About this property

Longs Peak View, walk to downtown, historic charm

Estes Park Registration # 3251 Please read our cancellation policy before booking. Purchase insurance for any unforeseen issues. NO PETS. Convenience is what you get with Mabel's Cabin at L.R. Taylor's Estes Park Cabins. Mabel's is located on a hill just above the downtown of Estes Park with private steps leading to the center of town. But get away from it all on your private, covered deck and enjoy the view of Longs Peak and the mountain range. So park your car and walk to restaurants and shopping. Mabel's is also just minutes away from the famous Rocky Mountain National Park. 2.5 miles to Beaver Meadows Visitor Center. 4 miles to Fall Creek Entrance. (so enjoy all that it has to offer)

Originally built in the early 1900's by Mabel Van Hook, one of the four children of L.R. Taylor, to be her summer home and vacation spot. The cabin has been renovated to include all the modern conveniences, but still retains some of it's original charm.

Mabel's has a beautiful space outdoors to roam with trees, rock out-croppings, deer, elk and chipmunks. The elk have their own path right beside the cabin and enjoy resting under the trees. Please look at photos. Parking is tight. NO RV's, trailers or extra long vehicles. There is a steep hill leading down to the parking. In the winter, we do have snow removal. However, if you get stuck removal will be at your own expense.

Estes Park is the perfect vacation spot and there is something to do for everyone. You can rent this cabin year-round and enjoy the seasons of Colorado.
If this does not satisfy you we have 3 other cabins at LR Taylor Cabins listed on VRBO.
Egbert's Cabin VRBO #1471860
Nell's Cabin VRBO #788667

10th time in Estes Park

Stayed here for my 10th time visiting Estes Park. The cabin felt wonderfully rustic while still providing modern amenities. Great location feeling remote but able to walk to downtown without finding parking.

A stay at Estes Park

Overall the cabin was comfy and clean. It does badly need new bed pillows, those were so flat they did no good. We bought firewood, but it would have been nice to have a hatchet to make kindling. At least I did not see one. We did enjoy our stay and would recommend it.

Rustic Cabin with Outstanding Location

This property provided us with an ideal base for day hiking in RMNP. The location, a very short walk to E Elkhorn Ave, provided easy walking to restaurants and shopping and allowed us to keep the car parked after a long day on the trail.

Quaint, Comfortable, Great Location

We enjoyed our stay in Mable’s Cabin. It was a quaint and comfortable cabin. We found it to be just as described. We came to Estes Park for a family wedding and to enjoy the area. Mable’s Cabin is in a great location…just a short distance from everything.

Awesome Location!

We had a great stay! The cabin is in the perfect location and was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The only negative was the beds. We tried both beds and the frames are old and very noisy. My partner and I woke each other up every time we turned over. Can’t emphasize the fantastic location enough though! Quiet and tucked away but could still walk to stores and restaurants.

Nice location, charming cabin and cool deck.

The cabin is very charming and location is nice. The sheet on our bed had holes in it, and the bedspread had stains on it, and the decorative pillows had tears in them. The bed was supposed to be a sleep number bed, but we don't think it actually worked. Other than that, it was a great place.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Schneider

Host profile image
This cabin was sold out of the family for quite a few years. We were lucky enough to purchase it so that it is back in the family. I have been coming to Estes Park for vacations since I was a toddler. I never tire of it's beauty and endless changing scenery. I hope you can build the same memories at our little heaven on earth.

Why they chose this property

Mabel's Cabin is one of 5 cabins with LR Taylor Cabins. My great, great Grandfather came to Estes in 1911 to start building his vacation home, along with his wife and 4 children. He died shortly thereafter, but his children each built their own cabin. Luckily, we were able to buy the ones that had left the family. The cabin we stay in has never left the family and has been passed on through the generations. Nell's Cabin was not in our family, but we bought it because of it's proximity. Each of the cabins has old photos of the family and Estes Park. Come enjoy the history.

What makes this property unique

This cabin has a perfect location in a private neighborhood. You can relax on the deck and enjoy the surroundings, watch the wildlife, walk downtown for food or shopping, or drive a short way to get to Rocky National Park. It is the best!
