Top Bear Lake Trailhead Hotel Reviews

Cabin Retreat • Updated • Rocky Mountain Views • Backs to Rocky Mountain Park!!!

10/10 Excellent

"Quiet and peaceful. Loved sitting on the deck and watching all the hummingbirds. Hearing the wind in the trees and the river below was very relaxing. Close to Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park."

"Historic Mountainside Cabin At Braeside" Pet friendly.

10/10 Excellent

"Had all necessary items to make our stay seamless. Very convenient to be so close to RMNP as we had several early starts to beat the timed entry. Cabin gets stuffy during the peak heat of the day but rotating fan & open windows with a cross breeze alleviate that quickly. Front porch was one highlight for us. You can’t beat hearing a constant rush of water from the river below. The crockpot was the real MVP as we came back from a hike to a savory meal ready to be devoured."

Rivendell Log Cabin - walk into RMNP! Continental Divide Views! Large Hot Tub!

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful setting and exceedingly comfortable home with amazing decks, views, living spaces and access to hiking and all that Estes and Rocky Mountain have to offer. Truly a fabulous place. And how can you not love the name Rivendell and all that evokes!?! The communication with hosts, and their willingness to ensure we had a wonderful stay, was truly outstanding."

Swiftcurrent Lodge and Cottages by the River

8/10 Good

"The location was awesome right next to the national park. We had a babbling Brook behind the cabin. There was a hot tub that was great for morning coffee or an evening beverage. The room was very clean very nice and I highly recommend recommended to anyone who would like to stay."

The Rose Den - Romantic Mountain Cabin with Views!

10/10 Excellent

"Thus cabin met and exceeded our wants and needs for our weekend getaway. Neat little place, very private, very romantic. Snd we woke up to 7 deer in the front yard. We want to set up a family trip in one of the larger cabins soon! Great communication, and will recommend to everyone!"

Divine Destiny Vacation Home at Windcliff

8/10 Good

"Unparalleled views and a welcoming host made our stay really enjoyable. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware, and a policy of leaving behind nonperishables was appreciated. The 4 car attached garage made loading and unloading on a snowy, windy day convenient and pleasant. There were a few maintenance items we had to contend with - the most impactful being one mattress that was collapsing and no CO detectors (which I guess aren't required at VRBO, so we will bring a portable one in the future). All in all we had a wonderful time."
