4th of July stay

We loved Redemption Cabin. The location is perfect to walk into town and avoid the traffic. It was also very convenient to get into the park. The cabin was so cozy and made us feel right at home. Owners were around frequently to make sure we had everything we need. Highly recommend a stay here

Cozy cabin

This was a cozy little cabin with everything we needed. Owners were very helpful and accommodating. We enjoyed being close to the downtown area so we could walk when we wanted to. The cabin decorations were very fitting for the old cabin feel, but the updated cabin was very nice.

Cozy cabin steps from everything

The cabin has everything you'd need and nothing you don't. It was a very short walk to the main street and right across the road from the river. Be sure to check out Ed's Cantina and Penelope's Burgers for great meals and Trendz for shopping. Cheryl and Rick were great hosts!

Location was great, cabin was clean but small. Bedroom was small good thing extra bedroom as it allowed me a space to unpack stuff and get ready. Bathroom mirror over sink was small and high being short mirror was no use to me or a kid. If you are looking for location only this is your cabin.

Rustic yet convenient

If you are looking for a yet want to be close to downtown, this is the place. The inside looks like a page from Pinterest and it has been beautifully restored. Everything you need is here. The host even took my daughter and son in law up the mountain. I would love to come back.

Eclectic Cabin

The cabin was well maintained and our hosts went out of their way to help my wife and I celebrate our anniversary. The decor definitely speaks “mountain life”. Located right across the street from the serenity of the running river. They even have a little sitting area there for your enjoyment. You can walk to breweries, restaurants, and downtown Estes if you choose. Sidewalks are limited so we just chose to drive. We are so thankful for all Rick and Cheryl did. Their hospitality is incredible.

Just What We Needed

Cheryl and Rick are by far the best hosts we've had. Extremely responsive and it was nice to meet and visit with them. The property was great! You definitely can tell they have put much love and thought into the renovation. Very clean and well appointed. We were able to sit by the river and have a glass of wine. We also had elk one morning right outside our door. Just what we needed after not being in Estes in 12 years. Thank you Rick and Cheryl!

Close to everything but away from it all!

This cabin was just what we were looking for! We were impressed by how well appointed it was. Rick and Cheryl really thought of everything. It takes you back in time, while having every modern convencince. I was very appreciative of the strong water pressure and extra hot water! Within walking distance you've got plenty of coffee shops, restaurants, shopping, and breweries! The River Walk is basically right out your door and is a beautiful addition to Estes Park. Rick gave us plenty of ideas for hiking in Rocky and pointed us to the collection of maps and books in the cabin. Rick and Cheryl are incredibly accommodating and worked with us on an early check-in. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in Estes Park. Thank you both!

Good for your soul

We had such a positive experience from beginning to end while staying at Redemption Cabin. The communication with Rick was thorough, efficient, and helpful. The location could not be better- close to the river/creek and walking distance to town. We left our car untouched for all of our three days except while exploring the National Park. The cabin itself is filled with the perfect mixture of old and new. The antiques are interesting and obviously well thought out. My favorite touches were the suitcase turned into a vanity and the bell jar lights. We enjoyed the lack of tv though we did watch the Estes Park DVD, which offered additional insight into the history of the town. Mostly we read, drank wine or coffee out front, sat out back and watched the chipmunks, and just enjoyed our family time. Our three days went way too quickly but certainly we appreciated this 'good for your soul' visit. Hope to return after we are back in the states again. Blessings to Rick and his family!

We really enjoyed our stay, and Cheryl and Rick were excellent hosts! Rick took some time to share with us his knowledge of fly fishing, which led us to book a guided fly fishing tour in town, and we had a great time!
