We are Coloradans who love the Taharaa. It is beautiful year round, but we especially like to visit when everyone else is off at the ski resorts in late winter/early spring. Check the website for deals.

My husband and I stayed at Taharaa Mountain Lodge this past week for our first Anniversary. We took advantage of the mid-week winter special, and booked the Lark Bunting room. I was sad we wouldn't have a room with a Jacuzzi tub, but we're on a budget! Upon arriving at Taharaa, we were pleasantly surprised to find that Ken and... More

This ‘elegant Western’ lodge is 4 miles south of Estes Park on Highway 7. Those 4 miles are more than worth the trip! Taharaa is spacious and clean, away from the crowds and has beautiful views of the valley from every room facing north. The hosts Ken and Dianne are originally from New Orleans and have brought their southern hospitality... More

This was our second time to stay there this past October 2011. I fell in love with the place and people in 2010 and knew this was wehre we were going to stay again for many years to come!! You just don't stay there to sleep, you stay there to relax, enjoy the beauty of the lodge and mountains, the... More

Years ago we drove past the Taharaa and stopped in to get a closer look. Everything about the lodge was delightful, and we knew we'd return to stay. We suggested the lodge to relatives (from NYC) who loved it, and we gave my parents a trip to CO (from the eastcoast) with two nights at the lodge. We had the... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay. Ken, Diane and Heidi were extremely welcoming and made us feel right at home. Our room was cozy and clean and the fireplace and private balcony were added bonuses! We will most definitely be coming back to Estes Park and this is the only place where we will stay!!!!!!

We visited Taharaa Mountain Lodge for 10 days in Oct. 2011 and it exceeded all our expectations. The entire lodge, views, free happy hour and gourmet breakfasts were outstanding. Owners Diane and Ken,were warm gracious hosts. As were Elizabeth, Heidi, and the entire staff. We would definitely recommend this lovely lodge. We can't wait to return!

My husband and I saw Taharaa years ago but had our children with us that trip. The lodge is not able to accomodate children so we vowed to come back without kids someday. We are so glad we were able to come back. What a beautiful, relaxing and welcoming place to stay. Each room is decorated in an individually unique... More

From the moment we saw the lodge and drove up the road, we knew we were in for something special. What a beautiful lodge, both inside and out! We were greeted by name and made to feel comfortable as soon as we arrived. The view from the common area is breathtaking. Afternoon happy hour was a fun way to meet... More
