Last but not least the breakfast - it was delicious and the selection of sweet and savoury was perfect! Thanks to the whole team at Riversong...

Top Fern Lake Trailhead Hotel Reviews

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."

Alpine Trail Ridge Inn

8/10 Good

"The room was clean ok. We had three light bulbs out so very dark. Our curtains barely hung on the rod. A small garbage can only. Furniture was broken I’d say we were in the less updated"

Inn on Fall River & Fall River Cabins

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay in the streamline suites. The entire space was so lovely and comfortable. It was very clean and beautifully decorated. Will stay again in the future."

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
