Thanks Ponderosa Lodge!
Pros:

Very home-like. The balcony that overlooked the river was a calming experience.

Cons:

Although due to the season air conditioning wasn't needed, the room got a little stuffy with no air movement.

Would recommend this property.
Pros:

Cozy and captures the essence of a lodge style accommodation within the Rocky Mountains. The public outdoor balcony overlooking the river was lovely, and the hot tub was a nice way to relax after a day of hiking and exploring the national park.

Passing through Estees Park
Pros:

Very beautiful location. The room smelled good, it was very clean. We would stay again if we go back for a visit.

Cons:

We had had a long day on the road and when we got to our room we just decided to order a pizza. When we used the microwave to reheat the pizza the microwave malfunctioned. We notified the property manager but they didn't have an extra one on site. I would just make a suggestion to keep something like that around. Otherwise it was a great stay.
