Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Loved the location, an easy drive to the national park and situated by a babbling stream. The kitchen was fully equipped for us to cook at home, and there was even outside seating so we could enjoy our meal by the stream.
We enjoyed a beautiful long weekend at River Ridge Cottages. Our cottage was even nicer than expected, and it was extremepy close to the Beaver Meadows entrance to RMNP. We will definitely be back!
The best thing was being along the river with a nice trail to sit by the river. The cabins need updating.

The cabin was very clean but unfortunately whatever they clean it with smells absolutely awful and with all the doors and windows open we could not get rid of that smell our entire stay and honestly gave us headaches.

We love this cabin!!! This is our secone year staying here and we'll be back again next. We live an hour and a half away but we like to stay in estes for a few days and this place is perfect!
Beautiful place. Could use more outlets in bedrooms to plug in personal electronics. Other than that, perfect.

Just OK. Our cottage was near a loud road. The room was hot and stuffy during the day. The bathroom, shower, and kitchenette were tiny. Rustic but not in a charming way. Our advice: spend a bit more and get something much, much nicer.

Super cute cottage right by the river. Location, location, location. It is just a basic, clean cabin but the sound of the river is amazing!
Wished we could have stayed several days! Cabins old but well maintained and very clean and cozy. Stayed in cabin next to the river and it was very peaceful.
Quaint cottage in a GREAT location!! Just up the road from everything you want to do in Estes Park. Beautiful view on the river, especially in mornings. Had the 2 bedroom cabin, it was great for our family of three. Great communication!
Very nice stay. Very close to the Rocky Mountain national park and awesome views of the mountains from the rooms.
The unit was comfortable but if you plan to cook and eat meals, kitchen needs some improvement.
Otherwise no issues with the checking in, check out.

Good stay!
This place was very comfortable, quiet and safe. Having 2 rooms, 2 baths and 2 TV's is always a luxury while on our road trip. Although we weren't on the river side, the apartment had character, and was very cozy.
