Fly Fishing Haven – Riverfront Cabin Just Minutes from Estes Park

Scenic Riverfront Cabin | 7 Minutes to Estes Park | Summer Mountain Retreat

Your perfect Colorado summer escape awaits. Tucked along the banks of the Big Thompson River—just seven minutes from downtown Estes Park and the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park—this peaceful riverfront cabin is the ultimate basecamp for mountain adventure and quiet relaxation. Whether you're here to fly fish, hike alpine trails, explore scenic byways, or simply unwind by the river, you’ll find comfort, beauty, and serenity in every direction.

Warm, welcoming, and filled with natural light, the cabin features soaring ceilings, dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows, and panoramic views of the river and surrounding forest. The spacious great room includes a gas fireplace and plush seating. A fully equipped kitchen and dining area make it easy to enjoy family-style meals, and the wraparound deck offers plenty of space for outdoor dining or simply soaking in the mountain air.

With the Big Thompson River just steps from your door, you’ll have private access to one of Colorado’s most scenic fly fishing spots. Spend your days casting for rainbow and brown trout, wading in crystal-clear water, or simply relaxing on the riverside patio to the sound of the rushing current.

Enjoy long summer days and cool, starlit nights surrounded by wildflowers, whispering aspens, and golden light. Wildlife sightings are common and may include elk, deer, wild turkeys, and hummingbirds. The private patio overlooking the river is the perfect place for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine.

The cabin sleeps up to nine guests comfortably. The primary bedroom features a queen bed and a futon. The guest bedroom includes a queen bed, while the loft offers a full-size bed. The living room has a queen sleeper sofa, and a Pack ’n Play is available for young children.

Perfect location

It was a very nice cabin right on the river. Being unfamiliar with the area, I did think that the house was going to be more remote than it actually was, and you can’t really see the river while sitting inside the house. (Both of these things the owner obviously cannot control). We did have some elk come into the yard and saw an otter while playing in the river, which was awesome! Overall a nice house and convenient to Estes Park and RMNP.

Had a great time.

Had a wonderful time. Beds slept great. Living room furniture needs a deep cleaning for a more fresh smell. Had to purchase a new coffee maker. One in the cabin is not the one pictured in the listing. This place is located in a woody area, but could use an outdoor refreshing, lots of debris on porch. Bathrooms were very clean and smelled very clean upon arrival. Owners were great to work with.

Great location: Quiet and peaceful

This cabin was great for our family. We all loved being on the river. There were two elk that hung out near our cabin. The cleaning crew did not clean before our stay, at no fault of the host. When we notified the host, they were quick to respond and had it cleaned quickly for us. Great host and great stay!

All in all the stay was good. Minor things like coffee pot and dvd The bed in second bedroom is difficult for older folks to get in and out of. Loved being by river and it was close to Estes Park and RMNP. Appliances worked well Host responded to questions promptly.

Enjoyed our escape to Estes

We had an absolutely wonderful and cozy stay! Great communication. Great accommodations. Great location. The kitchen was stocked with all necessities for cooking. The views are great and the home rests in a very peaceful setting. I loved sitting on the deck (and next to the open windows in the LR) to hear the sounds of the water.

Love the sound of the rushing river!

The host was an excellent communicator, and even volunteered to connect us with a fishing guide. The multi-level property is built into a hill right above the Big Thompson River, and there are stairs down to the river where you can fish for rainbow and brown trout from their property. Well equipped and nicely furnished.

Nice house, no AC

Love the location and river access. The property itself is commensurate with the cost. Our kids enjoyed the property also. Everything was in working order. Only complaint would be that we booked bc the listing said Air Conditioning. There was no AC. That was our main reason for booking. And initially the host was very responsive but never did get replies back for our early check-in or AC question (upon arrival).
