Bruce and Loretta were great. From the time we checked in to check out. We stayed 2 nights in the new condos. Full size fridge, full oven, microwave, dishwasher, king size bed, DVD player, flat screen TV etc. Our room was right on Fall River which was covered in snow! We could still hear the water in the river running... More

Murphy's river lodge is a great small vaction getaway! From the moment we arrived the service was outstanding. The management on site makes sure that everything you could ever want and need is there for you and if not will do what they can to help. They offer a free breakfast in the morning very much the same style you... More

We just spent 2 nights at Murphy's River Lodge in Estes Park. 2 blocks west of downtown Estes, it was easy to walk to downtown and enjoy the shops. We stayed in a King condo with full kitchen and fireplace. The pool is heated to a perfect temperature, the hot tub was wonderfully hot. The beds were very comfortable. Staff... More

Well I returned to Murphy's River Lodge for a New Year's Eve celebration. I had a great time and this again is my favorite place to stay in Estes Park. I recently stayed here in August of this year and had to return. The atmosphere was again outstanding and the one thing I forgot was how comfortable the beds are... More

My husband and I take 'mini-getaways' as often as we can and finding Murphy's River Lodge was an absolute dream. The management and staff were extremely friendly. Our room was absolutely heavenly. The overall experience was amazing....and we look forward to doing it many more times in the future. More

Although my stay was short I had a wonderful experience at this lodge. The room was clean & newly rennovated. The view outside the room was so serene & spectacular. I opened the back door & listened to the calming sound of the stream located just behind the lodge. I look forward to staying at this location in the future! More

Traveling Estes Park the week between Christmas and New Year's without a reservation made me a little bit nervous, but we were fortunate to stumble upon this hotel on the west side of downtown. The front desk clerk was very friendly and helpful, and our king room was beautifully appointed, and very comfortable. I would have given it 5 stars,... More

Great location just west of the village (walking distance). We took advantage of a special for the king condo. The room was beautiful, incredibly comfortable, plenty of space, large bath, very clean! The community room had books, games, a fireplace and was the location for a diverse and tasty breakfast. The staff was always super friendly and engaging! My kids... More

Murphy's River Lodge was a wonderful place to stay. We really enjoyed the pool and the spa. Great couple of days to get away and enjoy the mountains. Very close walk to downtown Estes. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was very spacious and had a fridge and microwave in it which was not expected but really... More
