Escape to the mountains and discover this one-of-a-kind log cabin retreat nestled in a lush pine forest along The Big Thompson River. Meticulously crafted and lovingly maintained, this rustic-chic cabin offers the perfect blend of modern comfort and timeless charm-all just steps from the river and minutes from both Drake and Estes Park. Step inside to soaring vaulted ceilings, handcrafted log beams, a cozy wood-burning stove set in a river rock hearth, and a stunning spiral staircase that leads to a private loft. The open-concept living space includes a beautifully updated kitchen with custom cabinets, live-edge countertops, and modern appliances. Natural light pours through oversized windows, offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding forest and rock cliffs. The main-level sleeping area is warm and inviting, with log walls and large windows that bring nature right indoors. A tastefully finished bathroom features tile accents, a glass walk-in shower, and classic log detailing. The loft above provides a perfect secondary sleeping nook, reading space, or bonus storage. Outside, you'll find multiple custom-built features including stone landscaping, a rustic log archway, and a riverfront firepit area-perfect for evenings under the stars. The property also includes a vintage log outhouse, utility shed, windmill, and historic wagon, adding character and charm to this already magical escape. Key upgrades include a new private well and septic system, both installed just one year ago, providing modern functionality while preserving the cabin's authentic feel. Whether you're looking for a full-time mountain home, or a weekend getaway, this riverfront cabin is a rare find-peaceful, private, and ready to enjoy.
