable scenery in every season. Depending on weather and trail conditions, winter visitors can enjoy hiking, snowshoeing, scenic drives, photography and wildlife viewing.
Watch for elk, mule deer, bighorn sheep and other Colorado wildlife throughout the area. Some high-elevation roads, trails and activities may be limited during the winter, so guests should check current park and road conditions before heading out.
After exploring, return to the fireplace and unwind while the Big Thompson River flows just outside.
FISHING ON THE BIG THOMPSON RIVER
The Big Thompson River is known for brown and rainbow trout, and private river access is available directly from the property. When weather, river levels and seasonal conditions allow, anglers can enjoy the convenience of fishing only steps from the cabin.
Whether you are an experienced fly angler or simply enjoy spending time beside the water, the river adds something special to every stay. Guests are responsible for obtaining the appropriate Colorado fishing license and reviewing current regulations and conditions.
A PEACEFUL WINTER RETREAT
November brings crisp days, quiet evenings and a slower pace throughout the Estes Park area. December adds holiday charm and the possibility of fresh snow transforming the river and surrounding landscape into a winter wonderland.
Mountain weather can change quickly. Guests should pack warm layers, monitor forecasts and road conditions, and come prepared for winter driving. Snow and icy conditions are possible, and an appropriate vehicle is strongly recommended during winter weather.
