Swiftcurrent Lodge

What guests think

Swiftcurrent Lodge earns consistent praise for its riverside setting steps from the Big Thompson and convenient access to Rocky Mountain National Park, with many guests highlighting clean, comfortable cabins with kitchens and friendly, accommodating owners and staff.

Guests also appreciate amenities like the hot tub, and one review mentions an outdoor BBQ and dining setup, while several enjoy the pastry shop next door. A few note drawbacks such as steep stairs, a tight driveway, limited accessibility to some areas from upstairs units, occasional small rooms, and a firm bed. Expect a peaceful, scenic base for exploring RMNP and Estes Park.

The cottage was very small, just one big room, and the driveway into the property was very tight. Very clean.

Beautiful area with lots of close by activities to do, and super close to Rocky Mountain National Park. We especially loved having access to the hot tub after our long hikes!

The Swiftcurrent Lodge exceeded my expectations. It's a perfect place to stay for a Rocky Mountain hiking trip. The river running in the back, the perfect size cottages, bbq and outdoor dining set-up, the location so close to the park entrance. All of it. Amazing. Loved it.

Very beautiful view of the river and the sound would put us to sleep at nights. No A/C but you don’t need it because the weather is so mild. We live in South Texas so we didn’t figure it would be that nice first of June.

We have stayed 3 times. The first and Third trips were difficult as they were upstairs units with 60 degree stair incline 16 stairs. The second trip was a cabin experience which was wonderful. My recent knee surgery made us check out of upstairs room. Just to painful. We stayed 7 nights of the 8 night stay.and forfeited Last day . The facility needs private handicapped parking. We also did not have River access or barbecue pit access. The balcony chairs were beach level chairs. Expensive stay with no amenities.

What a wonderful hideaway as a base for 2 Brits abroad to explore the Rocky Mountain National Park! We have loved every aspect, from the cosy cabin, the humming birds on the back porch, being lulled to sleep by the beautiful river to the delicious gluten free muffins from the bakery, made specially! Thank you so much! Cath and Stephen

Swiftcurrent lodge was the best! Can’t wait to go back. The setting was exactly what I had hoped. Quiet property. I really appreciated sitting and relaxing near the water and the views of the Rocky Mountain National Park through the trees were gorgeous. Beds were comfortable. Good quality dishes, and supplies available. Seemed to have fresh paint and a recent remodel. It was a Best Friend trip. We came without a vehicle and the summer free shuttle picked us up right out front. Was no problem for us not to have a car. Estes park FREE summer shuttle system perfectly clean and on time. The spice rack coffee and French pastries next-door was unexpected and amazing. Definitely go to Bird and Jim’s for dinner and Stanley hotel for cocktails (if that’s your thing) And if you’re looking for some tattoo artistry, we loved RedRum.

The weather didn't cooperate which of course was not the property's fault. The bed was not very comfortable for me, a bit too firm, so it was tough for me to sleep well. Other than that, it was a great place with good people. We had an amazing trip and this beautiful property was warm & cozy.
