Got a groupon for a visit. The cabins and lodge look beautiful from the outside. However, once you get inside the cabins they were in need of heavy repairs. The carpet and flooring in the cabins warranted keeping your shoes on for fear of what was IN the carpet. Young staff that didn't appear to know what they were doing.... More

We stayed in Mid September 2012. I am by no means picky but I was shocked by the conditions of the Elkhorn. When you pull up to the Elk Horn the first thing you notice is the out buildings with broken dirty toddlers toys laying all over, cracked windows with sheets for curtains and garbage laying about. While the lodge... More

This place is awesome and people that don't like it need to stay in a holiday inn with a spa and room service and hint of western decor, not a historic working ranch. You don't go for the pampering, but there's a lot of reasons to go still - We got 2 family suites and a chuckwagon diner and horseback... More

The floor boards in the hall were very squeaky and the wi-fi was amazingly slow (other people were watching movies on their laptops so it might have been might computer). Having said that... The price was amazing, I enjoyed waking up to the soft sound of horses galloping around, I walked to main street for breakfast and coffee every morning,... More

I saw a 2 night stay at the Elkhorn Lodge on Living Social & thought it was a good way to celebrate our 42nd anniversary. We were to stay Sept. 30 - Oct.1. I'm surprised I'm still married. We stayed in the lodge. They had us booked in an upstairs room. When I opened the door, the bed nearly filled... More

What a blustery brisk weekend to enjoy my oldest granddaughter's 13th birthday horseback riding getaway!!! We were greeted by wonderful friendly Colorado style cowpokes and wranglers. Our ride and steak dinner was our first evening and we were delighted to ride in a blanket of fresh fallen snow. We finished up right at dusk and enjoyed a very hearty steak... More

We stayed at the Elkhorn on October 19th and 20th. The staff and all the people who work on the grounds were GREAT people. We stayed in a cabin on the ranch, not in the main lodge. The cabins are basic, but that is what I would expect when I stay in a cabin. It had a very large and... More

The negative reviews for this place are NOT EXAGGERATED! I bought a TravelZoo coupon for a continental breakfast and 1 1/2 hour horseride at the Elkhorn Resort.

The Elkhorn Lodge is a wonderfully rustic place to go and stay and relax - without having to be bothered with the hustle and bustle of being in a modern hotel/motel. The staff were very accomodating and friendly as well as very knowledgeable about the history of the lodge and the founding family who started the lodge. We had 2... More

Spent Friday and Saturday the 12th and 13th of Oct in the Main Lodge at the Elkhorn. Everyone was very laid back. No stress checking in, our reservation was immediately pulled up and the man at the front desk gave us our room key and instructions to get to our room. Room was pretty basic but had a TV, bathroom... More

The Elkhorn Lodge is the oldest continuous operating lodge in the Rocky Mountain region and is the most historical property in Estes park. Dating to 1874 when Reverend McCreary from Ft. Collins built a small summer cabin on what was to become the Elkhorn property, to today's struggles to save and restore this jewel of the West, the Elkhorn Lodge has been and continues to be a major part of Estes Park. With a fully functioning main lodge, cabins galore, and several spacious buildings for large parties, there's accommodations for any and all at the Elkhorn Lodge and Ranch.
