This Mountain Life consists of three extraordinary mountain guesthouses. All are a 2 minute walk to downtown Estes and a 2 mile drive to Rocky Mountain National Park. All have been restored to perfection.
REDEMPTION CABIN is the frontiers mountainside log cabin (#1, Circa 1914)
EXPLORATION CABIN is the craftsman riverside cottage (#2, Circa 1928)
REFLECTION CABIN is the minimalist fireside studio (#3, Circa 1936).
All have been restored with thoughtful historical elegance. Each has a unique personality, character and idiosyncratic charm. Each share This Mountain Life values and are excellent in every detail. All are listed on VRBO.

Each guesthouse is designed for special occasions and celebrations, active go-getting walkers-hikers-climbers-mountaineers, bikers, urban explorers-festival goers, and serious professionals on reflective sabbatical or temporary remote learning-working.

Cabins are immaculate, eco-friendly, and smoke-free. Guests are expected to return their guesthouse on departure like they found it on arrival.

Rick and Cheryl will take good care of you. They are trustworthy super hosts and very knowledgable local guides. See ThisMountain.Life for more of the story. Experience a dream vacation home you’ll always remember.

WHAT'S INCLUDED: The Cabin is fully stocked for your vacation needs. We provide pantry supplies, kitchen condiments, teas and coffee, towels & linens, and first class finishes throughout. We also share our collection of navigational maps, hiking guides and adventure books, grill, and top area picks when requested. Some fly fishing gear and “townie” bikes may be available; ask if you’re interested. Some items require reasonable advanced notice.

MORE ON THE AREA: Redemption Cabin is in a picture perfect natural setting. Bright sunny mornings, moonlit evenings. The cabin is sheltered under the crags and cliffs of Little Prospect Mountain just upstream of the convergence of two snow-fed mountain rivers. Redemption is on the east side the Big Thompson River as it enters historic downtown to meet Fall River. An open treed riverbank is just across a narrow street. The road is used by pedestrians, bikers, horse carriages, motor vehicles, and buses; and the river is used by fishermen by fly and lure, (and when at peak flow) tube, and kayak.

IDEAL WALKABLE LOCATION: At This Mountain Life, you get a great walkable location. Getting to Historic Downtown is a simple downstream stroll along a cabin filled lane. There you will find the best of Estes Park's local attractions, festivals, restaurants, coffee houses, wineries, craft beer breweries, retail shopping, green parks, outdoor concerts, riverwalks, hiking paths, and other exciting places to be active or quiet. The Historic Clatworthy Studio, and Eagles Landing Restaurant are upstream to our immediate South. Piccadilly Square, Rock Cut Tap House, Estes Angler, Hunan’s Chinese Restaurant, Day Salon, Fun City, Sweet Basilico Italian Restaurant, Rock Climbing School, Estes Park Microbrewery, and Open Air Adventure Park are a short walk around the river's bend. Entrance into Rocky Mountain National Park, its wilderness, alpine lakes, trails and spectacular scenery is just a 2 mile drive west.

A few reminders for 2024 Summer guests …
Make sure to get your RMNP Timed Entry permits for access the park between 9am - 2pm. For more info, go to https://www.recreation.gov/timed-entry/10086910.
A a few days before your arrival date we will be sending you Arrival & Access Instructions that will guide you to your cabin and help you to get settled in.

Eclectic Cabin
The cabin was well maintained and our hosts went out of their way to help my wife and I celebrate our anniversary. The decor definitely speaks “mountain life”. Located right across the street from the serenity of the running river. They even have a little sitting area there for your enjoyment. You can walk to breweries, restaurants, and downtown Estes if you choose. Sidewalks are limited so we just chose to drive. We are so thankful for all Rick and Cheryl did. Their hospitality is incredible.

Cozy cabin in a perfect location!
Redemption Cabin is the perfect location, just a few minutes walk from downtown Estes Park stores and restaurants. It’s clean, cozy and comfortable, extremely well-equipped, and was ideal for myself, my husband, and my 15 year old son. Currently (August 2023) there is construction along Riverside Drive, which can be noisy at times, and goes until late (around 10:30pm) on weekdays. However, that is completely outside of the host’s control, and is a temporary issue. Guests may want to be aware that neither of the bedrooms have doors, which didn’t bother our family at all. Cheryl & Rick were kindly flexible on our check-in time when our flight was changed, for which we were very grateful, and it was lovely to be greeted in person by Cheryl upon our arrival. Overall, highly recommend Redemption Cabin as a base for your RMNP adventures!
