The hot tub is great, and the balconies overlooking the river are a favorite. ##### Heather Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karla 16 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent accommodations and guest service! Provided texts with all the details we needed to find the driveway, our room access details and responded right away to questions about the amenities. The kitchenette had everything which was wonderful for us to have home cooked breakfast /coffee before early days of hiking. The rooms were cozy and comfortable with fireplace , deck, and lodge themed decorations. Clean and quiet for a restful sleep. Staff was friendly. I will be back when the mountains call again! ##### Karla Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen 26 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great for my husband and me and our grown daughter while in Estes, bc she could use the couch bed pullout.

I loved being able to have a fire going in our room while we listened to the river flowing right off our balcony. Staff was friendly and room was clean! The only things that were a little annoying were the screen on our balcony door was barely intact, lock for the balcony door handle was secured onto a broken door trim, and while the walls were beautifully soundproofed, we could hear every movement from our neighbor above us. ##### Geralyn Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angelique 31 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We enjoyed our stay here very much. The staffs are wonderful. They baked tasty cookies every day. Our room has a large patio with furnitures right next to the Fall River. It’s really soothing listening to the water every day after a hard hike. The lodge is a few minutes drive to downtown Estes Park so it pretty quiet yet convenient for shopping and restaurants. Inside the unit, everything is very clean. Overall, enjoyed our stay here. ##### Angelique Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John 30 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We stayed in the beautiful Ponderosa Room with a private hot tub and wood burning stove.

The downfalls. The parking situation. Twice all 10ish spots were taken and we had to park at a neighboring lodge and walk in the middle of the night. ##### Rachelle Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elijah 10 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very nice staff, beautiful room.
