Rocky Creek Lodge at Estes Park, CO

About

Thirty people across three cabins on two private acres is the math that sells this place. It sits on Marys Lake Road about a mile and a half from downtown and the grounds include a rustic arbor that takes up to 60 guests for a micro wedding, a rehearsal dinner or a welcome party.

Family reunions, team retreats, craft weekends and elopements are the other regulars. Rocky Pointe Retreat, a second property, works as another base for overflow. Guests book direct and the office keeps long hours most of the week, which helps when coordinating a big group by phone.
