3 Bedroom Cabin in Drake

If you’re looking to step away from noise, crowds, and daily distractions, this riverfront cabin in Drake,Colorado offers a rare opportunity to truly slow down. Set directly on the Big Thompson River, the property is surrounded by natural beauty and calming river sounds, creating a peaceful read-away retreat that feels far removed from busy tourist areas while remaining just minutes from Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. Guests searching for a quiet getaway, creative time, meaningful rest, or a family-friendly retreat centered on nature rather than schedules will feel immediately at home here.
Inside, the cabin is warm, comfortable, and intentionally low-stimulus. A fireplace anchors the living space and creates a welcoming place for reading, conversation, puzzles, and quiet evenings indoors. The fully equipped kitchen supports unhurried meals and longer stays, making it easy for families, couples, or solo travelers to settle in and spend quality time together. The layout works especially well for guests who value shared experiences and a slower pace. The close proximity to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park allows for easy day trips such as hiking, horseback riding, wildlife viewing, downtown shopping, and winter sledding, without sacrificing the calm of returning to a quiet riverfront setting.
The private deck overlooks the Big Thompson River and is ideal for reading, writing, or simply listening to the water flow by. With private river access, guests can enjoy fly fishing, riverside walks, or quiet observation of nature without leaving the property. This riverfront location naturally encourages slower mornings, time spent outdoors without distraction, and evenings spent unwinding together as the sound of the river sets the pace of the day.
Rocky Mountain National Park, Estes Park, and nearby trails are just a short drive away, offering family-friendly hikes, scenic drives, wildlife sightings, and additional fishing access. Guests can enjoy outdoor adventure at their own pace and return to a calm, uncrowded retreat at the end of the day. This cabin is best suited for guests who appreciate a quiet environment, respectful use of the space, and a nature-focused stay designed for rest, connection, and simplicity.
Spring through fall bring excellent fly fishing conditions, cool mornings by the river, family-friendly hiking, and long afternoons ideal for reading and relaxed outdoor time. Winter offers a peaceful off-season escape with fewer visitors, snow-covered scenery, and cozy days spent indoors by the fireplace, making it especially well suited for reading, writing, and quiet family stays.
For guests looking to work remotely from a peaceful setting, the cabin also offers reliable internet access and a calm, distraction-free environment well suited for working from the mountains. The quiet riverfront location, natural light, and soothing sound of the Big Thompson River create an ideal backdrop for focused work during the day, whether you’re attending virtual meetings, writing, or managing projects. Many guests find they’re able to be productive while enjoying a far more restorative setting than a traditional home or office.
After the workday ends, the transition is effortless. Step away from your screen, spend time on the deck by the river, prepare an unhurried meal, or settle in by the fireplace for a quiet evening of reading and conversation. This balance of productivity and rest makes the cabin especially appealing for longer stays, midweek escapes, or guests who want to combine remote work with the mental reset that comes from being immersed in nature.
Winter weekdays are especially peaceful here, making the cabin an ideal choice for guests who want to work remotely, enjoy fewer visitors in the area, and settle into a quiet rhythm by the river with cozy evenings by the fireplace.

Summary: The cabin was great. being a native to Colorado and having the ability to go to the mountains and get out of the city to a beautiful place was great. The cabin was clean and we all loved the porch over looking the Big Thompson River. My daughter and her friends really loved the cabin and enjoyed to celebrate her 17th Birthday.
