Former Model Home on the Big Thompson River, AC, 1mi to EP & 2mi to RMNP/fishing

Beautiful home in a perfect location. Would and will return in a heartbeat!

This property was amazing! The hosts were outstanding in every way. Best communications we’ve ever had with a host. The home was immaculate, well furnished, and exceeded our expectations!

Beautiful and perfectly-maintained cabin, welcoming hosts, awesome amenities and stunning views of the Big Thompson from the grand windows, amazing upper deck and lower level patio! January 2026 online pictures were recent and a perfect representation of what you can expect of the property.

If there is a perfect place to stay...this is as close as it could possibly be. Beautiful home, well equipped, very clean. We couldn't have been more happy with both the house and location. Sue (the property manager) was extremely easy to work with as well. She reached out to check if everything was okay, and made the whole process delightful. We couldn't be more happy with this stay!

We absolutely love this house. Close to downtown, close to the national park. There is always wildlife around and the location right on the river is ideal!

This was such a wonderful home. The host was so helpful, and the house was beautiful and in a perfect location. We can’t wait to come back!

Everything was top notch!

Truly a perfect stay! The view is insane. Bull elk below the window in the morning. Super clean and perfect for our family of 5!

We love this house so much! It is so close to RMNP as well as downtown. The house is clean and well stocked and the setting on the river is ideal

This is the ideal mountain home. When you walk in and see the river, right outside the back deck, it is mesmerizing. We could not think of one negative about Riverbend Lodge. Beautifully decorated and all the comforts of home, in a great mountain setting. We will definitely be back next year.

Love this home! Everything about the listing is accurate and the hosts were amazing. You will not find a better location or property in Estes Park.

Well stocked kitchen and wonderful being by the river

Lovely home located on Big Thompson River.Home is well stocked. Kitchen has any and all appliances needed. Furniture is comfortable. Neighborhood is quiet-we saw several elk in front of the home. Sue, the property manager, was communicative and wonderful. She told us about the country market near us which is a gem. Wonderful time in Estes Park.

This home was perfect for an extended family vacation. It sits on a beautiful stretch of the river and has plenty of room for sitting in the patio, family dinners, and spreading out inside. The managers are exceptionally helpful and communicative. The walking path along the river is the icing on the cake. Such a wonderful home!

This property is absolutely everything you see. It is a fantastic location with a beautiful view. We will be back to stay at length. We love this house!! *****

Our stay was perfect, kitchen had everything we needed and the house was immaculate, the view next to the river was calming. The host answered any question immediately. We will definitely stay here again.

Cabin was very clean, and excellently maintained. Sue was so helpful and easy to work with. Great location by the river and beautiful view.

This home is beautifully furnished and is well equipped with everything you might need. The furniture and beds are very comfortable, and the view along the stream is lovely.The check in and communication were seamless. We absolutely loved it, and we plan to return next winter.

The property is perfectly located between downtown and RMNP! It’s also just a short walk to Coffee on the Rocks, which has nice coffee, breakfasts, and lunches.It’s a very cozy and clean, well decorated cabin. We saw deer several times on the river too!Sue was perfect to deal with—super responsive and helpful! Highly recommend this place, especially with children as you can keep them downstairs;)

This property is amazing! Absolutely beautiful views. It had everything we needed to be comfortable and then some. There was space to spread out but also all hang out together. The manager was really responsive and wonderful to work with. We would definitely stay here again!

Great week in Estes Park.

This was my very favorite VRBO we have ever stayed in. Exceptionally clean, perfect location, well stocked kitchen. We had Thanksgiving here and had everything you could ever need. It is tough to beat sitting in the great room with a cup of coffee while elk and deer run around the river. We will definitely be back and would recommend it to anyone!

We cannot say enough good things about this property and how well it is managed. This was our third stay and we hope to visit again.

This was our second time staying at this property and we can’t wait to come back. The house itself it great, and the location can’t be beat. A short drive to town and RMNP, and we loved walking down the river path to feed the ducks at the rock shop each evening. There is so much to do close to the house, but we also love sitting on the patio and watching the river and nature around. The host has so many helpful suggestions as well!

Lovely area; just right with a toddler to walk through the woods by the river to the duck pond. Toys were a very welcome addition in the house and the lower floor was a particularly safe environment for children. Thank you.

We loved this cabin! The location is incredible. The house is spacious and clean and has everything you’d need. The hosts are friendly and helpful. We’d love to come back soon!

My family stayed 5 nights at River Bend. The house was perfect when we arrived and had everything we needed for an extended stay. We sat on the back porch in the evenings and watched the elk and mule deer wander through the neighborhood. This is a great house in a great location.

My sister and I spent 6 nights at this magnificent house, and it wasn’t enough. Super clean and comfortable, spacious, right on the river, fully-supplied kitchen, convenient to the Park and town (I could go on). The views and grounds are absolutely stunning. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and can’t wait to go back. Hosts Sue and Mark were nothing short of gracious, accommodating and friendly. We highly recommend this property for a memorable vacation. Thanks Sue & Mark!

The property is situated on a river. The large windows provide an amazing view. Wildlife grazed near the river's edge every day. Sue did a terrific job making sure the property was clean and ready for our arrival. This was easily the best house we have ever rented.

Beautiful facility, very helpful host. Right on the river!!!!!!! Practical and comfortable lodging. Absolutely spectacular backdrop on the river. Well set up kitchen and rooms. (Bring shampoo!!!). Outdoor deck and barbeque were an appreciated adjunct to the trip. We cooked a lot and found the kitchen very useful and well appointed w appliances and cooking utensils. Tv had plenty of apps and was easy to cast to. The host was very nice and readily available. I was very appreciative for their ready help any time I had a question! (This was my very first VRBO!!!) And did I mention, right on the river!!!!!! Loved sitting out on the deck watching the river flow!

My family of 4 spent 6 nights at this property for our vacation. The property is well maintained, clean and thoughtfully appointed. The location is very convenient to both town and the park. It is exactly as advertised. We were very comfortable and will definitely plan to return again.
