This beautifully updated river front cottage offers a perfect blend of modern luxury, natural beauty, and peaceful seclusion. Nestled along a crystal-clear Mid St. Vrain river (not visible from Riverside Drive), it provides a private retreat surrounded by wildlife and scenic views. Though it feels like a remote haven, yet it is an easy drive to Lyons, Boulder, Eldora ski resort, or Estes Park. The cottage is conveniently located near some of Colorado's most sought-after destinations and the short term rental history (memorialized by Boulder County it is grandfathered as an STR and does NOT need a rental license) is strong. The recently renovated cottage, with its sleek design inspired by *Dwell* magazine, combines contemporary style with the cozy warmth of natural wood. The open floor plan is filled with natural light from large windows, offering direct views of the private river frontage and abundant wildlife. Every detail reflects a careful balance of cabin- comfort. For those who love both adventure and the great outdoors, Rocky Mountain National Park is just a short drive away, perfect for hiking, wildlife viewing, and outdoor exploration. Whether you want to relax by the river, explore nature, or enjoy the energy of nearby towns, this cottage offers the best of both worlds-peaceful seclusion with easy access to adventure and modern conveniences. The cabin has a new high producing well, is fully insulated, has a Mitsubishi Mini split (provides A/C and heat), a wood burning fireplace and new flooring. Perfect for year-round living or a seasonal escape, it's a place to enjoy Colorado in style. *See adjacent cabin for sale. Would make a nice family compound and investment.

That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
