We've been coming to Deer Crest since 2003. We went somewhere for a change a few years ago and were reminded why we like Deer Crest so much. No smoking on the premises and no kids are big draws for us. The nice lawn and easy access to Fall River right out the back make for a very relaxing place... More

My wife and I stayed at Deer Creek Resort for one night around the Thanksgiving weekend and it was truly amazing. We were planning on staying at Stanley, but were put off by the price. Deer Creek was great value for money. We were given a large room with a King bed and a fireplace. The room itself was ery... More

We stayed in one of the fireplace mini-suites in October 2010. It was ideal for us: The resort is adults only, it's close to a park entrance, and the room had a small kitchen. We could leave before sunrise, do whatever photography and hiking we had planned for the day, and come back to a cold drink, a warm fire,... More

I stayed here earlier this year and it was perfect. I recently stayed at the Stanley Hotel and wished I had stayed here again instead. This is not a luxury resort but it has everything you need: 1) Nicely kept rooms that are comfortable 2) Hot water 3) Great owners 4) Hot tub 5) Snowshoes! 6) Fireplace 7) Kitchenette with... More

Spending the Thanksgiving holiday in Estes Park and at Deer Crest was a delight. I had stayed here previously and found the same great accomodation and friendly welcome. I was pleased to note that the owners are continuing to update and improve their property. Its location close to the entrance to RMNP and on the Fall River is a delight.... More

We arrived in Estes Park, CO without reservations. We stopped at the visitors center and picked out some brochures, took them to the desk, friendly clerk assisted us with picking resorts open and having rooms for one night. We chose Deer Crest and what a prize it was! Just a short distance from downtown. Nice wooded area with babbling brook... More

Deer Crest is a lovely resort in Estes Park, CO. It is located right on the Fall River. You open your door (ground level) and walk just a few feet & you are at the river. If you like the Rocky Mountain National Park it is only a couple of miles up the road. It is only a mile or... More

Like many others, we have been returning annually to the inviting atmosphere of the Deer Crest. This quiet and peaceful retreat is owned and managed by Ken, Carrie, and their lovely daughter, Nicole. This friendly family welcomes you with graciousness and efficiency. The motel sits directly on the banks of the Fall River. Most room balconies and patios face the... More

Spent 5 nights here in the middle of Oct. We are repeat customers of Deer Crest. We like the 300 series rooms called the "fireplace mini suites". The owners checked us in like we were old friends. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The grounds are kept up very nicely. One night we checked out... More

We stayed at Deer Crest for a week in September and had a room on the upper level by the river. The room was very clean and well maintained. We stayed here several times before so we knew that it was not the latest decor but we felt that the cleanliness and great maintenance was more important. They could stand... More
