Cabin holiday rentals in Carter Lake Reservoir

This delightful cabin was just magical! It was the perfect location, we were able to walk to “downtown Estes”, walk to get coffee in the morning with the pups, the pups love this huge backyard, it was just a perfect and beautiful day! Saw lots of wildlife, had a ton of fun! And Oakley couldn’t be faster and more efficient with my questions! Do not hesitate to rent this cabin! I have stayed in Estes many times and this to me was my favorite, there’s something so nice about having a larger cabin than a smaller one! And being able to soak in the hot tub in the morning in the evenings was just divine! And a fun kitchen to cook in! Thank you!!

We had a great stay at Rannveig’s cabin! It was exactly as described and very comfortable. It had the charm of an old cabin but with the modern touches to feel current and comfortable. The hot tub was a nice touch and it was beautiful to stargaze out there at night! We also really enjoyed sitting out on the sun porch and watching the elk stroll by! I will also mention that this place was more affordable than a lot of other available options so it was a great value for the price! Would definitely stay again and recommend!

We were very comfortable and loved being in the mountains. Breakfast out on the deck with the local dog to come visit was great, we didn't miss ours as much. When we come back to Colorado, we would probably pick Tami's place, we felt like we were at home. Thanks for making our vacation a special, relaxing time! Karen and Zachary

We had a wonderful stay. Hot tub was great and the local places Pamala recommended were all very good! Highly recommend booking if you’re still trying to decide

My husband and I loved staying at Jessica’s cabin! It was so cozy, well equipped, and beautiful. There was plenty of space and lots of thoughtful touches. It was located peacefully away from Estes Park but still a close drive to both RMNP and Estes Park. Jessica was an amazing host and answered any questions we had quickly. We would love to come back!

Lauren’s place was a perfect escape from the normal chaos of life! The perfect get away for anyone looking to just get out in the mountains! Best way to enjoy a perfect night under the stars was to be in the nice warm hot tub or next to the perfect little fire pit! 10 out of 10 will go again! Thank you so much for a wonderful time!

This cabin exceeded all expectations. Upon arrival, we were welcomed by an impeccably clean space, thoughtfully stocked with numerous amenities including a full set of dishes, an iron, makeup wipes, soap, shampoo, and conditioner. The view was truly exceptional—we were delighted to wake up each morning to elk grazing just outside, along with sightings of other wildlife. The setting was remarkably peaceful, free from the noise of traffic or loud music. Its proximity to the Stanley Hotel and downtown ensured easy access to dining options and local attractions. The host was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, contributing greatly to the overall positive experience.

We booked this cozy little cabin for our honey moon and it was absolutely perfect! When we arrived we met the host Tom who is very personable and kind, he helped us get settled in and offered some great recommendations in the area! When I walked into the cabin I was absolutely enamored with all the thoughtful little details throughout, it was very clean and we felt at home right away! Outside of the cabin there’s a porch swing. perfect for relaxing, painting, great place to smoke, and you get a PERFECT view of the mountains. The property is filled with so much wildlife - magpies, hummingbirds, mule dear, prairie dogs. The hot tub was so relaxing and a great place to relax and look at the sky! There were even two very cozy complementary robes for us to wear and we stayed snuggled up all week :) If you love nature and you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing trip with fast access to Estes park and the comfort of great hosts this is the place!!

A stay at Anne's is like stepping back through different layers of time. The house itself is old, a true authentic miner's mountain cabin! It felt like a stay at Grandma's - cozy, quiet, and antique - yet with modern amenities. A fully equipped kitchen for those seeking to cook. Most of our time was spent either outside in the beautiful and peaceful yard by the creek, or inside on the window bench seat. The bed was very comfortable too! We had two dogs with us, and they enjoyed it also. We tried out the hike nearby and it was perfect with how close it is to the cabin. To get a full understanding of what you are renting you should recognize this is not a commercial sanitized rental operated by a company! This is truly like staying at a grandparents cabin, with it's own quirks and charm. The previous reviews all do a good job describing the area and the house - windy roads, cyclists, nature, and all else that comes with a trip to the mountains of Boulder. We loved our stay!

This cabin was the highlight of our Colorado vacation. It felt like we had a piece of the mountain to ourselves and enjoyed exploring the area. The river and bridges on the property were amazing, and we loved the views from the hot tub. Everything was very clean and comfortable. After we checked out, we spent a few nights in Estes Park at the Rocky Mountains National Park, but that couldn’t compare to our stay in this cabin! This location was everything we wanted and more. If you’re planning a Colorado trip you should absolutely stay here, it was better than the RMNP, and that’s saying a lot! My family would absolutely love to return to this cabin on a future trip. Alexandra was awesome too. Very responsive and flexible, offering early check in and late check out options, as well as recommending things to do in the area. Overall, this was a wonderful stay, 10/10 would recommend and 5 stars from the whole family! Don’t miss out on this hidden gem in Colorado!!!

Yvonne was an amazing host! Yes she had a few rules but trust me they are in place for a reason! Cabin was so cozy and clean. We would stay again 100%.

We loved how secluded it was and how beautiful everything was laid out. The scenery was everything to us. We were welcomed with snow all the week we stayed, it was clean and honestly the best place we stayed in!

Allison was very helpful with her instructions. Beautiful rustic cabin. Much bigger than we imagined. Very private property with humming birds and chipmunks to entertain us. Also short drive from Nederland where we could shop and dine. We would definitely return if we were in the area.

We had a great stay at Wendy's place. The house was cozy and conveniently located close to town.

Great tiny cabin for one or two people! It was small and adorable and location was great! Close to an awesome coffee shop and cafes. Right by RMNP. Bathroom would be difficult to deal with if you are not a small person. Lots of wildlife and elk right out side my door! Loved my stay!

Joe & Rosie's cabin is a wonderful mountain get-away! The view is beautiful and very peaceful. They have a nice balcony overlooking the mountains. Kitchen is well stocked with tools needed for cooking.

This gorgeous cabin was an amazing retreat for a short weekend with the gals. We felt right at home and had our own spaces for privacy and great common areas. The house had everything we needed and beautiful cabin decor touches. We didn’t want to leave and will most definitely return.

David was an extremely gracious host and he has a lovely property nestled in a mountain valley. There are lakes, wildlife, beautiful walks around the private and secluded neighborhood. It was an incredibly relaxing and enjoyable stay. Thank you so much, David! We will certainly stay at your home again next time we vacation in Colorado!

Our stay at this Airbnb was exactly what we were looking for—peaceful, picturesque, and relaxing. We were surprised by the large outdoor space available to explore, and the teepee was a great extra touch. The host provided useful suggestions on places to visit, and the steam shower was a huge plus. Overall, a great experience, and we’d definitely come back. In the binder, there were suggestions for horseback riding, hiking, and white water rafting that we weren’t able to get around to, but are great excuses to come back.

From start to finish this was an amazing find. Heidi was responsive and the cabin was pristine. The views are phenomenal with the St. Vrain River, the rustic location, without being too far out, and the amenities were spectacular. I took my husband up for a relaxing get away, and that is just what we got. The people in Lyons are super friendly; the town has everything you need (it's a bit pricey...but hey you're on vacation). BTW, be sure and stop and Smokin' Daves BBQ...great prices and the best food ever! All in all, it was just what the doctor ordered. We came back refreshed and ready (sort of) for the week.

This is an amazing and affordable place for a mountain-loving couple to get away! It's clean and comfortable with a fully stocked kitchen. The deck was a perfect place to sit and take in the soothing sounds of Silver Creek, the views of snow-capped mountains in the distance and the occasional deer grazing in front of the cabin. We recommend Tommyknocker's Brewery and the Mountain Exchange thrift store (both in Idaho Springs). The hike to St Mary's Lake is short but steep (1 mile from the cabin to the lake), and you can simply walk from the cabin to the trailhead, then up to the lake. If you're into hiking, you can take a 50 minute drive to Chief Mountain Trailhead, and get amazing 360 views from 11,710 feet for relatively little effort. It took us 2.5 hours to finish the 3 mile out-and-back trail. If you like scenic drives, take the drive up 119 to Nederland and on to Estes Park. Pro tip: take hwy 6 at the Golden exit to 119, it's more scenic off the start than the Central City Pkwy.

It’s simple, just choose this home for your stay. It was comfortable from the moment we arrived. Which on this trip was of great importance for us. The house is thoughtfully put together. The kitchen was more than fully equipped. The views on the drive up were awesome including herds of deer and turkeys greeted us as we pulled in the driveway.

Loved this place. Very Beautiful property and Views. Very modern and Cute Design. She had everything needed for a pleasant home like feel. Communication was Great.

Convenient and peaceful location! The cabin suited our families needs beautifully. We lived in the Lyons area for many years prior to moving to Michigan so it was nice to stay in such an awesome location for my son’s CU Boulder graduation🎉 I would not hesitate to return for another stay and I highly recommend this Airbnb!
