Coyote Mountain Lodge is a quaint value motel with large windows and a deck offering beautiful views of Rocky Mountain National Park peaks. The property is near a busy main road but still feels removed. Elk and deer occasionally wander by. The A-frame lobby is charming with windows that face the mountains. The reception area has a lounge with comfy brown sofas, an old tube-style TV, stone accents, and a picnic table near a kitchen nook with coffee, snacks, and beverages. There are also board games and acoustic guitars available in the lobby. 

Located north of Lake Estes, Coyote Mountain Lodge is near busy Big Thompson Avenue. A few restaurants, markets, and shops are within walking distance and it’s a quick four-minute drive to downtown Estes Park, where there are lots of options for entertainment, cocktails, and dining. Kirk’s Flyshop is downtown as well and offers fishing tours. Rocky Mountain National Park is a 24-minute drive west from the lodge while Rapid Transit Rafting is only four minutes west by car. On the other hand, Denver International Airport is an hour and 30 minutes southeast by car, and getting to Roosevelt National Forest takes two hours and 15 minutes. 

The lodge offers motel rooms, two condominiums, a log cabin, and a vacation home. Earth-tone furnishings, carpeting, classic wood furniture, mini-fridges, microwaves, tea/coffeemakers and air-conditioning are also in most rooms. Retro/Vintage rooms have furnishings from the 1970s for cheaper prices. Condominiums feature living rooms, dining rooms, and lovely mountain views from decks with grills. The cabin, on one acre, has two bedrooms, pine-wood designs, and traditional decor while the Otis Vacation Home has six bedrooms, three bathrooms, one-acre of property, and two large patios with beautiful views. Some rooms have tube-style TVs and no air-conditioning. Outdoor hallways also offer mountain views. All rooms and units come with free Wi-Fi. 

The Coyote’s outdoor heated pool is standard for a budget hotel and only open seasonally. An above-ground hot tub, though, is open year-round. There’s also a grill on the deck. The lodge offers a 1,700-square-foot event center that features wooden flooring, large windows, and a patio deck overlooking the stunning mountain peaks. The space can fit up to 120 people and features a bar counter, tables, chairs, and a podium. Catering can be arranged upon request. An Internet corner in the lobby provides a PC computer for guests.
