If you're looking for a place that captures the true charm, history, and beauty of Estes Park, this…read morelodge is it. Originally opened on July 4, 1914, this historic lodge sits high on a hill overlooking Estes Park, with stunning views of the surrounding mountains and even a clear view of the Stanley Hotel. With only 27 rooms, it offers a peaceful, intimate atmosphere that feels worlds away from the crowded hotels in town. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by Kayleigh, the Operations Manager. She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable about both the lodge and Estes Park, and immediately made us feel at home. Walking into the lodge feels like stepping back in time in the best possible way. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with a true log cabin feel. Many of the decorations and furnishings are original, including some of the glassware, which adds to the incredible history of the property. The first floor features three original fireplaces, plenty of comfortable seating, complimentary coffee and water, board games, books, movie rentals, and DVD players in every room. The lodge has also built a beautiful bar area that should be opening soon once their liquor license is finalized, which will be another great addition. During our first night, we stayed in Room 305, a one-bedroom suite with a separate bedroom and incredible mountain views. The bed, pillows, and bedding were honestly some of the most comfortable I've ever slept on outside of my own home. I slept amazingly well. The room included a kitchenette with a two-burner cooktop, mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker with Folgers coffee, dishes, paper towels, dish soap, sponge, and even cute little salt and pepper shakers. The bathroom was stocked with quality shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion. The view from Room 305 was breathtaking. As the sun set behind the Rocky Mountains, it looked as if the mountains were glowing with fire. It was one of the most beautiful views I've experienced in Estes Park. For our second night, we moved to Room 103, a spacious two-bedroom suite. This room was absolutely huge and perfect for families or groups. It featured two separate bedrooms, a larger kitchen area with a mid-sized refrigerator, multiple bathrooms, a comfortable living room, and a full balcony with tables and chairs overlooking Estes Park. Like every room, it included a box fan, though we actually found ourselves getting chilly enough to close the windows at night. The outdoor amenities are just as impressive. The pool is large, clean, and surrounded by plenty of tables, chairs, and loungers. The hot tub is the perfect temperature and includes bubbling jets. There's a hammock for relaxing, Adirondack chairs overlooking the scenery, cornhole for some friendly competition, and propane grills available for guests to use. The property also hosts weddings, and honestly, I can't imagine a more beautiful setting for one. What I love most about this lodge is that it feels authentic. It's quiet, secluded, and never crowded. The limited number of rooms creates a peaceful atmosphere that's becoming harder and harder to find in Estes Park. I've stayed at five different hotels and lodges in Estes Park over the years, and this is hands down my favorite. The combination of history, comfort, amenities, incredible views, friendly staff, and fair pricing makes it stand out above the rest. With plans for a future restaurant and continued improvements, it's only going to get better. When I return to Estes Park--and I definitely will--this is where I'll stay. If you're considering lodging options in town, don't overlook this hidden gem. In my opinion, you're missing out if you choose somewhere else.

We stayed at your hotel from June 22-28, and I wanted to take a moment to let you know what a…read morewonderful experience we had. Our trip came together at the last minute, and we didn't realize the hotel had recently changed ownership and reopened. As we searched for a place to stay, your hotel stood out because of its rich history, beautiful views, and the inviting pool and hot tub. We are so glad we found it. From the moment we arrived, Drew made us feel genuinely welcome. He took the time to share the story of the hotel's transition and was incredibly friendly and informative. We had asked whether the elk still visited the property, and by pure luck, we were returning from a hike just as the herd wandered through the grounds. Being able to watch them up close was an unforgettable experience and one of the highlights of our trip. I also want to recognize the wonderful woman at the front desk whose name I unfortunately didn't catch. She greeted us each day with a warm smile and always wished us a great day or welcomed us back. Those small gestures made us feel truly valued as guests. Your hotel provided exactly what we needed--a place to unwind from our busy lives. We spent time relaxing in the hot tub, enjoying the common areas, and simply appreciating the charm, character, and hospitality that make your property so special. We also hope your plans to open a restaurant and enhance the bar area come to life. Several people we met around town spoke very fondly of the former restaurant and shared how much they missed it. We wish you every success as you continue to build on the hotel's history while creating an exciting future. Room 206 was perfect for our stay, and we can confidently say we will be back. We fell in love with Estes Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, and your beautiful hotel. We're already talking about returning in a couple of years, and we look forward to seeing all the wonderful additions and improvements you've made by then. Thank you for making our vacation so memorable. We wish you and your team continued success and look forward to staying with you again.

A venue so beautiful our guests are still talking about it!…read more We're locals in the Boulder area and quickly learned that Estes Park is a highly sought-after wedding destination. We didn't fully grasp just how sought-after until we began our venue search. When we toured Black Canyon Inn in July 2024, we were stunned to find that our date in November 2025 was the only one left for the entire year! It's clear that this venue is difficult to book for a very good reason. Black Canyon Inn delivers truly excellent service and provides a dedicated day-of coordinator, which was a huge relief. They do not allow outside catering, and as self-proclaimed food lovers, we were initially hesitant about this policy. However, we took a leap of faith after hearing from so many vendors that their wedding food is some of the best around--and they were absolutely right. The food was phenomenal and completely exceeded our expectations. They also have a fantastic list of recommended vendors, which helped us tremendously with our wedding planning. It gave us confidence that we were making great choices every step of the way. As we were planning, we noticed a recurring theme in the wedding community: many couples want to feel "unique" and "special," wanting a wedding that doesn't feel like anyone else's. While we understand that sentiment, our philosophy was different. We chose Black Canyon Inn precisely because they do so many weddings. We wanted a "well-oiled machine" that has the experience and expertise to handle anything that might come up. We are only having a wedding once, and we wanted a team that knows exactly what they are doing through experience. For any couples searching for a venue, our advice is this: don't let your "wow factor" come from choosing an inexperienced venue. Let it come from the special moments with your family and friends. Your wedding is always going to be unique because you are not anyone else! Black Canyon Inn provided the perfect, seamless backdrop for our day, and we couldn't be happier. We highly recommend them.

They have adjoining rooms and those are newer and in a more quiet area of the property. Their continental breakfast is pretty good. They have free movie popcorn and DVD rentals. They also have a pool and hot tub but we have never used them. They also have a small playground. Again, it's great for families. We have been to Murphy's with kids/teens a few times and it's been pretty good. Close to gear rental (Estes Park Mountain Shop) and close to the main grocery store: Safeway. Also close to McDonald's, Starbucks, Subway and Jimmy John's. Also near the Estes Park Visitors Center. Further from RMNP (about 25-30 minutes) The bad: I decided to book this place for an Anniversary and that was a huge mistake. First, I booked through their website instead of Booking.com since that is better for their business.. I put in the special instructions that we wanted their best King Room for our anniversary. Rates were high despite it being a slow weekend and on booking.com they had lots of open king rooms. We ended up in one of their older rooms which faced the main road. Bathroom sink didn't drain, found hair on the sink. After flushing toilet, it would continue to run. The bed was too soft and hurt our backs. The back of our place faced a busy road. Lots of noise between the walls with the neighbors next door and kids running and screaming outside. Also, their internet was sooo SLOW. If you are coming here to do any work, forget it. We had terrible service most of the time. Wasn't able to use any apps like Netflix, Disney + etc. Pretty old school TV's. For the price we paid, it wasn't worthy of the rate and I wished we had gone somewhere else for a great couple experience. Again, for families, this place is awesome, for couples, I would look elsewhere.
