Murphys River Lodge is a charming motel located within easy walking distance of downtown Estes Park, and is a few miles from the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. The room was spacious and clean, and the included breakfast hit the spot. There is also an indoor pool and hot tub. Overall, it's a great place to stay when exploring the Rockies!

Our family stayed at Murphy’s for a family wedding. The accommodations were comfortable and convenient, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. It was an ideal location for our three families, as it was close to the wedding venue, next to a great restaurant, and within walking distance to town.

We enjoyed our February stay at Murphy River Lodge! There was plenty of available parking and we were able to easily walk downtown for shops and dining. It is a short drive to the Rocky’s.
