View the kid's zip line called the "Flying Chicken," made for kids under 100# so they can get off and on by themselves. The location is perfect for hiking and relaxing. You will have close access to Rocky Mountain National Park and its wide range of activities. Enjoy cocktails around the wood fire pit and watch the stars or sunrise while relaxing in the hot tub.

There is a smaller deck off the master bedroom where you can get away to read a book and view cabin rock to the north. We have installed a high-end Jacuzzi 6 person Hot Tub with a range of features, including music at one end of the deck with great views of the mountains perfect for watching the sunset, listening to your favorite music through Bose speakers mounted near the Hot tub, and on the deck, or having a cup of coffee as the sun rises in the morning, causing Mount Meeker to glow a fantastic shade of pink. Our cabin is equipped for our seven grandchildren, with swings and a playhouse cabin for smaller kids. Older kids will enjoy the incredible treehouse with a 16-foot slide, fire pole, tire swing, and tree swing. There is an old foundation with logs and lumber where older kids make huts (no tools needed). We even have a "Kids 100" zip line they can operate by themselves called the "Flying Chicken Express," where they can get on and off with our help. All but the zip line of the kid's play activities are within 30 feet of the front deck. There are about 20 cabins on our private road with no full-time residents. Most days, you will see only a car or two passing the cabin. Our property is adjacent to a 2,000-acre Boulder open space that will never be developed, so hiking is just up the hill. The cabin is very close (five miles) to the less crowded Wild Basin entrance to RMNP, where a short hike will take you to Calypso cascades and waterfall. Several longer, more challenging hikes are also options from this entrance. The Meeker Park Lodge and Stables are only three miles away for horseback riding. (Meeker Park Lodge is over 90 years old and was run up until last year by the original family. It is open between Memorial Day and October.) There is also horseback riding in Allenspark (five miles away) and the Aspen Lodge (5 miles away). One of our cabin's great features is easy access to Estes Park without the traffic and congestion of an Estes Park location. For more, at a slower pace, visit Allenspark (5 miles), which has several restaurants, including a new Rock Creek tavern for pizza and Meadow Mountain Cafe for big mountain breakfasts and healthy lunches. The Ferncliff Grocery is available as well as the Meeker Park Lodge Store for Milk and Bread (June to Oct) The cabin is 13 miles south of Estes Park, so you are only 20 minutes away from the many attractions of Estes Park, including the main entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park and the world-famous Trail Ridge Road (the highest continuously paved highway in the US). The drive over Trail Ridge Road is an incredible day drive, passing over the 12,880-foot-high continental divide to Grand Lake and back. To minimize park congestion, they have implemented a timed entry process to ensure everyone can enjoy the park without overly large crowds. Estes Park has many attractions, including golf, shopping, medical facilities, and weekend festivals, including the Longs Peak Scottish Highland Festival and the Elk Fest in the fall. You will probably see more Elk in Estes Park than elsewhere in Colorado. For kids, check out the Big Slide amusement park for lots of rides and fun. There is also great miniature golf outside Estes (Estes Park Ride A Cart has two excellent courses). Estes Park Golf Course is a tremendous public 18-hole course on the way to Estes.
