A Naturally Romantic Destination
There are few places as naturally romantic as Estes Park. Nestled at the base of Rocky Mountain National Park, this mountain town offers crisp alpine air, snow-dusted peaks in spring, and the quiet magic of the lake. For couples seeking a retreat that blends comfort, relaxation, and adventure, a weekend at The Estes Park Resort delivers on every note.
Day One: Arrival and Relaxation
Start your weekend with a scenic drive into Estes Park. As you arrive at The Estes Park Resort, the view of Lake Estes welcomes you into a serene world. Check into your lakeside suite or private mountain-view cabin, where oversized windows and cozy furnishings set the tone for your stay.
Ease into your retreat with a visit to the Qi Lounge Spa. Choose a couples’ massage or signature aromatherapy treatment designed to relax and reconnect. After your spa session, stroll along the Lake Estes Trail just steps from the resort. The fresh air and open sky are the perfect antidote to busy schedules and city noise.
As evening sets in, head to Ember Restaurant & Bar for dinner. The intimate dining room and lake views pair well with seasonal dishes crafted from locally sourced ingredients. Enjoy slow conversations over cocktails or wine, then step outside to take in the stars reflecting on the water.
Day Two: Adventure and Connection
Wake up to the sounds of birdsong and the sight of morning mist rising over the lake. After breakfast, head out for a spring hike in Rocky Mountain National Park. Trails like the Lily Lake Loop or Deer Mountain offer stunning views, easy access, and quiet paths for two. Pack a light picnic to enjoy along the way.
After your hike, stop by downtown Estes Park. The boutiques, galleries, and local coffee shops create a perfect space to wander hand-in-hand. For a relaxed afternoon, consider a wine tasting at Snowy Peaks Winery or a warm drink by the fire back at the resort.
As your weekend draws to a close, enjoy a quiet lakeside walk before dinner. Consider one of the area’s inviting local restaurants such as Bird & Jim, Hunter’s Chop House, or The Rock Inn Mountain Tavern. Each offers seasonal menus and a cozy ambiance ideal for an evening out.
More Than Just a Getaway
A couples’ retreat at The Estes Park Resort is more than a weekend away. It’s a chance to pause, reconnect, and create new memories surrounded by natural beauty. With thoughtful amenities, lakefront comfort, and the charm of Estes Park at your doorstep, every moment feels effortless and meaningful.
