Top Bear Lake Hotel Reviews
Riversong Inn Retreat
10/10 Excellent
"One of the greatest hidden gems I have ever come across. Incredibly high-quality stay, perfect place to spend a night in Estes. Breakfast was top tier, and the room was immaculate and well stocked with everything. We were not able to use the fire place, but they made up for it by putting a little box of treats out for us. This is 10x better than most of the franchise hotels in the area and I would highly recommend you give it a try. We will come back in the summer for sure!"
YMCA of The Rockies Estes Park

Luxury cabin w/ river, hot tub, borders Natl Park
10/10 Excellent
"This cabin was absolutely stunning and made of beautiful ponderosa pine! Truly a beautiful cabin! Way too big but we made ourselves comfy & the hot tub was the perfect destination to ease our aching muscles after a nice hike! It's a beautiful, large hot tub that gets nice and toasty and has wonderful muscle soothing jets! Host was ultra attentive and helpful and truly loved our stay there!"

Unique A-Frame! Just 1.5 mi to Estes & RMNP entrance
10/10 Excellent
"This was the second time my son and I stayed at the A-frame. We love it here! It’s so cute, with a large kitchen area that is well stocked with everything one might need. Morning coffee on the deck is my happy place! The location is perfect, too. We hiked to Moraine Park in RMNP from here and enjoyed the fall colors. We were also close to our favorite restaurant - Rock Inn Mountain Tavern. We look forward to returning! "
