Charming, one-of-a- kind cabin, with an active short term rental license! This home is nestled in a peaceful neighborhood, yet just moments away from the vibrant, historic village of Estes Park. Come and see this enchanting cabin and you're sure to fall in love with the expansive views of majestic mountains from the Sunrise Deck. Enjoy your morning coffee in the lounge chairs or at your own private cafe table. In the evening, after spending the day in nearby Rocky Mountain National Park, you'll sink into the embrace of the streaming hot tub, under the shade of a towering Ponderosa Pine. In autumn, you'll get to know the bull elk by name as their haunting mating calls echo through the valley. In the spring, you'll watch spotted fawns pick their way through wildflowers. There is a large fenced yard for your canine companions and a second fenced area for relaxing amid mature Quaking Aspen. This is truly a nature lover's paradise. Inside, you'll enjoy Australian Cypress hardwood flooring, 2 cozy bedrooms and a 1 full bath, featuring a refinished, vintage clawfoot tub. The living room is inviting with its wrought-iron and soapstone gas fireplace. In the kitchen you'll find new luxury vinyl plank flooring and original built-in cupboards. This home features a detached garage with a generously-sized workshop/storage room.
