This was a great place to stay, but we will be looking forward to coming back again and seeing how some of the amenities have changed for the better. We recognize that they recently reopened and that there are changes that are coming, they just weren't present during our stay.

The property was in a good location and met most of our needs. Kitchen was stocked with everything needed. However, the room was rather small, the overhead fan was annoying and the floor and towels were rough. Breakfast consisted of bagels, mini muffins, dry cereal, yogurt, juice, milk, coffee, and some fruit. Pool was ok. Pool table was too small and too close to the wall.

The views from the Pool and Hot Tub area were great. The pool and hot tub were very well maintained. Don't let the age of this property scare you away. This is a very nice place to stay. They didn't have their liquor license when we stayed but were scheduled to pick this up on Monday, 06-29-26. Talked to the very nice manager, and he informed us this company bought this in April of 2026 and they replaced all the TV's in all the rooms, the lobby furniture, some of the carpet. We will be staying here again.

We loved everything about our stay at Crags. It is definitely an old, historic inn and the owners have kept it's original charm. You wouldn't love it if you need fancy and new, but the history and the old charm and warmth of this place was exactly what what we loved about it. It just feels good to be there. The rooms and furniture are older but super clean and the beds are comfy. As hikers, we appreciated having a kitchen and a living room space. The dining room is beautiful withthe original floor-to-ceiling windows and offers light continental breakfast. Lots of games, a piano, pool table, and fireplace. The pool and jacuzzi were beautiful and perfectly situated to watch the sunset and maybe catch an elk walking by. Outdoors there's a fire pit, giant Jenga and corn hole. Plenty to enjoy there. The staff was lovely and helpful in every way. Great location up the hill overlooking Estes Park with an easy drive to RMNP. We look forward to going back!
