Top Fern Lake Trailhead Hotel Reviews

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

10/10 Excellent

"Great place for a getaway. Just outside the busy Estes, but close enough to quickly enjoy the town. Such an easy drive to RMNP, too! The cabin was clean, comfy, and just a perfect stay!"

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

10/10 Excellent

"Quiet and lovely setting in Estes Park very close to Rocky Mountain National Park entrances. The house is in a lovely setting and near to town. Everything was super clean and comfortable. Renters should note that the bathroom is on the first floor and bedrooms are up a cut spiral staircase on the second floor, so may be a consideration for those who get up at night. Communication was easy, thorough and fast."

Swiftcurrent Lodge and Cottages by the River

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing view from the cabin. Definitely looking forward to another visit"

Walk to RMNP, hot tub, mountain views and river access.

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay. The house is as-advertised. It would be great for people of all ages, but was especially well-equipped for our group - 4 adults and 5 young kids. We especially enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings after kids went to bed. The location is perfect - a short stop from the YMCA and a short drive to downtown Estes Park and RMNP. We've stayed in Aspen Brook once before. We'll be back again one day soon."

Moraine Music Cabin On the edge of RMNP Dog Friendly

10/10 Excellent

"Very spacious and well organized cabin in a good location. Very accommodating and easy check in and out process. Only downside was I believe it originally listed washer and dryer available but we discovered the door to the laundry area was locked. Not sure if they'd had issues so stopped offering it or what but otherwise it was a great property."

Beautifully Furnished, Clean, Cozy Cabin Next to Rocky! Walk to RMNP & YMCA

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Aspen Brook was perfect! It was conveniently located near RMNP and downtown Estes Park. There was enough room for all 5 of us without feeling on top of each other. The Spice Rack was within walking distance. Def check it out for coffee and pastries. Communications leading up to and during our stay were clear and concise. The check-in and check-out couldn't have been smoother."

Machin's Cottage #18- 2 bedroom 1 bath close to RMNP! Pet Friendly

8/10 Good

"The property is as described - rustic. Shower and furniture are definitely old school. On the plus side - the mattresses are extremely comfortable, and the linens are very nice."

Charming 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom Machin Cottage #1
