The YMCA of the Rockies Estes Park Center is located 10 minutes southwest of downtown Estes Park, Colorado. Activities on the property include hiking, horseback riding, nordic walking, birding, fishing, mountain biking, and rock climbing. Cell phone service is really weak while on the property. In addition to their Estes Park property, YMCA of the Rockies has locations in Winter Park, Colorado and Granby, Colorado. The following map highlights the Estes Park check-in building, our three bedroom cabin (Magic Pines), our two bedroom cabin (Cedar Pines), and the on-site trailhead that provides access to hiking in Moraine Park.

Staying the night at a YMCA of the Rockies cabin provides an awesome opportunity to explore and enjoy Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park without having to make a single day, round trip drive from Fort Collins, Boulder, or Denver.
On our first visit, we stayed a in three bedroom, two bath cabin with a fireplace. It included five single beds and one two person bed.
In addition, it included a stove, refrigerator, microwave, oven, kitchen utensils, plates, bowls, hand towels, wine glasses, pots, pans, coffee maker, drinkable tap water, made-up beds with pillows, firewood, trail guide books, and furniture (indoors and outdoors). Items not included that you to bring include shampoo, coffee, paper towels, food, and beverages.
Dogs are allowed in the cabins but not in their vacation homes. We had a 19 month old and a 3 1/2 year old and both did great in the cabin and, thus, they make for a great outdoor adventure for kids. What is more, our cabin had a game closet that included playing cards and puzzles.
The three bedroom cabins are nicely spaced out while the two bedroom cabins appear to be closer together. The subsequent pictures highlight the exterior, interior, and scenic views from the Magic Pines cabin property. Not seen in the pictures are mule deer, birds, and other wildlife that roam the property.

On a subsequent visit, we stayed in a two bedroom, single bath cabin named “Cedar Pines” and seen in the following picture. We found the picnic table on the deck to be a serene place to have dinner.
All of the amenities and features were the same as a three bedroom except that the common room was smaller.
The master bedroom had a queen size bed and the second bedroom had two sets of bunk beds. Thus, the two bedroom cabin is suitable for one pair of adults and four kids.
We were lucky enough to see an Elk walk right by our cabin.
In addition, we had hummingbirds frequenting the cabin’s feeder.
