Top Emerald Lake Hotel Reviews

YMCA of The Rockies Estes Park

8/10 Good

"For the price at Estes Park, this was wonderful!!"

Historic House at Braeside

10/10 Excellent

"Was everything as advertised. View of mountains off outside porch and corner windows in living room was great. Across the rode from property is running stream you can hear and see from outside and dining room window."

Dao House

8/10 Good

"My spouse and I stayed 3 nights in mid-Sept in the lodge which is at the top and back of the property. The driveway up to the top is direly in need of repair. In selecting this property I failed to read reviews; only looked at stars, price and location. So I was a little surprised to discover that the mission of the establishment is to help people disconnect from electronics and a fast pace of life. The name Dao House should have given me a clue. The lodge/room is clean, beds comfy, bath adequate but shower water pressure only okay. The lodge reception area is poorly lit but open with sofas and chairs. No daily housekeeping. No a/c but honestly, didn’t need it while sleeping—nighttime temps were in mid 50s. So leaving the windows open to the balcony for a couple of hours cooled the room sufficiently enabling us to sleep with ceiling fan on and windows closed. The balcony is nice but it is not private; there are no dividers between rooms. The room has NO coffee maker, microwave or mini-fridge. There is a small community mini-fridge and microwave in a banquet room. In the morning there’s a small pot of coffee, hot water for tea, and cut pastry or muffins and fruit. The wi-fi is super slow. Lodgers are asked to limit streaming because it hinders others’ internet access. Being 6-7 miles beyond Estes Park there was no T-Mobile cell service. If you want to slow down and be disconnected from life I can recommend DH. For staying connected to life, stay in Estes Pa"

Beautifully Furnished, Clean, Cozy Cabin Next to Rocky! Walk to RMNP & YMCA

10/10 Excellent

"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!"
