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.

“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.
