Columbine Inn has been our favorite place to stay for years. I've stayed at half a dozen other…read moreplaces in Estes and Columbine is the most affordable with the most to offer. We walk to Lake Estes, it's next door to Antonio's (IYKYK) amd they have a free breakfast and a hot tub Rooms are immaculately clean, and they have the cutest decor, super upgraded. Most rooms at other places are just kinda dingy and old. (amd not this level of clean). Nicest staff ever, helped me immediately when Priceline screwed up my booking and I needed a room for an additional night last minute the week of the 4th of July! SUPER busy week and she helped me out when she didn't have to. Always great service. Seriously you can't beat staying here!!

The room was a little small, but what would we do with more room? There is an outdoor deck,…read moregazebo, and lobby if you need options for seating. The whole inn was completely remodeled and expanded around 2023, so everything is clean and attractive. The font desk lady was very personable, friendly, and helpful. See the pictures of their rooms at their website to see what to expect. We would definitely stay here again if in Estes Park.

But the website photos seemed a little misleading to what I experienced. And for the price, c'mon now. For one night in Estes? I know it's summer. I know it's a few miles from one of the most incredible national parks on the planet. Not enough bang for my buck IMO. The room had two queen beds, a refrigerator, desk, TV, etc. The basic setup. When I tried to shower in the morning it was ice cold and never warmed up. I wanted a to-go coffee in the morning on the way to the park, but the coffee was lukewarm at best. Also, the outdoor trash cans were overflowing and the door to get inside was jammed multiple times. None of these were ideal when you're lugging around a lot of stuff and only have two hands. The hotel is surprisingly big with an indoor pool, a game room with multiple pool tables, and a few dedicated seating areas. They often get elk walking around the hotel, too. When I checked in, the gentleman who took care of me was extremely polite and helpful. I can't stress that enough! For close to $300/night it's hard to justify. Most things could've been better. It provided me with a clean, warm bed and at the end of the day, that's all a person can ask for.

Trip the general manager was so helpful and accommodating-we did our hikes based on his recommendations and were very happy. View is pretty from outside our room. Parking was plenty and convenient.

We had a waffle and coffee or oatmeal/cereal before we started our days.

I'm only giving Estes Park Yoga five stars, because Yelp won't let me give them ten stars!! My…read morebuddy and his fiancé scheduled a destination wedding in Estes Park. A bunch of us decided to stretch the trip into a weeklong vacation. I figured I would find a local studio to take a couple of classes. Back home, I practice at a hot power Yoga studio. I wasn't sure what to expect from a more traditional Yoga studio like Estes Park Yoga, but I figured I would check it out. It was so great, I ended up taking five classes!! I would have taken a sixth class, but I would have been late for my flight home. My first class was with Kerry, the owner of the studio. She's a very warm and welcoming instructor. She gives plenty of cues, and focuses on proper posture. We held poses much longer than I expected. It was amazing! In hot power yoga, we work on moving through the poses and building heat. Estes Park Yoga is different than what I am used to, but it's different in a good way! I also had classes with Rachel, Diana, and Elizabeth. They were all great too! Again, very warm and welcoming, holding poses longer, and a lot of focus on proper posture. I felt great after every class. It was exactly what I needed for sitting on a cramped flight, hiking around the Rockies, and sleeping in a hotel bed And then there is Adrienne! Adrienne has the best Yoga story I have ever heard. Are you unsure if Yoga is for you? Stop by the studio, take one of her classes, and chat with her. Fifteen years ago, she broke her L1 and L2 vertebrae in a snowboarding accident. Doctors told her she would be paralyzed from the waist down, and in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. She powered through with Yoga. She attended 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training in a wheelchair and full body cast. After a few months, she was walking around again. You would NEVER know that she was once paralyzed. She exhibits zero signs of any physical damage. These days when she's not practicing Yoga, she rock climbs, and chases her kids around. She's also a phenomenal instructor. I'm so happy she shared her story with me. If she can do it, you do it! Make the trip to Estes Park to visit this studio!! I'll be back again soon (I hope).

Separate living room for workaholics who need a little privacy away from the party; gigantic, fully-equipped restrooms; and lovely balconies with decked out seating areas to have coffee and reflect on life make this property a slam dunk for any party. More than reasonably priced, especially in the Rocky Mountain National Park area; where there are lots of either overly pricy or questionably renovated properties (if not both). Further, if you book during a peak time in which AmEx and Rakuten promotions align, while having Gold or above status with Expedia, the value goes through the roof. I would have nothing negative to say about the property either way, but that the price is as attractive as it is, only serves to really reinforce stayability for every party, for every occasion. Breakfast is small but complimentary and was not expected. They have hard-boiled eggs for the health nutty traveler; which, if you plan to eat out anyways to maximize trying local offerings, as I tend to do, is still beneficial in that restaurants rarely give enough protein or protein per carb/fat. Not a mutually exclusive breakfast, it is a great supplement for the fitness enthusiast who all-too-often is belabored by inadequate nutrition while traveling. There are certain aspects of the rooms which may be a bit dated, but if observed closely, you will notice that it's a work in progress; I have no doubt the owner and staff are doing a great job, and they likely acquired the property in worse condition. That is not to say that there are certain elements of the property which are in good to excellent / above grade condition. Given all the above, I say this simply as mention rather than as detriment; to inform the audience rather than critique or offset the value consideration of a stay. Still superb. Lastly, on the occasion I visited, I was blessed to see a herd of elk outside of my balcony the morning I woke up. My pictures do not adequately capture the size and splendor of the herd. It was lovely and something I will never forget. Their vocalizations are interesting - you will see what I mean, should you encounter them. Conclusion: Recommended with high confidence.

The team were all super friendly and made the process of getting ready super simple. After a short drive, we arrived at the camp where we began the hike to get our gear. The hike up was fairly easy and pretty short. Once at the cabin, maybe 3/4 of the way up, everyone was given their gear after a thorough demonstration of how everything works. Very reassuring! The last leg of the hike was a more intense, but very doable. About 35-40 total hike time to the start of the Via Feratta. It was intimidating staring at the mountain, but TJ was able to make things a lot lighter by joking around. Without TJ and his calm and supporting energy, I would've never been able to complete the Via Ferrata. Overall, the Via Ferrata was a lot of fun. It was no where near how difficult I thought it would be. If anyone is conceding doing this challenge, do it! You won't regret it.

One of our favorite amenities was the gas fire pits, where they offer complimentary s'mores every evening, which was a fun touch. Our biggest downside was that the rooms do not have air conditioning. We personally like sleeping with A/C, so this made the room a little warm at night. The bathroom was also quite small, but since we were only staying one night, it wasn't a big issue. One thing visitors should know is that this property is not pet-friendly. If you're traveling with a dog, you'll need to look elsewhere. Another thing we loved about Estes Park was the wildlife. We saw several elk casually walking through town! They're incredible to see, but it's important to remember they are wild animals, so be sure to keep your distance and admire them safely. Overall, we had a great stay and would recommend Misty Mountain Lodge if you're looking for a comfortable place with a charming mountain atmosphere.
