We had stayed in the Bear Paw side many years ago and got a River Stone room this time. The place is well kept and enjoy that it is on the river. Kitchen had everything we needed and considering the time of year the fireplace kept the place cozy in the evenings. Also my complements to the couple managing the place, they were friendly and made us feel welcome. Great stay.

Property's Favourite Review
Beautiful property along river and close to entrance Rocky Mountain national park. Condo was fully equipped with everything you would need including washer and dryer. A huge jacuzzi tub in bedroom was a plus for sore muscles. The property management couple were very nice. Gave us a few great tips to make our stay better. We loved being so close to town and to entrance to park which each night we would go back to just inside entrance which was a few miles only and view wildlife. Moose, elk, coyotes, deer, and big horn sheep. It was peaceful and quiet there. Unit was very clean. We stayed in the first floor which is best to just walk out to sitting area by river or just sit on patio.. the gas grill was an added bonus.

We try to come up to Bear Paw a few times a year. It is always beautiful, whether it's summer or winter. Units are always very clean. Highly recommended year round. The people in the check in office are always friendly and helpful, too.

This is our second stay at this resort. The owners are very nice and friendly. We made a last minute change to come visit Estes Park again and the owners helped us with a room and found a room for our second night on a very busy weekend for a sold out Estes Park weekend. The condo was beautiful, on the river, decorated great, super clean, and had everything we needed. This property is top notch. Super close to the park and town. Visit during July or august for the hummingbird feeders they put out. It’s so much fun to sit out and enjoy the river and the birds. We have wonderful memories here. The Walkers

Great location, steps away from the river and couple of miles from town. Full kitchen and nice bedroom with a jacuzzi. The management company was great. We encountered no problems with anything. It is not the ritz Carlton but very nice for a rustic area. Highly recommend the place.

There is nothing better than relaxing next to a mountain stream. Riverstone definitely delivers with soothing sounds of the Fall River right outside your door. The unit itself had everything we needed to prepare our own meals which was a plus since we don't eat out much. Our teen granddaughter enjoyed having her own room & bathroom in the nice, roomy loft space. It was nice being close to RMNP entrance and also nice to be visited by a majestic bull ELK on our first morning there. We love Estes Park and won't ever look anywhere else for a place to stay when we return!
