“The Murphy’s River lodge know how to make you feel at home. Thanks so much for the memories.”
The location was outstanding!! The staff so kind and welcoming. The pool and hot tub superb break from the cold. We loved the little touches of hospitality. We played board games with the family courtesy of the front desk. Free popcorn for the night munchies. Free continental breakfast. At checkout the had a bottle of water for all the guests with a chocolate attached for the ride home. It felt like a lil home away from home for our Murphy family. Yes we did book because of the name. The Murphy’s River lodge know how to make you feel at home. Thanks so much for the memories.

“Expensive for what it delivers.”
Location wise is pretty good, near to the commercial center, which you can easily walk to (10 min). The staff is very friendly. The room size is pretty good and has a small fridge. It has a hot tube, but we didn't use it.

“A really lovely place to stay with super friendly staff.”
Lovely staff - really friendly and offering little touches such as freshly cooked popcorn on arrival, and bottles of water with little chocolates when we checked out. Location was great and very close to the center of the town.

“Great stay with view!”
We stayed at one of the Queen River side lodge on the ground floor. It was room 108. The room was comfortable with a nice balcony. The room was close to the breakfast area, pool and, hot tub. We spent maximum amount of time in the pool and hot tub and really enjoyed it.

“A Great Stay”
Loved the location only a 5 min walk into town, Free popcorn for kids and hot drinks at any time was also appreciated. Great breakfast and loved the outside games Large clean room, would have loved a river view but unfortunately it was 4th July weekend so the place was pretty booked up by the time we made our reservation

“A fabulous stay”
The staff made sure everything was in the right place for a first rate vacation. The bed was comfy and the room large, coupled with a Continental breakfast, we had a first rate base to explore the area, and the town centre is walking distance away.

“Good for a night or two”
The staff was very friendly and it was super close to the downtown Estes area. We didn't check out the pool or other accommodations, but they had little snacks in the office for free which was a nice touch.
