Top Fern Lake Trailhead Hotel Reviews

YMCA of The Rockies Estes Park

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our stay at the YMCA of the Rockies! The location was incredible, with beautiful trails, wildlife, and so much to explore right on the property, along with plenty of lodging, dining, and activity options. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully cared for—we would happily stay here again!"

Alpine Trail Ridge Inn

10/10 Excellent

"."

Wildwood Inn

10/10 Excellent

"It was located less than i mile from National Park and 1/2 mile from downtown Steamboat. Great Jacuzzi on outdoor deck was clean and worked perfectly. View was excellent and the staff was very responsive and the checkin/checkout was very easy. Highly recommend and we will come back during the Rutting season next year. Lynn & David"

Inn on Fall River & Fall River Cabins

10/10 Excellent

"Three story cabins on the river and they are brand new. The property has a small beach area for the kids or just to relax near the water. There's a heated infinity pool and hot tub. They have thought of everything. Staff is friendly. Great property and trip."

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."
