Simple mountain cabin on the banks of the mighty Saint Vrain Creek
About this cabin rental

;Charlie was right there to meet us with a smile. We toured the cabin and he gave us check in and out information. The setting is just beautiful, The little creek that runs just behind the cabin is so peaceful to sit by. Enjoyed out beer and wine out there. Charlie was available if we needed him, which we did not, except for directions to places. Would definitely recommend this cabin.

Overall, Charlie was a nice man who we only spoke with twice. He gave us full privacy. We wanted to say goodbye but didn't want to disturb him. He lives right there bu the cabin.
This cabin is perfect! Best location. Right in the moutains. The water behind the cabin was so pretty and peacful to listen to. Sitting on the back patio right by it, nothing was better. I'm already planning a trip back to this location. We had everything we need. This is the perfect place. Get all you need in the city before heading out. Stay in the mountains the entire trip and explore. You will not regret this experience. Thank you Charlie for sharing your property with us.

Wonderful, rustic cabin, right on the creek in Peaceful Valley, away from the hustle and bustle of Estes Park but still close to RMNP.
Host is wonderful and accommodating; can’t say enough good things. Very peaceful getaway.
5.0
Charlie lives on the property but we never saw or heard him and we might as well have been there all alone. Although close to the highway and a few other cabins, the vegetation and constant song of the creek created a peaceful seclusion.
The cabin was great: very clean, functional and well-stocked but unassuming and comfortable. The creek wraps around two sides of the house and the patio is a perfect place to watch animals and birds. Among others we saw Mink, a Western Tanager, a Flycatcher and one night we heard coyotes calling nearby.
Charlie is an appealing host and we look forward to getting to know him better on future visits.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Charlie’s house. We loved to sit on the patio early morning and drink our coffee listening to the creek. Charlie made everything super easy for us! We can’t wait until next time!

My husband and I along with our 2 boys had the pleasure of staying at Mr Charlie's cabin last week. The location is outstanding. We loved that it's right next to the St Vrain creek. We kept the windows open so we could hear the rushing of the water. Having coffee by the creek in the mornings was the perfect way to start the day. The cabin is quaint and vintage, but well-stocked. Mr Charlie was very gracious and welcoming and lives on site, but gave us our space. He was the perfect host! Thanks again from the Prices!

Within 10 minutes of checking in, we saw a moose in the back of the house by the creek. We counted 12 humming birds at once in the front with constant humming birds coming and going to feed. The beds were very comfortable and kitchen had all we needed. We met Charlie and he was great with the kids and greeted us if he was on the property. Friendly, but also gave us space for our family time.

Great property for exploring RMNP and surrounding areas, or just relaxing and enjoying nature. We loved the peacefulness of the property and listening to the creek at night. The hummingbirds were an extra special treat as was the moose that wondered in the area one morning. The owner, Charlie, was very helpful and great to talk to. If you're worried about him being on site - don't! You will have all the privacy you want. The kitchen has everything you will need - from spices to pots and pans, he thought of everything. It became a joke - do you think he has a (fill in the blank) and sure enough - he did! Thank you for sharing your lovely piece of paradise with us - it was a welcome relief from the hustle and bustle (and heat) of Florida. Can't wait until we can come back again.

What a wonderful cabin. Every room has a view of aspens and evergreens. You pull in and here the sounds of the river below and you immediately feel your tension ease away. We had a peaceful stay.

Great location - close to RMNP, hiking trails, and situated right on the melodious river. Owner was very friendly when we needed but otherwise we didn’t see him and felt like we had privacy. We hiked, cooked, played games and watched movies. A perfect reunion! Thank you Charlie!!

We enjoyed the quiet time sitting along the creek along the proprty. The cabin was very close to the Wild Basin area and close enough to Estes Park to enjoy RMNP/Bear Lake property. This place was perfect for a private getaway in the woods with convenient access to nearby points of interest. I would definitely stay here again if I return to the area!

This location proved to be perfect for exploring RMNP, Roosevelt, and Arapaho National Forests. Hidden on the banks of the St. Vrain, you can't go wrong here! Rustic yet modern, quiet and comfortable, too. Excellent local food choices just minutes away. Cabin is well equipped and maintained. We needed nothing! Enjoying morning coffee on the patio situated on the bank of the St. Vrain was a special treat. Recommended!

My husband and I had a great time staying in this cabin while we visited and hiked RMNP. Much appreciated the quiet peacefulness versus the hustle and bustle of Estes Park. To us it was well worth the little extra driving with the stunning views to get to RMNP. Would definitely stay again!

Love the area, love the cabin, we thoroughly enjoyed the stay. We saw moose on the property as well. Easy access to Estes park, Boulder and Longmont. Would recommend this property. Loved it!!!

Our cabin was very clean and well stocked. We loved being able to leave the windows open and listen to the babbling brook. Nicely secluded. Felt safe. Our host lives on the property, very welcoming but not intrusive. Enjoyed the quite.

The cabin itself was adequate and the kitchen was well stocked, but what we will remember about our stay is the lovely location. It is right on the edge of the St. Vrain and you can sit on the patio next to the water. You can hear the water rushing if you open the windows in the cabin. We saw over a hundred hummingbirds during our four night stay. It was an idyllic spot. The host was friendly and helpful as well.

We loved our trip to Allenspark CO. Charlie was helpful, there when we needed him and not when we didn't. Lots we could do around and see. The creek wrapping around the property gave us the sound of water all day and all night to fall asleep with. I'd recommend this for a simple mountain getaway for sure.

First time here in Colorado and I am so glad that we found this place! Me and my wife are from nashville and haven't had this sort of privacy in a while. Cabin was spotless when we arrived, and well stocked. Everything was clearly labeled and easy to find. Wifi was surprisingly good. The outdoor area by the creek was beautiful and so relaxing. Perfect little slice of paradise to escape to in the Rocky Mountains! It was so nice to be out of the big city and somewhere so tranquil. Reasonably close to everything. Easy access on paved roads in the summer.
Very comfortable and accommodating. Would absolutely recommend!

It’s was a lovely stay. A true cabin in the woods. The River out back along with the patio makes for a peaceful place for rest. This has been our favorite place in the Rockies and we will be looking to stay again in the future.

Our staff was fantastic. The cabin sits by a mountain river. It’s rustic and brings back so many thoughts of the past. Can’t wait to go again but longer!

The cabin was very clean and had everything you needed. We loved the creek and listening to it. The thing that made us uncomfortable was the owner was right next to us in his camper. We didn’t feel like we had privacy.

Breathtaking location on the Middle St. Vrain River and a great homebase to explore the areas and communities near the Rocky Mountain National Park! The platform next to the river provided natural entertainment and flyfishing. Great place for peace and tranquility! Charlie is very accommodating and just a friendly person to talk to. Thanks for sharing your little piece of paradise with my family.

It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The best part was the good size patio right on the rushing rapids of Middle St Vrain river. Lots of bird watching too.

If you want to spend time in the Mountains, this place is perfectly located. The cabin is clean, comfortable, and well stocked. The river lulls you to sleep at night. The owner (Charlie), lives on the property. He was there to help if we needed him but otherwise we had complete privacy. We visited Estes Park, RM National Park, Nederland, and Boulder while staying at the cabin. You can dine out or buy groceries in Nederland, Estes Park, or Allen's Park. We explored Brainard Lake, Wilderness Basin and other short hikes as well. Overall we enjoyed our stay at the cabin.

We couldn't have been happier with Charlie's cabin on the creek! It was in a beautiful location away from crowds, close to Rocky Mountain National Park (about 20 mins from 2 lesser-used entrances, about 30 mins from the main entrance in Estes Park), and it had everything we needed - including an excellent movie collection and a 1000-piece puzzle we didn't have enough time to finish.
If you're looking for hiking, there's tons right nearby. If you're looking to chill, bring a hammock and set up next to the creek! If you're looking for something spooky, check out the ghost tour at the Stanley Hotel.
Charlie's incredibly friendly and willing to help if you need it and he can. Plus, he keeps the hummingbird feeders filled so you'll have plenty of tiny, colorful company.
He recently added wifi, but we weren't expecting it and we didn't use it. We didn't miss it!
If we have the chance to go back, we'd love to stay at Charlie's place again!

Cozy peaceful creek side cabin. We would definitely rent this cabin again. The owner Charlie is a pleasure.

This is my second time staying at Charlie's, and it was just as good as the first time. This location is so perfect when you want to explore the area but don't want to stay near the crowds of Estes Park. A 20-minute drive to town and a little farther to RMNP is totally fine, especially when the drive is that beautiful, and there are plenty of reasons to take a day not exploring. Sitting by the creek, watching the hummingbirds, was a great way to spend a day. We'll be back!

This was a great secluded cabin. The owner stays on the property in a camper but never bothers you! Super friendly! The cabin is just steps away from a creek.
