Top Fern Lake Trailhead Hotel Reviews

YMCA of The Rockies Estes Park

10/10 Excellent

"Great place with friendly staff and guests"

Wildwood Inn

8/10 Good

"The owner was wonderful! Very informative, knowledgeable and genuine!"

The Landing at Estes Park - Riverside Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely secluded small Hotel, very clean with charming rooms, wonderful fire pits and overlooking the river. We could not have asked for more and on top of it, it’s only a mile from the entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park. Staff were very helpful and the bed very comfortable."

River Ridge Cottages

8/10 Good

"Large and well furnished living space, comfortable bed, good wifi, well-equipped kitchen/dining area, and very reasonable price for Estes park. Situated on a lovely stream minutes away from Elkhorn Drive and the city center. The cabin is "rustic", meaning it is well maintained and very clean but not modern, which appeals in some ways but not others. Shower is modern with good showerhead and immediate hot water and good flow. Large refrigerator, nice stove and oven, large dining table overlooking the stream, full set of dishes and utensils. Great for a week stay like ours, although we were gone all day each day and ate out for all meals. Windows are old but open adequately. No AC so can get warm during hot days but several ceiling fans and cool nights keep it in check. No central heat, but floor base heaters in all three rooms work well. Cabins are located in a quieter part of town, but there are several restaurants close by as well as groceries and gas stations and amusements. The RMNP Beaver Meadows Entrance is a hop, skip, and a jump close by. Off-site management is very responsive to requests and questions, on-site service is available on request and very helpful."

Idlewilde by the River

10/10 Excellent
