About Richard S Hewson

I am the owner/builder of the home. I designed this home to meet all of the needs that I found important while living in Estes Park over 24 years.

Richard S Hewson purchased this cabin in 2006
Why Richard S Hewson chose Estes Park

I loved this lot and place that it resides. Living in Estes Park can be very beautiful,however, because of the wind, it can turn into something very different, very fast. I chose this property because of the three factors, wind, water and fire.

The home is built in a protected area just off of Fish Creek, about 2.6 miles south of Estes Park. The house is protected from the violent wind storms that sometimes hit the mountainous area. While other areas of Estes will see up to 50 mile per hour gusts, my home rarely feels any of this.

Water is always a treat. With moderate snow in winter and spring, Fish Creek will run all year long. This cute little creek runs right through the property and attracts all types of wildlife such as deer, elk, moose, bear, bobcat, beaver, and racoons.

As per fire, again, because of my low setting, the house is protected from common mountain fires that will make their way up and over my property.

What makes this cabin unique

Again, the house is located in a very protected spot. I have spent many days suntanning on my front porch December through March just because of the protection I get from my trees and surroundings. You will find the creek, hot tub, fire pit, bbq grill, porch swing, bikes, fishing poles and Rocky Mountain fresh air all to be special gifts that will make your stay a paradise for romance and family fun.

The log home was built in 2006. It is nestled at the bottom of the Fish Creek Valley which protects it from the wind during harsh months of cold and blowing snow. The cabin sits right above Fish Creek which flows year round through the property. The home faces south with excellent exposure to the sun. The rap around pourch and windows face the south as well, giving you a tranquil view of Twin Sisters mountain, aspens and pines.

There is a fire pit and hot tub located on the ground level of the property. Lighting in the trees and around the tub provide a wonderful night of relaxation with peace and quiet.

The log home is located in Larimer County. Access to the golf course 1 mile north, Public Pool 2 miles north , downtown Estes 3 miles north, Lake Estes Marina 2.5 miles north and RMNP 7 miles NW are some of the more popular spots to visitors. Winter months provide beautiful 2 or 3 day get aways with a roaring fire and hot cup of coffee. Check out our winter rates for the off season

Nice Home - Bad Management

2 of 5
Submitted: December 17, 2008 Stayed: October 2008
This house is advertised with a hot tub. There was a tub on site but the mechanical panel was off and was not in working condition. The house itself was nice with the exception it was not properly cleaned prior to our arrival. We even questioned if it had been cleaned at all. There was a note from housekeeper for people staying a prior to us. The kitchen had food and fingerprints all over the countertops and appliances. There was sticky food on the couch. The masterbed was made but there were hairs in the bed. We cleaned the house and changed bedding ourselves. A mirror fell during the night, had been hung with a very small nail, we cleaned that too. The house was undusted and the yard had food and beer cans strewn around, looked like there had been a party. The owners were notified when we returned and I was told I should have called while we were out there...why, when the hot tub could not be refilled, heated and have chemicals adjusted in the three days we were visiting. I ask for some reimbursement for the lack of a hot tub but never had a reply from the owners. I had even discussed the tub with the owner before booking and she mentioned maybe it would snow and be fun for us. Well it snowed plenty and would have been nice had we had a working tub. I understand owners have to rely on housekeepers to clean and we took care of that issue and did not ask for compensation, but when a property is advertised with certain amenities and they are not available a discount is expected and should be offered. We have only had positive experiences in the 20 years we have be coming to Estes Park prior to this one. We visit 3-4 times a year but would not rent from these owners again.
Owner's Response: The cleaner at that time has been fired. We had no idea the house was in this order until the renters arrived and called us. Regarding the mirror, in the two years we lived in the home we had that mirror hanging there on the same nail and not once did it ever fall. The nail was secured in an eight inch log.
Regarding the hot tub, we have hired a professional company to maintain the tub and all chemicals, electrical fixtures and cleaning. Once again this was the first time that our house was out of order.
Of all the renters we have had this has been the ONLY bad experience, only because we were not notified until this renter had arrived. We deducted the cleaning bill from their total and did not charge them and this was done at my will and not being asked by the renter to deduct it.
We have renters who are more than willing to give you their review of our home which has been outstanding.

Six of my girlfriend's and I (2 from Reno, 5 from Nebraska) made this cabin our weekend getaway to celebrate our friend's 40th Birthday. The drive through the mountains was beautiful, the cabin was gorgeous and very easy to find. We were greeted our first morning there by Elk grazing in the front yard. We spent our first day downtown Estes...shopping, winery, brewery...all of which was a short drive from the cabin. We only ate one meal out and ate all our other meals in. This cabin has all the amenities and comforts of home. It was very clean, very well kept and maintained. I look forward to bringing my family back for the Estes Park experience.

this house is amazing! The only issue the hot tub gets a little hot because the lids left on. We had Elk enter the yard, that was a blast. The owners are great too. I would definitely go back to that home.

We thoroughly enjoyed the lodge and our family had a wonderful time. All the amenities that you could ask for were available. The views were amazing and there was plenty of space for all of us (6 adults, 1 child). The kitchen is open which gave us great family time between the living, dining and cooking. The hot tub was relaxing and the location was close to everything. We would definitely stay again!
