Top Emerald Lake Hotel Reviews

YMCA of The Rockies Estes Park

10/10 Excellent

"Best deal around"

Swiftcurrent Lodge and Cottages by the River

10/10 Excellent

"Such a great little spot! Clean and cozy, great location to the park and not too far from downtown but out of the fray! Would absolutely stay here again!"

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. The Spice Rack was within walking distance. Def check it out for coffee and pastries. Communications leading up to and during our stay were clear and concise. The check-in and check-out couldn't have been smoother."

"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!"
