Cabin vacation rentals in Carter Lake Reservoir

This delightful cabin was just magical! It was the perfect location, we were able to walk to “downtown Estes”, walk to get coffee in the morning with the pups, the pups love this huge backyard, it was just a perfect and beautiful day! Saw lots of wildlife, had a ton of fun! And Oakley couldn’t be faster and more efficient with my questions! Do not hesitate to rent this cabin! I have stayed in Estes many times and this to me was my favorite, there’s something so nice about having a larger cabin than a smaller one! And being able to soak in the hot tub in the morning in the evenings was just divine! And a fun kitchen to cook in! Thank you!!

We loved this sweet little cabin! The hot tub was great for relaxing after long days of hiking. We enjoyed the peaceful surroundings, we saw deer and a baby elk from the driveway. The river gives very nice sound effects and we loved the using fire pit! The string lights also gave a nice ambiance. Overall, this cabin worked well for four adults, but you can tell it’s designed for a family with two kids. Jesse was very helpful when we had a minor issue and got it resolved quickly for us! I would not hesitate to stay again! It was also SO CLEAN! We appreciate the provided shampoo and things, such a nice touch.

This is the perfect mountain getaway cabin nestled right up next to a beautiful rushing creek(we were here beginning/mid June). The creek made it hard to leave the back deck but there was a beautiful drive to Golden and north to RMNP. We love walking the trails with our dog and drinking coffee on the back porch. It was the perfect way to experience the mountains!

We were very comfortable and loved being in the mountains. Breakfast out on the deck with the local dog to come visit was great, we didn't miss ours as much. When we come back to Colorado, we would probably pick Tami's place, we felt like we were at home. Thanks for making our vacation a special, relaxing time! Karen and Zachary

Stayed in Jessicas cabin for 3 nights. Rustic and cool cabin with Mt Meeker as a backdrop. Didnt want to spend all our time in estes so this location was an easy drive to both Estes as well as Nederland, and some of the other cute towns south os estes. Saw a deer less than 50 ft from cabin. The piano was a bonus that I was glad to tinker on. I love log cabin style so the vaulted ceilings and loft were right up my alley. Jessicas instructions were clear and communication was 2nd to none. Thanks Jessica

We thouroughly enjoyed our stay at 48 Overlook Drive!! The house had all the accomodations needed for a comfortable vacation. The home felt cozy and the views were spectacular! The drive was relaxing getting to the mountain top! Austin, made sure we had everything we needed. We recommend this space for anyone looking for mountain views, not far from many scenic cities.

Lauren’s place was a perfect escape from the normal chaos of life! The perfect get away for anyone looking to just get out in the mountains! Best way to enjoy a perfect night under the stars was to be in the nice warm hot tub or next to the perfect little fire pit! 10 out of 10 will go again! Thank you so much for a wonderful time!

Heather and the owner of this Airbnb were amazing. very accommodating, responsive, and the place was just what we hoped it would be. wonderful

Anne’s place is a perfect secluded get away! Close enough to Boulder if you want to enjoy the city, but also tucked away in the mountains where you can escape everything. The house is old, and reminded me of my grandmother’s farm house, which is part of its charm and is partly why we chose to stay here. It’s a step back in time (still has internet though). The town of Gold Hill (a few extra miles up the road) is worth the trip. Talk about an even bigger step back in time (Google it)! All in all, we had a really great experience (there’s even an old rotary phone that confused the mess out of my 16 year old daughter), and Anne was a great host.

This cabin was beautiful inside and out. The location was gorgeous. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Thomas’s cabin. Highly recommend!

It was a lovely experience. Everything was wonderful and the host had the best recommendations and made the best little booklet. They made everything straightforward. 100% would love to come back.

I think the highlight of the cabin was the wood burning stove. We built a fire all 3 nights we were there. (My oldest son is an EagleScout and enjoyed chopping wood and making kindling). We were in town for a wedding at Black Stone River. It was only a 10 min drive away. The driveway was very steep. You need decent tires to be able to climb the hill. We had 4 cars and they all made it even with a few rain showers during our stay. The beds were comfortable. The cool mountain air and beautiful patio were relaxing. We wish we could have enjoyed the sauna in the back yard, but I don't think it was up and running for guests, yet. It appears to be a newly added addition. The only thing that would have made the cabin better would have been a hot tub or sauna.

Yvonne’s place was just as described but even better once you arrive! I had the pleasure of meeting the host and some of the local residents who were welcoming, friendly and hospitable. Can’t wait to visit again!

Allison was very helpful with her instructions. Beautiful rustic cabin. Much bigger than we imagined. Very private property with humming birds and chipmunks to entertain us. Also short drive from Nederland where we could shop and dine. We would definitely return if we were in the area.

Our stay at Pat’s cabin was lovely! We stayed with our two kids (ages 12 & 15) for 6 days, and we had plenty of room. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was very well equipped, and the hot tub was great. There were plenty of towels, toilet paper, etc. The cabin was exactly as it was listed. We enjoyed seeing the deer everyday in our yard. The games in the cabin were a fun bonus as well as the bikes, pool, and other amenities at the Murphy Resort. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

Great tiny cabin for one or two people! It was small and adorable and location was great! Close to an awesome coffee shop and cafes. Right by RMNP. Bathroom would be difficult to deal with if you are not a small person. Lots of wildlife and elk right out side my door! Loved my stay!

We loved staying for the weekend. The cabin was clean and quaint with beautiful views. Lots of outdoor activities to engage in. It was peaceful and quiet with beautiful stars to see.

Wonderful home with lots of privacy and very peaceful. Everything you could possibly need is in this home. The creek across the road is beautiful and so soothing to hear while relaxing on the expansive front porch. The hosts are very friendly and respond quickly to any questions or needs. Lots of hiking in the surrounding area and so close to Estes Park. We would definitely stay here again!

Would highly recommend Brandon's home! we have stayed here multiple times and have always been pleased with our stay. such a lovely home with a place to sit outside and enjoy the outdoors and also, enjoy the hot tub.

Guirec is a wonderful host, extremely responsive, and his home is one-of-a-kind beautiful. We are so happy we chose it for our home base, and enjoyed everything about our stay.

David was an extremely gracious host and he has a lovely property nestled in a mountain valley. There are lakes, wildlife, beautiful walks around the private and secluded neighborhood. It was an incredibly relaxing and enjoyable stay. Thank you so much, David! We will certainly stay at your home again next time we vacation in Colorado!

Heidi's properties at the Riverside cabins are amazing. We had a very easy check-in, with very clear instructions and directions. The amenities were wonderful. really lovely to be able to use the fire pits and the cabins are right on the river. Lyons is close enough to get into town easily, yet far enough where you feel like you are in nature in a private setting. Can't wait to go back!

Just—wow! We had an incredible stay at Eric’s cabin. The setting is absolutely beautiful, tucked in the mountains with peaceful views and that crisp Colorado mountain air. The cabin design is the perfect balance of minimal yet cozy, with every detail thoughtfully considered. You can tell how much care went into the making of it. We loved the hot tub, outdoor patio dining, and movie nights with the projector—definitely a highlight. The location made it super easy to explore Empire, Georgetown, and Idaho Springs, but we were always happy to come back to the quiet and calm of the cabin. It was the perfect getaway from the city—relaxing, fun, and exactly what our family needed. On our last night, it rained, and a rainbow stretched across the sky just outside the cabin. Pure magic! We’ll definitely miss it and hope to return every summer!

It’s simple, just choose this home for your stay. It was comfortable from the moment we arrived. Which on this trip was of great importance for us. The house is thoughtfully put together. The kitchen was more than fully equipped. The views on the drive up were awesome including herds of deer and turkeys greeted us as we pulled in the driveway.
