*** THANKS FOR READING! ***
Perched at the top of a small hill, this mountain cabin offers front-row seats to Colorado`s natural theater, where elk and deer regularly perform in the meadow just beyond your front porch.
The vaulted windows frame Longs Peak Cirque and Lily Mountain like living artwork, while Lumpy Ridge dominates the view from the upstairs deck.
Located in the peaceful Solitude Cabins community, you`re just 4 minutes from downtown Estes Park`s shops and restaurants, yet tucked away enough to enjoy true mountain tranquility.

The property is managed by the team of locals with Solitude Rentals, a Wolf Rentals brand. Reach out if you need anything!
The Solitude HOA is a quiet neighborhood of vacation cabins near Lake Estes, just a few minutes from downtown Estes Park. This is a peaceful, family-friendly resort community. It encompasses 45 standalone cabins, a main lodge with 7 hotel-style rooms, and a meeting space/gathering area. The grounds cover 9 acres and back up to wild forest to the east, so wildlife frequent the neihgborhood. Lake Estes has a great walking path around it and is about a 5-10 minute walk from the property. Solitude is only a few minutes by car to downtown Estes Park.
You will need a car to really enjoy your time in Estes Park, though the town`s free summer shuttle does have a stop in the Solitude neighborhood. That shuttle runs from July to September and will take you to downtown, and from there you can take other shuttles around the Estes Valley.
NO SMOKING, NO FIRES
This home was a few miles away from one of the largest forest fires in Colorado history a few years ago. This is now a strict no-smoking property. No smoking inside, outside, and no outdoor fire pits (now illegal in Estes Park`s vacation homes). Charcoal BBQs are banned. Gas is OK.
ROAD CONDITIONS
Estes has a great plow team and our parking area will also be plowed during storms, but if there`s a huge blizzard, they may not be plowed exactly when you need them to be. We cannot assist if you get stuck and we always recommend that people rent AWD or 4WD when visiting us from October to May. We are at 8,000 feet and this can be a snowy area!
GUEST COUNT
6 people max.
BEARS
Do NOT leave food in your car! Bears frequent this area often and can break in!
A/C
Like nearly all homes in Estes Park, there is no air conditioning. Evening breezes coming off the mountains cool the home quickly.
