About this cabin rental

We are excited to welcome you to Estes Park, our little piece of paradise. We hope to provide you with an exceptional vacation experience.

This unique rental has two separate cabins on one property, each with one bedroom, one bath, and living area. The larger "Smiling Elk" has a full modern kitchen with a wonderful gas stove, full bath, queen bed, sleeper sofa, washer/dryer, and a wood-burning fireplace. Free high-speed broadband internet. Use your own streaming apps. We provide all linens, towels, a stocked kitchen, and toiletries. The kitchen includes coffee, tea, paper goods, and all the dishes and cooking equipment you may need. There is also a crock pot so you can have dinner ready and waiting when you return from the day's activities. The photo of this cabin can be deceiving. The door on the left is the bedroom, and the door on the right is the living room. The bedroom is accessed from inside, and the exterior door is rarely used. In the past, this cabin may have been two units. During the warm months, we install a window air conditioner in the living room, and there is always a ceiling fan in the bedroom.

The smaller and adorable "Little Bear" has a partial kitchen (sink, microwave, mini-fridge, coffee maker), 3/4 bath with tiled shower, two twin beds, and a sleeper sofa. This cabin also has a flat-screen TV and free high-speed broadband internet.

This property is ideal for couples, friends, or small families. It is situated near the west side of town, with easy access to Rocky Mountain National Park, yet only three miles from downtown. Several restaurants, coffee shops, miniature golf, and groceries are within walking distance. A free shuttle to downtown stops nearby every hour, so you could leave the driving to others and just enjoy the ride.

Enjoy a backyard BBQ on the gas grill, or visit nearby local's favorite Smokin' Dave's BBQ. Coffee on the Rocks is open early if you prefer to have your coffee prepared for you. All of these are just down the street and around the corner. Country Market has groceries, gas, and great ice cream. The well-known Bird & Jim restaurant is a short drive or walk, accessible without navigating the downtown traffic.

We are happy to answer any questions you may have about the Estes Park area and Rocky Mountain National Park, including local favorites, day hike suggestions, etc. Just give us a call before or during your stay. We want your vacation to be full of good memories, and will do what we can do to make that happen.

Please plan to bring your own reusable water bottles. Estes Park has award-winning water, and we hope you'll enjoy it's freshness. In an effort to be environmentally friendly, we discourage you from purchasing water in single-use plastic bottles.

If these cabins aren't available the dates you desire, please check out our other property that's right downtown - VRBO # 471009 - Riverwalk Loft Condos.

We look forward to being your hosts in Estes Park!

We loved staying in these beautiful cabins for the week! The proximity to the park was key as we were able to quickly start our morning hikes or see sunrise and sunset and take an afternoon nap to recharge when needed. It was about 10 minutes to get through the park entrance and the Bear Lake timed entry check point, without traffic. The beds were comfortable and the cabins well stocked with everything we needed. Our daughter was able to take advantage of the trolley stop close by one day after shopping in Estes. The owners quickly responded to any questions we had leading up to our trip.

My partner and I were in Estes Park for the hiking mostly. This cabin was perfect for our needs. It was a great place to recharge after a long day on the trails. We appreciated the A/C in this cabin as it was very hot for the first part of our stay. We also appreciated the location as it is close to the park and to downtown. Scott and Karen were excellent hosts. SUPER communicative and gave us lots of recommendations for places to eat and how to avoid the construction downtown. Five stars. Would definitely stay again!

Our family loved staying in these cabins. We have older children and they thought it was so fun to be able to stay in a separate cabin from the grown ups. It was close to RMNP and conveniently located to a small market and an incredibly delicious deli/bakery called "Scratch." We also saw plenty of nature (little rabbits, birds, and elk) in the yard as well. The owners were super responsive when we had questions, though most things were self-explanatory. They had huge washers and dryers in the very spacious bathroom in the main cabin. What a great bonus after hiking at RMNP! The owners also stock with essentials like laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and even makeup remover. The only caveat I would give to these cabins is that the main cabin has a fairly small kitchen that is well stocked with dishes and utensils, but had only a small and pretty damaged collection of pots, trays, etc.. We were able to do some minimal cooking, but not the way we are used to with most VRBOS we stay at. If you are planning on doing a lot of indoor cooking, this may not be the place for you. For everyone else, I'd highly recommend staying here.

This was our second stay here, and it was excellent both times. The location could not be better for spending time in RMNP. The cabins are in a quiet location and are in great shape. We’ve had turkeys, deer and elk in the yard. The hosts are very friendly and unfailingly helpful. We will be back!

We visited Estes Park with our two college age kids. Having two cabins was great for each of us to have our own space. The cabins were super clean, the beds comfortable, and The Smiling Elk was well stocked. We loved the location-close to the main park entrance and restaurants/grocery store without having to go into Downtown, but also close to downtown when needed. We had a minor issue of a smoke detector needing a battery change, and the owners took care of it right away. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
