About this cabin rental

Located near both the Wild Basin Entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park and Long's Peak trail head, this cabin is ideally suited to anyone looking for a base for hiking, riding, climbing, hunting or just lazing and star gazing.

The first floor includes a combined kitchen, dining room and living room, as well as two bedrooms and bath. Upstairs is a large loft overlooking the living room that most guests use as the master bedroom because of its large windows, the king size bed and it's stunning views of Mt. Meeker.

The house sits on an acre and a half lot. It is adjacent to Ponderosa Lodge (Property # 803298) which we often rent in tandem (it is about 100 yards down hill) and which can be accessed by a path. Many families have rented both houses together for family reunions and weddings.

We bought the house in 2001, although Susie had hoped to purchase it since first setting foot in in 1967, when her parents brought the family to meet the builder before purchasing the house down the hill.

There has always been something very special about this cabin. It feels isolated while still being close to amenities. Its an easy 15 minute drive to Estes, 45 minutes to Boulder, and 5 minutes to the booming metropolis of Allenspark (population 250!). The Meeker Park Lodge Livery is a short walk and in summer the lodge has a small grocery store for last minute items.

We are surrounded by Rocky Mountain National Park and Roosevelt National Forest so there is hiking in virtually every direction, from easy strolls to the trail head for one of Colorado's magnificent 14'ers. The Long's Peak trail head is just a brief drive.

Susie's family started coming out to this area in 1955 and have enjoyed the wonders of this area in every season. The abundance of wildlife (moose, elk, mule deer, bobcats, hawks, owls, chipmunks, squirrels, seen them all!) can be enjoyed from the deck.

The house is fully furnished and includes satellite and WiFi, a flat screen TV, DVD, games, books and a welcoming wood burning stove in the living room.

We’ve recently put in a new king size mattress and have made some other upgrades. Its a great house.

The property is aptly named Serene Solitude Cabin. It featured a lovely dining room table where our family could play games in the evening. We enjoyed drinking coffee and making plans on the deck in the mornings. My favorite part was waking up and watching the sunrise over the mountains from bed.

We loved the outdoor deck to relax and enjoy the woods and wild turkeys (who knew they could fly). Hiking was a short drive to many different trails inside and outside Rocky Mountain National Park. Loft bedroom skylights were fantastic to look at the stars late at night.

We have stayed in quite a few VRBO properties and this one is by far one of the best. The kitchen was very well stocked with utensils, pots and pans, dishes, and mixing bowls. The front deck was very quiet and offered some good views. The property was close to the national park and several trailheads, along with just a short drive to Estes Park. I highly recommend this property is you are planning a trip to the area! The Longs Peak trail was astounding up to Chasm Lake! If we decide to visit the area again(this was our 3rd time), we will try to stay here again if the cabin is open for our dates. Susan is a great host and answered an email very promptly.

The location and setting of the property were perfect! Stunning views of the mountains and close to Estes and Rocky Mountain National Park, but truly felt miles away from everything! House was clean and well appointed. Loved sitting out on the deck.

The pictures do not do justice to this cozy cabin! We loved the authentic mountain vibe and how charming and CLEAn it was! Waking up to Mountain View’s and feeling like you’re in the middle of the woods is a unique aspect of staying here. We hated to leave!

If you’re looking for a location close to RMNP but still want solitude, this is the cabin for you. Both the Long’s Peak and Wild Basin entrances are 5 minutes away. Estes Park is only about 20 minutes and the drive is beautiful. The cabin is small and rustic, but has everything you need. It made our childhood dreams of living in an A-frame in the woods come true.. The view from the bed in the loft bedroom in the early morning and on starry nights is amazing! The stairs are steep. We took a little flashlight up with us to see in the middle of the night without waking the other person. The living room furniture definitely needs to be replaced, but everything was very clean. Our biggest con has nothing to do with the cabin itself, but rather the pet fee. We have a 20lb, non-shedding dog and at $50/night, this added up to a whopping $550 for our 11 night stay. We did not notice this when we booked and at that time it was too late to change. All in all, we loved the cabin and would stay there again if the pet fee was a little more reasonable.
