Still Waters Lodge is a fantastic family vacation home 200 feet from the Big Thompson River with a great view of Eagle Cliff Mountain and the continental divide. It has been remodeled in 2023 and is exceptionally well maintained. It is a very clean and well furnished mountain cabin, with a very well-equipped kitchen and laundry room. Still Waters Lodge boasts many repeat visitors year after year.
If you are looking for a remote place to work, this is it! With reliable WiFi, the ability to stream video meetings (or Netflix), you can do your work early in the day and then head out the door for a walk into RMNP. You may find that once you arrive with your groceries you may not need your car again for several days.
LOCATION. LOCATION. LOCATION. Still Waters Lodge offers a truly unique setting. Begin your day on the deck, sipping your morning coffee while listening to the soothing cascades of the Big Thompson River and gazing at the majestic continental divide. Situated on the western side of Estes Park, you can easily avoid any traffic by driving to the Beaver Meadows Entrance/Visitors Center of RMNP or taking a short walk into the wildlife hub of RMNP—Moraine Park (see map). Moraine Park is a popular area frequented by elk and mule deer, offering you an opportunity to witness wildlife in their natural habitat. During the summer, the RMNP shuttle bus stops at the Moraine Park Discovery Center & Museum, providing convenient access to various trailheads deeper within the park. No need to worry about finding a crowded parking spot at a trailhead! Another added perk is you can take a short walk directly into RMNP’s spectacular Moraine Park right from the cabin!
Imagine sitting on the sofa, gazing out the picture window, and witnessing elk and deer strolling by—a common occurrence in this area. Still Waters Lodge offers a serene and relaxing stay, with the option to be as active as you desire on the numerous trails in RMNP. Nestled in a peaceful family community with private grounds, you can stroll around and enjoy the wildlife and picturesque scenery. The community is located adjacent to the Big Thompson River, so you won't miss the tranquil sounds of the cascading river from the deck. For the little ones, there's a newly built play area with a picnic spot, ensuring they have a great time too!
Inside Still Waters Lodge, you'll discover tasteful furnishings and a well-equipped space designed to make your stay both relaxing and enjoyable. The first floor features a newly remodeled master bedroom (queen bed) with a full bathroom, while the second floor accommodates two bedrooms that share a bathroom. One of the upstairs bedrooms boasts a queen bed, while the other serves as a fun bunk room with a queen bed and a twin bunk above. Each bedroom offers its own closet for your convenience. The great room showcases brand new furniture, including two sofas, a swivel chair, and a large ottoman—an ideal spot for games and gatherings around the charming gas fireplace. The fully equipped kitchen invites culinary adventures, while the complete laundry room with a spacious washer and dryer ensures your convenience. Step out onto the deck, fire up the gas BBQ pit, and marvel at the breathtaking views while you relax with a good book or observe the local wildlife.
Still Waters Lodge is a fully inspected and permitted Estes Valley Vacation Home, assuring you a reliable and quality vacation experience. For reservations made within two weeks of arrival, a photo ID may be required prior to check-in.
We added central air conditioning in 2024 to ensure cabin comfort during the summer months!
Besides relaxing and hiking, there's a wide array of activities to explore during your stay at Still Waters Lodge. Consider hiring a fishing guide, renting a bike in town, embarking on a white water rafting trip, taking a rock climbing lesson, experiencing a snowshoe adventure, enjoying a horseback ride, or taking a day trip to Eldora for some skiing. Additionally, don't miss the opportunity to go on a wildlife drive or hike, allowing you to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature.
At an elevation of 7,800 feet, Still Waters Lodge provides a secluded and family-oriented escape, situated approximately 3 miles outside of Estes Park and in close proximity to Rocky Mountain National Park. The homeowner's association (HOA) has implemented rules to maintain the serenity and peaceful atmosphere for residents and guests. Please be aware that pets, motorcycles, ATVs, trailers, and RVs are not allowed in the area, and events, parties, and loud music are strictly prohibited. Quiet hours are observed from 9 pm to 8 am.

We loved this property in EP. Gorgeous setting. Mountain view. Babbling brook. It was perfect for us - 2 kids/4 adults. Close to RMNP and Estes Park so easy access wherever we wanted to go. I would stay there again definitely. Host very communicative which is great also.

Loved the river close by, and proximity to RMNP! Plenty of room for the family and great cabin feel!

Our spring break trip to Estes and we found the perfect location. Amazing view of the mountains from the lodge. A bit outside Estes and right next to the National Park so we had easy access to beautiful hikes. Inside the place was perfect. A well stocked kitchen and comfortable living room with a fantastic fireplace. Very clean, well decorated, and in a great neighborhood. A huge winter storm hit the last day, but our host worked with us to make sure we were accommodated even though roads were snowy and flights were cancelled. Highly recommend this place.
5.0
We came to Estes with hiking as the #1 priority. This property gives fast access to RMNP without having to deal with Estes traffic, and you can also enter the park on foot through a nearby trail. It served our needs perfectly. On the rain/snow days, it provided a great view of the mountains while we enjoyed books, board games, and the fireplace. The riverside swings in the neighborhood park were also great. We'll be back!

Perfect cabin for our family vacation!

Great stay with everything as advertised and short drive to Rocky National Park entrance. Would definitely stay here again for any Estes Park visits.

This was our first trip as a family to RMNP and this condo was perfect for our vacation. The location was very close to the park. We were comfortable with our family of 5 and grandparents. The house was well stocked and we made all our meals for the week in the kitchen. All the beds and furniture were very comfortable after coming home from hiking during the day. Grandma and Grandpa loved to sit on the deck in the afternoon and evening. The neighbors were so friendly. It is close to the Thompson River which was fun to walk down to and dip into. Estes Park is 5 minutes away which had grocery stores, delicious coffee houses, and ice cream shops! We are grateful to Anthony for the warm hospitality, advice for the area, and great communication. We hope to return in the future. We loved this condo and will always remember this special vacation!!

Great location to walking trails, RMNP, EstesPark area. This cabin was clean, provided basic necessities as well as other amenities for a stress-free stay. Loved the sound of stream sitting on deck or just opening the windows. This host is available, dependable and appreciated for status, needs etc.
5.0
This is our fourth summer visiting Estes Park and we are big fans of the YMCA of the Rockies & Rocky Mountain National Park(RMNP). Our stay at Still Waters Lodge was just right. A perfect size for our family of 5 plus grandma. Walking distance to RMNP and the YMCA of the Rockies. Just far enough from town to not be too busy, yet close enough to make a quick trip to Kind Coffee or to shop. Clean & Comfortable. All the little things you hate to buy on vacation were there (bug spray, laundry detergent, dish soap, salt, pepper, oil, flour, shampoo, hand soap, ice etc.) The hiking guide in the cabin was so good we bought our own copy to plan for next summer!
5.0
Spotlessly clean. Looks and feels recently refreshed. The color scheme looks freshly painted; the furniture and appliances looked and felt new; the kitchen had all the equipment needed for cooking family meals; linens and towels felt new. Huge windows fill the living space with daylight and great views. Little details add up to a quality vibe: a gas range inside and solid gas grill outside; matching china and drinkware; comfy beds; board games, books, and TV when occasional afternoon rains pop up. Strong, fast, reliable Wi-fi. Dual-function coffee machine let us choose a pot of drip style, or single-serve pods. Refreshingly, there are no decorations with tacky puns about wine or weed. Family friendly and welcoming!
Easy to access RMNP, which is quicker to reach from the west side of Estes Park than the east. One morning we crossed the street and walked into Moraine Park for a quick but memorable hike. The Lodge is the perfect short distance away from the buzz of downtown EP. The development is quiet, and you can see and hear the Big Thompson River rolling by the north side of the neighborhood. The development has a nice playground for the kiddos. River access was easy for making a few quick casts in between activities (we always have our own fishing gear). Twice saw elk casually strolling through the neighborhood. Memories the kids will never forget!
Friendly, responsive owners. Highly recommend Still Waters Lodge!
5.0
Unbelievable stay in Estes Park, right near the entrance to RMNP. It was our first time staying here, but the new host has definitely given this place some love. Everything was in immaculate condition, with new living room furniture as well. The location is unbeatable and we even had two large elk grazing outside of the front door one morning.
This is a great spot for a family vacation with a fantastic host. Highly recommend, would definitely stay here again!

If you’re looking for a place to stay in Estes Park, this is it! With gorgeous mountain views, access to town only 10 minutes away and Rocky Mountain National Park even closer you can’t ask for anything more. On top of that the property was amazing. It was well stocked with essentials and all the amenities you really need, which was a huge plus to not have to run to the store for hand soap/paper towels/etc.
It was an awesome stay, and Anthony/the host was easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend this stay to anyone looking for a quiet neighborhood in a beautiful setting.
5.0
We loved our stay here. The cabin has a great layout - perfect for our family, and we had everything we needed! Host offered great tips for hikes and other activities in the area. Cannot wait to return here and stay longer!

Great weekend trip getaway! The lodge was perfectly location for RMNP and Estes in a quiet setting. We loved the feel of the lodge and all the amenities. The new paint was beautiful too!

We had a great experience staying at the Bierhaus. The property provided plenty of room for our family of four including two children. Little details such as paper towels, hand soap, laundry detergent, coffee filters were appreciated. The beds we used (we used two of the three bedrooms) were comfortable. The front porch was perfect for viewing the mountains while relaxing after a day of hiking. The location is just outside of town so perfect to avoid the busy downtown while still being very close/accessible.
5.0
Perfect for 5 of us to stay. We loved having the kitchen and grill available to us.
5.0
Kitchen was well appointed and well stocked. Beds were comfortable with extra blankets and pillows. Spotless on arrival, with easy check in. Have stayed in various locations in/around the Estes Park area over the last fifteen years, by far this has been our favorite. Hate to give it too good of review in a way, bc would like to keep this gem to ourselves. Grilled out multiple days and listened to the Big Thompson (steps away from the house). Perfect location; close to Beaver Meadows entrance, but easy to get to Estes. Thanks for letting us enjoy the home; certainly look forward to visiting again.....hopefully sooner rather than later.
5.0
The Bierhaus was the perfect base camp for our 3 day Estes Park visit. It was close enough to the main area for an easy car ride into town while also being extremely close to RMNP. We even saw a gorgeous male Elk down by the river our last day. We enjoyed hiking into the park directly from the cabin when we didn't have a reserved time slot. It's extremely close to the Beaver Meadows entrance, although I recommend a VERY early arrival to beat the crowd at the entrance. When we left the park around 11:30AM the line to enter was extremely long. The cabin itself was well stocked, clean and exactly what we needed when we were there.

Cannot recommend this property enough! Perfectly maintained with beautiful scenery, and very close to both downtown Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. Highly recommended!!!

Our family truly enjoyed our stay at Bierhaus! We absolutely love the location and the views are amazing. We love how close Bierhaus is to RMNP and that it is not far from town. It is a clean and cozy cabin, and we appreciate that the kitchen had all we needed to cook meals there. We highly recommend Bierhaus!

We very much enjoyed our stay here and are interested in returning during the summer!

This house is very well equipped with all the things you need for a great get away😎 and very clean 👍
2.5
Nice area of town, easy to access the park and other area attractions. Home is clean, well-stocked and perfectly situated away from road yet near the river. Be prepared to to be surprised by the wildlife! No bear activity but plenty of deer and elk to satisfy a wildlife lover's appetite!
2.5
We’ve stayed here twice now and it’s always so clean when we arrive. Location is perfect, just a couple of mile out of Estes. It sits just up a hill from a beautiful river and you can hear the river in every room of the house. Hiking just across the road and Rocky Mountain National Park is so close. It’s perfect!
2.5
This cabin was amazing! It was absolutely perfect for us and totally contributed to a fabulous first visit to Estes Park. Greg is such a great host. Always answers any questions before or during the visit in a very timely and friendly manner. The location was perfect to experience everything Estes Park has to offer
2.5
This house is in the perfect part of Estes Park. Very quiet, away from the hustle and bustle yet convenient to downtown and RMNP entrances.
Extremely clean home. Well cared for. Newer appliances and bathroom fixtures. Plenty of towels, pillows, blankets. Many pots and pans and cooking utensils provided.
Walk across street to hike Moraine Park (easy) or Eagle Cliff Mountain (hard!). Or drive into RMNP to the Beaver Meadow gate at 4 AM, drive to Bear Lake parking. Hike with flashlights in the dark on the Emerald Lake trail. Watch sunrise at Emerald Lake and beat the crowds! The views are endless!
Greg was very responsive and helpful during our stay.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful family cabin with our family from PA! We would definitely stay here again.
2.5
We enjoyed our stay at Bierhaus! Loved the location, space and the ability to hike right into RMNP. Plenty of space for families and the area is great to spend time outdoors.
2.5
Great location! Minutes away from RMNP and close to all the fun in downtown Estes Park. Far enough away to enjoy the quiet of the mountains and rapids but close enough to hop into town.
2.5
We had an amazing stay and all accommodations that were advertised were met. The hosts went above and beyond to help us out. Definitely would go back!!
2.5
Great cabin for a small family and it had everything we needed to be comfortable. I would recommend this place to everyone interested in the Estes experience.
2.5
The property, location and rental experience were all perfect. Can’t wait to come back!
2.5
This was the perfect cabin for our family. Location is great, slightly outside of downtown Estes so you can avoid the crowds, very direct access to RMNP, and close enough to a country store in case you need to make a quick errand. We saw some elk and even a black bear walking on the road outside the cabin. Will visit again!
2.5
Bierhaus was a perfect fit for our family gathering of five adults and one child... who loved the bunk bed! The cabin was very clean upon our arrival. The location near RMNP is great. Would highly recommend Bierhaus!
2.5
The cabin was amazing. The park was beautiful and the snow we got made it even more beautiful. Highly recommended!
2.5
Our family of 5 had a great stay, cabin had everything we needed to take advantage of all of the great things Estes Park has to offer. Enjoyed skiing, hiking, sledding, snowshoeing, and even a show at the Stanley Hotel! Cabin is conveniently located very near RMNP and downtown Estes. Really enjoyed watching it snow while sitting in front of the cozy fireplace. Greg was great to work with and very attentive to our needs to ensure our stay was great. We will be back!!!
2.5
We loved our stay here! It’s very clean and comfortable. Well stocked with basic supplies and essentials. The neighborhood is very nice, close to town yet far enough to feel secluded. Our daughters wanted to visit a cabin in the woods and this matched our expectations perfectly! The owners were great to work with!!
2.5
We are so blessed and thankful for a perfect Christmas, family vacation at Bierhaus! The cabin is so much more than we expected and the location was perfect! This cozy and comfortable cabin was filled with all the essentials including paper goods, laundry soap, toiletries, plenty of towels, sheets and blankets, board games to play, DVD's to enjoy, and so much more! The location is just like it states; a close walk to hiking and exploring the Rockies, yet a close drive to the great, little town of Estes Park! We hope to return one day because our stay was so incredible and enjoyable! It was hard to say goodbye. Thank you for your hospitality!
One small suggestion (just in case we come back next Christmas)... it would be so nice if the cabin was decorated with Christmas decorations🎄
HAPPY 2018 NEW YEAR!!!

Bierhaus was a great, cozy cabin to spend Christmas in. We had my elderly mother with us and other than helping her up the steps, she was very comfortable, as we all were. Neat, tidy, well kept, in a gorgeous location. I would make a return visit and recommend it to anyone. My only issue was the bedroom over the kitchen has a very uncomfortable mattress; sort of bouncy and wobbly, so anytime anyone moved, the whole bed moved. Everything else was excellent!
2.5
Amazing winter break at Bierhaus cabin. The cabin is in a private area without the crowds of being in town. Greg was easy to work with and answered all of our questions about where to go and what to do around Estes Park and RMNP. We got to see mule deer, a few elk, and a coyote. While there wasn't much snow yet near Bear Lake, we where still able to take in some fantastic hikes and views! The cabin was well maintained and had everything we needed for a few days in the mountains. We'll be back!
2.5
Comfortable, clean and homey. Great location. Deer right outside the bedroom window and beautiful mountain views out the front. Nothing lacking (we couldn't find a garlic press...lol). Greg is a responsive and very generous host. Thanks for a wonderful Thanksgiving getaway!!!
