Top Emerald Lake Hotel Reviews

Swiftcurrent Lodge and Cottages by the River

10/10 Excellent

"Really enjoyed the proximity to the Big Thompson river and the relaxed atmosphere. We enjoyed our room, the beds were very comfortable, and the kitchenette turned out to be very handy. Had fun watching turkeys every morning right across the river."

YMCA of The Rockies Estes Park

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful and serene. Excellent food. Staff were very nice and knowledgeable."

Walk to RMNP, hot tub, mountain views and river access.

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay. The house is as-advertised. It would be great for people of all ages, but was especially well-equipped for our group - 4 adults and 5 young kids. We especially enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings after kids went to bed. The location is perfect - a short stop from the YMCA and a short drive to downtown Estes Park and RMNP. We've stayed in Aspen Brook once before. We'll be back again one day soon."

"Our stay at Aspen Brook was perfect! It was conveniently located near RMNP and downtown Estes Park. There was enough room for all 5 of us without feeling on top of each other.

"We stayed here with a motorcycle traveling group and really enjoyed the property. There was plenty of space for everyone, multiple washing machines, and a well-equipped kitchen. Everything was clean and well maintained, and the low-traffic street made it especially convenient for our motorcycles. We would definitely stay here again!"
