Rivendell Log Cabin - walk into RMNP! Continental Divide Views! Large Hot Tub!

Larimer County License: 20-NCD0279 Rivendell is our traditional mountain log cabin home with plenty of comfortable acreage and amazing mountain views of the Continental Divide in Rock Mountain National Park! We have a new 7 person hot tub too! We offer a beautiful log-paneled living room with two story ceilings. and a fully equipped kitchen for entertaining. Our favorite room is the sun porch, with ceiling to floor windows looking out at the forest and including stunning views of Mount Ypsilon, Fairchild Mountain, and Chiquita Peak. We spend hours here each morning enjoying the views of mountains, forest, and various wildlife on our 2 ½ acre property. Our guests have seen deer, elk, turkey, moose, black bears and wonderful birds, rabbits and chipmunks.

The outdoor porches are accessed through doors on either side of the sun porch, as well as the front and side doors of the main living room. Grill your favorite meats and vegetables on our outdoor grill located on the side porch by the dining area. This main level has 1 king bedroom, 1 bathroom with shower, 1 queen bedroom, small washer and dryer, sun porch, kitchen, dining and living room with fireplace and front and side outdoor porches with fantastic views.

From the living room, a log stairway leads to the upper level Master Bedroom. This bedroom has two closets, a king bed and a private porch with spectacular views. The bathroom boasts a steam shower and two sinks. A small living area with couches, a table and picture window looking out to the fabulous mountains also looks down to the living room below. On the other side is an open loft bedroom with a trundle bed and closet.

The basement boasts a living room which has 2 couches (one is a sleeper sofa) and a kitchenette with an extra large washer and dryer and also a dinette for eating or playing games. Private king and queen bedrooms with ensuite baths occupy this floor along with an outdoor entrance to a patio with beautiful views.

The unique layout of our cabin accommodates 14 people, but feels cozy enough for two.

The four living areas are perfect for togetherness or privacy, whichever is preferred.

We have outside Security Cameras monitoring the outside door accesses.

Also—be sure to check out our other property in Estes Park, "Bella Vista" at 6600 Highway 7 in front of Longs Peak! VRBO #1781837 is a beautiful mountain home plus two small cabins situated on 12 private acres with a majestic view of Long’s Peak.

Remote but close!

Great get away for the family! The park was just 6 minutes down the road but hardly any neighbors. We loved the porch. This is where I spent most of my time. It was quiet from the rest of the house and had an amazing view. The house was well stocked and the 4 living spaces gave us the room we needed to spread out.The only thing we wish we knew was that we weren't allowed to use the washer because of the dry season. We would have prepared better as this was the last stop on our trip and our whole group was planning on doing laundry at this house. The YMCA just down the road was able to accommodate that for us however

FANTASTIC!

Husband and I were looking for a secluded, romantic, nature getaway for our 12 year anniversary. This house checked all the boxes! We saw elk, moose, deer, turkeys, you name it! We even arrived late due to our airline (thanks Frontier), but check in was flawless. House was absolutely gorgeous and the views were to die for. We can’t wait to take our kids back to visit!

Mountain Gem

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The house was exactly as shown on the listing and plenty of space for our large group of extended family. The views of the mountains are second to none! The host was amazing and quick to respond to any needs we had. Very accommodating and helpful in every way! We definitely hope to be back someday as this was a mountain gem with all the amenities needed for an extended stay! Highly recommend!

Family Reunion Christmas with young children

The Rivendall Log Cabin is in a wonderful location (hiking trailhead, RMNP adjacent, and Estes Park nearby) and large enough to house a family reunion of fourteen. The cabin was nicely decorated for Christmas. There are numerous sitting areas on each of the three floors to enjoy the views and meals. The lower ratings are due to (1) uncleanliness on arrival, (2) a broken window, (3) inability to handle trash, (4) out-of-order hot-tub, and (5) absence of help by on-site property manager/owner. While this may be unusual, it was a downer for us.

Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay! The cabin is beautiful, so well stocked, lots of space and plenty of bedrooms for everyone. We gathered in the sunroom, played board games, built a snowman, sledded and more. Eight deer visited the cabin on Saturday and Sunday, and we saw two moose yesterday also! Thank you…we arrived after dark and the Christmas lights/Christmas tree being on was very welcoming, and bringing us extra firewood was so thoughtful. After it snowed all night, it was a welcome surprise for someone to come plow the driveway and shovel the walk! Thank you again for sharing your property with us. We will definitely recommend it to our family and friends, and we hope to be back soon!

Beautiful cabin in the woods

Our favorite place was the glassed in sunroom over looking the mountain’s, so beautiful. Our family of 14, 12 adults and 2 under the age of 2 loved staying in this cabin. It’s 3 floors, all with at least 1 bath and a sitting room and was perfect for our needs. The kitchen is well equipped, we actually had our Thanksgiving Dinner there. We would love to meet our family there again next year. Trish was so good to work with, 😊 Terry & Jeanette

Family Retreat was a success!

Mom & Dad's 50th anniversary celebration was great! We had 3 generations in the house and the whole family enjoyed the trip :-) We hiked all over (Bear Lake and Alberta Falls were our favorite spots) and saw elk, moose and mule deer! Wildfires were happening during our stay but Trish kept us up to date about all the ongoings and made sure we were safe and well taken care of during our stay. Would 100% stay again if we find ourselves traveling westward in the future. Highly Recommend!

Fantastic Family Time at Rivendell

What a wonderful time our family had at Rivendell. Everything was perfect - from the amenities to the location - we couldn't have been more pleased. There was room for everyone to be together as well as places to go to be alone. The location has beautiful scenery and is so quiet. The location also provides very easy access to Rocky Mountain National Park as well as the town of Estes Park. It is a place for us to return to in the future. Thank you.

July 5-13 family reunion

We chose this property specifically because of the location outside the hubbub of Estes Park and yet near enough to be no trouble to get into town whenever we needed to. It has nice large bedrooms and a large wrap around porch. The back sitting room that overlooks the back wooded area of the property is enclosed which was nice on cooler evenings. Our large family had plenty of space. Bring supplies such as shampoo and extra towels - or plan to do laundry often if you’re a large family. The trailhead at the end of the road - about 1/4 mile away - leads right into RMNP, which is a huge plus when at the height of the season and time entry passes. We saw moose, deer, coyotes, bighorn sheep, wild turkeys and lots of stars at night. Would stay again - at a less crowded time of year in Estes Park.
