We very much enjoyed our recent stay at your lodge.  The rooms worked out very well and the location is great.  I would just sit on the porch and watch the water go by.  Our granddaughter keep looking for fish even after you told us that "the fish are sleeping."  Thanks again for a wonderful stay.

  Thanks for a great couple of nights. It was a nice get away and the
surroundings couldn't have been better. We came up just to get away from the hustle of the daily life and the relaxation was super. The views were superb. Will plan on visiting again soon.

  To be honest, after our trip to Rocky Mountains, Mt. Rushmore, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Death Valley, Sequoia/Kings Canyon and Yosemite national parks, and after spending many nights around many hotels and lodges, I must say that our stay at your lodge was the best we had in the whole trip.
I really mean it. Not just because the cabin was nice and cozy (we loved the fireplace!), but because we were welcomed by you as family and we felt like home. Having the river and the national park steps away was amazing too.
Also, I can't praise enough how charmed we felt with Estes Park. Beautiful town, friendly people, sometimes so friendly that we thought we were in a Disney family movie.
I can't really think of any other suggestion than "keep doing what you're doing!".
I hope to visit Estes Park again in the future, and bring the rest of the family to your great lodge, I know they'll love it as much as we did.

Thank you for a great week in Estes Park. The lodge was a perfect location for hiking in the park and the surrounding area and coming home to watch the fish jump in the evening rounded out each day perfectly :) Your hospitality added a warm feel to the entire week.
Swiftcurrent has already been featured in our emails home to family and friends.

Thank you so much for a wonderful & enjoyable stay. Swiftcurrent Lodge was everything we hoped it would be. Coni was so nice and made us feel right at home. The cabin right by the Big T River had all the amenities necessary. We will be back & have recommended Swiftcurrent Lodge to our friends.
Thank you again for a wonderful stay!

GOD BLESS!!!

Favorite Restaurant:  Cooper's

Personal objects were an unexpected pleasure, made it feel like home, not a hotel.  The Swiftcurrent binder was a helpful resource.

We just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful time we had at Swiftcurrent Lodge. Everything was as we expected it to be and you both made our stay even more enjoyable because of your warmth and helpfulness. We really felt welcome as soon as we arrived and it's great when you connect with people, as we feel we did with you. We cannot emphasise enough how your whole approach enhanced our stay with you. We have travelled quite extensively and speak from experience when we say that your service was exceptional. We hope you're having a good season and that the bookings keep on coming, you deserve it. We're about to put a review on Trip Advisor.  Thanks once again for making a memorable holiday absolutely superb.

The lodge was comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, and everyting so clean. The grounds were beautiful and immaculately kept. The creek, snow, and hiking trails were scenes froma postcard. We were visitng Colorado to enjoy the snow and to hike, and so we certainly appreciated the convenience of the Rocky Mtn park right down the road!.We will definitely tell others about your place!

We had a wonderful time in Estes Park and loved staying at Swiftcurrent Lodge. The river right outside our window was excellent as well as reading by the river during the late afternoon.

I have recommended your lodge to numerous people and told them that if they go to Estes Park they should really stay there.

We are back in hot, hot Dallas (104 degrees today) and are starting to plan our next vacation to cooler climates.

Thank you for your hospitality.
See you next year.

"In July 2010 we stayed at a motel in Estes Park and decided to drive around looking for lodges or inns on either the Fall River or the Big Thompson. We came upon the Swiftcurrent Lodge on the Big Thompson and loved the location and "feel" of the facilities. The owners Gary and Coni let us walk around on the property, and during that walk-around, two different couples staying there talked to us about how much they love the place and come back every year. Based on that visit we decided to stay there during our July 2011 visit and were not disappointed! We had a place on the river and the accomodations were wonderful. The scenic views were fantastic, and if you like hiking, there are several different trails from the inn that lead directly into Rocky Mountain National Park. One hike we particularly loved was the hike to Moraine Park, where the scenery is simply awesome. Gary and Coni have owned and operated the inn for 15 years now and are doing a wonderful job of making guest feel welcome and creating a friendly environment. The lodge is just far enough away from town to give it a secluded feel, yet close enough to take a short drive into town to enjoy the amenities of Estes Park itself. We will return again next year."

Thank you again for being so flexible and understanding in my change of plans.  I was just telling my wife last night that when we go back to Estes we should definitely plan on staying with you.  The accommodations were very relaxing and the surroundings unbeatable.

  My wife and I had a wonderful time at Swiftcurrent Lodge.  We enjoyed the balcony view overlooking the river and no doubt will always remember the sweet sounds of the river throughout the day and night.  We also enjoyed the loop walk, and appreciated the lodge's proximity to the park.  I cannot think of anything additional you might have done to make our stay any better, and we appreciated your good cheer and willingness to help us obtain our airline boarding passes.  We will certainly be recommending you to any of our friends who might be visiting the area.

  We just feel like Swiftcurrent is a second home but even more relaxed than home!
We even got to see a bear this year - of course, all we got on the camera was the overturned
barrel!
Last night I was reading what people had written in the journal & I found something written
several pages past the last one.  I was just so moved by it, especially after you & I had talked
about how little control we actually have over our lives.  God is using Swiftcurrent in so many
ways!  You bet we will recommend yours as a great place to stay!

   Hi Gary and Coni,   I wanted to thank you, personally, for my wonderful birthday greeting!  What a surprise and so thoughtful of you!  Those are the kinds of things that make people feel special and make the stay so memorable.  The design is so cute and it's so colorful--I'm going to keep it with my keepsakes.   Coni ... since I didn't get to meet you, I thought I would attach the picture Michael took of me holding up my birthday card so you can see for yourself how happy you made me!   The Swiftcurrent Lodge is a beautiful little gem in the Rocky Mountains.  I'm so glad we found you and that we had the opportunity to enjoy all that makes it so special!   I'm sure we'll be back!

  We had a really wonderful week at your place. The setting was just what we expected, and the unit we had (#10) was just perfect for us. We were able to cook there, and avoid the crowds and hassle downtown. Having the gas grill available was great. The swings by the river were just perfect (I read 3 books!) and we enjoyed the hot tub as well.

We had a wonderful stay at Swiftcurrent Lodge! We left relaxed and rejuvenated and we will be returning in the future. You have a superb location as the river provided a consistent stress-relieving song allowing us to experience night after night of refreshing sleep. Thank you again for the great hospitality and we are already looking forward to our next visit!

We are leaving today, but wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay and visit to this area.  We had a wonderful time and thanks again for the thoughtful acknowledgement of our 23 wedding anniversary when we arrived Friday.  Lots of hikes in RMNP, informal conversations with guests and the beautiful view from your property and hot tub, and the constant sounds from the Big Thompson River will linger on in our memories well into the future.  We'll be back......!

We really enjoyed our stay except that it was too short.  You have a wonderful place, thoughtfully prepared and we will recommend it to friends.  We will likely stay with you again sometime since we were so in awe of the area and were only able to see the eastern side of the park.

Looking forward to coming back to Estes Park. We have been there every other year for the last 26 years, and I'm thankful that we found your place in 2007. It is the nicest place we've stayed out of the many we have tried. Quiet, reasonable rates, and great hosts. Thank you, and see you in June, God willing.

We had a great week and our little cottage unit at Swiftcurrent fit just perfectly.  We'll recommend you to others back home.  Thanks!

We are so glad that we discovered Swiftcurrent 3 years ago.  I have looked forward to being here since making the reservations in late winter.  As soon as I arrived I felt like I was a home and all stress melted away.

Perfect location for Rocky Mountain National Park access and hiking.  Your place has everything I need.

What a great place you have, very comfortable and well equipped.  The scenery and the setting was the favorite place we stayed in our ten day trip around Colorado.  Your greeter "Timber" was fun to visit with and the three Elk that appeared by the picnic area were an unexpected surprise that we'll always remember, I must have taken twenty pic's of them but I couldn't stop because I may never get that close to large bull elk with those great velvet covered antlers again.  Thanks for the memories.

We wanted to let you know that we were more than pleased with our accomadations during the time we stayed with you.  We were pleasantly surprised at the room and facilities as well as the location.  It is always difficult to choose something "sight unseen" and you always have some anixety about it but we were all pleased with our stay there.  We are likely to use your facility again and to recommend it to others.  Thanks for being so friendly too.

Thank you so much for having our room ready for our late arrival and the light on.  We had a stressful day with our car on our arrival day and found nothing left undone by your lodge.  The location is fantastic, so close we hiked into the park daily.  The sound of the water and the beautiful surroundings are perfect for unwinding and relaxing.  We appreciated everything you did to make our vacation more relaxing.  Thanks again and we hope to see you again next fall.

The internet site is great.  I found the lodge to be even better than expected.  Having the sound of the river in our room and the quiet surroundings were so relaxing.  Clean, comfortable and a beautiful location.  We would recommend the lodge to friends and family.

It was a great 4 day stay at Swiftcurrent.  We had a great time.  The room was great and we felt very comfortable around the lodge.  The free Wi-fi was very helpful.  Your hospitality and family atmosphere was very comforting.  If we come back to Estes Park, we will come back here.

A great 5 day stay!  I just returned to Maryland after spending 5 nights in Cottage #1.  Your internet site was an excellent representation of your property - I wasn't the least surprised when I arrived.  Your accommodations were great and very convenient to Rocky Mountain National Park as well as Estes Park and many great restaurants.  Thank you for a very relaxing stay.

Thank you for having us as your guests at Swiftcurrent.  We have traveled all over the country (even the world) and honestly your place is very special and clearly to us, one of the best.  You guys are lucky to be part of such a beautiful Park.  We really enjoyed our stay there and hope to return sometime again.  Thank you very much.

I can't tell you how good of a time we had.  Your lodge is a special place to us.  We were engaged this weekend at your place and have completely fallen in love with Estes Park.  Our room was great and so "homey".  We will never forget your place and are already talking about a summer trip.

Thank you for a lovely three day escape.  I can still hear the river and wish we were grilling dinner outside #2 tonight.  We look forward to our next visit.
 
 
 
 
 
We really enjoy grilling by the river...it's our favorite!  We never tire of hiking the trails in RMNP.  After several visits, we still find pleasant surprises each year.  We really enjoy relaxing by the river.  The sights and sounds are beautiful!  The cottage is always so clean and comfortable.

Thank you so much for your hospitality - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Swiftcurrent Lodge!  The room was very comfortable and it was a joy falling asleep to the sound of the Big Thompson river!  Your location is terrific - we took advantage of the trails behind your lodge into Rocky Mountain National Park several times.

Our Swiftcurrent Lodge stay was wonderful.  If you like fishing and hiking - you will find it straight out the cottage back door.  The lodge location is great, 5 minutes from downtown Estes Park; but off the beaten path, secluded and sheltered from any highway noise and tourist congestion.  The cottage was very clean, well furnished, and comfortable.  The firepit, hot tub and the many benches riverside add to the relaxing atmosphere.  Thanks again.
 
 
 
Dennis & Michaelene
 
We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed your place.  We will recommend your place to others we know who will be coming up to this area.   We couldn't have been more pleased with our accommodations.  It was nice to know that after a day of hiking we could come back and relax.  Thank you.

Thanks for another great stay at Swiftcurrent.  Maybe Swiftcurrent will become my refuge as I hope to be back next year.  You have a lovely place and it's certainly my pleasure to stay with you while I get in some good hiking.

Thank you for the wonderful stay we had at your establishment.  My wife, son and myself enjoyed the constant sound of the river, the afternoon rains and the accessible trails going into Rocky Mountain National Park.  We also enjoyed the well stocked kitchenette that allowed us to cook many of our meals and save our money for other things.  Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

My guests were very impressed with the cottages.  A good value for the money.  Impressed with cleanliness and friendliness.
 
 
 
 
 
I really enjoyed my stay here.  Your cottages are very nice and provide a very "homey" atmosphere.  Your grounds are beautifully kept and your prices are beyond affordable.

It's perfect.  We totally enjoyed our stay - the view from our room was awesome.  Being able to hear the river at night was a beautiful addition.  We've tried several other establishments over the past few years and this is by far the best for us and definately worth repeat visits.
 
 
 
 
 
Beautiful setting, tranquil & peaceful.  Perfect!

Thanks for welcoming us back to the immaculate Swiftcurrent Lodge.  Your attention to amenities was most appreciated, such as the complementary organics and the tiny rubber duckie all dressed up in bow tie, which added to our fun.  Though we had only one night away from home, our experience at your lodge was quite memorable-reading on the sunny balcony as frigid waters swished along the snowy shore, enjoying the Chickadees and Stellar's Jay play tag in the towering aspens and evergreens outside the window, and eating at the topnotch Dunraven Restaurant a short walk from our room.  Just one day surrounded by such elemental beauty truly revived our souls.

Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed staying at your lodge.  I have to say it is probably the most enjoyable and homey feeling place that I have ever stayed at.  You were all so nice and friendly and the place and location was beautiful.  I cannot wait to return for another stay.

Just wanted to say thanks for a wonderful vacation spent there with you.  At the end of our hiking days I'd say, "Let's go home." - you really were our home away from home.  We're ready to come back.  Sure is peaceful there along the river.  Thanks again for being a part of our vacation.

I really enjoyed my stay at Swiftcurrent; you have a great place.  I hope to make a return stay, maybe even next year if life sends me in the direction of Rocky Mountain National Park.  It was very comfortable & relaxing and thanks for giving me a great room in the lodge.  I hope to see you again.

You keep a wonderful inn!  We look forward to our stay with you each year.  It is a refreshing get away from our hectic life.  We love to hike the beautiful trails and sit by the river.

Thanks for all the extra little touches - Welcome Back note, the little duckie - he went everywhere with us , and the keepsake box, as well as your great hospitality.  This is why we keep coming back - is there any place else to stay in Estes?  We don't think so!

1st visit to RMNP and Estes Park.  Excellent place to stay.  Convenient to town and the park.  Cottages were just right for our vacation plan.  Staff informative and friendly.  Sorry we missed seeing the bear.  Maybe better luck next time.  Thanks for a vacation to remember a lifetime.

I was cold and bone tired upon my arrival from Denver, in the rain.  When I found your lodge and opened the door to my room, it made the trip all worthwhile!  I loved being by the river!  Thanks for leaving my light on!  Very nice touch.

Swiftcurrent Lodge is the best kept secret in the Estes Park area!  Nestled by the Big Thompson River, cabins and rooms with very reasonable room rates are afforded the sound of rushing water to lull guests to sleep.  Perfect in its simplicity, Swiftcurrent Lodge offers very personalized service.  A pleasant and easy 30 minute walk from the lodge puts visitors in Moraine Park with breath taking views of Longs Peak, and elk grazing by meandering streams.  Swiftcurrent Lodge is the perfect mountain getaway, and after one stay, is now my family's destination of choice!
 
 
 
Karger

This has been a most delightful stay.  My two walks into Moraine Park were a highlight of my trip and I enjoyed always hearing the river.

We have never been disappointed!  It's always been well kept.  It shows you care.  Gary and Coni, it is always such a pleasant experience to talk with you either by phone or in person.  You make us feel as though you truly enjoy having people come to visit here.  You're good for Estes, I hope they know that
