A peaceful place along Fall River. A warm welcome to Estes Park.
Welcoming guests since the 1950s, Castle Mountain Lodge offers a peaceful riverside retreat between downtown Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. Cross our covered bridge and settle into a mountain vacation filled with simple comforts: cozy accommodations, wood-burning fireplaces in select cabins, and freshly baked cookies upon arrival.
Spend your days exploring mountain trails, fly fishing along our stretch of Fall River, or relaxing beside the water. Whether you’re planning a family adventure, a romantic winter getaway, or a few quiet days in the mountains, our Estes Park cabins, suites, and rooms give you a welcoming place to return.
Our quiet setting near Rocky Mountain National Park brings nature right to your doorstep. Watch for elk, mule deer, wild turkeys, rabbits, and other wildlife on the grounds, or find a riverside seat and enjoy the sounds of Fall River.
The park’s Fall River Entrance is just a short drive away, putting scenic drives, hiking trails, and alpine adventures within easy reach. During the summer season, explore historic Old Fall River Road to the Alpine Visitor Center, then return along Trail Ridge Road for sweeping mountain views. These high-elevation roads are seasonal, so check current conditions before heading out.
Downtown Estes Park is also a short drive away. Browse local boutiques and art galleries, stop for coffee, enjoy a meal, or treat yourself to ice cream and handmade sweets. Nearby grocery shopping makes it easy to stock up for a comfortable stay.
Then cross back over the covered bridge, leave the bustle behind, and make yourself at home at Castle Mountain Lodge.
