Welcome to mountain time.
A cabin that gets the balance right.
Originally built in 1961 and fully renovated, this midcentury home sits quietly above Little Deer Lake at the end of the road in Big Elk Meadows. The setting is rare. The design is intentional. The feeling is immediate.
Warm wood, clean lines, and just enough space—inside and out. As the seller says, “The only sounds are wind in the trees and birds singing.”
Built to slow you down—in the best way.
The main living space delivers what most cabins only promise... true openness, with room for your closest friends. There’s space here for a full sectional, statement lighting, and a dining table that actually fits. Vaulted beamed ceilings and wide-plank floors keep the midcentury character intact, while crisp white paneled walls and smart built-ins add a modern edge.
The primary bedroom is generous, with space for a pair of lounge chairs, extra storage, and sunlight in all the right places. The second bedroom punches above its weight: a built-in desk, reading nook, and a clever pullout king-sized bed for your guests.
Flexible, intentional, and better than expected.
Where less truly feels like more.
A cabin kitchen that stuns
You don’t expect this in a cabin: open, expansive, and ready to inspire. The kitchen blends modern function with just the right touch of artistry... clean-lined cabinetry in warm wood tones, floating shelves in place of upper cabinets, and soft tile textures that feel hand-selected.
It’s the kind of kitchen that makes you want to linger whether you're cooking something simple on the gas range or gathering around the island with friends, drinks, and whatever’s in season.

Step out the front door and the lake is right there. Canoe, sit, watch the light shift. The water, the wildlife, the wildflowers—it all changes with the seasons and never gets old.
Two decks. One for morning sun, one for stars. Space to grill, to gather, or just enjoy the views. Swallows, moose, herons, sky.
It’s not landscaped. It’s not styled. It’s just nature... out your door and yours to enjoy.
Outside is where it gets even better.
A mountain neighborhood like no other.
Private lakes. Forest access. Room to roam. This isn’t a resort. It just feels like one. With five lakes, a pool, tennis and pickleball courts, a horse pasture, and even a hunting area, Big Elk Meadows offers rare amenities in a location that’s genuinely off the radar.
You’re not in a subdivision. You’re in the mountains—with national forest on every side and a quietness that’s hard to find anymore.
And while it feels far out, you’re 30 minutes from downtown Lyons and 35 to Estes Park. Just close enough. Just wild enough.
