Riverside -Raymond

the river is calling...i must go 

2 hours north of Denver | 30 miles from Boulder |  15 miles from Lyons

 25  miles from Estes Park & entrance to RMNP 

3 miles from Rocky Mountain National Park at Wild Basin 

Riverside / Raymond @ elevation 7,800 ft.

​

Six miles from Allenspark, River Rest Mountain Cottage

is located in the inviting mountain neighborhood of Raymond Colorado,  which rolls along the

Middle St. Vrain River and is a collection of unique cabins, cottages, pine and aspen.  

​

Because of our altitude, we always recommend spending at least 1 night in lower near by elevation

to get acclimated.  Read here for more

information about altitude sickness. 

There are residents who live here year round as well as seasonal cabins.  There is a small store "in town"...hours and offerings vary...perhaps a good spot to grab a cold pop as you head out for the day.  

You'll see people strolling with their dogs

or riding their bikes along the residential street.  

The cabin property is an un-fenced riverside acre butting up to Roosevelt National Forest.  Remember there is no cell service in this area nor any marked trails in the forest, so if you explore that direction be sure to check the weather first, tell someone where you are

going and dress / pack accordingly.  

​

From the cabin, you can see neighbors to the north, 

a few seasonal log cabins...and you cannot see the neighbors to the south.  

​

Fishing, catch and release,  is possible here with a license.   

Not far, you can still Go Explore so much more! 

​

Peak time of year to view the change of leaves in the fall is 
mid-September, don't miss it! 

​

Late Fall - Winter- early Spring, River Rest Mountain Cottage closes it's doors for the season...open again 

Memorial Day weekend through mid October.
