My family owned a unit here when I was a kid so I have many fond memories, and in many regards it’s still a nice place.  The pool area is lovely (although  the pool needs some maintenance and updating).   The grounds look good and the location is great.   The units are condos and vary greatly and the unit we rented (205) definitely needs a redo.  Paul Bunyan pine furniture that is incredibly uncomfortable and hard and lumpy.   2- sofas are futons and miserably painful to sit on.   No drawers in the bedroom and massively oversized furniture.   The kitchen pans have peeling Teflon (great way to add forever chemicals to your food!) and the bathroom ceiling drywall has been patched and never refinished.  The common gas grills on the lower area were all out of gas and FILTHY.   The HOA /mgmt company need to agree on some kind of a rating system for the units in the rental pool.

Good and bad

The perfect place for our family reunion.  The units were beautifully decorated and all had a view of the river.  As a family we gathered at the pool for dinner and socializing.  A plus was the inn was a short distance to Rocky Mountain National Park.  Highly recommend the inn on your next visit to Estes Park.

Condo with river view 

This hotel has no interest in helping you or serving you.  We arrived and went into the office to check in.  The woman behind the counter said your packet is outside.  She had no interest in answering questions or making us feel welcome.  The condo was adequate,  but for price nothing special.  The view is gorgeous, but when you are right beside Rocky Mountain National Park,  it should be.  Dishes were very few and you couldn't do anything if the dishwasher was open.   The place is ok, but way overpriced and absolutely no service or interest in their guests.

Beautiful scenery, disappointing condo

Fantastic location right outside the Rocky Mountain NP entrance!  My husband and I stayed in the condo unit #278.  This particular room is the ONLY unit that is not up or down stairs from the lobby - it is in the lobby...weird, but my husband liked the fact that we didn't  have to walk with the luggage up or down the stairs.  The balcony with all the beautiful trees, birds, elk, and rushing stream below to enjoy was awesome.  Mostly quiet other than kids on the floor above us and a construction worker building new steps outside our room when we first arrived.  The shower was terrible with regards to the temperature control and shower head/flow.  

Exceptional location, great except for the shower

I have been staying at the Fawn Valley Inn for literally decades —- usually twice a year - Spring and Fall .  I have always had a wonderful experience .   No more ! I am beyond angry and disappointed.  They moved me from my selected room as they said the jacuzzi was broken …..I told them this was my 40th anniversary and we would not be using it and I selected the room because there were no stairs and the view was perfect.   The insisted and said they were moving me to a “better” room with a “couple “ of stairs ! Without going into the 11 broken or dirty things ( or the fact that people were sitting and drinking and making noise OUTSIDE OUR BEDROOM WINDOW every night) —- the biggest issue was the SEVEN OSHA VIOLATION TOO SMALL AND STEEP STAIRS DOWN TO OUR ROOM WITH A BROKEN TOP STEP !!  Great fun for two mid-70’s seniors hauling suitcases !  I will —- in the future be staying at the Mc Gregor Lodge …sad that it ended this way !

Horrible experience — new management misrepresented everything!  Will not return after15 + years of patronage!

Loved our 3 night stay at the Fawn Valley Inn! We had a second floor condo with 1 bedroom and 2 bathrooms. Loved the rustic furniture, and the futons were comfortable (according to my kids). The kitchen was nicely renovated with full size fridge and freezer, microwave, and dishwasher. Kitchen stocked with everything you could need including dishes, pots and pans, pizza dish, utensils, etc. But the absolute best was the large deck and hot tub. Large, clean, already hot and ready to go when we arrived. Absolutely lovely. The view was breathtaking from every window. No A/C but it was not needed. The fans were plenty and the cross breeze was comfortable even in July. And we could hear the creek from the bedroom which was very soothing.
Check in was easy - our key and info waiting for us - otherwise we didn't really interact with the lobby. They have a website where you can order fresh towels and sundries but we didn't need anything.
Will absolutely stay here again!!!

Loved it!

The property lies next the Falls River. We could sit in patio and watch the river and birds flying by. Nice little path that walks along the river. We had plenty of room. We had room 241 which had two bedrooms and one bath along with living/ dining room and kitchen. One room had king bed and the other bedroom at two queens. The inn  had cooking utensils etc. Fridge microwave and dishwasher along with stove. Great location just about a mile to entrance to Rocky Mountain National park. They had outdoor heated pool which was nice and clean. The only downside was the property is older and not very soundproof. You could hear people around you walking around. We would stay there again. Some rooms come with outdoor hot tubs.

Nice and relaxing

DO NOT STAY HERE IF YOU VALUE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND HOSPITALITY!
First of all, the room isn't quite as advertised. The "private" hot tub isn't nearly as private as you would think. Given the fact that when you go to Estes you're most likely not staying in your hotel room all day, the small room wasn't a huge factor. But the customer service from one of the ladies working there was abysmal. We checked out left on our last day to drive back to Denver to fly home later that night, and about 15 minutes outside of Estes I realized we forgot our keys in the dresser of the room. We turned around right away and I called the hotel to ask if they had received any items left behind from our room. Instead of trying to help locate our missing items, or offering to simply go check the room herself, the lady working the front desk got an attitude right away and told me over and over again in a very condescending tone that "sir, I already told you, there's nothing in my possession and room service doesn't come back with any missing missing items until 5pm, so I can call you then if we found anything and you could come back and get your item." I tried to explain to her that we flew out of Denver later that night so it wouldn’t be possible for me to come back to Estes that night given the fact that our flight left from Denver that night. Instead of attempting to be helpful she only became more rude. She made it well know that their hotel has the insane policy where if housekeeping discovers an item you’ve left behind, instead of turning those items in right away, they actually go around the rest of the day to other sites around Estes Park (with your lost items the whole time!) and then at 5pm they come back to Fawn Valley Inn and return your lost items. Who’s stopping them from discovering a lost credit card, going around with that lost credit card all day spending YOUR money, and then returning to the hotel at 5? This is a ridiculously unsafe policy. So, we drove back to the hotel despite the lady assuring us nothing could be done. My wife went inside and asked if housekeeping always cleans out all of the drawers. The lady insisted that, yes housekeeping always cleans out the drawers. The lady offered my wife the keys to the room so we could go check “if we wanted.” Well, we checked, and sure enough, the items we left behind (including our house/car keys for back home which, you know, are kind of important) were still in the drawer. So, not only do they have a very rude lady working the front desk for them, incredibly dumb “lost and found” policies, but they also don’t have housekeeping that actually cleans/checks the whole room/unit!
Like I said, the room was fine, but this experience of trying to get back the items we left was a nightmare. I’ve never left a single review of anywhere I’ve ever eaten/stayed at until now. That’s how bad the customer service was.

DO NOT STAY HERE IF YOU VALUE CUSTOMER SERVICE

Pro’s: right outside Rocky Mountain National Park. Con’s: older property in desperate need of maintenance and updates. Unit 215 had visible mold on the ceiling and a strong musty/mildew smell. Desk staff did not care when this was reported.

Needs maintenance and updating

My family stayed in unit 241 and while the decor is very dated, it was clean. We loved the location right next to the Fall River and parking was convenient. The office was easy to work with and very accommodating when we had to extend our stay due to weather. My only issue was the bed. The unit has 2 bedrooms with a King in one and 2 queens in the other. Since we had 3 adults in our group we needed our own beds. Unfortunately the king bed was unusable because it was so old. It was like laying on a trampoline with a blanket tossed on it. If you tried to lay on it you would immediately roll into the holes created by many many many past guests.  Luckily the 2 beds in the other bedroom were new and much more comfortable.  Consequently I ended up sharing a bed with my grown daughter which was not ideal. Since I was paying a premium to have a unit with 3 beds it was very disappointing to end up paying for something that was not usable.
