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.

The home was beautiful and exactly as it appeared in the listing. The location was close enough to town but still offered quiet surroundings. I would definitely enjoy booking this house again.

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

There were 10 adults for this trip and we all had enough room. The bedrooms are a nice size and the living spaces were wonderful (especially the porch area). It was nice that we were so close to RMNP too, as we were hiking every day. Highly recommend it.

This is a beautiful cabin on a quiet road. The location includes amazing views of mountains in every direction. We love the updated kitchen and bathrooms. Everything is well stocked. Perfect for a large family gathering.

Beautiful cabin in a gorgeous setting. Lots of space for large and small groups to gather around tables for games, relax on comfortable seating for conversations and get a great night’s sleep in comfortable beds. We will be back!

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.

Family from CA, AZ, and WA came together to stay for our brother's wedding and there was plenty of space for everyone. The kids had a blast exploring the outdoor space and playing in the game rooms. The beds were so comfy and the amazingly stocker kitchen worked well to cook many meals for many people. Would absolutely stay again.

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!

Absolutely stunning place. Wonderfully proportioned to allow for personal space and also full group gatherings in common areas. Myself and a few couples stayed here over a long weekend and greatly enjoyed being able to walk out the front door and a few steps later be snowshoeing in RMNP. Overall exactly what we had hoped for in an estes park cabin!

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.

The property manager just made our stay the BEST! She was kind, helpful, always available and a delight to work with - BEST EVER!! The owners are blessed to have her there for them.

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!

We couldn’t have been more pleased with the service, location and property. Everything we had hoped for to have family stay together as we celebrated a wedding in Estes Park. Coffee overlooking the mountains and hummingbirds on the balcony. Heaven!

We visited with our adult children and grandkids. 11 of us in total. The layout of the house was perfect for us to spread out while staying together. Property manager was easily accessible and is returning a personal belonging by mail that I left behind. I would recommend this property. Excellent location and gorgeous views.

Took the kids and grandkids for a few days getaway and stayed in this amazing cabin. So much room for the family as far as bedrooms, bathrooms, etc. Kitchen very well stocked with all the utensils and such to cook like it was one's own kitchen. The back enclosed porch was the family favorite - watching the hummingbirds and view of the Rocky Mountains - just beautiful. I recommend this cabin to anyone.

Beautiful property that worked so well for our family. If there is any feedback is that it was dusty, and some of the washers/dryers weren't working well. Property manager was very attentive and took very good care of us.

This cabin was so great for our large family. The location was perfect and close to RMNP and Estes Park. Wildlife in the back yard most every day. We had no problems with the cabin, but had to contact Sharon, the manager, just for a couple of things and she quickly responded and helped us. We will return to this cabin again if we can. Absolutely wonderful!

We had two families with small children and this home was a perfect fit. Home is very well appointed with nice furniture, linens, stocked kitchen and everything you need for your vacation. Behind the house at bottom of the hill we found some beaver ponds with tons of brook trout that made for some great fly fishing! Location was great. Just far enough from town to feel like you were not apart of the all of tourist traps, but close enough to be able to access shopping and restuarants when needed. We definitely recommend Rivendell!

The listing was exactly as advertised. Everything we needed was available, communication about access, wifi, instructions, etc was perfect and the cabin MORE than lived up to our expectations. The owner had to pop by a couple times to access the garage and I was always notified beforehand so there were no surprises and it didn’t inconvenience us in any way. Loved the views, the privacy, the number of spaces we could use for gathering together, and the decks. You can’t go wrong with this place!
