Top Fern Lake Trailhead Hotel Reviews

Alpine Trail Ridge Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I appreciated the very clean room. Great location as well."

Inn on Fall River & Fall River Cabins

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed at four different hotels this trip and the Inn on Fall River was easily the best. Even though it’s considered a 3-star I would rate it 4-5 star because of the location, amenities, and rooms. I don’t normally take baths but that large jet tub took care of sore muscles from hiking RMNP. Loved the fact it was just a few minutes to drive into town. Excellent value for the price!"

Idlewilde by the River

8/10 Good

"Cute place and right by the river! Loved staying here"

The Landing at Estes Park - Riverside Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice room on a quiet property. The only downside is no onsite breakfast or restaurant."

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."
