We stayed in the Great Room and the unit itself was great. We would not return, however. There is no phone service and terrible WiFi so we had to drive to town to make calls and watching a movie was spotty. The place is loud. While sitting in the hot tub, we could hear the neighbors tv blaring and we were woken up early every morning by different things. It is a good family place, but don’t recommend for a couple looking for quiet.

What a happy accident:) just looking for a place to sleep and we landed in the cutest little cabin with a perfect fire and the Fall River lulling us to sleep. All the staff we encountered were absolutely wonderful and accommodating. Looking forward to another, longer stay!

I've been coming to Estes Park for 21 years and never had the pleasure of staying at Castle Mountain Lodge, now I can't wait to return after a lovely stay. I was in Castle 1, a motel room on the end of the row. It was perfect, peaceful and so comfortable. The beds were really comfy, lots of pillows and nice quilts. There was a table and chairs, big dresser, microwave and fridge. Unfortunately teb TV was not great, it was stuck on FX and no matter what I did, I was unable to change the channel. No big deal, I wasn't there to watch TV. The bathroom was spacious, lots of towels and great water pressure, always hot water. I loved the chairs on the porch and enjoyed sitting outside. The property is beautiful and it was wonderful to be able to sit by the river and enjoy an evening fire, a walk around and just listening to the river. The office area and library are very comfortable and lots of books and games to enjoy as well as coffee and other hot drinks. There's also a hot tub that can be reserved as well as a coin operated laundry on the property. I am an older solo female traveler and I felt completely safe at all times on the property. The close proximity to all that Estes Park/RMNP has to offer is a bonus, super easy drive to all the attractions, shops and restaurants.

Great place to stay!

Every employee we interacted with was very pleasant and friendly, especially the staff in the lobby. It felt like chatting with small town neighbors. We LOVED our cabin! The property is walking distance to town (one mile on a flat path). We WILL stay there again next time we head to Estes Park.
