For the last 5 summers, we have used Bighorn Mountain Lodge in Estes Park, CO for our "end of the Summer" retreat site. We have had 20-25 of our friends attend this annual retreat. All of our friends have enjoyed their stays.This property is a rustic 1950's motel - lodge. The lodge is clean, comfortable, and reasonable. There is a large banquet - meeting room that we have used over the years for our meetings. The back porch of this meeting room faces a splend view of the Rocky Mountains. We have had many meetings on this back porch. Outdoor grills are available for grilling meals. This family-owned lodge is family friendly and very welcoming to our group.

My wife and I have stayed at Bighorn Mountain Lodge over the last 7 years for our anniversary in June. This is not a "new" property. It is clean and comfortable with a lot of character. We love staying here.

Estes Park is beautiful at the foot of Rocky Mountain National Park. The village has wonderful resturants and retail stores.

Our family stayed at this hotel, because there weren't any other openings; Labor day weekend. Very dissapointed at the price we paid for this small utdated room. It was dirty and unkept. I could not wait till the next day when wwe checked out. We had reservations at a cabin in Allenspark. Beautiful rustic cabin on a scenic drive from Estes. We had a choice of air condition or refrigerator at Big Mountan Lodge. What people don't realize is ,you do not need air condition in the mountains. This place was gross and I would not recommend this to anyone. If you are going to go to the mountains, stay in a cabin or lodge.

Have stayed here twice. First time our family had a reunion here. Second time on our own. American owners live on site and are very responsive to any needs or questions. Tho the motel is not new we found it to be clean, quiet, and convenient. Many upgrades and room improvements were noted upon our second visit. We found this motel to be a refreshing departure from the predictable chains. Great views and location. Have seen elk in the parking area.

I have NEVER written a review on a hotel room because I believe that you get what you pay for. But after being charged $117 for what would barely be considered a budget room, I felt compelled to inform fellow travelers. I travel quite extensively both domestically and internationally for work, so I have a firm grasp of what is to be expected at $100 for lodging. I'll let the pictures I've posted speak for themselves, but take special notice of the thinness of the foam mattress over a box spring if you have a bad back.
