Riverside Retreat is a family-owned, stand-alone cabin set right on the Big Thompson River in Estes Park, Colorado. The cabin faces the water, and a short five-minute walk along the river gets you into downtown Estes Park. Rocky Mountain National Park is close by for day trips and hikes.

Inside, the cabin is fully equipped with a full kitchen, a fireplace, and mountain views from the property. Outside there's a private patio and a swing where guests have reported watching wildlife, listening to hummingbirds, and taking in the sound of the river. It's built for couples and families looking for a quiet, nature-focused stay rather than a resort experience.

The cabin is open all year, so it works for both summer river days and quieter winter mountain visits. It's a good fit for travelers who want easy access to downtown restaurants and shops but still want to fall asleep to running water rather than traffic.

Booking is handled directly with the property. You can call the retreat or fill out the online booking form on their site to check availability and reserve dates. Listed hours for phone and booking inquiries run from 9am to 9pm, seven days a week.
