Top Dream Lake Hotel Reviews

YMCA of The Rockies Estes Park

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing for families and kids"

"Historic Mountainside Cabin At Braeside" Pet friendly.

10/10 Excellent

"Braeside is a very nice, built well, authentic log cabin, perfect for 2. We have been visiting Estes Park every year in the fall, for over 30 years. This cabin was the cleanest and cozy so far! Well equipped, firm bed, and beautiful scenery. Quiet neighborhood with many opportunities to see wildlife. When we arrived, a cow Elk and her baby were laying under the tree, outside the bathroom window to greet us!"

Cabin Retreat • Updated • Rocky Mountain Views • Backs to Rocky Mountain Park!!!

10/10 Excellent

"Great place for a getaway. Just outside the busy Estes, but close enough to quickly enjoy the town. Such an easy drive to RMNP, too! The cabin was clean, comfy, and just a perfect stay!"

The Rose Den - Romantic Mountain Cabin with Views!

10/10 Excellent

"Surprisingly large studio cabin with a lovely sense of privacy despite being close to the park entrance and town. We had a lovely cozy time. Hot tubbing under a star-studded canopy of a dark sky was amazing!"

Swiftcurrent Lodge and Cottages by the River

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing view from the cabin. Definitely looking forward to another visit"

Walk to RMNP, hot tub, mountain views and river access.

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay. The house is as-advertised. It would be great for people of all ages, but was especially well-equipped for our group - 4 adults and 5 young kids. We especially enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings after kids went to bed. The location is perfect - a short stop from the YMCA and a short drive to downtown Estes Park and RMNP. We've stayed in Aspen Brook once before. We'll be back again one day soon."

Historic House at Braeside

10/10 Excellent

"Was everything as advertised. View of mountains off outside porch and corner windows in living room was great. Across the rode from property is running stream you can hear and see from outside and dining room window."

Divine Destiny Vacation Home at Windcliff

10/10 Excellent

"This house was perfect for our group in nearly every way. The split levels gave each family privacy but allowed us to spend as much time together as we wanted. We all thoroughly enjoyed the surroundings and the views, we really felt like we got the most out of our trip to Colorado by being so surrounded by its natural beauty at all times. The house felt totally private but still close to RMNP and town. It was clean and well appointed, and the 2 interactions I had with staff were easy and professional. We would all happily return!"

Blue Spruce Manor - 5 bedroom luxury home with hot tub

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautiful, elegant property. We had 10 family members and we all had plenty of space. We enjoyed the sound of the river and the extensive patio. The interior was of the highest quality. Everything we needed was provided. We will all remember this place as a special memory."
