The location of the cabin is wonderful! It was quiet and we saw deer and elk while we were there. We also saw and heard a ton of hummingbirds. The view of the mountains from the deck is amazing!

Stay at Bears Den

Nice cabin..stayed 9 days and I didn't want to leave. Very close to Beaver Meadows entrance to RMNP. Excellent location..short drive to Estes Park downtown yet the cabin location seems remote.Frequent elk and deer sightings grazing at the property. Beautiful east facing sliders open onto a great deck and let the morning sun coming shining in. Great place!

Wonderful Stay!

We enjoyed all aspects of this charming, beautifully updated/new home! Beautiful setting, great deck, close to YMCA, and Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park. Perfect for a couple or small family, but could be tight quarters for couples sharing. Truly a lovely place - hope to return someday.

Fabulous Park Location with Privacy

We were there to visit Rocky Mtn. Nat. Pk. This is a very modern, updated cabin in a prime location with loads of privacy. Only a few minutes to the park entrance. Great restaurants nearby without having to go into Estes!

Cute, cozy cabin in the mountains

This cabin is so cute and in an absolutely beautiful location at the end of the road, which felt very safe and private. It was a little crowded for 4 adults, but we weren't there to hang out in the cabin! I cooked two different breakfasts and was able to find everything I needed. The hosts responded quickly when I had questions and the check-out process was VERY easy. Would DEFINITELY stay here again and recommend it highly.

Comfortable and beautiful surroundings

Beautiful property close to everything, just minutes from Estes Park in one direction and National Park in the other. Very comfortable bed, nice kitchen for preparing meals and snacks. Gorgeous views from deck. Wasn’t aware of a few steps leading up to house from the driveway, but shouldn’t be an issue for most people. Just something to be aware of if elderly or knee issues. Overall would stay here again. Private and nice.

We loved this property. Even though the square footage is small, it is used efficiently. There was plenty of space in the kitchen and family room for everyone (4 adults) to fit comfortably. The deck is amazing and we saw deer each morning. It is well equipped with nice appliances, lots of cabinet space, and a full size washer/dryer. It’s not quite as remote as the photos indicate, but it’s quiet and super close to the Beaver Meadows entrance. We will definitely be back to stay here!

Beautiful Cabin in the Woods

We had an absolutely fabulous time staying at this little cabin in the woods. It was perfect for us to scoot over to Rocky Mtn NP so I could show my friend some of what beauty can be found here in Colorado. The space was beautiful and felt so homie. The only slight annoyances if I can even call them that were that we are both from humid climates and would have appreciated humidifiers. Though my friend did say she found one as we packed up to leave. Our bad! But the other thing was the wifi seemed to go in and out quite a bit. We had to reset the router quite a few times to get through watching things. Which normally I wouldn’t care too much about but we were trying to keep up with Ryan Tryhan’s daily series. Other than that, absolutely LOVED the place. We saw lots of wildlife and both wish to come back and stay here again.

Great location and views, uncomfortable bedroom

The cabin is located in a perfect position to access Bear Lake. It is nicely decorated and has a beautiful view from the porch and living room. It is clean and has all the essentials. However, the master bedroom downstairs is TINY- if you have claustrophobia, this is NOT your place. The bed is extremely uncomfortable and there are no window treatments to block light at night. Between the mattress and the full moon, we didn’t get a wink of sleep. Hopefully these items get changed and it would be an amazing place to stay again.

Prime location close to RMNP and Estes Park. ( RMNP is visible over the ridge behind the house) The house has nice mountain views and sits above the other neighboring homes. We loved the outdoor deck! We found the tight space in the bathroom, bedroom and loft to be challenging after several days. The home also leans down the hill a bit so it takes some adjustment. A good solid choice if you are in the area.

Wanted a quiet retreat into the mountains and this place was perfect. Close to town, walking distance to a perfect little bakery, coffee and spice shop, and minutes from RMNP. The property was beautifully appointed and clean. Lovely bathroom and a kitchen so well stocked we had to make a little shelf room for the food we brought in. The deck has a beautiful view and very spacious. I had several questions which were answered immediately. We loved every minute in this beautiful little house on the mountain.
