YMCA of The Rockies Estes Park

YMCA of The Rockies Estes Park

8/10 Good
"The YMCA at the Rockies is one of the most beautiful picturesque locations I have ever been at in the foothills of RMNP. The place is massive, with a lot of activities to do for kids and adults at the site. Could easily stay a week and not get bored of it. The staff were courteous, kind, patient and very helpful as well. The room was clean, however the heater was not room-controlled but was set for the entire lodge and was getting really hot at night. Wish they add mini fridge and microwave inside room even if they add to the price of the room. Other than that the stay was worth it !"

"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."

"Our stay at Aspen Brook was perfect! It was conveniently located near RMNP and downtown Estes Park. There was enough room for all 5 of us without feeling on top of each other. The Spice Rack was within walking distance. Def check it out for coffee and pastries. Communications leading up to and during our stay were clear and concise.
