We stayed at the Ponderosa Lodge in May. The fresh mountain air, the hot tub with the snow falling,the beautiful hiking, fresh coffee each morning and the wonderful staff.....a treasured moment. We can't wait to return. It was perfect thanks to MaryAnn, Walt and Jim.

My husband and I stayed here overnight in March. We were traveling around the state and made a stop here. The rooms were comfortable and clean, and the same for the bathrooms. These were no frills rooms, but quite adequate, in a great surrounding, and a very friendly host. We would stay here again.

We just came back from a weekend at the Poderosa Lodge in Estes Park.
We had a great time. The room was spacious, very comfortable and *very* clean. Maryann is wonderful and makes you feel home, taking care of every detail. After a day on the park I was disappointed not to have seen the bighorn sheep, but to my surprise while I was resting in my room I saw a few outside the room, near the creek that passes the property. :-) I would definitely recommend this lodge. We had a wonderful stay!

The staff at the Ponderosa make you feel like family, The rooms are
spacious,and overlook the fall river! Elk sometimes roam thru the
property,and Walt is there to teach you fly fishing!
Maryann will tell you where all the good places are to eat and to shop!! Shadow the resident cat is queen of the lobby! It is close to the entrance of the Rocky Mtn National Park,and the grounds are immaculate, a restfull retreat!!!
