We are excited to welcome you to Estes Park, our little piece of paradise. We hope to provide you with an exceptional vacation experience.

This unique rental has two separate cabins on one property, each with one bedroom, one bath, and living area. The larger "Smiling Elk" has a full modern kitchen with a wonderful gas stove, full bath, queen bed, sleeper sofa, washer/dryer, and a wood-burning fireplace. Free wi-fi and a flat-screen TV with Direct TV complete the package. We provide all linens, towels, a stocked kitchen, and toiletries. The kitchen includes coffee, tea, paper goods, and all the dishes and cooking equipment you may need. There is also a crock pot so you can have dinner ready and waiting when you return from the day's activities.

The smaller and adorable "Little Bear" has a partial kitchen (sink, microwave, mini-fridge, coffee maker), 3/4 bath with tiled shower, two twin beds, and a sleeper sofa. This cabin also has a flat-screen TV and free internet.

This property is ideal for couples, friends, or small families. It is situated near the west side of town, with easy access to Rocky Mountain National Park, yet only three miles from downtown. Several restaurants, coffee shops, miniature golf, and groceries are within walking distance. A free shuttle to downtown stops at the resort next door every hour, so you could leave the driving to others and just enjoy the ride.

Enjoy a backyard BBQ on the gas grill, or visit nearby local's favorite Smokin' Dave's BBQ. Coffee on the Rocks is open early if you prefer to have your coffee prepared for you. All of these are just down the street and around the corner. Country Market has groceries, gas, and great ice cream. The well-known Dunraven Inn restaurant is a short drive to the west, accessible without navigating the downtown traffic.

We are happy to answer any questions you may have about the Estes Park area and Rocky Mountain National Park, including local favorites, day hike suggestions, etc. Just give us a call before or during your stay. We want your vacation to be full of good memories, and will do what we can do to make that happen.

Please plan to bring your own reusable water bottles. Estes Park has award-winning water, and we hope you'll enjoy it's freshness. In an effort to be environmentally friendly, we discourage you from purchasing water in single-use plastic bottles.

If these cabins aren't available the dates you desire, please check out our other property that's right downtown - VRBO # 471009 - Riverwalk Loft Condos.

We look forward to being your hosts in Estes Park!

Back again!
This was our second stay here, and it was excellent both times. The location could not be better for spending time in RMNP. The cabins are in a quiet location and are in great shape. We’ve had turkeys, deer and elk in the yard. The hosts are very friendly and unfailingly helpful. We will be back!

Perfect Estes Park Stay
We visited Estes Park with our two college age kids. Having two cabins was great for each of us to have our own space. The cabins were super clean, the beds comfortable, and The Smiling Elk was well stocked. We loved the location-close to the main park entrance and restaurants/grocery store without having to go into Downtown, but also close to downtown when needed. We had a minor issue of a smoke detector needing a battery change, and the owners took care of it right away. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Great place for family fun
Our family trip of 5 with 3 teenagers who really enjoyed having two cabins. The location of the cabins and responsiveness of the owners was great. We have been to Estes Park 15 separate times in the summer, having A/C for this trip made it very comfortable. Both cabins are well supplied with appliances, kitchen supplies and toiletries. Rooms were clean and well stocked with linens. The sleeper sofa in the main cabin was very comfortable. Enjoyed the wildlife on the property and the wildlife passing through. Outside was quiet and easy to enjoy.

Great Getaway
We had a great time exploring Estes Park and these little cabins were so close to everything. My teenagers loved having a little of their own space in the evenings. The owners of these cabins have provided so much, we never didn’t have something we needed. My only suggestion is the mattresses could be updated to something more comfortable.

Rest and relax!
The location of the cabin is great! We found that we tried to stay as much as possible on the same side of town and avoided the busy downtown. Perfect access to RMNP and many restaurants as well. The cabin was extremely clean and welcoming. The owners are great at communicating and taking any feedback and implementing that feedback right away.
