Stayed Mar 30, 2026The Exploration Cabin truly inspired my kids', hubby and my minds and we found ourselves lost in the books, comfortable furniture and felt so pampered by having all the comforts of home away from home. We couldn't have dreamed of a better cabin to stay at while enjoying the Rocky Mountain National Park.The communication with the owners was very quick and clear and they are so very friendly. I would give the whole experience more than 5 starts of I could!

Stayed Sep 13, 2025Amazing cabin in the beautiful Estes Park. The Cabin itself is stunning and perfectly quirky but also a short walk away from all that Estes Park has to offer. Highly recommend!

Stayed Aug 18, 2025My girls described this quaint cabin as a fairytale and I couldn't agree more. Incredibly well-maintained, full of character, and so many small but meaningful touches that make this cabin feel like home away from home. Amazing location, walking distance to town, a bike ride to hiking trails, and natural splendor. We made great memories here, and Rick and Cheryl were AMAZING hosts! Unmatched hospitality and responsiveness. We would absolutely stay again!

Stayed Jul 29, 2025We loved our stay in the Exploration Cabin. It was just what we were looking for: Excellent location, well-appointed, EXTREMELY clean, and felt good to be in. The proximity to everything in Estes was great, as we could walk to everything in town and easily get in and out without having to wait much for traffic. Definitely recommended.

Stayed Apr 29, 2025We took an impromptu trip to Estes Park and were thrilled to book this cabin. The online pics were enticing but when we entered this cabin in person it was beyond our expectations. The attention to detail that Rick & Cheryl took to this cabin are almost museum quality. The map room, the cold storage shadow box, antique books - just phenomenal. The fully functional kitchen was well appointed. Coffee was available, even a couple of Dr Peppers for us Texans. The Big Thompson river is right across the street with a bench to enjoy the scene and sounds. The cabin is easy 5 min walk to the downtown shops and restaurants, and even closer to the Rock Cut Brewing, yet off the main drag so hardly any vehicle traffic. Do yourself a favor and stay here. You can thank me later.

Stayed Oct 1, 2024Our weeklong stay at the exploration cabin in Estes Park was exactly what we wanted— relaxing and beautiful in a unique atmosphere. The hosts were quickly responsive to any questions we had, the check in and check out process was easy and flawless. We love reading books based in the old West and so staying in this thoughtfully appointed cabin was a delightfully unique experience. It gave us a taste of days long ago yet had the amenities necessary for a comfortable stay. Location is near enough downtown to be very accessible, yet with distance enough to be quiet and away from the hubbub. Highly recommended property and hosts!

Stayed Sep 9, 2024My wife and I stayed at Exploration cabin to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. The cabin was clean and cozy. The pictures on the app were accurate. The location is within walking distance to “downtown” Estes Park where all the shops and restaurants are. The host was easy to contact and fast to respond. I would definitely stay there again and highly recommend it.

Stayed Jul 24, 2024I cannot express how absolutely perfect our stay was at This Mountain Life. Our entire family loved the coziness of the cabin, and the location can't be beat. Our hosts were kind, prompt in communicating and addressed all of our questions and needs. We had an excellent experience overall and look forward to returning next summer.

Stayed Jul 20, 2024Our stay in Estes Park was the last stop on a two-week National Parks road trip that took us from Texas to Wyoming to Montana to Colorado. The four-night stay at Exploration Cabin was an excellent end to our trip and a relaxing base camp after a long day of hiking at RMNP. The cabin was just the right size for 4 people, and we enjoyed evening strolls through town. The hosts were so helpful even before our arrival, sending a thoughtful reminder email the day before we needed to book our timed entry for the park based on our arrival date. Honestly, this one detail saved our trip, as I certainly would have missed it. During our stay Cheryl was very responsive with requests or questions. We love Estes and had a wonderful time. Can't wait to come back!
