Top Emerald Lake Hotel Reviews

YMCA of The Rockies Estes Park

8/10 Good

"Considering all the amenities considering the price and location. Excellent option for people traveling in the area, especially families. Biggest problem was all the noise the kids were making as they were running around until pretty late. It was expected given the nature of the lodging, I suppose, but it was not something I bargained for coming in."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Great location!!We enjoyed the privacy and seeing deer off the deck. The bed was very comfortable!!Bedroom is tiny but worked for us. The owner quickly responded to a request we had!! Washer and dryer was great! Kitchen was well equipped."

Rivendell Log Cabin - walk into RMNP! Continental Divide Views! Large Hot Tub!

10/10 Excellent

"Rivendell was the perfect cabin for my family - 8 adults and 7 children ages 5 and under. It had beautiful views from every porch and is next door to the YMCA of the Rockies where you can get day passes for those interested. It is very close to the southern entrance to the National Park meaning you did not have to drive through town to get there. We spotted elk, deer, and turkeys from the decks. The owner was very responsive to any advance questions. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of dishware and flatware (important to a group of 15)."

Mountain getaway with separate bunkhouse, deck, & trail access

10/10 Excellent

"The pictures don’t do it justice. The views and location are spectacular, the beds are comfy and the house is very well appointed, as is the bunkhouse. It wears its history well, but has top line fixtures and the updated finishes only add to the grandeur of the place. Because of its location perched atop a granite outcropping, it feels like a chateau, but functions like a super comfortable bungalow, with kids games, TVs, a dedicated wine fridge, and a beautiful subzero refrigerator. Having both a standard 12-cup coffee maker and a modern quick response Keurig was ideal with 13 people of varying caffeination requirements.The outdoor gas fireplace is ideal to gather and gaze at the stars, share stories of daily adventures, and relax before bed. Which brings me to the main quirk, for which you’ll want to plan ahead.There are plenty of beds, but only two small bedrooms in the main have doors that offer a modicum of privacy.The upstairs master is a dream King bed room with a beautiful en-suite bath, but as it’s at the top of the stairs at the entry, there’s no bedroom door to shut, and hence no real privacy. Even so, this is definitely the best room, but bring earplugs, or you’ll be up with the first to awaken.The bunkhouse has a beautiful king, but is also in the same wide open space with two bunks and one twin. A bath, and laundry compliment the kitchenette.So if sharing space and divvying 3 baths, two kings, and countless twins, isn’t an issue, then you’re golden!"
