Booking Lodging
Estes Park is a popular tourist destination, especially in the summer. With that, we recommend booking accommodations sooner rather than later, if possible. Some hotel and house rental options are listed below to get you started.
Hotel
Silver Moon Inn
This hotel has a nice variety of room options, including 2 and 3 bedroom apartments and more standard queen and king hotel rooms. It has A/C, is located walking distance to downtown Estes Park, and is right on the river. There is a 3 night minimum.
Hotel
The Maxwell Inn
This hotel is family owned, has A/C, and is walking distance to downtown Estes Park. It is also among the most affordable of the options we found (per Estes Park standards), but only has 24 rooms. They start booking 1 year out.
Hotel
The Estes Park Resort
The Estes Park Resort is a higher end option, located on Lake Estes, and with an attached restaurant and spa. It is on the pricier end, but we do have a room block for those interested in this option (also feel free to look at prices via other avenues, such as Booking.com, as they may actually be cheaper). To book a room within the block, call the Front Desk at (970) 577-6400 and reference the Pollak/DeGroot Block, or use the attached link to book directly online.
Hotel
Colorado Cottages
These are the cabins that Simon and I stay in each year for our February Estes Park trip! We love them, but they are rustic, so not for everyone. Each cabin has a kitchen or kitchenette. One of the more affordable options for Estes, located just down the road from our venue, and right next door to our welcome reception location.
Hotel
The Appenzell Inn
This hotel has a nice variety of room options, from a 2 beedroom condo, to suites with kitchenettes, to more standard queen and king bedroom hotel rooms. It has A/C and is about a 7-10 minute drive to downtown Estes Park and a 10-20 minute drive to the wedding venue. There is a 2 night minimum.
Hotel
Estes Mountain Inn
This inn is right next door to The Appenzell Inn and similarly has A/C and a variety of room options. It has a 2 night minimum and is one of the most affordable options (per Estes Park standards).
Hotel
Hotel Estes
This hotel has nice mountain views, is right down the street from The Appenzell and Estes Mountain Inn, has A/C, and mostly has standard queen and king hotel rooms.
Hotel
Stanley Hotel
The Stanley Hotel is well known as the site of inspiration for Stephen King’s The Shining. The rooms are on the pricier end, and there is no A/C, but it is an iconic Estes Park option for lodging.
Hotel
Romantic RiverSong Inn
This is (likely) where the bride and groom will be staying, along with members of their wedding party. If some wedding party members choose to stay elsewhere, other guests will have the option to stay here as well.
