Some cabins ask you to bring a toolbox. This one asks you to bring hiking boots, coffee, and a few people you'd like to disappear into the mountains with.Welcome to 225 Mills Moraine, a rare getaway cabin on 1.3 private acres near the boundary of Rocky Mountain National Park and the Longs Peak Trailhead. If your idea of a good day starts with fresh mountain air and ends on a quiet deck under the trees, this one speaks your language. For much of its life, this was a rarely used summer cabin. Now it has been completely reimagined for year-round use while keeping the original mountain character intact. The home was stripped down, raised up, placed on a new concrete foundation, and every inch has been remodeled. Updates include a new upstairs bathroom, new foundation, new plumbing, new laundry hookups, new windows, new doors, new flooring, new metal roof, new wood stove, and a new storage shed. Inside, the layout is simple, warm, and easy to enjoy. The main level includes a bedroom, bath, kitchen, and living room with a wood stove for cozy evenings after a long hike. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms and a new bathroom offer room for guests, loved ones, or quiet retreat space, with added storage tucked under the eaves. Outside, the setting does what mountain cabins are supposed to do. Morning coffee on the deck. Dinner overlooking the forest. A short walk to the Longs Peak Trailhead and ranger station. A full day exploring Rocky Mountain National Park, then back home to rest, reconnect, and let the woods go quiet around you. With district year-round water, inspected septic system ready to transfer, and no major renovation list waiting for the next owner, this is not just a cabin near the park. It is a ready-to-enjoy mountain basecamp. If you have been waiting for a private cabin that lets you skip the projects and get straight to the stories, this one is worth seeing before someone else starts leaving their hiking boots by the door.
