Estes Park is a small mountain town nestled in the middle of Rocky Mountain National Park. Lodging options are very limited and fill up quickly during August, their busiest month of the year! In the following sections, we suggest a few different options that vary based on each of our guest's possible unique needs.
For couples traveling together on a budget, we suggest pairing up with friends and looking into one of the large condos available at the wedding (Fall River Village) or booking an Airbnb or Vrbo.
For families, we recommend staying close to the venue at the condos on the property at the Fall River Village or staying in a hotel that has dining options. Examples include the Estes Park Resort or the historic Stanley Hotel.
For a complete list of the lodging options available in Estes Park, please visit www.visitestespark.com/lodging/.
Stanley Hotel
The famous Stanley Hotel has been in Estes Parks since 1909. Visitors travel to this hotel for its incredible views, history, and to see where Stephen King's "The Shining" was filmed. This hotel offers a nice dining option, a whiskey bar, and plenty of events and activities.
Chad and Dom's thoughts: Dom found the ghost stories interesting and cool. Chad was not a fan of the hotel's spookiness!
Distance from the wedding venue: 4min drive, 25min walk
The Estes Park Resort
Perched along the lakefront, The Estes Park Resort has an on-site restaurant and spa.
Chad and Dom's thoughts: We loved the yard games they have on their patio and found the lake view breathtaking.
Distance from the wedding venue: 7min drive, 44min walk
Fall River Village Resort
Fall River Village Resort is where the wedding ceremony and reception will take place. This location has townhome and condo accommodations sleeping group sizes of up to more than 7 people. They also offer dog-friendly accommodations.
Here is the link to browse through lodging options. You are able to book online, or over the phone from 9 am to 6 pm MST (970)325-6864. If booking online is easiest, you will want to let the venue know you are with the Spadavecchia-Yelinski wedding and that you booked online so that you can make sure that the 5% lodging discount is applied.

Maxwell Inn
This family-owned inn is a less expensive option for visitors who are looking to be walking distance from the venue. This is for the couple who wants their room to be nice but doesn't need all the bells and whistles.
Chad and Dom's thoughts: We love the couple who own and maintain the Inn. We were impressed with the recent renovations and mountain decor in the rooms. And the couple does all the work themselves! Their father even makes all the wood furniture featured in each of the rooms.
