Historic 1920's Riverfront vacation cottage in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Located just outside downtown Estes Park on the banks of the Big Thompson River. Picturesque surroundings with towering Ponderosa pines, the Canyon, and the Big Thompson river!
Decorated tastefully in a seashell and nautical theme, you will enjoy this newly decorated abode. The bathroom is graced with a claw foot tub and shower.
A picnic area is provided in front of the cottage beside the river. The Big Thompson River is very wide at this point and there is even a small island in the middle right in front of the property. There is a family of ducks living at this point in the river. It is known to be one of the best fly fishing areas too and you have private entry to the river!
Behind the cabin, there is steeper terrain with many rock outcropping, very scenic! A very large rock formation can be found to the right rear of the cabin. Beautiful scenery from every single window. Come and stay at our fabulous cabin by the river.

Summary: We had an absolutely wonderful stay! My husband fly fished in the river every day and we enjoyed relaxing on the porch and in the cozy cabin. Space heaters kept us plenty warm even in mid October and we were conveniently located within a short drive to downtown Estes and RMNP. The hosts were communicative and left clear instructions for everything!
