10/10 Excellent
"We really liked the Wildwood. It was clean, had a fantastic view, and was quiet. We enjoyed the fire pit in the common area after dark. It was a self check in so I can't rate the staff, but it was easy. The kitchen was well stocked with necessities and the beds were about as comfortable as I've ever slept in. Easy access to both Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park. Would stay there again."

Inn on Fall River & Fall River Cabins

10/10 Excellent
"Don’t be fooled by the motel-esque appearance of this establishment. Yes the rooms are old and could use an upgrade but they are very clean and were so convenient for our family. There were dishes, silverware, a toaster, freshly ground coffee, microwave, dish soap, several towels , all toiletries. And it was spotless, the beds were comfortable. The first night around 9 there was really loud music and us and several guests were confused but the next morning we asked them to not do their light show at that time because we have little kids and they listened! We really appreciated that. The main office has games and books and refreshments. And the sound of the river is absolutely what makes this place worth all $$$ it costs."
