About this property
Modern Mountain Cabin with Treehouse & New Hot Tub Under the Stars near RMNP
Escape to your own private Colorado retreat, nestled in the rocks and just minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park. This unique property includes both a cozy cabin and a charming treehouse, making it the perfect winter getaway for couples, families, or anyone craving a peaceful mountain escape while avoiding the ski crowds. The Alpine Escape has a Hot Tub with heat tracks mats, a fireplace, & fire pit. It is a modern cabin nestled in the rocks with all the comforts of home. All newer furniture and bedding (comfy mattresses and pillows). You can sit on the front or back deck of the house and hear the sounds of the Middle St Vrain River down below. The kitchen is well equipped with all the essentials you might need. We have some really cool yard games (giant connect four, plastic axe throwing, etc.), board games, a dart board, a foosball table, an arcade game, and good Wi-Fi for streaming or working remotely. Main bedroom is large with a queen size bed with wood burning fireplace and seating, smart tv, walk in closet with light up makeup vanity, and access to a private back patio. Bring your own firewood during the winter months if you would like to use the wood burning fireplace. Second sleeping area is a loft overlooking the living room with a queen bed and a large smart tv. The cabin is located on Riverside Drive in South St. Vrain Canyon and accessible via County maintained paved roads that are plowed regularly during the winter. It is approximately 15 minutes from downtown Lyons, 15 minutes to Allenspark, 30 minutes to Estes Park, 30 minutes to Boulder or Longmont, and 45 minutes to Eldora Ski area. It is also within a 15 minute drive to a very cute little town with a country store for essentials such as milk and eggs, gas, a couple restaurants, a liquor store, and a spring to refill water containers for free. We are near the Middle St. Vrain River with great fishing, hiking trails, off-roading trails, biking, etc. all close by. The town of Lyons is very cute with restaurants, ice cream shop, and lots of things to do throughout the year such as a huge blue grass music festival during the summer, tubing on the river, and a parade of lights in December. If you have any special requests just let us know and we will do our best to accommodate. A four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive is required from December through March in case of a heavy snow during your stay. No pets other than max of 2 dogs. Please mark if you are bringing a pet so the pet fee will be applied and we know about it. Fully fenced area (approximately 4 ft tall) on side yard wherefire pit seating and grill area are located, dog bowls, small kennel, and towel for paws.

An amazing place to stay for peace and quiet or getting out for adventure. So many trails near by and even more sights to see. The house and property were amazing. If we are ever in the area again we will try booking this for for sure!!
The property was amazing and had so many fun things to do. It’s in a beautiful location and we had some bear visitors the first night. So amazing to see!! Host was wonderful to communicate with and was always available. Would definitely rent again.
We stayed for a few days while my husband had business in Denver. Peaceful, quiet, clean. Great little property to spend some downtime. Cindy was very helpful when needed. We would stay again.

It was a lovely retreat space. We loved listening to the water stream. It was near Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park. It was great having a front deck and back patio too!
Incredible week at cabin was just perfect. Host communicated promptly with any questions. We were worried about not being in Estes proper, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! Cabin was impeccably kept. Secluded, yet beautiful and easy drive into Estes. Enjoyed the firepit, loved watching the chipmunks, hiking nearby and easy drive to RMNP. Thank you Cindy for being a perfect host and sharing your mountain retreat.
The property was meticulously maintained and furnished with all necessary amenities. Cindy promptly addressed any inquiries we had during our stay, contributing to a peaceful experience overall. The soothing sound of the nearby creek added a relaxing ambiance to our time there. Our children particularly enjoyed the assortment of games provided. The presence of charming chipmunks in the backyard was a memorable highlight for our family. We would certainly consider staying at Cindy's property again in the future.
We loved everything about this cozy and tasteful cabin! Our host, Cindy, was quick to respond when we had a questions prior to and during our stay. Though we didn't spend much time there, the backyard (rock cliff, large boulders, hammock and inviting deck) was beautiful when viewed from the main bedroom patio doors. The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped. Great selection of games for family fun. The neighborhood is quiet and the location is convenient to Rocky Mountain National Park and Roosevelt National Forest hiking trails which were the main focus of our stay.
Cindy was incredibly helpful and responsive before we arrived and throughout the stay. The photos do not do this place justice, it's very well kept and stocked on a gorgeous piece of land. The entire home feels new inside and out. There was so much to do for both us and the kids and we spent more time together than we ever have. Feed the chipmunks, watch the mama moose and her baby eat grass across the street, play darts or board games or Ms. Pac-man, climb rock faces, play in the river, read books in the quiet harmony of nature, take a short drive to town, play guitar poorly, just go stay here!
This property is truly a gem. It’s incredibly well appointed with quality furniture, kitchen appliances, and amenities. We had a busy trip, and were sad we didn’t have more time to enjoy the house! Great for a family, it has games, books, a game room area off living room, and corn hole boards in the shed. The sound of the river echoing off the stunning rock wall behind the house was relaxing. The property was clean and cozy. It’s about 35 minutes to Estes Park and 15 minutes to Lyons, so there’s plenty to do in a good radius. We would stay here again, without hesitation.
Our family of 4 stayed for a week over spring break in March. The house was perfect for us- two young boys and two parents. The house had everything we needed and so much more. Sufficient disposables like tp, paper towels, garbage bags, dish detergent, and laundry detergent were thoughtfully stocked. Plenty of towels, pillows, and blankets. The hot tub was a HUGE hit, we used it every single day. All the games ensured we were never bored during downtime. The kids loved gobbling back and spying out the large windows at the neighborhood turkeys. The hosts had shoveled out 4 feet of snow for us before we arrived- effort that was very much appreciated. Communication with host was excellent. But of course the stand out feature of the house was the location. Beautiful, quiet mountain road was a dream. It’s a gorgeous and easy drive up route 7 to RMNP. Wouldn’t hesitate to book here again when we come back to RMNP!
We can’t recommend this lovely place to stay enough! Everything was just perfect. It was so cozy and clean and decorated so nice with lots of fun things to do!Such amazingly beautiful scenery also!Thank you so much, we had the best time!
We had a wonderful stay! The place was clean, well-stocked, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The owner was incredibly responsive and helpful with any questions we had. Highly recommend.
The house is beautiful and comfortable with all the amenities you would need. The owner anticipated and had available anything you could need from kitchen seasonings and appliances to towels and laundry soap. The beds were comfortably luxurious and the fireplace in the bedroom was a nice touch. We came to stay a few days so we could snowboard, but enjoyed our evenings immensely with the selection of board games. My sons really enjoyed the dart board and Pacman game. We would definitely stay here again!
