We unfortunately didn’t get to stay at the hotel due to an issue with our room on arrival. However, the way the staff handled the situation was outstanding. A member of the team was available straight away, dealt with the problem quickly, and arranged accommodation for us at their sister property, which turned out to be fantastic. All in all, it was a great experience and we really appreciated the excellent customer service.

A lovely homely riverside lodge, located outside of a busy town.

Room was spacious, tv was good, shared balcony overlooking the river. Direct access to the river. Parking right outside the room. The staff were friendly and the dog Aspen is adorable!

Excellent stay and would highly reccommend Ponderosa Lodge.

Location was excellent - very close to one of the Rocky Mountain National Park entrances, and only a short drive into the town of Estes Park. The unit was comfortable, and self catering with everything we needed.

Definitely recommend

Quiet quaint location right next to the river. Balcony was lovely to sit out at. Staff were so lovely and the fresh cookies were great. Loved how there was a living area space separated from the beds - made it feel cosy!

Perfect stay in Estes park

Perfect location, well equipped kitchenette with lovely view - very calm. The best thing was the staff, they were really really helpful and friendly! We traveled with our 3 year old daughter , she enjoyed the small “playground” and the whole location as well! Overall we would definitely come again!
