Top Bear Lake Trailhead Hotel Reviews

Alpine Trail Ridge Inn

8/10 Good

"Great location with easy access to the park. Super convenient for dinner since we had reservations for Bird and Jim, literal walking distance. The pool was really nice. The rooms had been re done but the walls are thin we could hear our neighbors blasting and singing lady Gaga early in the morning 😬"

Dao House

10/10 Excellent

"We were visiting our daughter who was working at a camp down the road, and landed at the Dao House. We stayed in the lodge, which was beautiful. Our room had a door to a shared balcony and hummingbirds were everywhere. We had 2 queen beds for my family, and the room arrangement worked really well for the four of us (2 teens). Everything was very clean and the staff was beyond helpful. We went horseback riding at Elkhorn stables on the property, which made for a great afternoon. My hubby and kids enjoyed tennis and basketball on site, and we took advantage of the books and games down the hall. Although they don't really offer breakfast, we were pleasantly surprised to find they had muffins along with the tea and coffee. We had stopped by Safeway in Estes Park for milk, cereal, oatmeal, etc. We were able to keep perishables in the community mini fridge and heat what we needed in the microwave. Some of the cabins looked like they could use a fresh coat of paint, but the property was beautiful and relaxing and a wonderful get away. We would stay there again."

Idlewilde by the River

8/10 Good

"It was a rustic cabin setting by a river. We enjoyed being able to get away from the crowds in Estes Park. Our cabin was unexpectedly very close to the other cabins, however, all the guests respected the quiet. Messaging with the host was easy and quick. The kitchenette and bathroom were tiny, but sufficient for our needs. We liked the screened porch with the swing on it. There was a sufficient wifi & tv signal. Location was close to everything in Estes Park. Check in/out was super easy."

Riversong Inn Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"The property is set on 26 acres on a “small” river (Big Thompson River) in Estes Park. The grounds are nice, and set up as a wedding (or event) venue. They have a good bit of frontage along the river, with benches interspersed. We stayed in “Shooting Star” in the main building’s second (top) floor. It was a very nice unit with a king bed, fireplace, sitting area (bookcases filled with books), shower and separate tub (and sink and toilet; toilet in the water closet with shower, sink outside that area with tub). We had to go with the “to go” breakfast (a great parfait with kiwi and blueberries) since we had 6-8am timed entry for Rocky Mountain NP."
