Machin's Cottages in the Pines — Estes Park, Colorado
Few places in Estes Park put you closer to the wild heart of Rocky Mountain National Park than Machin's Cottages in the Pines. Nestled on Eagle Cliff Mountain, this collection of 17 rustic cottages sits directly beside the national park boundary — and you can walk straight in. A National Park trail sign on the north edge of the property marks the path to Moraine Park and Beaver Meadows, two of RMNP's most popular destinations, where the broader trail network opens up in every direction. No timed entry permit required, no driving to a trailhead, no gates to deal with. The cottages are just yards away from the whole reason you are visiting Estes Park, CO.

That proximity to Rocky Mountain National Park does more than open up world-class hiking — it provides a natural path for wildlife to wander onto the property. Elk, mule deer, hummingbirds, chipmunks, and the occasional bear are frequent visitors.
The cottages range from one to four bedrooms and carry the honest charm of mountain cabins built by the Machin family over the years — many between 50 and 80 years old. Each comes fully equipped with a kitchen, outdoor grill, and patio or porch. The property spreads across 8.3 wooded acres, quiet and private, yet just 12 minutes from downtown Estes Park.

If your idea of a perfect mountain vacation is a quiet, serene setting where you can take a short walk into Rocky Mountain National Park at any time, Machin's Cottages is your place.
