Swiftcurrent Lodge and Cottages by the River

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at here! The cottage was clean & cozy! The kitchen was fully equipped. We loved grilling & having meals by the river!! It was beautiful & memorable!"

River Ridge Cottages

8/10 Good

"Beautiful setting by the river with mountain peak views. Convenient parking near the room. Spacious room with table, couch, stove, micro, sink, coffee maker. Helped us save money on preparing food. Couch not facing TV. No decaf coffee! Very convenient checkin and out. Excellent riverside deck & bank with chairs. Excellent location near RMNP & local parks."

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."
