Koenig Lodge is a large, newly remodeled and wheel-chair accessible 5,200 square foot family friendly retreat on the Big Thompson River. Here you'll be just minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park, the YMCA of the Rockies (just 1/2 mile), as well as downtown Estes Park. Enjoy the sights and sounds of the river just outside your door. Fish to your heart's content. Hike the hundreds of trails found in America's first national park, or simply relax with your family in our large great room with fireplace, game table and 12-person dining table.

With two kitchens, three fireplaces, six bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, game room, bonus play room and plenty of space for multiple families to enjoy, Koenig Lodge is great for family reunions, retreats and bigger groups.

Heavenly Place on the River

You can’t beat the location—just minutes from downtown Estes Park and even closer to the entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park. It's the perfect home base for exploring the area.The property itself is absolutely stunning. Set right on a beautiful river, it offers an incredibly peaceful backdrop. Whether you're into fishing or just want to relax, the deck is the perfect spot to watch wildlife—including unlimited hummingbird watching—and enjoy the soothing sound of the water. It's genuinely breathtaking.From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The house is warm, welcoming, and perfectly suited for large groups—our group had over 20 people and there was plenty of space for everyone. We loved that people could spread out for quiet time, but the main family room was spacious enough to bring everyone together comfortably.Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful, scenic, and spacious getaway near the park.

Beautiful Wedding Weekend

We stayed at this property with family and friends during our wedding. We wanted everyone to be together as much as possible since we are from all over the states. It was such a special weekend and coming home to this beautiful house after our wedding activities was very nice. We got to hang out by the creek and go on a hike. It's in a great location and you really get the feel of being in the mountains!

Awesome property

Huge cabin with lots of rooms and bathrooms for big groups. I had 14 people in my group and we were all very comfortable. The game room is awesome for kids, and backed up to the river is great for fly fishing! Very quiet neighborhood and very peaceful. Plenty of room for parking unless you have several big trucks. Only bad thing was downstairs fridge didn’t really work and no ice makers worked. Overall it was a great stay!

Family Reunion Vacation

Beautiful, rustic home with lots of room for kids and adults. Our grandkids loved the downstairs game room. Bunk room was huge and could sleep our crew.. Drawback was no air conditioning which probably isn’t needed most of the year. Upstairs got a bit too toasty. For us in early June. Location is perfect for trips into downtown, other amenities, and Rocky Mountain National Park

Great stay, beautiful house!

We stayed at this lovely cabin during the winter, a large group of 10 (4 adults, 6 kids ages 2-16) and had plenty of room for everyone! The bunk room and playroom were a huge hit! And we were thankful for so many bathrooms! Close to town, easy to get to and we didn't need 4wd. Beautiful views off the deck, right above the river. Didn't have cell signal but they had a landline so that was nice in case we needed to get ahold of anyone. Wifi worked great though (happy teenagers!)! Would definitely recommend and would stay there again for sure! Great hosts also, very responsive and accomodating!

Aspen Brook

Beautiuful home next to a Fast moving creek/river. No need for a sound machine. Just open your windows and enjoy the sound. Our family of 15 enjoyed our stay in Estes Park. Close to everything we wanted to do. Back deck overlooks the flowing river. Plenty of kitchen space and a lower level walks out to the porch overlooking the river/creek.

Wedding weekend

We travelled in for a wedding and the groom’s family stayed here. The space was great for a variety of ages in the family from a newborn, multiple toddlers, 2 teens, to the adults. The river was calming and beautiful and located perfectly outside of town where it was not too far but not too close either. The host was very communicative from booking to checkout. Thanks for a great stay!

Just what we wanted!

We booked this as a relaxing work retreat/team building weekend. It was perfect! The location is just fabulous with the river literally right off the back deck. We enjoyed the walking trails and the great coffee shop/bakery across the street. The house was lovely and gave each family their own space but the living room and game room were such great communal areas! Will likely stay there again!

Family weekend

The property was very nice and easy to get to. The bedrooms were perfect size. The view from the deck is beautiful. The only issues we ran into were the picnic table broke and a family member fell from it. Upon further inspection, the table was separating on all of the seats already and was not stable. The latch on the gate was also broken. Over all it is a beautiful home with Many amenities and a beautiful view. A little bakery is right across the creek and is yummy! We would highly recommend this home
