Perfect location for Rocky Mountain National Park!
Cute little cabin had everything we needed for the two of us. Within a few miles of the entrance of RMNP, and right outside of Estes Park. Would definitely stay there again!
This was a perfect place for accessing RMNP, and so cozy and pleasant after a day of hiking. Everything's we needed was there, and the view of the mountains was bonus.
Loved the bird watching and it was so easy to get into the park from here. We had everything we needed and since we hiked a lot it was perfect place to rest each night. Very peaceful.
Greatly enjoyed relaxing on the deck overlooking the snow capped mountains, seeing elk in the yard, and receiving great hiking advice from the kind owner Jay!
Bed and cottage was very clean and comfortable and jacuzzi tub felt great after hiking in RMNP.
This relatively new guest cabin is perfect for one traveler or a couple. It provided quick access to Rocky Mountain National Park and downtown Estes Park. The information the hosts provided was very helpful, and the deck is a great place to watch sunsets.
This was a peaceful little gem of a cottage. The owners live in front and are friendly; you're in the back and will look out over their wild-life filled backyard. The area is not super remote but it is not as busy as other motel-filled spots in the area. Really close to the park. I loved the small back deck too.
This space made our trip to Estes Park! Location was perfect, especially with all the road construction. Space was clean, comfortable, and the perfect jumping off point to start and end the day in RMNP area.

Cute little cabin in the mountains!
My husband and I really enjoyed our little weekend getaway! Great little cabin and very clean!
We stayed here for 4 nights while we explored Rocky Mountain National park. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Nice views from the back deck. We highly recommend this location.
My wife and I stayed here with our boys (ages 3 and 1) and we had a wonderful time!
The check in process was very easy and this home was in close proximity to all the events that the weekend held for us! Jim was extremely polite and welcoming. We would definitely stay here again.
we spent our honeymoon here and it was beautiful! we caught some great views and the hosts were incredibly kind and accommodating. the in-house laundry was a lifesaver and it was so nice having a full kitchen to utilize while traveling. 100% would recommend staying here, as we are sure to return in the future.
The cabin is super close to Rocky Mountain National Park, which was great! We didn't spend a lot of time there aside from sleeping, but we really enjoyed our stay! The bed is comfortable, the shower is nice, and the cabin had all the amenities we needed. Would definitely stay again if we are in the area.

About the host
Hosted by Jay Vetter
We retired to Estes Park in 2013 after living in Nebraska for 40 years.
Why they chose this property
The property includes a home in which we live and garage with a loft apartment above it in addition to the cottage. We bought it as our retirement home because of its location and great mountain views. We have vacationed here regularly since 1970 and have always wanted to spend more time here.
What makes this property unique
We appreciate that we have extra space for family to visit and are also able to generate a little extra income while welcoming guests who love this area as much as we do.
