About this house rental

Estes Park Vacation Rental License #6021

This home was a former model home with Builder claimed "best views in the entire development"!!

Riverbend Lodge is perfectly situated with prime upstream and downstream views of the Big Thompson River. Top it all off with the backdrop of Prospect Mountain and a snowcap view of Long's Peak from the deck; and you have the perfect Rocky Mountain retreat.

From Riverbend Lodge it is just a short walk into the Town of Estes Park and an easy 1.5 mile drive to the Beaver Meadows entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park.

The main level great room has a gas fireplace to gather at with river and mountain views all around...no artwork needed on these walls! This is simply the ideal family gathering place with its adjoining fully equipped kitchen and dining room area. Gaze out to take in the perfectly clear Colorado sky, river and mountain views!!

From the great room you can step out to a fantastic deck to enjoy excellent mountain views along with the sights and sounds of the Big Thompson River! Take it all in while enjoying a cup of morning coffee, evening glass of wine, reading a good book or cooking dinner on the gas grill!

The cozy master bedroom en suite is also located on the main level. Open the windows and let the sounds of the Big Thompson lull you to sleep.

A second family room is located in the lower level along with 2 bedrooms (one queen bed and 2 twins) and a full bath. From this level you can walk-out onto the covered patio and spot elk and other wildlife moseying along the Big Thompson River! Or simply sit back, relax, and enjoy the view!

A two car attached garage space comes with this rental. There is also a main floor laundry room.

As our guest you will enjoy access to HOA-shared common fishing areas along the Big Thompson river.

Wildlife sightings abound with frequent visits from elk, deer, wild turkeys and even an occasional bobcat.

Need we go on... Riverbend Lodge is perfect in every way... not just another vacation rental but a perfect mountain home!

Beautiful facility, very helpful host. Right on the river!!!!!!! Practical and comfortable lodging. Absolutely spectacular backdrop on the river. Well set up kitchen and rooms. (Bring shampoo!!!). Outdoor deck and barbeque were an appreciated adjunct to the trip. We cooked a lot and found the kitchen very useful and well appointed w appliances and cooking utensils. Tv had plenty of apps and was easy to cast to. The host was very nice and readily available. I was very appreciative for their ready help any time I had a question! (This was my very first VRBO!!!) And did I mention, right on the river!!!!!! Loved sitting out on the deck watching the river flow!

My family of 4 spent 6 nights at this property for our vacation. The property is well maintained, clean and thoughtfully appointed. The location is very convenient to both town and the park. It is exactly as advertised. We were very comfortable and will definitely plan to return again.

This is one of the best vacation rentals we’ve stayed in. It is exactly as pictured and described, very well appointed, and has everything you would need. Communication was excellent and we appreciated the bonus tips about grocery shopping, etc. The babbling river and wildlife make for an idyllic experience.

This is our second stay in Riverbend Lodge. The entire home is well stocked with amenities, clean, beautiful, situated perfectly along the Big Thompson River, and on the western side of Estes Park to make day trips in to RMNP a breeze. Perfect for families with young kids or a group of adults. The deck and wildlife are an added bonus. Beautiful walking path along the river to get coffee and breakfast. 10/10 would recommend!

My first thought when seeing the place in person was, "How much do they want for it?" Great spot, quiet, nice view of woods and stream, comfortable, spacious, close to RMN park but also a lot of great places to eat.

Our stay at Riverbend Lodge in Estes Park was delightful! Our group was three siblings (all in our 70’s) who were gathering for 5 days to go through thousands of family photos to reminisce and organize the photos for future generations. We grew up in Colorado and wanted to enjoy the beauty and peacefulness of a mountain setting while “working”. This home was everything we hoped for. It was beautifully designed, and we were never without a gorgeous view of the mountains and river. The walking path between the river and the house was perfect for a quick break to enjoy the fresh mountain air. We decided to cook “at home” for most of our meals and found the kitchen to be well stocked with everything we needed. Each of us left feeling that we would enjoy bringing our own families here – the location, proximity to town and to RMNP, and amenities in the house would make it easy to host multiple generations. Matching the perfect “score” for the house, we also felt very fortunate to have Sue as the property manager. She was friendly, helpful, and responsive - both in advance of and during our stay.

From the beautiful spotless home, the gorgeous view of the icy creek, to the wonderful management, our stay at the Riverbend Lodge was AMAZING! We couldn't have picked a nicer place to stay while exploring Rocky Mountain National Park. You can't go wrong booking this property. We had a wonderful time enjoying the view while sitting in front of the gas fireplace. And Sue was so accommodating and helpful during our stay! By far, our best experience renting a vacation home!
