Had a wonderful stay at McGregor's. We stayed in one of their Columbine Cottages and it met all expectations. Awesome views of the mountains right from your front window. Bird feeders were busy our entire stay and we saw many birds we would never see back on the East Coast. The cabin was private, clean and well stocked. The bed was very comfortable and we really enjoyed the whirlpool bathtub after a day of hiking. The hosts were most helpful and gracious. Everything about our stay could not have been better. Only 1/2 mile from the Rocky Mountain National Park, convenient to town, abundant wildlife, rustic yet with all the modern conveniences. Just a perfect place. Would love to come again. I don't think Estes Park has a nicer place to stay than here.

Perfect! I scouted several resorts, lodges, and cabins in the Estes Park area and we chose McGregor Mountain Lodge because it was located ½ mile from the entrance to the RMNP and for the outstanding view from the room. This location is NOT hidden away in the valley along Hwy 36.
When we checked in we were greeted first by their two dogs Daisy and Trevor. The fireplace was blazing and the smell of fresh baked Chocolate chip cookies was in the air.
After a speedy check-in we were off to our room. We stayed in the lower Chalet Suite #15. The room was dated but very well kept and very clean. Our kitchen was fully stocked with a microwave, stove, and large refrigerator. They also provided brand name coffee and filters. The water even tasted good right out of the tap. The bed was comfortable and the heater kept us cozy at night and easy to control. Furniture was even nice to sit in for a little TV in the afternoon.
We hiked the first day behind the lodge just to give the legs a wake up call. Great hike I must admit.
There were plenty of things to see and places to roam. Views of the mountains are awesome and the wildlife is everywhere.

We will definitely be back as we have already booked our next stay for 2007.

This lodge is beautiful. The owners are friendly and helpful. The views are gorgeous and we'd definitely return. A superb base for exploring the National park. We self catered and, though our cabin was small, it was very well equipped. Compact and bijou - please note that we opted for the smallest! If you like the idea of eating breakfast on a verandah with hummingbirds above your head and chipmunk at your feet, then this is the place for you.

We stayed here for a week and weren't impressed. The beds were uncomfortable and neither of us slept very well while we were here. Although the room was clean, my husband and I both had a hard time breathing due to the dust throughout the cabin. Our other complaints besides the cabin being near a busy road, was that the bird feeders they have in front of every cabin were always out of seed (they filled them up occassionally, but they always ran out). We ended up buying our own seed just to feed the birds. There were some positives staying here, the view is great, lots of wildlife and very close to the park. However, if we came to Rocky Mountain again, we would stay somewhere else. We stayed in 2 different cabins while we were here (#4, #6) and had similar problems with them both.
