Winter In Estes Park

Not only is the snow fall beautiful, but the peace and quiet is in abundance. Winter in Estes is the time of year that allows us all to take a step back, breathe and rejuvenate within our beautiful mountain setting. If you’re thinking about taking a vacation or a quick getaway to the Rocky Mountains this winter, let us give you a few ideas to plan the perfect, relaxing trip! Whether you prefer a relaxing indoor retreat or a winter outdoor adventure, here’s a few helpful tools to guide your experience:

STAY INDOORS OR GO PLAY OUTDOORS!

If you’re looking for a nice indoor setting with beautiful mountain views, we suggest either staying in one of our many cabins (many have a fireplace, but you must book those specifically) or a lodge room (which includes two free breakfasts)!
