The Gateway Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and easy access to both Grand Lake and RMNP. Spacious room with a balcony overlooking Shadow Mountain Lake"

Spirit Lake Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about our stay was amazing! The rooms are spacious and the decorations make you think your staying in a cabin. It was close to everything, we walked everywhere. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The futon was a bit hard but luckily my kid was exhausted. The only thing we did not get to use was the jacuzzi becuase they only have one and it was packed."

Inn on Fall River & Fall River Cabins

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful property and our Stream Suite was bigger than expected. Two things that came as a surprise to us, the stream running through the property was across the parking lot from our suite. The website view had us thinking it ran outside our back door. Also, we thought they had a pool because it was prominently displayed on the website. Once we arrived and looked further it was on the website with "coming soon in Aug.". We didn't see that fine print. All in all it was a great stay. The two things weren't any big deal and we would stay there again and recommend it to anyone wanting a beautiful place, in a beautiful setting with clean and luxurious accommodations. 5 Stars."

Idlewilde by the River

10/10 Excellent

"Should put the cabin number on the itinerary and the lock should have at least a 30 second delay. You could easily lock yourself out and if you don’t memorize the code or if you leave your phone inside the cabin you could be locked out with no way to contact anybody. Other than that, everything was great."

YMCA of The Rockies Estes Park

10/10 Excellent

"It is a huge YMCA venue located conveniently close to the Beaver entrance of the Rocky Mountains. It’s a popular affordable place for families hence, it is very busy with lots of people traffic. We checked in a at a well maintained lodge with a friendly & helpful staff. After an amazing day in the park we checked in late at 7:30pm. Even with a late check in we were able to have our choice of 3 different buffets to get something to eat. The lobby lodge we were placed in was well worn with camp furniture & rug from the 70’s. So I wasn’t sure what to expect of our room. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I walked into a nice, clean refurbished room with a comfortable bed & remodeled shower complete with great water pressure."
