Top Key Hole Notch Hotel Reviews

YMCA of The Rockies Estes Park

8/10 Good

"Nice place and beautiful location. Property has a lot to offer but things close down too early if your kids are teenagers. We would stay here again but add another night to really make the most of the location and the amenities."

Shadow of Longs Peak #22-Zone3326

10/10 Excellent

"This is an older property sitting on 10 acres on top of a mountain that has been EXCELLENTLY maintained & updated over the years. VERY clean & comfortable with a great deck surrounded by lodgepole pines, aspens, & mountain views. We especially enjoyed the deck for morning coffee & grilling evening meals. We didn’t actually see any larger wildlife on the property, but it is DEFINITELY around. Available wi-fi kept 4 older teens & mom & dad adequately connected. Super responsive host. We found the cabin to be just the perfect distance from town & Rocky Mtn national park. Hope to return in the future."

Swiftcurrent Lodge and Cottages by the River

10/10 Excellent

"Our cottage at Swiftcurrent Was amazing. The location is wonderful, and everyone was friendly and helpful. The Spice Rack bakery/store on property is a huge plus; it was easy to grab delicious coffee, and their baked goods are out of this world. I hope we can stay there again."

Rustic Log Cabin near National Park with Hot Tub & Mountain Views

10/10 Excellent

"Very cute cabin perfectly placed in the woods. We saw wildlife out the 2 big windows that face the mountain every day. Our second evening right on que Susan had a beautiful elk walk out for us to take many pictures. It was a perfect location to just sit and unwind. I told my wife and daughter I needed mountain therapy and boy this cabin didnt disappoint. The hot tub was perfectly placed to sit and unwind every evening looking at the mountains. We also took advantage of the awesome coffee bar she has set up for you. Susan was very quick on returning messages. I had before the trip. Even answered a couple that I had when we first arrived. Would definitely recommend. 10/10."

Casa de Cristal•Sleeps 10+•Epic Views•HotTub•Sauna•Pool•Lux Linens•10Min to RMNP

10/10 Excellent

"If you are looking for luxury with a view, this is your place. I can’t imagine Estes Park having a better place to stay. The panoramic views of the mountains were breathtaking! Hands down, one of the best luxury stays we’ve ever had. The double island and large table in the kitchen was where we gathered most of the time, whether it was eating/snacking and having cocktails or playing card games at night. It was an unforgettable family vacation!"

Steps away from Wild Basin:RMNP- 2-bdrm cabin perfect for adventure or relaxing!

10/10 Excellent

"We loved everything about the Hideaway- location, coziness of the cabin, hummingbirds galore- it was all such a memorable getaway. The kitchen was well stocked and the picnic table outside made for games of cards and evening meals together very enjoyable in the Colorado breeze. Loved our trip!"

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

10/10 Excellent

"Rivendell was the perfect cabin for my family - 8 adults and 7 children ages 5 and under. It had beautiful views from every porch and is next door to the YMCA of the Rockies where you can get day passes for those interested. It is very close to the southern entrance to the National Park meaning you did not have to drive through town to get there. We spotted elk, deer, and turkeys from the decks. The owner was very responsive to any advance questions. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of dishware and flatware (important to a group of 15)."
