Marys Lake Cabin an Estes Park Original- Pet Friendly! 20-NCD0352

Mary's Lake Cabin is an original Estes Park cabin built in 1909. It is located just a mile away from the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park, Mary's Lake, and downtown Estes Park! It is situated on a wooded .7-acre lot where you will enjoy mountain views and abundant wildlife such as deer, elk, and an occasional meandering black bear. If you take the time to relax on the porch, you can watch them as they graze the property or sleep peacefully under the pines in the front yard. This beautiful location is also a natural habitat for wild turkeys. You will find them wandering through the yard on a daily basis during the Fall and Spring months.
Whether you are visiting Estes Park for business or pleasure, there is something to do for everyone. One thing is certain, you can enjoy any of the four seasons Estes Park has to offer. Whether it's snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, sledding in Rocky Mountain National Park, horseback riding, or visiting the downtown Estes Park shops, you can stay busy any time of the year. During the Summer months try your luck at fishing, hiking, panning for gold, and wildlife viewing. Don't forget your camera for those picture-perfect photo ops of the beautiful Mountain Views! There's also plenty to do at the cabin when you are not out exploring the National Park. While inside you can enjoy card games, board games, puzzles, books, DVDs, Wi-Fi, streaming T.V, or just relax next to the fireplace (which is the main heat source for the home) on those cool nights. You will find a ping-pong table and darts in the garage, or you can enjoy a game of cornhole on a sunny day in the driveway!
This historic Mary's Lake cabin offers a beautifully furnished 3 bedroom, 2 bath space with 1274 sq. ft. of living area! The home provides plenty of room for the whole family to enjoy with all the comforts you need. It even has a cute little loft and sitting area where you can drift away during an afternoon nap or dive not your favorite book! Be sure to take time and experience a mountain morning sunrise on the large open spacious deck while having that first cup of coffee in the morning. Then later in the day get ready to grill your next meal while you relax enjoying family and friends. And, on those occasions when you find yourself inside, enjoy the enclosed porch with a morning cup of coffee or your afternoon beverage of choice. You will want an extra day or two just to soak in the sweetness of this cozy mountain cabin.
So, what are you waiting for? The Mountains are Calling!

A slice of history

This was a charming place to stay. You. Can. NOT. Beat the location. Especially, not if you are going into RMNP at the Beaver Meadow Visitor Center. We come from the land of Central HVAC and I was a bit concerned when I saw the first forecast for our arrival date. But that didn’t pan out and even when it was (nearly) freezing outside, the system of the fireplace and space heaters (and closed doors) worked out perfectly; even for my elderly mom who is never warm enough. The beds were comfortable and the linens nice. The kitchen is well stocked, not just with pots and pans but condiments and shelf stable goodies. We ate breakfast in every morning and cooked dinner several times. You could walk to a lovely grocery store if you had forgotten anything. (It’s uphill on the way back!) Water pressure is great. Our visitors included: turkeys, a bunny and several deer. I’m a bit of a history buff and I loved seeing a copy of the original deed for the acreage over the fireplace. And to the naysayers that fussed about the “charms” of a 100 year old house…when you are over 100 years old, I bet your floor will be a little sloped and your augmentations might be noticeable.

Great Location

We visited RMNP for two days and found this cottage to be in a great location. Just minutes to the park gate and away from the busy traffic of Estes Park. My children enjoyed the “charm” of the cottage, it reminded them of a WI resort that we go to. While some furnishings are dated, the appliance are all new. I did miss not having a dishwasher. We also stayed when the weather became unseasonably cold and found the heating to be sufficient. For those traveling with pets, while the cottage is amongst other cottages and is not “alone in the woods”, there was plenty of wild animals and wild animal scat surrounding the house. Overall, we found this rental clean and its proximity to RMNP and Estes Park to be ideal.

Thanksgiving get away

We wanted a quiet Thanksgiving and to experience some cooler temperatures. This was the perfect spot. Location was great. Close to Estes, RMNP and beautiful scenery right out our front door. It snowed while we were there. We saw several deer out front Lmost every day. Very relaxing.

Neat getaway home

This was our 4th trip to Estes Park and Rocky Mtn. National Park. We brought my dad for the first time to see the beautiful scenery and wildlife. The house had everything we needed, we enjoyed the elk and deer in the yard. Our Mini Aussie enjoyed them from the front porch as she made that her lookout. The property owner was very attentive and helpful with all the instructions and questions. We will be looking to come back and stay here again in the future.

Great place to stay while exploring

My group and I were in the area for a wedding and had the Bride and Grooms dog with us. The cabin is pet friendly, but be aware of the wildlife. Lots of elk and deer. We had a small issue, but the Managment company addressed the issue and partially comped us for the inconvenience. It’s a good spot to lay your head after adventuring and walking through Estes Park.

I love Estes Park!

Property location was great. Very close to Beaver Meadows RMNP entrance. There were elk grazing and napping in the yard nearly every morning while we had breakfast. The home is fully outfitted including a kitchen with ample implements to enable a range of family meals. You can tell the house has grown and evolved in its ~100 years making it eclectic. It served us well.

Weird neighbor

Nice location and views. In instructions said to leave dirty dishes in dishwasher, there was no dishwasher. Outdated food/condiments in fridge and pantry. Loose wires visible under working fire place. Old uncomfortable furniture. Taking time outside and a weird across the yard neighbor took pictures of us, walked up on us,then kept stalking. The price was right but the fees outrageous. Also had to use 2 different apps to complete payment. We followed the rules, but all in all a great stay.

Fine for quick winter trip

I might characterize the property as a place for hunters and people in the area for fishing. It's rustic, as expected for a 1909 house! Initial concerns about "no heat" were quickly dissipated by a warming fireplace and heating units in bedrooms.

Enjoyable Property, VRBO charges too high

While we enjoyed the property, it was clean, well situated, in good shape, and well stocked, I was surprised with no dishwasher and the main source of heat being the fireplace. Well both situations were manageable, I wish I had been made aware of those items prior to booking the property. I do want to complain that over 42% of the cost of renting this property for 2 nights ended up being VRBO and cleaning charges. I feel like that was quite excessive. Additionally, early checkin/late checkout options were mentioned in several of my notices from the property manager. I was dismayed to learn that those two options would have cost me an additional $200 and for only providing access to the property for an additional total of 4 hours.

Perfect Location

Our main purpose for staying in Estes Park was to be close to RMNP and this property filled the bill perfectly. It was such an easy commute each day we went to the park. It was a functional property that met our needs with cabin being an apt description. It was cool in the mornings but the gas powered fireplace and space heater warmed up the living spaces pretty quickly. We were looking for a property that allowed pets for our son's dog for a couple nights of our stay and this was one of the few properties available. We would stay here again!

Grandma's House/Cabin

Although the home was cozy and it felt like you were at grandma's house; home was very old, stuffy, out dated. Carpets need replacing, couches and pull out are old and overall felt dirty. My family and I suffer from seasonal allergies and our stay caused us all to have allergy flare ups. House doesn't seem to have proper ventilation system, it's more of a cabin and not a house. Wall heaters didn't work, over all our stay is a 3 out of 10. Of course the views are amazing and we were able to see Elk and turkey walk by the property. Family and I won't be booking that stay until it's updated.
