THE BEST view of Longs Peak, and Twin Sisters right on the other side. Historical lodge with trails all around it- there was even a humble breakfast in the lobby. Peaceful and so close to estes park. Recommend.

Great place if you want no amenities

Pros: Great property, balcony off the room, helpful and friendly staff Cons: No A/C, no TV, extremely limited Wifi, deafening silence in the room. Everything was closed and we only saw one other couple. It's a great place to stay if you're looking for complete silence and want to be cut off from the outside world. We won't stay there again.

The property is old but has Character, I Didn't know the Lodge was Daoism, but it was very quiet and the staff was great. No active Kitchen, so we had to go down to Estes Park to eat. They did provide pastries in the morning. No TV, or Internet connection. There was Wifi if you wanted to phone out. If you don't have children that need to be entertained, then I would recommend it for a getaway for a weekend. There is Horseback Riding next door.

Like the area. Very beautiful mountain view, quiet. It is a good deal for the money you pay compared with other properties around the areas. Staffs are friendly and even offer snacks, water, fruits, coffee and tea at the lobby. Close to Long peak , twin sister, Lilly Lake trail. Cons: no cell service. Need to log in wifi every 1 hr. No room service. Will stay here again next time since i like the quietness, amazing mountian view!
