Stoney River Lodge

Loved the setting and the owner and care taker were great? Parking needs improved. Seating areas overlooking creek were fantastic! Comfort of those areas could be improved.

The lady at the front desk was the sweetest! She was very helpful, the place was cozy, parking was easy, the place was easy to find, we were here for college graduation, and while everyone else was price gouging I felt this place was great for the price. Also I didn’t see the elk but because I missed it, the lady at the front desk showed me some footage of it and some other wild life and I thought that was so cool! Thank you for treating us like family and being so welcoming! I’d definitely stay here again

Clean room

This property was so cute, beautiful scenery and the owner was just wonderful!! We will absolutely be staying there again. One of the best cabins I've stayed at for sure.

Great place for the amount we paid. Staff was very friendly. Beds comfortable. Good location for Rocky Mountain National Park.

The staff was amazing and easy to work with.. the scenery was beautiful plenty to do right on campus and was a quick drive to town. 10 out 10 with be back

Property manager takes great pride in her property and it shows. Amazing service and attention to detail, this HAS to be the cleanest place we have EVER stayed!

Very rustic but beautiful surroundings. Unfortunately office staff is not available between 8 pm and 9 am and we lost hot water at that time so unable to shower in time for an appointment. Staff was not apologetic but offered another room to shower though it was too late. No partial refund offered. Warning: zero bathroom counter space, poor lighting and you have to wash your dishes and take out trash before you leave. You will bang your leg into the metal bed frame LOL! Gorgeous surroundings though!

Nearby restaurants, microwave and frig in room. Very comfortable.

We loved it here. We got great personal service and tour of the property, wildlife included! I would recommend using the space to cook, as all restaurants are about 20-mins away. But still quite convenient as we headed into Estes park anyway. I liked the peace and not being in town. I read and had my coffee by the river in the sunny early morning

Very comfortable. Convenient to Estes park at an better price. Enjoyed fire oit, horse shoes, and board games. Would stay again.

What a great little Lodge. It feels like a cabin in the rooms, the area is quite and beautiful views. The staff was so freindly and helpful. We will for sure be coming back.

100% would go back! Staff was very nice and accommodating when original booking couldnt be honored. Upgraded us at the same price! Also a nice welcome basket waiting for us. Never had a large chain hotel do that for us. Nice view and river is easily accessible for fishing or dunking your feet. Just the stay we needed to de-stress from everyday life.

Stony River Lodge is a little old motel along Hwy 34 between Loveland and Estes Park. Our room was small, but I expected this based on the description and pictures on Expedia. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

Nice place

I stayed at this property a few years ago and came back again. Friendly owners who made sure I was happy with the accommodation at check in. Love that they're dog friendly too.

This location outstanding and the views are amazing. That staff is incredibly accommodating, cordial, and helpful. We will definitely return!

Will definitely come back! Awesome place! Super close to Rocky Mountains, very clean and quiet. Great value for money!

Ceiling light didn't work. Host couldn't repair it until after our stay. Host had very little local info to offer out-of-state guests.

The owner is a lovely person who really cares for guests' comfort. I loved the relaxing area with table & chairs near the Thompson stream / river. Access to where we planned to go was convenient and easy. My only wish was for a corkscrew/wine opener in cabin eight (8). Thanks so much!!

Great experience

great location, only one parking spot included in price. Perfect home base to explore the area

The room was clean, kept and perfect for my needs. The host was welcoming and helpful. I would stay here again for any occasion.

Small and cozy

We loved our stay in the cowboy room. It was a cozy spot that wasn’t too close to major towns, but also wasn’t too far to go get dinner if we needed. Loved having the kitchenette and dishes so we could eat in the cabin when we wanted to!

Stoney River Lodge was the perfect spot to stay for a trip to RMNP. It's a reasonable distance from DIA and RMNP hikes. This place was super cute and had everything we could possibly need for our stay. Our host was also very sweet and helpful. The views from our patio was beautiful and we couldnt have asked for a better stay.

Location

All of the rooms have a theme. Ours was western / cowboy. Some parts of the room were not clean - we were provided a 20-inch box fan (that was well-needed), but it was filthy. We had to wash any dishes we used in the little kitchen, which I didn't mind, but we would have otherwise been charged a fee. I didn't feel really good about trusting every other guest to have washed everything well, so I also pre-washed. The Big Thompson River flows right outside - very nice and relaxing and not noisy at night. No/difficult cell service. No local places to eat. Good value away from Estes Park, which is a lovely place - will be better after they finish road construction.

Love the mountains!

We enjoyed the cute little cabin and the peace and quiet! The ability to be withing walking distance of the river was also amazing. The staff was friendly and we had a wonderful trip. Travel to food or other things was also relatively close with a beautiful drive to get there.

Nice clean lodge just in the middle of estes park and centrum of loveland. ( /- 20 min. Drive)

Gorgeous spot -right across from the River. Owners very nice… reviewed room with us before we checked in. Let a very nice welcome basket and even had doggy treats for our dog! But, going in July is HOT outside. No A/C. Ran fans alls day to try and keep place cool. Also, shower stall needs work. Too small for adult size bodies. Toilet not secured to floor… it moves after you sit or get off of it. Overall nice place. Bonus was the river being right outside our door.

Roughly about 20 miles away from the RMNP

Good area

Nice quiet place to stay for 3 nites. Right next to the creek with a nice sound all night. There is an area with chairs to watch the roaring creek, play horseshoes, a net for vollyball. About 10 miles from Estes Park (E Park is way busy/expensive to stay in)

We have stayed here a few times now, we love this place anytime we come to Loveland and stay. Cozy place, our room had a stove and dishes to use. There are grills available too. The sound of Big Thompson River is so peaceful.

Place was not cleaned. No water at night. The owner told us we would get our money back for 2 nights. She lied to us about it.

This place was cute and totally fulfilled my want for an "Eagle" room. Sunrise was pretty and it's close to everything! Thanks so much!

The Lodge is quaint, fairly isolated, and old fashioned lodging. We found it comfortable, and quiet.

Stayed in the Eagle room. Just like the pictures. Very clean inside and a quiet location. Decent bed and plenty of hot water nothing fancy and the lady running the place was nice.

Old but clean (no smells) and has updates. Owner/manager on property 24/7. Helpful and friendly. Large Apple tree in yard and river view.

Was fantastic. Very comfortable & close to most sights/activities.

Breathtaking views right out the front door, and quiet all weekend.

We stayed in The Bird room and it was perfect for a our family. The lodge is clean and quaint! We would recommend the Stoney River Lodge to anyone visiting the Rocky Mountains.

The location is great if you are looking for a quiet, relaxing location close to RMNP.

Overall, really nice. The location and setting are great. I liked that it was a more affordable option than staying in Estes Park but only added about a 20 min drive. Appreciated the basket of some snacks. Friendly check in. The room is a bit rustic, but they are cabins so I expected that. The main negative thing is that the outside light shines through the door window and there’s no curtain or shade to block it, so if you need it dark in order to sleep, this might be an issue.

Great stay. Amazing staff. Nice property.

Location is closer to river and awesome views and safe place to stay

Beautiful spot. We loved everything about this place and will come back next t

1) The lodge is located in a spectacular CANYON right next to the Thompson River. The scenery of the area differed than one in the NP, and that made our drives back after whole days spent hiking in the NP enjoyable. 2) The location of the lodge in the canyon caused decreased temperatures. We comfortably slept through every night while keeping the windows open. There was no need need for AC or a fan at night. On our last day, we made it back to lodge sooner than on previous days (around 3pm) and enjoyed the afternoon with a fan on. I was cooking while we stayed in the lodge, and never had I felt an level of heat around was uncomfortable. 3) Drive to the NP entrance took about 30 minutes, and on two days we left at 5:00am (before sunset). 4) Linda made an effort to make us feel welcome. We felt as if we were staying at someone’s little house in a canyon. The kitchenette was fully stuffed: pots, pans, utensils, a cutting board, a dish soap, an electric stove (2 rings), a microwave, small size fridge (no freezer), a coffee maker. The bathroom was clean, towels were provided but keep in mind to bring your own soap and shampoo. It makes sense since we have different preferences. There was an access to a coal-grill. 5) We’ll remember our evening conversations and with other guests who stayed next door. Great stay!

Beautiful peaceful

If you’re looking for an off the grid stay this is the place. Tough to get a signal sometimes, but it was doable. TV was sketchy, but I didn’t go there for that. Halfway between Estes and Loveland, so that was perfect for me. Great view of the Big Thompson River. Very relaxing sitting beside the water.

Loved my stay there! Stayed in the bird room and it was more than enough for a solo Traveller. The water flowing from the river outside made it even better especially at night when sleepy. Will come back the next time I’m heading to RMNP!

Wow, what a great place! Owners are so friendly and eager to make sure you have everything you need. Dishes, silverware, small stovetop with pans, etc...even grill utensils and supplies. Very comfortable bed, cozy room. If you are a tall person, be aware that the shower touched the top of my head and the sink is kind of low...and I'm 5'7"! (Buffalo room) But not a deal breaker!! Right on the river and close to all kinds of Colorado beauty. I will be back for sure and have already recommended this spot to several CO friends.

Overall a very good place to stay. Does have a very small bathroom with no storage in the bathroom. Also no hair dryers in room either. Great property and very clean. Management is available if needed.

It was a quiet, lovely place to stay. We were located in a great location for traveling to both the Rockys and Downtown Denver as well as Lake Estes.

Beautiful views, easy access. Elk right out your door!

We loved it!! It was a beautiful location and just 25 mins away from Estes park. We were able to head into Estes park by day and come back by evening and enjoy the horseshoes, games and overall atmosphere. It is situated along the big Thompson river which makes it more peaceful!

The basket of goodies was a nice touch. Loved the little store on the premises. Thank you!

Stony river lodge was cozy, clean and well run. I will be returning.

Visited Estes Park for a family vacation. Found this cute quite lodge. Had plenty of space for my family of four and my parents. Super clean and cute. Could hear the river from the room with windows open in the evening. Very relaxing. Bedding was nice and mattress soft. Towels were amazing! Can’t recommend this place enough. Will definitely be back to stay!!

The rooms were nice and clean. The kitchette was great to use, it was clean and in good condition. It was a nice place to stay in the mountains!

This is a great lodge right on the river. The cabins are well appointed with all that you need. Outside that have horseshoe pits and fire pits. We loved sitting by the river and watching for animals. It is a very peaceful place. Great owners. It’s about halfway between Loveland and Estes Park - perfect location.

Although it was well organized, the room was tiny, and there is no air conditioning. They did provide fans to keep the rooms tolerable, and 90% of the year the heat would not be an issue. This is an older property, but in good condition. As long as you don't have a ton of luggage and don't during a heat wave, I would definitely recommend it.

excellent location, between loveland and estes park, sets beside the river with fire pit, quiet place to sit back and relax , overall excellent place

It was everything my family and I hoped for. The location is superb, each cabin had its own bbq pit, bon fire pits available you could also get charcoal and wood for the bon fire, the view was breath taking

I had a great time staying in the mountains in the Bison room. The owner was very nice and offered plenty of books, games, and other activities to enjoy onsite. It was a very short drive to Forest Service lands for hiking and a 30 minute drive to Rocky Mountain National Park. I would definitely stay there again! Beautiful view of the mountains!

This is a quaint little place. They only have 10 rooms, it was probably built in the 50's. The place is clean and the owners are extremly nice. Just pay close attention to booking a room, Expedia has set up their site so it's a little confusing. You must book by the room name and read what the room includes. However, the river runs right in front of the property, so you can fish right out the front door. It's very peaceful there. There is no air conditioning, but you don't need it, the breeze there is so cool. After visiting the hussle and bussle of Estes Park, it was nice to come to a calm place.

I loved our Moose themed cabin. The decorative details were wonderful! The owners were friendly, responsive and accommodating. The sound of the river out front was lovely.

First of all there is no air conditioning their ad does not say second of all the internet is really crappy and spotty you may or may not get a service there's no phone service no reception anybody needs to get a hold of you in a emergency you are screwed. There are wasp flying above all the doors which I am allergic to. Their add says no trailers permitted and they were trailers there in a very small parking lot. They tried to blame orbits for the miscommunication... Find someplace else to stay ...the shower has no water pressure and is about chest height... He said if you're not completely satisfied with your room and my refund your money and keep the $50 deposit they would not refund no money..

Lori, the owner is so nice and caring. She made sure we looked at the Bear room before we even got to the paperwork, that was a surprise because whenever I have stayed anywhere, they check you in and barely tell you where the room is. I have already booked another stay in August! The sound of the river is just so peaceful and awesome. I do not take vacations or get always. This stay was due to a cattle sorting competition. The next will be because I did enjoy the Stoney River Lodge and just want to get away and I can’t think of a more convenient and beautiful place to go.

But according to the description (hotels.com) and the cost I would have expected at least 1 level up like more service, at least once a week cleaning and changing sheets and towels And enough shampoo and shower gel for the period of stay Fireplace wasn’t working what was a reason of choosing this cabin. And btw staff was very friendly no other complaints, location is very nice and convenient, was as clean as possible

The owners are great. Friendly and willing to do anytjing to make your stay the best. Will definately be back again.

Super cute and comfortable cabin! Everyone was very nice and helpful!

We were pleasantly surprised that the Big Thompson River runs along the property. The hospitality of our host was awesome! We enjoyed our conversations with him and even got a tour of a room that he is currently renovating.

We arrived late and the room was already open and awaiting us. First glance was quaint, old and cramped. Pitiful cheap bed with no box springs and just two pillows. Bathroom was tiny and the curtains were not big enough or thick enough for privacy. There was a decent sized TV and a welcome basket with some snacks and drinks. Sometime during the night, we started smelling fumes of some sort, by 6 am we had to open windows and turn on a fan as our eyes were burning. There was no carbon monoxide or fire detectors to tell us if there was a serious problem and the heater was some 1950’s looking gas heater the likes I’ve never seen. We promptly got dressed and checked out a day early and told the receptionist we wouldn’t be back due to this reason. No offers for a refund just an apology and that they would check it out. So this is not somewhere I would ever recommend to anyone.

Property manager was very friendly and welcoming.

Great location and wonderful, friendly service.

We stayed in Cabin 8 (Buffalo cabin) and really enjoyed our stay. Lori was incredibly nice and helpful! The setting is gorgeous, with the river flowing past. The cabin is small but just the right size for my husband and myself. It was decorated nicely and very clean. I would definitely stay here again, if I'm ever in the area. Also, driving through Thompson River Canyon to get there was a gorgeous drive.

If you are looking for a nice place that’s quiet and affordable this is it. The room was exactly what it looked like online. The staff was very hospitable. They were always asking if we needed anything but we’re never a bother. A wonderful little spot not far from Estes.

Property was located in nice gorge.

Our stay was very relaxing and refreshing. Lori was very thorough in informing us of everything available to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. The view from the cabin was breathtaking. I highly recommend and hope to visit again.

The propery is close to Rocky Mountain National Park and a lovely place to stay. Excellent for two people trying to get away and trying to connect to nature.

This cozy little gem in the mountains is the perfect place to stay. Lori was super hospitable and friendly. You’re literally sleeping at the foot of the mountains. The room was very clean and had everything we needed. Fire pits and family activities to play on site. Highly recommend, we were sad to leave!

This is a nice, rustic location. This isn’t luxury accommodations, but that’s not why you select this type of venue. The setting and river access is fabulous. If you’re like my family, you’ll spend very little time in your room. There are outdoor games available, fire pits and sitting areas. We found ourselves enjoying the beautiful scenery and the Big Thompson river until bed time every day. This is close to tons of outdoor activities to fill your vacation days with.

Bed was comfortable. It had a frig and microwave. Staff was friendly and helpful. It was a very small bathroom with a low small stool and shower making it uncomfortable for a taller person. With no ac you had to keep the window open with a fan which did not feel private. It had a campground feel.

We loved our stay at these cabins. They were clean, fully stocked with everything needed. And the hospitality of the owners was top notch. If the rooms were missing anything they had many other items for use in the office. The grounds were clean, and location was perfect. I would suggest to anyone visiting Loveland, CO.

Great cozy cabin in a beautiful area. Wonderful host.

Great stay!

Excellent stay. Very accommodating with all your basic needs!

Older, affordable cabin type motel close to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. Internet and TV. No cable but streaming services Apple TV, Amazon Prime, Netflix, ect. We had the "cowboy" cabin with authentic motif. Right along the creek. Quiet.

Family operated, nice mountain setting along a mountain stream. Firepit and seating along river are a nice touch.

I loved staying here and didn’t want to leave. I was here for a softball tournament my daughter was in. I decided to stay here for half the trip and in a hotel in Loveland with the team for the rest of the trip. I wanted a good Colorado in the mountains, on the river experience. I did not want to leave.

We had a nice stay but be advised that this is a very old property and even though it was clean it is very rustic. The other limiting factor was there is no place to walk other than the area right on the property since it is surrounded by private properties.

Amazing in every way! Quiet, relaxing! Owners were so thoughtful. Welcome baskets and room included everything you can possibly need including sandwich bags, lighter fluid, charcoal, sunscreen, etc. We had a wonderful stay and would go back again in a heartbeat.

Place was great and clean, had all the things needed to dine in at the rental, staff was super friendly and helpful and beautiful view all around

didn't care to be next to the office, the pictures made it look like it was by the river. We couldn't use the sofa bed for the second bed as the mattress was paper thin and dirty so my neice had to drive to Loveland at night to sleep. There just was no privacy to set outside without the staff wanting to join us. They always sat at the only chairs offered by the river...

The place was so peaceful and relaxing. The rooms are decorated so adorable. We will definitely be back for sure. The ladies that run the place made sure our stay was perfect. Not too far from Estes and we enjoyed the s’mores by the fire pit next to the river. Also played with the horseshoes. Perfect spot for a quiet relaxing getaway.

First off, the staff is amazing. Got a tour upon checkin, free snacks, little store inside the checkin area, and wow they even live there so said if we needed anything after hours just ring the doorbell. This place is not a fancy place but of you arent high maintenance this is your place for a good price. Plenty of fish in the river, firepits, definitely going back many times! They even emailed me after we left because i left some gloves and offered to mail them to me! Cant beat that service!

Check in info from Josh was nice, real nice guy but we we disappointed for sure! Since fire ban no outside firepit option which would've been nice depending on who else is there because everything is VERY close together, there is no outdoor space at all. Keep in mind there is NO food/drink anywhere for min 20 minutes either direction, winding canyon roads very dark at night, bring everything you might need! I emailed days ahead of check in, always check about coffee for first morning..."yes we supply a coffee maker with enough coffee for a full pot each day"... first morning of coffee, NO MUGS, are you serious??!! Why didn't you tell me that in the email & more importantly HOW DO YOU NOT SUPPLY COFFEE MUGS IF YOU SUPPLY COFFEE, DUH! No spoon, stir sticks etc. The room's front door had a curtain over the glass with holes in it (decorative holes like lace) but the entry is right at the bed because that's all that's in the Eagle room,..so anyone can look right into your front door, we had to cover the door with a towel for privacy. There are 2 wooden chairs for you to sit on & the bed, that's all. If you're hanging out in the room watching TV you will be VERY uncomfortable on those chairs. Not here to watch tv but keep in mind Wifi was horrible, couldn't watch local TV without pausing & buffering every 20 seconds. The bed was surprisingly comfortable but we definitely will never return, good luck new owners, spend $20 in that room for 2 chairs & 2 mugs!

Friendly faces and a cozy room! The owners are super sweet. The wifi was spotty, but overall we had a great stay.

Excellent location! Cottages are clean and well maintained. Owners are personable, happy people. It was a joy to escape to this place and leave the angry world behind.

We booked the Caboose room. This is an old, dirty and dusty mobile home, not a cabin. The windows were not closing leaving with big open air gaps, oven was not working, rooms were small and the lighting was bad. They provided heaters and blankets but this is not what is advertised on their site. The room looks way worse than in the pictures and the owner acknolwdged the issues. Stay away!
