We stayed in the motel room #2 & it was all clean, quiet, so beautiful at night with the lights all lit up. Easy access to town & RMNP! I think next time we will book sooner so we can snag a cabin with a private hot tub just because that sounds so wonderful. The playground was perfect for our little one & what an amazing backdrop of scenery while our little one played. Sound of the river was so nice as well. Tons of turkeys on site during our stay which we got a kick out of! We would love to come back and would highly recommend castle mountain lodge to anyone looking for a place to stay in Estes!

Wow, we had such a wonderful stay, that we extended it by a day at the end of our trip. Our cabin was super clean and cozy with the forest and a hiking trail at our door. I definitely recommend getting a cabin with a hot tub.

Castle Mountain Lodge is a beautiful place to stay when visiting Estes Park/RMNP. It is situated right off a two lane highway but is very peaceful. The accommodations are well appointed and the staff is very friendly. They also offer free cookies in the lobby which was a nice treat. We stayed in a studio lodge and it was very comfortable. We would definitely recommend this place to others and would stay here again the next time we are in Estes Park.

I've been coming to Estes Park for 21 years and never had the pleasure of staying at Castle Mountain Lodge, now I can't wait to return after a lovely stay. I was in Castle 1, a motel room on the end of the row. It was perfect, peaceful and so comfortable. The beds were really comfy, lots of pillows and nice quilts. There was a table and chairs, big dresser, microwave and fridge. Unfortunately teb TV was not great, it was stuck on FX and no matter what I did, I was unable to change the channel. No big deal, I wasn't there to watch TV. The bathroom was spacious, lots of towels and great water pressure, always hot water. I loved the chairs on the porch and enjoyed sitting outside. The property is beautiful and it was wonderful to be able to sit by the river and enjoy an evening fire, a walk around and just listening to the river. The office area and library are very comfortable and lots of books and games to enjoy as well as coffee and other hot drinks. There's also a hot tub that can be reserved as well as a coin operated laundry on the property. I am an older solo female traveler and I felt completely safe at all times on the property. The close proximity to all that Estes Park/RMNP has to offer is a bonus, super easy drive to all the attractions, shops and restaurants.

Our stay was excellent. We had the best time. The cabin was perfect, kitchen was accessible and stocked well with all of the essentials. We got a beautiful snowfall! They did a great job clearing the parking lot and keeping our porch clean. Delivered firewood daily. Could not have asked for a more picture perfect winter get away. We will definitely stay here again!!

Room itself was fine. Hot tub was good. Obviously, a little older, as with most around Estes - so not a huge deal. Our only real gripe was not being able to sleep the way we expected, and not very well. The couch pull out bed was… bad. It needs replaced - yesterday. It had some super gnarly stains and smelled horrible. We’ve stayed here before without issue, but we were very disappointed, as this is where our kiddo had planned to sleep. Unfortunately, he wound up on the top of the couch, which was not great. Looks like maybe a third-party cleaning service, so likely just someone not passing this along to management.

Absolutely loved this place. We will definitely be returning again. We felt like we were at home. The place is equipped with everything you need, if you decide to cook your own meals. Having a supermarket down the road to pick up food was a plus. The trolley to take you into town goes by every 20 min or so. The property itself has beautiful sitting areas and you are in walking distance to a couple of restaurants. You would not be disappointed.

A small cabin-type motel-type room looks as pictured, has a small kitchen and a balcony; very good selection of furnishing; all is in good condition; multiple windows and a door all have insect nets and open for excellent ventilation; and the employees are very friendly and helpful, if something is needed. Kitchen is small, but remarkably well designed - I cooked my veggies daily. On the negative side, if I must - and it's not really "their" fault - in a motel settings, noisiness of your neighbors matter. Too enthusiastic talking carries through the wall, in spite of what looks like solid wood panels. So, of our 6 nights there, some nights were better than others. But mostly, we've got what we were looking for, which was some recharging between hikes in the Park.

We stayed in the Great Room and the unit itself was great. We would not return, however. There is no phone service and terrible WiFi so we had to drive to town to make calls and watching a movie was spotty. The place is loud. While sitting in the hot tub, we could hear the neighbors tv blaring and we were woken up early every morning by different things. It is a good family place, but don’t recommend for a couple looking for quiet.

This stay was unforgettable due to location and frequent animal sightings. The area along river was an attraction in itself. The only negative was no having climate controlled room (AC). It would have been less noticeable if the cabins were designed to let heat out of room with windows properly placed at top to let airflow cool room. All and all we loved the placed and would return again.

This was a good place for us to stay while adventuring around Estes Park. It was wonderfully convenient as it is close to the downtown area and close to Rocky Mountain National Park. The staff is very kind! The only mild complaint was the room was warm, despite fans being provided. All in all, we are pleased with our stay!

The entry bridge that was lit up with beautiful white lights, a postcard scene for sure! The river partly frozen nearby. Just beautiful and the surrounding area was awesome! The people who greeted us in the office, very friendly! Cookies were available or hot beverages. Nice little shop for souvenirs. Just a very lovely stay.
