Can’t go wrong!
You can’t beat the service here! From the minute I booked, someone reached out to me to make sure they’d be prepared for our visit. We don’t love to travel with our dogs but we had to, and their dog friendly suites are amazing. River front, easy access to the patio that locks so you can let your pets sit outside for a bit. Super clean inside and comfy. Well appointed and even had a portable fan. We’ll be back!

A Great Stay at Murphy's River Lodge
Our recent stay at Murphy's River Lodge was absolutely fantastic. Staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. Within 24 hours of booking the stay, I was contacted by the staff and made sure my stay was all set and I had no questions. The lodge itself is beautifully situated right on the river/creek, providing stunning views and a beautiful stay, close to downtown. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. We particularly enjoyed pool area, as our stay was during the winter and the kids needed a place to burn energy. The location was also ideal for exploring the area. I highly recommend Murphy's River Lodge to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable getaway. We can't wait to return!

We just checked out of Murphy’s River Lodge and we couldn’t be happier. We were in Estes Park on an anniversary trip and loved staying here! The convenience of walking to restaurants and all over town is so nice. We also loved being on the river, the pleasant staff and the breakfast every morning!

Finally stayed at Murphy’s River Lodge! It was the perfect home away from home. Our room was very comfortable to lounge in and get some much needed restoration time. We opted for one with an amazing view of the gorgeous trees and river and it was just lovely.
