Blue Spruce Cabin - Historic 3 bedroom riverfront cabin

LICENSE # 6126
Nestled along the tranquil banks of the Big Thompson River, rests the historic Blue Spruce Cabin, offering a serene retreat far from the hectic pace of everyday life. Immerse yourself in the soothing melody of the river or find solace on the expansive covered-in porch, where the rhythmic dance of water over rocks becomes a symphony for the senses.

Recently revitalized in the summer of 2023, Blue Spruce Cabin seamlessly blends modern comforts with the timeless allure of its past. The sprawling wrap-around, covered porch beckons you to unwind in a haven of tranquility on lazy afternoons. Step inside, and the great room welcomes you with the unmistakable charm of mountain living. The seating area features contemporary, yet cozy furnishings set against a backdrop of tongue and groove ceilings and a gas fireplace. Flowing seamlessly, the dining area offers intimate seating for five, with an additional three seats at the bar space for those who may need to attend to work while surrounded by nature's beauty.

The kitchen has undergone a complete transformation, now boasting new cabinets, a solid surface countertop, a deep farmhouse sink, and state-of-the-art stainless-steel appliances—a culinary haven that caters to your every need.

Blue Spruce Cabin's main level houses two thoughtfully designed bedrooms. One, with a charming tongue and groove ceiling, cradles a queen bed in a cozy corner, while the custom-built bunk bedroom by the stairs offers a unique river-view experience. Completing this level is a full bathroom with convenient laundry facilities.

Ascend to the upper level, dedicated entirely to the primary bedroom. Here, a sumptuous king bed awaits, accompanied by a brand-new en-suite three-quarter bathroom for added comfort.

Despite its peaceful seclusion, a brief journey to the heart of downtown Estes Park awaits those seeking a taste of local delights. Indulge in ice cream cones, savor a refreshing beer, and explore the wealth of inviting shops and diverse restaurants that make up the vibrant tapestry of this charming mountain town. At Blue Spruce Cabin, history meets modern luxury, providing an idyllic retreat for those seeking an unforgettable escape in nature's embrace.

Cabin was beautiful inside and out. Would have liked to have known it's surroundings better as in it's location relative to other homes/cabins. The pictures didn't really relay that.

The cabin was perfect. Very clean and comfortable. The fire place had so many rules and instructions that we never lit it which was an bummer. And location was good. Not really totally secluded as it made it seem but still a great area by the river. We did not go to Rocky Mountain National Park.

Loved the cabin and views of the river. Cabin is historic and not much to look at outside. Inside is quite nice. Kitchen is nicely updated but we were not sure the dishwasher was working when we turned it on as we left. We were not able to use the fireplace because a special tool was required and not present. No information was provided. Host does not take messages on the weekend. There was an option to contact after hours property management company but I decided against it.I was using a walker and wheelchair which limited my ability to go to the second floor. 14 steps to go up there. I could get into all rooms on main floor with narrow wheelchair. Getting into the house took some effort with walker but was ok using shorter steps in front.Great location outside Estes and Rocky. Not far to either.

Beautiful

Cabin was very clean & beautiful spot. The only thing I would say is the downstairs toilet had problem twice with clogging up (with #1) & there was no plunger, so we bought one at Dollar General & left it there.
