Serene Solitude mountain cabin in Allenspark

Located near both the Wild Basin Entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park and Long's Peak trail head, this cabin is ideally suited to anyone looking for a base for hiking, riding, climbing, hunting or just lazing and star gazing.

The first floor includes a combined kitchen, dining room and living room, as well as two bedrooms and bath. Upstairs is a large loft overlooking the living room that most guests use as the master bedroom because of its large windows, the king size bed and it's stunning views of Mt. Meeker.

The house sits on an acre and a half lot. It is adjacent to Ponderosa Lodge (Property # 803298) which we often rent in tandem (it is about 100 yards down hill) and which can be accessed by a path. Many families have rented both houses together for family reunions and weddings.

We bought the house in 2001, although Susie had hoped to purchase it since first setting foot in in 1967, when her parents brought the family to meet the builder before purchasing the house down the hill.

There has always been something very special about this cabin. It feels isolated while still being close to amenities. Its an easy 15 minute drive to Estes, 45 minutes to Boulder, and 5 minutes to the booming metropolis of Allenspark (population 250!). The Meeker Park Lodge Livery is a short walk and in summer the lodge has a small grocery store for last minute items.

We are surrounded by Rocky Mountain National Park and Roosevelt National Forest so there is hiking in virtually every direction, from easy strolls to the trail head for one of Colorado's magnificent 14'ers. The Long's Peak trail head is just a brief drive.

Susie's family started coming out to this area in 1955 and have enjoyed the wonders of this area in every season. The abundance of wildlife (moose, elk, mule deer, bobcats, hawks, owls, chipmunks, squirrels, seen them all!) can be enjoyed from the deck.

The house is fully furnished and includes satellite and WiFi, a flat screen TV, DVD, games, books and a welcoming wood burning stove in the living room.

We’ve recently put in a new king size mattress and have made some other upgrades. Its a great house.
During your stay at this cabin, you'll be within walking distance of Eagle Plume's. A water park is available. The cabin offers free WiFi and a kitchen.

Perfect
The property is aptly named Serene Solitude Cabin. It featured a lovely dining room table where our family could play games in the evening. We enjoyed drinking coffee and making plans on the deck in the mornings. My favorite part was waking up and watching the sunrise over the mountains from bed.

Awesome home & location to enjoy the outdoors
We loved the outdoor deck to relax and enjoy the woods and wild turkeys (who knew they could fly). Hiking was a short drive to many different trails inside and outside Rocky Mountain National Park. Loft bedroom skylights were fantastic to look at the stars late at night.

Great Cabin and Location
We have stayed in quite a few VRBO properties and this one is by far one of the best. The kitchen was very well stocked with utensils, pots and pans, dishes, and mixing bowls. The front deck was very quiet and offered some good views. The property was close to the national park and several trailheads, along with just a short drive to Estes Park. I highly recommend this property is you are planning a trip to the area! The Longs Peak trail was astounding up to Chasm Lake! If we decide to visit the area again(this was our 3rd time), we will try to stay here again if the cabin is open for our dates. Susan is a great host and answered an email very promptly.

Great spot near RMNP
The location and setting of the property were perfect! Stunning views of the mountains and close to Estes and Rocky Mountain National Park, but truly felt miles away from everything! House was clean and well appointed. Loved sitting out on the deck.

Loved Solitude Cabin!
The pictures do not do justice to this cozy cabin! We loved the authentic mountain vibe and how charming and CLEAn it was! Waking up to Mountain View’s and feeling like you’re in the middle of the woods is a unique aspect of staying here. We hated to leave!

Get away from the hustle and bustle
If you’re looking for a location close to RMNP but still want solitude, this is the cabin for you. Both the Long’s Peak and Wild Basin entrances are 5 minutes away. Estes Park is only about 20 minutes and the drive is beautiful. The cabin is small and rustic, but has everything you need. It made our childhood dreams of living in an A-frame in the woods come true.. The view from the bed in the loft bedroom in the early morning and on starry nights is amazing! The stairs are steep. We took a little flashlight up with us to see in the middle of the night without waking the other person. The living room furniture definitely needs to be replaced, but everything was very clean. Our biggest con has nothing to do with the cabin itself, but rather the pet fee. We have a 20lb, non-shedding dog and at $50/night, this added up to a whopping $550 for our 11 night stay. We did not notice this when we booked and at that time it was too late to change. All in all, we loved the cabin and would stay there again if the pet fee was a little more reasonable.

Excellent Location!
The location of this property is in close proximity to many major trailheads, including wild basin. I would recommend this property for avid hikers who want an early jump on the day. The cabin itself could use some updates.

Perfect Cabin for Our Allenspark Vacation!
Solitude was just the cabin we needed for our stay in Allenspark. Our nine year old grandson loves Lego and the Lego A frame kit, so he appreciated the architecture of this cabin. These are what the adults appreciated so much: the comfortable and inviting decor (loved the wall quilts and local historic pictures); the well stocked kitchen (even though we did not do a lot of cooking, it was amazing how efficiently so much was in the kitchen); the fantastic views of Mt Meeker; the night views from the loft windows; eating meals on the deck; the comfortable seating for family gatherings in the living room; naps on the deck; how well the cabin was maintained and how clean everything was; the location for enjoying the local sites and Rocky Mt Nat Park. We have been coming to Allenspark since 1967 and Solitude cabin helped us make this another memorable and "historic" visit!

Good Location for Exploring RMNP
Well-maintained and comfortable cabin for our party of four. Nice mountain ambience. Minutes away from Wild Basin entrance to RMNP via car. You can also access the park from a trail just north of property near a little camp ground on the other side of of Highway 7. Easy drive into Estes Park and main eastern entrances to RMNP.

Not having W/D was a problem. It was an oversight by me when booking.
The Windows offered by the A-frame was a definite unique experience! We love nature/wildlife and between the location and windows it really put you in nature. Although at our scheduled stay we did not see any wildlife.

Family Reunion
We kept referring to our time at Solitude Cabin as “glamping”. We were there for a family reunion and six of us stayed here. We really enjoyed this rustic cabin amid the natural Rocky Mountain environment. Only one bathroom and no dishwasher added to the rustic feel. LOL!

We had a great time staying at Solitude. It was perfectly located for us with around a 15 minute drive to Estes Park and a 30 minute drive to Lyons. The communication by the property manager was excellent. We enjoyed visiting the park and sitting on the deck of the house daily.
