Top Bear Lake Hotel Reviews

YMCA of The Rockies Estes Park

10/10 Excellent

"This is an amazing vacation destination for families. The facilities are clean and well taken care of. There is a large and diverse set of activities good for children of all ages and everything reasonably priced. I highly recommend YMCA of the Rockies."

Cozy A-Frame! 2 Bedroom 1 Bath Close to YMCA and RMNP- Dogs OK!

10/10 Excellent

"Property was clean and well stocked.The cabin was cozy and in my opinion, 4 people, whether a mix of kids and adults or just adults, would be the max for comfortability. Location to town and activities was great. Overall, I would recommend this property as it was exactly as advertised and Leah was a very responsive and friendly host."

Rivendell Log Cabin - walk into RMNP! Continental Divide Views! Large Hot Tub!

10/10 Excellent

"Great cabin for a family getaway! Great location and very nice views. The sun porch in the back was a huge hit and we all spent a lot of time there. The hot tub is very nice and high quality and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely recommend this place."

"Historic Mountainside Cabin At Braeside" Pet friendly.

10/10 Excellent

"This property was amazing! Great area, a little difficult to find within the other places and small roads to it, would have been difficult at night for sure as address was not super prominent. Area was quiet but had an enjoyable sound of rushing water from the river across the street. Host thought of everything a traveler may need from providing toiletries, to coffee and filters, to books etc. Would highly recommend!"

Cabin Retreat • Updated • Rocky Mountain Views • Backs to Rocky Mountain Park!!!

10/10 Excellent

"This was a very nice cabin very close to a lot of things, good restaurants (less than 5 minutes in some cases), shops and different areas of the park. The deck is absolutely wonderful. Sun in the morning and cool in the evenings. Having laundry available was a great plus. We didn't use the TVs but there are two large screen TVs. We didn't cook either, but to say the cabin is stocked is an understatement. There was even a bic lighter, small flashlight that worked, fly swatter, extra paper towels, kleenex and more. The shower was great. Good water pressure and hot water. There are some houses down below, but we never heard anyone. Very quiet and peaceful. The roof is low in some places upstairs, but we didn't use the beds there. The main bed was very comfortable although the room is small and tight. But we knew that from the pictures on line. This was our first time to the RMNP and the cabin helped make a great vacation!"
