Top Estes Park Hotel Reviews

Coyote Mountain Lodge

Coyote Mountain Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"The 2 bedroom we stayed in was super nice. Nice big living room, full kitchen and big, two bedrooms...one with a king and the other with twin beds. We only stayed one night but really enjoyed the property. The motel are older rooms (we didn't stay in one of those) but they appeared to be nicely maintained. Our 2 bedroom was part of a newer unit that seemed to be a pretty recent addition. Great views of the Estes Park Mountain from the unit too. Easy walking distance to Hunter's Chophouse and a great Italian place called Antonio's. Lake was nearby. Overall a great spot. A bit pricey but we stayed during peak in August."
