I struggle writing this review because Beth and her events team were amazing!! She was great to work with and very flexible. I am a strict vegetarian and Chef was very accommodating (stating he would dump his fryer, clean it, and use new oil that didn’t cook meat). The flow of events was perfect and the views were amazing. The whole lodge was bought out by our guests, so it was so fun to be around our loved ones! The issue was, on Sunday after the wedding and check-out, we heard our guest’s experiences with lodging. First, it appears that the plumbing did not work (looking at past reviews, this seems to be an ongoing issue with the property). Two room’s did not have water from the shower. These guests had to use other people’s shower’s (which ended up being 4 people to a shower). My sister-in-law’s toilet would not flush at all. These issues would have been frustrating enough, but what really was tough was how it was handled by management. When my father-in-law approached the manager, she told him to use a plunger, and when he told her that was not working, she told him there was nothing they could do about it and walked away. Also, when guests were checking in, she seemed flustered and made them wait until there was a larger group to do a check-in. If she was kinder about it, it wouldn’t have been an issue, but for my uncles, she made them stand outside, not giving water or the code to go inside, which at 85-90 degree sunny weather was unnecessary. Lastly, when my husband and I checked in, she told me I could have my breakfast in the bridal suite. I told my bridesmaids staying at the property that I would have a scrummy breakfast for them, but if they wanted to eat their breakfast from Taharaa they could eat it in the bridal suite. One of my bridesmaids tried to do this, was yelled at, and so my bridesmaids had to eat in the dining hall area, which separated the group and pushed back my hair and makeup artist’s schedule. It just seemed unnecessary for so many of my guests to be treated rudely. To be clear, I had none of these issues (I was treated very respectfully), but almost everyone approached Matt and I with a story they experienced. This reflects poorly on my husband and I. We had the most perfect wedding in such a beautiful area, so I would strongly recommend getting married at Taharaa and working with Beth (she was very professional and everyone loved the food–not always the case with weddings; 5/5 recommendation), but until they fix some of the plumbing and hospitality aspects, I would not recommend having guests stay in their lodging (Except for their honeymoon suite, this was a very lovely room; we would give them a 2.5/5 review for lodging). As an aside, we were told we could not hear cars at the ceremony site. Our ceremony was so lovely and beautiful, but if future couples are wondering the same question, you can very clearly hear the passing cars. Nothing we could do about it, but just wanted to let y’all know!

Beautiful lodge. Very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay. Breakfast was great but portions a little large. Late Check-in process was easy and clear. Definitely a great place to stay while enjoying the National park. We marked the room down to 4 stars only because it lacked Kleenex and cups. We did eventually find cups in a customer service center on the first floor but bought a box of Kleenex for the room. We expected those things in our room.

Our stay at Taharaa Mountain Lodge was awesome. The views are amazing. Having coffee delivered to your room first thing in the morning is the best. The made to order breakfast was great The room was cozy, very clean and the gas fireplace makes it’s nice. Having dinner at Twin Owls Steakhouse was the best. The staff at both the lodge and restaurant took very good care of us. Could not have asked for anything else. Highly recommend staying here and we will definitely be back.

We loved our stay here - the breakfast each morning was so good and the room service coffee was such a nice touch. The staff were all so nice. The views are breathtaking no matter where you look. The only downside is the water pressure in the shower was poor and one night the hot tub wasn’t warm - but definitely didn’t ruin our stay!

Taharaa is a friendly, small hotel with a great outlook over Estes Park. We were in town for a family wedding, and Taharaa was just the right base for us: close to town but not too close. Our room was very comfortable; breakfast was simple but tasty; and most of all, the hospitality was excellent. We also enjoyed dinner one night at the Twin Owls steakhouse. Highly recommended.

Best wedding venue we could have asked for. Beth was unbelievably helpful throughout the planning process and the rest of the staff went above and beyond to make us/our guests experience perfect.

Great experience - service was amazing, everyone helpful and courteous, made to feel welcomed and appreciated. Room comfortable and pleasant, only issue was AC unit on porch produced hot air that made sitting outside a little less comfortable but still overall give the property and staff two thumbs up!

This is a true Colorado mountain lodge! I LOVED the views of Rocky Mountain National Park from my balcony and the breakfast room. The gas fireplace in my room kept things cozy on cold, windy nights. The rooms have good sound insulation, which is surprisingly rare in Estes Park. The staff is kind and welcoming. The included breakfast is a full meal with a couple of options to choose from each morning. I visited by myself to recharge before the Holidays, and I'd also recommend the Taharaa as a romantic getaway.

Beautiful views! Employees were great. We stayed in the Taharaa Suit which was nice and spacious. Breakfast was tasty!

This location is absolutely stunning. The staff are all so wonderful. The rooms are cozy. I wish we weren't so busy for the weekend we were there to take full advantage of their amenities, sauna and Jacuzzi, but it'll just give us an excuse to visit again.

Lovely location and views! The room was a bit dated (the twig headboard that was screwed to the wall was quite shaky and needs to be reattached) but comfortable and had a nice sitting area with pretty views out the door to the balcony. Nice big bathroom. Breakfast was tasty and served on time. We did a late check-in with no problem. Just contact them ahead of time and get the access code for the front door. The strangest thing for me was that in the 2 days we were there, we never saw any host(ess) staff. It wasn't like a hotel; it wasn't like a B and B. No "front desk" person to ask typical questions to, no host to welcome guests and give local guidance. It was like the place was being run by some unseen ghost, and it just felt weird. At one point, we wanted to ask for umbrellas before heading out to sightsee, and we had no idea how to get that question answered or who we would have asked anyway. We just ended up taking some umbrellas in the foyer and hoping they belonged to the lodge and not to other guests. At this price point, I'd expect the host to be around at least during the day, wearing a badge to identify himself/herself, or introducing himself/herself to guests.

We had our wedding reception at Taharaa Mountain Lodge in August 2023 and it was wonderful! Beth and Kathy were a great help in planning the event and the day-of-event staff were very kind, professional, and accommodating. We all had a great time and the views were stunning!

What a wonderful mountain getaway. Close to Estes and yet far enough away. So close to Rocky Mountain National Park. The rooms were so comfortable and clean. The staff was so accommodating. We’ll definitely be back.
