Let’s cut to the chase—there are lots of places to stay in Estes Park, but none deliver the experience quite like Murphy’s Resort. If you’re looking for more than just a bed to crash on after exploring Colorado’s majestic Rockies, we’re the place for you. Here’s why.

A Stay That Feels Like a Hug From the Rockies

Think big, cozy rooms with plush beds that practically whisper, “Take a nap.” Picture mountain views right outside your window that make your morning coffee taste just a little better. Whether you’re booking a romantic getaway or a fun-filled family weekend, we’ve got spaces tailored to your vibe—luxury suites with Jacuzzi tubs for the lovebirds and comfy family rooms for your crew.

Amenities That Go Beyond “Just Nice”

Our amenities aren’t an afterthought—they’re an experience. Start your day with our complimentary breakfast and wind down in our year-round hot tub. Feeling adventurous? Grab a complimentary bike and hit the trails, or challenge your travel buddies to a game of bocce ball or shuffleboard.

Fire pits? Check. BBQ grills? Double check. We’ve even got s’mores kits on hand—because who can resist a gooey marshmallow by a crackling fire?

Smack Dab in the Middle of the Action

Location is everything, and Murphy’s has it nailed. We’re minutes away from the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park—the haven for hikers, wildlife watchers, and anyone looking to soak in jaw-dropping views. Stroll down to Lake Estes for paddleboarding or fishing, or take a sunset walk around its stunning shoreline.

Hungry? There are two fantastic restaurants right next door, and for a little history and intrigue, the Stanley Hotel is just up the road.

Bring the Whole Family—Furry Ones Included

We get it—your dog is family, too. That’s why we welcome furry travelers with open arms and pet-friendly accommodations. So, no one gets left behind on this adventure.
