“Likely the best in Estes Park, CO..”

Rams Horn Village Resort

Apr 29, 2007
7/12 found this review helpful

At first we were not very impressed. The place has no charm, no atmosphere, and the people running the place were rather impersonal.. that being said, the place is pristinely nice. A campground is directly behind the complex, and the cabins are squeezed very tightly together. If privacy is your goal, stay elsewhere, or ensure your cabin is not part of a duplex. The mattress, as always, sagged in the middle. That being said, everything you could possibly want is within the cabins. Dishwasher, sink, disposal, trash cans, napkins, dishes, plates, silverware, cofee, tea, cofee maker, tea kettle, shampoo, moisurizer, fridge, microwave, living room, DVD/VCR with movies to check out (free), vacuum cleaner, fly swatter, immaculately clean, new place. Every detail has been thought of, from hair dryer to shampoo, to dining table.. the place has zero "mountain charm," and feels like an apartment complex, but is pristinely nice. We stayed in a duplex, and heard the neighbors' TV through the wall, but that did not prevent sleeping as much as the horrible mattress. The place seems brand new, amazingly clean. What puts this place above the others we looked at: the location. 1/2 mile from the Beaver Meadow Visitors Center and Rocky Mountain National Park entrance. Also, the place is on HWY 66, away from the noise and traffic on Fall River, or HWY 36. We hardly heard cars. I would caution anyone staying here during tourist season, however, as a campground with RV hookups is literally right behind Rams Horn Village.. and it appears a resort will be built one day across the street from its location. Secluded this place is not, but then again, neither are Woodlands, Boulder Brook, Glacier Lodge, Rockmount, Alpline Trail, or the scores of other places at which we looked. This place is likely the nicest place to stay @ in Estes, but after we saw some other places, such as Windcliff, and others, we'll try somewhere else just to be a bit more remote. This place is cheap during offseason, 2 nights for $229, should easily be $229 per night. Two bedrooms, one king, one queen, living room, two full baths, living room, two TVs, cable TV with HBO, access to movies, hottubs (were locked up, oddly), a clubhouse with computer/internt , wireless internet within the units, gas grills (seems two complexes each share a gas grill), dedicated parking spots, 3 minute drive to the RMNP entrance. Cons: impersonal staff, "blase'" atmosphere (seemed like an apartment complex, even with assigned spaces). Pros: clean (absolutely spotless), huge, all in-room amenities for home-cooking. FYI: timeshares are a ripoff, so we simply stayed here. Hardly any mention was made regarding timeshares. Best restaurant in Estes: Topnotch Cafe, next to True Value Hardware.

Management Response

We were perplexed by the April review of blah114 and appreciate the opportunity to respond.

Rams Horn Village is an RCI Gold Crown Resort scoring in the top 1% of nearly 4000 RCI Resorts Worldwide in Overall Vacation. Our Hospitality, Check-in Experience and Staff Responsiveness were at 100% in our most recent report. Unit Quality scores are at 98% placing us in the top 2% of RCI Resorts.

The homes are furnished in a mountain lodge style decor. We have received many compliments on the warmth of our interiors, and I can't ever recall in 18 years here being compared to an impersonal hotel. In January all of our master bedrooms received brand new, top of the line Simmons Healthsmart beds. Our Guest Services Manager checked the beds in this particular home after this review and could find no sagging.

We have built only about half the density allowed on a site of this size. However, it must be remembered that Estes Park is nearly built out, is completely surrounded by public lands, and land here is expensive. It is therefore common for resorts accommodations to be rather close.

However, we are blessed with thousands of acres of National Park and Wilderness to enjoy. Personally, as a long-term resident of Estes Park, I would rather have concentrated development in a small area without vacation homes spread throughout the outlying wilderness as in so many other areas of the west.

We do have a campground next door, adjacent to some of our homes, as do some other resorts. Our owners and guests have peacefully co-existed with the mostly upscale campers next door for decades. We are bordered on two sides by National Park. We are the closest resort to the Park entrance.

Our $229 spring rate was a great bargain, and in fact our rates go as high as $309 per night depending on season. We are proud to be Estes Park's only Gold Crown Resort and work very hard to provide our fractional owners and every RCI and rental guest with the very best vacation experience each and every time.

While blah114 found us terrific in many areas, we are sorry that he was disappointed in our hospitality and decor.

Thank you for your time and for the excellent source of information for travelers. My husband and I use your site often for our own getaways!

“Excellent Stay”

Rams Horn Village Resort

Sep 24, 2006
2/2 found this review helpful

We spent a week at Ram's Horn Village with our daughter and son-in-law. What a cozy, comfortable condo! With two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a gas fireplace in the living room, a fully furnished kitchen and large dining room, there was room to spare. It is a stone's throw from the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park, our main reason for being in the area. We look forward to staying at Ram's Horn again!

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — Spacious, clean, comfortable, excellent location near Rocky Mountain NP
    • Disliked — The heating was uneven in the condo - very warm in the downstairs bedroom/bath.
    • Tips/Secrets: — Read the resort guide in the unit- lots of great hiking, shopping and restaurant info. Be aware of altitude sickness and give yourself time to acclimate to the higher altitude.

“Best place in Estes, from Iowa”

Rams Horn Village Resort

We just returned from Colorado. This place was perfect for us. We are a family of 4.....2 teenagers. Having the pool (which was very clean) every night was great. We stayed in #15. It was very roomy. One bathroom and bedroom on main floor and upper level. Just wanted to comment that everything that was mentioned about this resort is so very true. We loved it.....

We spend a week at Rams Horn in July 2006. The place is first class. The homes are well maintained and clean. The pool and grounds are excellent. The staff is friendly and did everything to make sure our stay was fun. The setting (right outside Rocky Mountain NP) is perfect. In short, the whole family had a blast.
