“Pleasant place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 August 2011

My husband and I have stayed at Solitude Cabins a few times, visiting our kids who attend a nearby sleepaway camp. The cabins are pleasant to stay in and generally well-equipped. The front desk people we've dealt with have been friendly. When we've needed help with something (for example lighting a grill whose self-igniter no longer works), the maintenance person has come quickly.

The main drawback is the location: you are right across the road from a school and not really in the midst of the mountain beauty that much of Estes Park offers. The views from the cabins we've stayed in are only so-so. However, the cabins themselves are more up-to-date and brighter inside than many condos that have nicer outdoor surroundings. Also, the cabins are not very spacious for the six people that they sleep, but they will do in a pinch.

I would definitely stay at Solitude again and would recommend it to anyone who wants a reliably pleasant experience.

Room Tip: ask for a cabin with a good grill if you plan to grill... some are better equipped than others

Thank you for the review. We are glad that we offer a pleasant place to stay. We do our best to accommodate the needs of our guests. We would encourage you to request a cabin with a better view. Some of the cabins have better views than others. We look forward to your next visit.

“Simply Wonderful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2011

Solitude cabins provided just that - solitude. Extremely clean, updated cabin with everything that you could possibly need. We saw elk and deer right from our deck and had great mountain views. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

“Our Colorado home away from home!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 July 2011

This is our second time staying at Solitude and we will return as often as we can. Beautiful cabins with a great view! The location is perfect, quietly overlooks Estes Lake and very close to downtown. Cabins are well maintained and the staff is always nice. Wish that the cabins were spaced out a little more, but it worked out!

“30th Wedding Anniversary!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We've been coming to Estes Park for over 30 years. We've stayed inlittle cabins...@The Stanley....small quaint little hotels in downtown but, Solitude Cabins are by far the BEST! When we arrived @ our cabin, a meat & cheese tray, bottle of wine & Anniversary Cake awaited us. We had travled all day and it was such a wonderful treat! We sat on the back deck and enjoyed the mule deer & their fawns... the little ground squirrels & chipmunks were EVERYWHERE! We were warned that the BEAR visit often and to not leave any trash out....we were a little leary to use the nice grill on the deck for that reason.

The rooms are comfy and beautifully decorated..... as well as the living room, kitchen (stocked w/ everything you need for cooking), bath. We washed all of our clothes before heading back to Dallas. Management was helpful and friendly & was very accomodating.

We look forward to our next visit! Perfect getaway for an Anniversay!

“Nice place bad management!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 July 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Excellent kept cabins in a nice environment. My family has stayed here two times and both with excellent cabins. On one occasion my youngest son damaged part of the cabin in which they were more then reasonable for the repair costs. My issue is the Lady property manager and how she is sarcastic and belittling to someone over the phone. When she called on my sons damaged she asked my wife "Could you enlighten me on how the damage occurred." Not acceptable customer service! I called today to see if she had a cabin available that was open and if she could discount it further. When I asked if she could work with me on the price she stated "Thanks but I'll run my business." Issue was not the $ but how she responded. I will never say here again not due to the property, but the property management. They man that did the repair was very friendly. Two instances of bad service both from the same person!

Folks, It is unfortunate that you feel the way you do. As you know we are a beautiful property that prides itself in cleanliness, peace and quiet and yes...service. Unfortunately, it is difficult for guests to understand when they wish to tell us the rates that they would like to pay vs. the rates that we are currently offering. Because we are not in a position to negotiate our rates, we have to stand firm when we are confident that we are offering a very fair and competitive rate. I would hope that you would understand that in management we all have to make decisions that are not always popular and that by no means do we mean to not offer excellent hospitality. We were put in a position of not being able to meet your expectation in an acceptable rate to you and you took offense at the explanation. As you know, from prior times we do work with our guests. It is unfortunate that it is considered "bad managment" because we were not able to accept the rate you wanted to pay.
We greatly appreciate you working with us in the repairs from your last stay. We are glad that of all things you found was that we were fair in our expectation in the repair.
Please feel free to contact us anytime, if you wish to discuss this further.
