I give 5 stars to support the nice lady who owns and runs the lodge and for the excellent value. We stayed in “The Bird” suite. The Stoney River Lodge is not a hotel per se, but if I had to make an equivalence to a chain, I would say The Bird is like a Travelodge motel with no air conditioning, multiple rooms and a kitchen. 

The Bird has two rooms; one is a bedroom with queen bed, and the other room has a second queen bed, a Roku TV and a small full kitchen.  There are 4 wooden kitchen table chairs in The Bird, with no softer chairs and no desk.  When we were in The Bird during the day (mostly we were out at the Rocky Mountain National Park, or in Estes Park), my son spent his time lying on the bed watching the Roku TV while I laid in the bedroom on my iPad.

There were also two box fans in The Bird.  It got hot during the July week we were there. Do not think that it will be cool during the summer because it’s in the mountains.  The hottest day when we were there was 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees C.), too hot for us to stay in the room, so we went down to Loveland from 6PM-9PM. I underestimated the heat (my fault) and I do not think I would stay again at The Stoney River Lodge in July or August.

Cell phone service was spotty but the free WIFI was excellent and WIFI calling worked fine.

The setting is nice next to the Big Thompson River (you can fish in it), but there is also Highway 34 beside the river and you will hear the vehicles driving; it’s a busy road.

There are no restaurants nearby; the closest are in Loveland around 20 minutes away. Estes Park is 25-30 minutes away.  Keep in mind that these drives are twisting and turning with lots of major elevation changes.  If you like that kind of drive then you will have fun.  I found it fun the first few times, but after that it was not fun. If you are planning to visit Rocky Mountain National Park on multiple days, consider the convenience of staying in Estes Park vs the lower cost of staying at the Stoney River Lodge.

Excellent value, good setting, with some drawbacks

We really enjoyed staying 2 nights here. We spent the days exploring at the Rocky Mountain National Park. We were personally greeted by the onwer who wanted to make our stay the best. She even left us some goodies to enjoy while we were there. It was a small room but had all that we needed. We were able to prepare some simple meals which we love to do while we are traveling. It wasn't airconditioned but fantastic to sleep with the windows open at night with need for our blanket! Very quiet. Very relaxing place to stay. We would go back whenever we return to the area.

A little place for some peace

We really enjoyed our stay.  Very nice owners and clean place.  We spent a lot of time right down at the river just relaxing and watching for animals on the mountain across from us.  We stayed in the Bird, which is on the end and really liked it.  Although it's set up with 2 beds, I don't know that there is really enough space for more than a couple of people, but for two, it was spacious enough.  There is a fridge, microwave, all the dishes and silverware you need, fluffy towels, comfy beds, etc.  There is a charcoal grill at every cabin which is nice. We would definitely stay again.

Great little lodge right on the Big Thompson River

This is an adorable little resort with GREAT customer service - we stayed for a week and would've loved to stay longer. Cabins are well stocked for cooking some meals in and there is a nice outside area for each cabin to enjoy nice weather. Would love to stay here again!

Great location! Great Resort!

We stayed here four nights. Two adults and three kids. Great location between Estes Park and Loveland. The owners are great! Very senic with great views of the mountain and stream. The cabin was outdated but very clean. I was great having a kitchen. Full fridge, stove top, toaster, coffee pot and utensils. We played some of the games provided and badminton. We would definitely stay here again!

Great Place!

What an awesome, clean, well decorated and dog friendly place on the Big Thompson.  So many outside activities for all ages, clean, cute and cozy accommodations plus the nicest staff.  This is a must place to stay summer, winter or fall.  A hidden gem between Loveland and Estes Park.


RESORT TYPE AWESOME VACATION SPOT

My wife and I stayed in the Wolf cabin for our honeymoon and we absolutely loved it. The owner was very friendly and was quick to respond anytime we needed anything. Would definitely consider staying here again. Situated about halfway between Loveland and Estes Park, so it was very convenient to go to either place.

Nice quaint location

This was our fifth stay here, always in the Wolf cabin. The sound of the river at night is very relaxing and we always sleep well. Wolf sleeps four, but it has always been just the two of us and sometimes our Husky as well. Very comfortable with or without the dog.
 We have been here in May, July, & September and loved it each time. Bordering the  Big Thompson river & highway 34 makes it both relaxing, and easily accessible to Estes Park, RMNP, Loveland and many of the local attractions. 
Campfires are across the driveway on the river for just relaxing and watching the water flow by, fishing, or waving at the jealous travelers go by on the highway.

SRL is under new ownership, but Lori, Josh,& Sandi are very friendly and were very accommodating. The Lodge and Cabin have  fresh paint, new 32" "Smart" TV's, new kitchen silver ware,  much improved internet speed with more improvements on the way. Don't worry, the they are maintaining the same rustic charm that drew us there the first time.

Cozy,Rustic, & Quiet

Spent three nights this past weekend for a fall get away to the beautiful Colorado Mountains.  This was our 2nd time staying here and it was fantastic!  Great Place to stay, reasonable prices, friendly owners!  Thank you again for your sharing your property with us!

Quiet, Clean, Mountain Get-A-Way!

Tend to like rustic cabins, settings in general over luxury hotels. If this is you too, you'll love SRL. It is what it is -- basic lodges of various sizes and various amenities. Ours was the most basic with just a microwave and small refrigerator. It was clean, well kept, and cozy. Make no mistake, these are old and the sinks and tubs are too. But, it's well maintained and clean. Only downside for us is it was a bit of a drive to Ft. Collins, but its location for access to RMNP, is great. BTW, the couple that owns/operates the place are great! So friendly and welcoming.
