About This Home
Welcome to your own private anglers' oasis-a century-old mountain cabin where the river greets you right out the front door. Imagine waking up in a cozy 1-bedroom retreat, brewing your coffee, and slipping on your waders to step straight from your porch down into a pristine fishing haven. This property is every fly fisher's dream, with a beautiful riverfront patio, perfect for enjoying meals as you watch the waters ripple and the trout jump.Steeped in history, this cabin once sat along the original stage road from Loveland to Estes. Today, the only "traffic" you'll need to worry about is the occasional eagle soaring overhead or a curious elk passing by, as the road has long since been relocated across the river. Surrounded by majestic rock outcroppings, the cabin's south-facing windows invite the sun to warm the spacious living and dining areas year-round. And with a recently remodeled bathroom, you can enjoy the charm of old-time character with all the modern comforts.Step out onto the attractive front deck or take a short walk over the community-maintained bridge, a scenic route that feels like stepping into a postcard. Just minutes from Estes Park and the gates of Rocky Mountain National Park, you'll have the best of mountain living, festival fun, shopping, wildlife viewing, and hiking trails galore all close at hand.Whether you're here to cast a line in peaceful solitude, share laughter with loved ones, or savor the natural beauty that surrounds you, this cabin is your perfect mountain escape. A place to reconnect, unwind, and create cherished memories in every season.
