About Estes Park

Moments from one of the most popular national parks in the USA, Estes Park is a cracking choice for an outdoorsy adventure in beautiful Colorado. Accommodation options are wide-ranging, with everything from simple riverside cabins to luxurious lodges fit for indulgent romantic getaways or adventurous family holidays. The best places to stay in Estes Park are outside the town centre, promising striking views of the rivers and mountains.

The area’s biggest attraction is the spectacular Rocky Mountain National Park, perfect for miles and miles of hikes — some through the snow — and striking wildlife-spotting. Look out for elk, bears, deer, bighorn sheep, bobcats and foxes — sometimes seen from the lovely lodges which form the bulk of the region’s secluded accommodation.

Stroll along pristine riverbanks, try fishing, picnic with the kids or splash around in the clear creek waters. Adventurous holidaymakers will love exploring the region on horseback or taking an ATV tour, whilst more laid-back guests can unwind with a spa treatment or kick back in a wonderful whirlpool tub. As for the town itself, MacGregor Ranch Museum and Estes Park Museum are well worth visiting, as are the shops lining Elkhorn Avenue. Foodies will find a whole array of welcoming cafés and eateries to sample — including some top-notch grills!

Whether you’re looking for an exciting family holiday or a tranquil couples’ retreat, the best places to stay in Estes Park offer cosy rooms, suites and cabins in gorgeous spots perfect for soaking up the region’s impressive natural beauty.
