"We stayed for a couple nights while leaf-peeping in Estes Park. First, the good stuff. The lobby was certainly built to impress, with a huge 20 x 40 foot fireplace and big log construction. We stayed in the lodge. The rooms were adequate size, mattress was decent, and all was clean. I definitely recommend getting a room with a Long's Peak view, It was the best view of Long's Peak we've ever had (see photo), and we have stayed in Estes a lot. We had trouble opening the door to the outside deck - called down to the front desk and they were prompt and friendly taking care of it. The morning breakfast was coffee (which was fine) and grocery store muffins cut in half. Hot water was available and spring water for your water bottle. That's it. The property has lots of cabins which are pretty old looking. The dining hall/lounge was closed - it looked like permanently. Now the not so good - they advertise disconnecting to relax, and you must disconnect because the WiFi was so bad you could not even text message with it. Forget about an Internet web page with pictures on it. So if that's what you're expecting that's fine, but just know you won't be online there."

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."
