Rates vary from around $100 to $300+ per night depending on season and amenities.
Top-rated choices include The Estes Park Resort, a lakefront property with an on-site spa and fine dining, and The Inn on Fall River & Fall River Cabins, which offers cabins with full kitchens and a hot tub. For a quieter stay, 4 Seasons Inn on Fall River features riverside barbecue areas and fly fishing, while The Maxwell Inn provides a year-round hot tub steps from downtown. The Silver Moon Inn and Appenzell Inn both offer fireplaces and river access, ideal for unwinding after hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park.
