Top Fern Lake Trailhead Hotel Reviews

Ponderosa Lodge

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed are stay at the lodge. We got in a little late (9:00 pm) so there was nobody at the office. There were instructions in the mailbox to the left of the office door. The room itself was very average but it's right on the Fall River and of couse it's in Estes so based on those two things, it was a very enjoyable stay."

Wildwood Inn

8/10 Good

"Great location, loved sitting on the deck and looking at the mountains. The hot tub inside the room was dirty, had not been cleaned from previous use, I had to clean it myself. The well water that fills it is yellow and leaves a residue. There was also crusty stuff on the bedspread, and the bed and pillows were pretty uncomfortable. Good price for the location and size of the room, but don't think it would be our first choice if we go back to Estes."

Inn on Fall River & Fall River Cabins

4/10 Poor

"The unit that we were placed in is currently in the middle of a construction area. The notification on Expedia has two sentences at the very bottom of the information, stating that the neighboring construction may cause a noise disturbance. It does NOT state that the rooms in the River Lodge are actually in the construction zone. Workers park all around you; construction material is stacked in the parking area; workers wake you up and are just outside your door at 7 am; and they even temporarily block you in your parking space. These units should not be rented while they are in the construction zone. Management did offer to refund us or move us to a different unit, but we only stayed three nights, so it was not worth losing our vacation time to relocate. The room (with two queen beds) itself is comfortable for two if you don't mind having a kitchenette stuffed next to the one closet or not having a dresser to put your clothes in. The location is great with easy access to the RMNP Fall River entrance and just a couple of miles outside of Estes Park. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting RMNP and Estes Park."
