Historic Crag's Lodge has been around since 1914 and offers free internet and kitchenettes, plus a seasonal restaurant with views of Estes Park. The four-story, non-smoking Crag's Lodge has 33 rooms with Wi-Fi and cable TV. The rustically decorated rooms have kitchenettes with mini-fridges, stovetop burners and coffeemakers. Relax by the stone fireplace in the hotel's lobby after a long day of hiking or cross-country skiing. The View Restaurant serves Italian-inspired American cuisine from mid-May to October and provides a wonderful view of Estes Park. The hotel has meeting space for up to 200 people. Parking is free. Crag's Lodge is in the heart of Estes Park on Prospect Mountain, a few minutes from the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park, Roosevelt National Forest and Lake Estes. The proximity to some of Colorado's fabulous national parks means that hiking, cross-country skiing, whitewater rafting, horseback riding and mountain biking are all nearby.
Fort Collins-Loveland Municipal Airport is 39 miles away, and Denver International Airport is 77 miles from the lodge. The Historic Crags Lodge is one of the top-ranked among guests in Estes Park, admired for its "great location," which is "near town but far enough away to feel as if you were in the mountains," as well as its "peaceful grounds" and "rustic feel."
