Wished we could have stayed several days! Cabins old but well maintained and very clean and cozy. Stayed in cabin next to the river and it was very peaceful.
My family had a beautiful stay at River Ridge cottages! We stayed in cottage 6. It was exceptionally clean and was so nice to see and hear the river from the porch, and great location!!

Enjoyable stay.
The facility was clean and comfortably . There was a small water leak in the bathroom. The shower was small but usable. Enjoyed my stay.
It is definitely a decent place to stay. I could definitely use some updates though

We were in Cabin 6 which was quite roomy, We loved sitting on the balcony in the morning looking at & listening to the river while we had our coffee. Easy drive to Estes Park downtown, The Stanley Hotel, & entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. Wonderful communication with the staff who would briefly check in each day to see if we needed anything.
