Loved our stay at the Blue Spruce Cabin! Cozy, clean, and tucked in a peaceful wooded setting—perfect for a quiet mountain escape! Great location near Estes Park and hiking trails. The cabin had everything we needed, and the hosts were great. Highly recommend!

Perfect location with great views as you leave the property and head towards Estes Park. Cute with all the necessities and extras. The bathroom has a beautiful design. I would recommend new bath towels as all of them had bleach spots but otherwise everything was great!

This was such a great option to stay! Great location, close enough drive to the Rocky Mt National Park but far enough way you get some peace and quiet. Beautiful drive and area. Was very comfortable & clean! Will definitely be staying again in the future!

This place was perfect for what we needed! It is tucked away surrounded by the beauty of the area. Comfortable full beds, sitting couch, wonderful shower that doubles as a steam room. There is a gas station/convenience store across the street, burger place too. A little up the road in a "hole in the wall" cafe that was recommended to us for breakfast, and it was great! This place was situation perfectly between Estes Park and Lyons. We will definitely be back again whenever we get back to the area to visit.

Wish we would've had a chance to take advantage of the hot tub but when i lifted the cover the chemical odor was so strong i was worried about sensitivity with our skin. It would be nice if the dumpster weren't in plain sight. Kind of ruined the beauty of the landscape (maybe an enclosure?) My husband says the steam shower was amazing!

Room is great, shower is the best! But could have a little more structure in the small kitchen as all the meals are down there - a support table, aluminum foil, paper towel, a sponge for the dishes.

My stay at Ferncliff was far behind my expectations. There is a small store across the street with basics which was super convenient instead driving all the way to Estes Park or Lyons. The best part of all was the communication and helpfulness of the host. I rarely write reviews but this stay was exceptional!

Perfect mountain getaway

Very cozy. Perfect for that little mountain getaway. Short drive from Estes Park and the drive is absolutely stunning. The steam shower felt AMAZING after walking around in the snowy mountains all day. The kitchenette is adorable and perfect for quick meals. Rooms are very clean. The rooms come with little fans and heaters so my husband and I slept so comfortably.

Lovely Lodge

Great location if you are interested in being remote and away from the touristy area. The amenities provided are great! The room and facility are clean and comfortable and the steam shower plus community hot tub helps after a long day of hiking.

This was a sweet place to stay while we explored the Rocky Mountain NP. Nicely decorated, sweet little kitchen, great shower and bathroom. Nice location. Very comfortable. We loved it! Just be aware that the photo that is used to represent this lodge is nothing that we saw. Instead, it was shed row style of 3 or so rooms. We had a bit of difficulty making sure we had the correct place as there is NO signage. We had to ask a helpful store worker across the street (thankfully it was still open) and she said 'it's all online'. Service is sketchy but luckily I got the email with the complete instructions on which room and with the code to access the room,
