Cool River#6159 Cabin sets only feet from the Big Thompson River

Cozy cabin in Estes Park - Cool River sits on the Big Thompson River on the edge of Estes Park. Walk to town, shops and restaurants or sit on the deck and enjoy the river view. (this is not a secluded location) This 2 bedroom one bathroom cabin has all the comforts of home with a cozy cabin décor. Relax on one of the many decks and enjoy the cool mornings or the evening breeze.

The living room has a gas fireplace to take the chill off on those cool evenings. The large fully stocked kitchen gives you lots of room to fix your meals unlike your average mountain cabin. (no dishwasher). Gas grill off the back deck and outdoor dining space.

Short walking distance to 2 brewery's, 4 restaurants, family entertainment park and an outdoor air adventure park. All with a river just a few steps from the back deck. There are several cabins together on the edge of a small industrial complex. (storage units mixed with businesses) giving this a more private setting. The cabin does not have A/C, we have natural mountain breezes just like the Stanley Hotel. There is the potential for road noise at times.

This home is fully stocked with bed linens, towels, extra blankets, soaps, shampoo and a good start up supply of paper products.. The kitchen has pots, pans and dishes plus silverware. A standard coffee maker, toaster, blender, crock pot too. A washer and dryer with laundry pods to use.

This is the ideal location for a base camp for those who want to explore Rocky Mountain National Park and Northern Colorado.

This home is managed by Rocky Mountains Property Services, a family owned and operated business local to Estes Park.

We really enjoyed our visit!! This was the cutest little cabin & well stocked. It was chilly while we were there so the fireplace was nice. Such a great back porch with the stream so close you could hear it. Not secluded but really close to town so everything was easy to get to, which we liked!! We would stay here again!!!

Cozy, comfortable cabin on the river within walking distance to the town with restaurants, shopping, and grocery stores. Short drive to RMNP. The kitchen is well equipped — although we couldn’t find a cutting board. (Luckily, we had our own in our camping gear). We were VERY happy to have a washer dryer as we had been on the road for two weeks hiking, biking, and kayaking. We will definitely return.

The cabin was perfect for our needs. It’s walkable to down town and minutes away from RMNP. Sitting on the back deck listening to the river on the cool mornings was great. Elk visited multiple mornings! The cabin had all we needed, especially all of the basics (soap, sponge, detergent, shampoo, TP, paper towels, etc.) which you don’t always have in other rentals. Beds are on the softer side for awareness. We stayed in July and while it was warm in the evenings in the cabin, it cooled down quickly by the time we went to sleep. No air conditioning on 80 days was not an issue. Highly recommend staying here.

Peaceful, beautiful and convenient. This cabin offers everything you may need and more. Every detail is carefully thought out and very cozy. We saw several Elk. One walked right past our deck along the creek. We saw babies around the corner. Quick access to the park and restaurants. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect cabin

Of all the various VRBO units we have stayed, this is the most well stocked, comfortable, convenient place. Located on the bank of the Big Thompson, Comfortably furnished with great bear decor. Absolutely fantastic. Needs a cookie sheet, otherwise equipped with all you to cook, with seasonings, bath supplies, just everything!! So add a reminder when checking in to turn in the hot water heater in the closet.
