This is a quaint place with rooms that are clean and while small have a lot of conveniences provided. Our room had an electric fireplace and a small kitchenette. Bed was comfortable. It’s close to Estes Park shopping and restaurants.

The office was not staffed until the 3:00 PM. There wasn’t a breakfast. The room was small and I couldn’t figure out how to operate the AC. Everything was clean and the beds were comfortable which is what I look for.

The staff was super friendly. The room was clean and the bed was amazingly comfortable. There were deer and elk that would literally lay around under the trees out front of the inn. The only detractor is the walls are very thin, so sounds from the other rooms could be heard clearly. Overall, I would highly recommend staying at Columbine Inn. They probably have the best rates in Estes Park. Except for here, Dominos and McDonald’s, you will need to take quite a bit of extra money as everything is way overpriced.
