We liked how close it was to RMNP, we were able to walk to Estes Park, so that wasn’t bad. Parking is not that good and it’s gravel so you track the sand into your room. But it is very outdoorsy and gives you the feel of being out away from everything.

The place is nice and quiet, the only thing that needs to be remodeled is the interior of the rooms.

The lady working there I believe her name was Jessica was extremely helpful and friendly! Made it a great stay as they are very accommodating. A nice little low-key place to stay that is away from town yet very close.

Great place!

Our room was right in the brook, with a balcony overlooking the water. Our room was clean and comfortable. Everyone at the lodge was so helpful and so nice. We got in late. And the checkin was so easy! Would definitely stay here again. It was also super close to the park and downtown! Right in the middle between the two, so you didn't have to drive through the downtown traffic to get to the park. There were still restaurants in walking distance. Such a great, peaceful spot!

My 70 year old mother and I enjoyed our stay at Ponderosa Lodge. While a bit stuffy in the afternoons when we returned (daytime highs were near 90), the awesome fans they had in the room cooled it down quickly. I enjoyed sleeping with the window open at night. We had a kitchenette suite and it was so helpful to be able to cook on the stovetop in the room. The sleeper sofa was incredibly comfortable, as was the bed. Very clean with a nice staff. Will stay again.

We loved the Ponderosa Lodge! Highly recommended! We absolutely loved the location, so close to the entrance of RMNP. Staff was amazing and very personable (even gave us tips where to see wildlife)! Very quiet and relaxing, just what we were looking for! We will definitely stay again when back in Estes Park!
