Live the mountain life! All season pet friendly cabin w/ high-speed internet located on beautiful 2.5 acres with huge deck to enjoy outdoor grilling and arguably the best views of Longs Peak in the Estes Park area (the highest mountain in Rocky Mountain National Park)! Located just 4 miles from the center of all town activities & 7 miles from the National Park's main east entrance where premier hiking, fly fishing, horseback riding, & wildlife viewing opportunities abound (as well as snowshoeing and amazing backcountry skiing in the winter)! Depending on the season, elk, mule deer and an occasional bobcat have also been seen around our Rocky Mountain Panorama Cabin property (even a moose)! After a day's activities, find your favorite restaurant, or enjoy sharing meals in the cabin's large kitchen area connecting to the family room. When the sun goes down, star gaze on the deck then come back inside and warm up by the cozy fireplace. Play family board games, watch a movie (or stream Smart TV), or surf the internet together. Finally, retire to one of the 2 bedrooms (one with log style king bed, and other with 2 queen beds), or fall asleep on the large couch while you watch the fire glow!
