Stony River Lodge is a little old motel along Hwy 34 between Loveland and Estes Park. Our room was small, but I expected this based on the description and pictures on Expedia. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

Great little lodge in the river

This is a great lodge right on the river. The cabins are well appointed with all that you need. Outside that have horseshoe pits and fire pits. We loved sitting by the river and watching for animals. It is a very peaceful place. Great owners. It’s about halfway between Loveland and Estes Park - perfect location.

This is a quaint little place. They only have 10 rooms, it was probably built in the 50's. The place is clean and the owners are extremly nice. Just pay close attention to booking a room, Expedia has set up their site so it's a little confusing. You must book by the room name and read what the room includes. However, the river runs right in front of the property, so you can fish right out the front door. It's very peaceful there. There is no air conditioning, but you don't need it, the breeze there is so cool. After visiting the hussle and bussle of Estes Park, it was nice to come to a calm place.

Very rustic but beautiful surroundings. Unfortunately office staff is not available between 8 pm and 9 am and we lost hot water at that time so unable to shower in time for an appointment. Staff was not apologetic but offered another room to shower though it was too late. No partial refund offered. Warning: zero bathroom counter space, poor lighting and you have to wash your dishes and take out trash before you leave. You will bang your leg into the metal bed frame LOL! Gorgeous surroundings though!

We loved it here. We got great personal service and tour of the property, wildlife included! I would recommend using the space to cook, as all restaurants are about 20-mins away. But still quite convenient as we headed into Estes park anyway. I liked the peace and not being in town. I read and had my coffee by the river in the sunny early morning

100% would go back! Staff was very nice and accommodating when original booking couldnt be honored. Upgraded us at the same price! Also a nice welcome basket waiting for us. Never had a large chain hotel do that for us. Nice view and river is easily accessible for fishing or dunking your feet. Just the stay we needed to de-stress from everyday life.
