Top Fern Lake Trailhead Hotel Reviews

Alpine Trail Ridge Inn

8/10 Good

"Location was excellent, only a 3 minute drive to the entrance of RMNP. However, after hiking all day without cell service to check email, the kiosk for the check in progress was a bit aggravating. You needed a reservation number to check in, so without it you had to entered all your information onto a screen. I was already prepaid but it needed a credit card for incidentals, and your personal info. I did call to ask for assistance, and she was very friendly. In my experience traveling I would have preferred a friendly face at a front desk instead of a 20 minute check in process. Aside from that the motel room was very clean and updated. It had a comfortable bed and was quiet."

Tiny Town Cabins

10/10 Excellent

"The property is in an excellent location near the town and also near the national park but also located right on the Big Thompson river b. We really enjoyed all the outdoor space. The cabin was nice, plenty of space, comfortable. There is a bit of maintenance needed to windows, lights and shower fixture and perhaps some better pots and pans for cooking that are safer for use. We managed very well and enjoyed the property."

Nicky's Resort

8/10 Good

"We stayed for multiple days and found the area quiet despite a popular restaurant nearby. The room was very clean but some flaws in the flooring and a gap beneath the door was a bit worrisome. Parking was very convenient. There is seating by the river but the room balcony basically overlooks the parking and restaurant. BTW, the restaurant is one of our favs! You can walk to it easily. The tv, ac and water pressure in the shower was fantastic!"

Swiftcurrent Lodge and Cottages by the River

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our stay in Cabin #4 at Swiftcurrent Lodge! It was the perfect size for a couple. One of our favorite parts was enjoying coffee and hot tea each morning by the kitchen window overlooking the river, then relaxing with drinks on the patio in the evenings while listening to the water. The kitchenette was perfect for preparing simple meals and packing our backpacks before heading out to explore Rocky Mountain National Park. The king-size bed was incredibly comfortable, making it easy to relax after a day of hiking. There is a perfect breeze through the cabin keeping it cool! A wonderful bonus was the bakery on the property owned by the lodge owners—it was absolutely to die for! The fresh pastries and treats made our mornings even more special. We will definitely be back! We highly recommend Cabin #4 to anyone looking for a cozy, peaceful mountain getaway in Estes Park❤️"
