About this property

River Front/.5 mi to EP/ AC/fishing

  • 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!

This is the ideal mountain home. When you walk in and see the river, right outside the back deck, it is mesmerizing. We could not think of one negative about Riverbend Lodge. Beautifully decorated and all the comforts of home, in a great mountain setting. We will definitely be back next year.

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.

If there is a perfect place to stay...this is as close as it could possibly be. Beautiful home, well equipped, very clean. We couldn't have been more happy with both the house and location. Sue (the property manager) was extremely easy to work with as well. She reached out to check if everything was okay, and made the whole process delightful. We couldn't be more happy with this stay!

This was my very favorite VRBO we have ever stayed in. Exceptionally clean, perfect location, well stocked kitchen. We had Thanksgiving here and had everything you could ever need. It is tough to beat sitting in the great room with a cup of coffee while elk and deer run around the river. We will definitely be back and would recommend it to anyone!

This was our second time staying at this property and we can’t wait to come back. The house itself it great, and the location can’t be beat. A short drive to town and RMNP, and we loved walking down the river path to feed the ducks at the rock shop each evening. There is so much to do close to the house, but we also love sitting on the patio and watching the river and nature around. The host has so many helpful suggestions as well!

Perfect Getaway!

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!
