Nestled in the pines on the banks of Fall River, The Ponderosa Lodge is a place set apart. You feel it as soon as you turn down the drive, a one-lane road, that winds through the pines and along the river. Enjoy quiet relaxation with the river always murmuring at your doorstep. We aim to provide a relaxing getaway. We are also a great source for local information on anything that strikes your interest in the Estes Valley and Rocky Mountain National Park. Seasonally at night, colored lights, a longstanding tradition at the lodge, transform the property into an enchanting home away from home.
