Stoney River Lodge was the perfect spot to stay for a trip to RMNP. It's a reasonable distance from DIA and RMNP hikes. This place was super cute and had everything we could possibly need for our stay. Our host was also very sweet and helpful. The views from our patio was beautiful and we couldnt have asked for a better stay.

It worked for our getaway weekend

Gorgeous spot -right across from the River. Owners very nice… reviewed room with us before we checked in. Let a very nice welcome basket and even had doggy treats for our dog! But, going in July is HOT outside. No A/C. Ran fans alls day to try and keep place cool. Also, shower stall needs work. Too small for adult size bodies. Toilet not secured to floor… it moves after you sit or get off of it. Overall nice place. Bonus was the river being right outside our door.

Good value place to stay outside of Estes Park

All of the rooms have a theme. Ours was western / cowboy. Some parts of the room were not clean - we were provided a 20-inch box fan (that was well-needed), but it was filthy. We had to wash any dishes we used in the little kitchen, which I didn't mind, but we would have otherwise been charged a fee. I didn't feel really good about trusting every other guest to have washed everything well, so I also pre-washed. The Big Thompson River flows right outside - very nice and relaxing and not noisy at night. No/difficult cell service. No local places to eat. Good value away from Estes Park, which is a lovely place - will be better after they finish road construction.

Stony River Lodge is a little old motel along Hwy 34 between Loveland and Estes Park. Our room was small, but I expected this based on the description and pictures on Expedia. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.
