Fish directly in front of your cabin.

Spend your days exploring the wonders of Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park, then return home to the perfect basecamp for all your outdoor adventures.After a full day of hiking, wildlife spotting, or downtown strolling, soak in your private hot tub, cook a fantastic meal in the fully stocked kitchen, or relax by the fire pit as you overlook the flowing river just steps from your door. Welcome to North Star.

Slow down, unplug, and reconnect with your loved ones through the simple pleasures of the outdoors—just as generations before once did.

This beautifully updated modern rustic cabin features a master bedroom with a queen bed and a pull-out sofa, comfortably sleeping up to four guests. Enjoy your own private hot tub in front of the cabin, a fire pit, and breathtaking views of scenic water and nature, towering pine trees, and local wildlife.

Spend your time fishing right outside your door, firing up the grill, throwing darts, or challenging your favorite people to a friendly game of cornhole on the grounds. The cabin includes internet, Roku TV for streaming, a Keurig coffee maker, and a fully stocked kitchen—everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay.

For larger groups or multi-family trips, North Star can be combined with Sunshine for an ideal shared getaway.

    The cabin was clean and cozy and the perfect temperature. We did not try out the hot tub due to time constraints. The only issue was that the front door didn’t lock.

    Very disappointed with the description on the VRBO site as it wasn’t accurate. We thought we had a cabin with river views. But we had a view of the highway. Hot tub was described as river side also and it was practically on the highway with vehicles going by. Cleanliness of the cabin was awful. Dirty carpets, exhaust fans and furnace vents full of dust. Bathroom sink would not drain. Shower curtain and towel bars in disrepair. Outdoor grill was dirty. Front screen door was broken. About the only good thing good about the cabin was the location. Close to the entrance of the park and to downtown Estes.

    The cabin was beautiful! It was exactly what I was hoping for, a relaxing week next to the sound of the river and reading a good book. Thank you for a wonderful week!

    The Northstar cabin is conveniently located between town and RMNP entrances. Shops and restaurants short drive away. Enjoyed the riverside firepit, the hot tub was not riverside, but private. Cozy electric fireplace, comfortable bed and nicely equipped kitchen.

    We had a fabulous stay! I’ll start by saying the 4 star rating (and not 5) on cleanliness is because the renters before us cooked corn in the oven and left it there and the cleaning service didn’t check the oven so we had to trash the old food and clean the oven and pans to cook dinner. The hot tub and fire pit were great and you can’t beat the location right on the river where we enjoyed morning coffee. Recommend brining ear plugs especially if you think you’ll keep the windows open. The cabins are close to the road so it’s very easy to hear cars and the cabins are close to each other so if your neighbors are on the louder side it may be hard to sleep. The bed and the large pull out sofa were comfy. I’d say it comfortably accommodates 2-3 adults (4 adults are tight) only because there is 1 bathroom that you have to walk through the bedroom to get to. So folks should be comfortable with that set up if intending to use the pull out sofa. I would absolutely stay here again and plan to!
