The staff was just awesome. The manager Darrell was excellent and my son loved his dog Aspen. The rooms were great. They have their own fireplace and everything one needs to start a fire. We had a valcony overlooking the river which was very nice. The room had a small kitchen with all kinds of pots and pans for your cooking. The utensils and plates were all very clean and they even had steak knives. They also have an outdoor grill if you wanted to cook outside. The room also have a nice table for 4 which is great. Many hotels don't give you that. The water pressure onnthe shower was great too. The only negative was the round toilets since we are used to the elongated ones. Well, my stay was awesome and would love to go back.

Cozy Getaway
Stayed at Ponderosa Lodge as we were in town for a friend’s wedding and had the most amazing time! I’d consider this wedding trip turned couple getaway. The lodge was quaint and cozy, such a perfect place to stay! We had a nice fire place in our room and the hot tub outside was the perfect place to relax after a long day. It was our first time in Estes Park, but we will definitely be coming back to stay here again! Thank you for such an amazing stay!
