WOW! A bit long but a must read if you’re thinking twice. This was my family’s first time driving through the four corners. I did my research and decided to spend most of our time in Estes Park — one night at the Stanley for the full feel, but also wanted to relax and take in the glorious Rocky Mountains. After some research I found the Woodlands on Fall Ricer and I couldn’t be happier. Checking in on a Monday, staying three nights(which we extended an extra day) and loved every minute. Felt like I had a summer cabin of our own — full kitchen, cute living room with an balcony overlooking the river. The bedroom was a great size with thee most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in. I’m actually sad to go back to my own bed and I love my bed. It’s far enough away from crowds but, close enough to the village and market. The managers(owners son and daughter-in-law) were awesome and very accommodating. I was fortunate enough to check in a bit early and even let us stay an extra day(4 nights total) thank god the next check in was Friday. Only issue was propane tank for BBQ grill was out but a simple call fixed that wonton minutes. I’ll end with — we are planning to return every year for our spring break! Thank you to the Hartzogs!

Been staying here for the last 4 years and will keep coming back! Rooms are wonderful with everything you need to stay a night or a week! The beds as perfect to boot! Nice option to have a grill with each place and the river makes for a nice place to sit next to in the morning. Hot tub is a nice addition to use after a long day of hiking and a fireplace to sit next to that night! Friendly staff and truly feels like a family ran business. P. S. The Christmas cards each year giving updates on there place and upgrades is a great little extra!

Great place! Very cozy, clean, comfortable. Free wi-fi, dvd’s available to rent, 2 miles from the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. Elk and deer roam the countryside. Fully equiped kitchen, fireplace, and outdoor gas grill for each unit. It sits right off the river so beautiful views and the sound of rushing water. Very relaxing!

If you’re going to be visiting RMNP, I would highly recommend this place to stay. It’s about two miles from the entrance to RMNP. The rooms are cozy. The staff was very friendly. We showed up a couple of hours early and our room was ready. They have all the amenities necessary for a long stay, full kitchen, dishes, utensils, and cookware were all there. The room was very nice and clean. Fireplace is there to be used, and wood is supplied when you first get there, but if you want more wood you’re going to have to purchase it. They have books in the room that tell all that’s happening and even give suggestions for hikes in RMNP. You can do laundry there for $ 1.50 a load. There’s a hot tub, that feels really good on a cool day, especially after going on a hike in RMNP… boy do the joints feel good and what a sleep you get after. There’s free movies you can borrow from the front desk, there’s a gas grill outside of your door. You can hear the river run as you relax on the patio. It’s conveniently located so, stores like Safeway are near to you.
