The room was very clean. Thank you for the fan. I didn't realize there was no air conditioning, but it was fine and room was always a nice temperature. The view was fantastic. The office was well stocked with items we needed and was always available. The hummingbird feeders are a nice touch. We would stay again.

We enjoyed our stay

The good: great customer service, very clean, great price for the area, amazing views, quiet, comfortable bed and pillows, towels soft and not reaking of bleach, wood burining fireplace, hot shower Needs improvement: couch not comfortable, chairs for dining table need to be tightened, kitchen and bathroom could use an update but were very clean and usable as is, bedspread very thin and additional blanket too small for bed Overall we were very satisfied and will visit again.

Old School, Comfy and Cozy!

The "Deer" suite was a great option for a couple. We stayed for two nights and totally enjoyed the property as an affordable option near town with a very nice view. The property manager was very welcoming, and he does a great job keeping the units, which are older, in good repair. The queen bed was quite comfortable; the love seat was fine; the kitchen appliances worked well, and the kitchen was equipped with more than enough cookware and dinnerware for two. We loved the fireplace and the availability of bottled water, towels, books and DVD movies as needed/wanted using an old school low-tech honor system! Considering its charm and comfort, we didn't mind a few cracked tiles in the shower and the little bit of rust in the tub and sink. It was a clean, comfy, welcoming property with a happy vibe! The pictures were taken sitting in one of the chairs outside the Lakeside building.

Stayed mid-August for the Rockys

There was a small inconvenience when we started our stay, but Stephanie and Mark resolved it within the hour. My wife and I were impressed with their professionalism and care. The Wi-Fi was beyond impressive at 300mbps DL speeds - absolutely incredible. We had a fridge, comfy-cozy bed, and place to hang our coats. I would highly recommend Estes Lake Lodge. I would come back here again.

Maybe I was uninformed while booking, but I expected someone to be in office upon checkin. Simple misunderstanding. Either way, keys were prepared and displayed, and they have a wealth of entertainment to provide from the main office during your stay. Great for the value. Would recommend depending on goals for vacation.

Awesome views and prime location

We loved our stay and we’re grateful we picked Estes Lake Lodge. We came down, unknowingly, during “Elkfest”, which had tons of people coming in to enjoy. Estes Lake Lodge had the best location so we weren’t at all swamped like the rest of Estes Park. We got the greatest treat as a family of over 12 elk camped down right in front of us! Excellent bird watching too. We were lucky to have a fireplace and the office is open 24 hours for supplies you need, like firewood, And the check in and out process is user friendly. Its all “on your own”, which we appreciated. We will stay there again.

Could not sleep on the pillows they were flat like cardboard, used the cushions from the couch behind them. The shower was wonderful, until anyone flushed the toilet even in another unit, and you stood in the shower with no water for what felt like eternity (3 minutes until the toilet filled back up). The property is located off lake Estes and the animals and views were beautiful.

I really liked the cabin feel of the room, and it was nice to have the option to sit outside. The first night was fairly warm, but the window open with the ceiling fan on worked really well. The bed wasn’t very comfortable & the pillows were terrible. Somewhere to put my suitcase other than the chair or fireplace would have been great. Some of the dishes were clean, some were not. The sponge was used and shriveled up, though I could have gotten it wet and microwaved it to sanitize it. The turn into the lodge coming down the hill is a little sketchy since it’s also a turn lane for oncoming cars. Overall it was okay & I might stay there again.
