Got married and stayed here and I can’t say enough good things about this place. It’s so serene and quiet when you want to take a walk around the property and lots of places to hangout and sit and just enjoy nature. Breakfast was delicious!! Our wedding by the river was absolutely magical . The owner happened to be around and made us a wedding video which I will cherish for many years to come!!! We definitely plan to be back in the future!

Secluded, Cozy, and Yummy ☺The property was very well kept and so cute. Each place has its own designated parking so no need to worry about getting a space. The breakfast was beautiful and had lots of options for all. We really enjoyed the spa and sauna as well. The bed we had was massive and so comfortable too. It was perfectly comfortable! ☹Only think I did not like was how narrow the street is to get down to it. It’s a long narrow road and it at the end of it so if you go down at night there’s no lights so you have to go quite slow. Location was also not next to any restaurants or anything but it is secluded in its own section, so pros and cons come with that.

Riversong is forever going to be my husband and I’s most favorite place for a getaway. This was our third time staying at Riversong, but this stay was particularly special because we got married on Friday! We decided that it was a no brainer that we wanted to stay at Riversong at some point during our wedding week, so we did the beginning of the week in the days leading up to our wedding day. Let me tell you, that was one of the best decisions we could have made. It was exactly what we needed to relax and unwind before the big day. We stayed in two rooms for this stay- starting off with Pasque Flower and then moving into Chiming Bells for one night. My husband and I have this personal goal to stay in each room at least once, so we were able to knock out two this time. We certainly enjoyed Pasque Flower, however, I REALLY want to stay longer in Chiming Bells next time because it was my absolute favorite. The bathroom in Chiming Bells is absolutely stunning and the room is so spacious and has tons of nice, natural light from the skylight windows. Pasque flower is a bit smaller than Chiming Bells, but still relaxing nonetheless. One of the Innkeepers was fantastic and was so helpful to us especially when we had to make the move from Pasque Flower into Chiming Bells. He was super accommodating for our stuff (we had quite a bit of decor packed into our two cars for the wedding as we live out of state) and assisted us with being able to check into our room early. Also, the cleaning staff is AMAZING and had Chiming Bells completely clean and ready to go all before 11 am. We also did the afternoon tea session, which I originally had booked to occur in the main lodge, however the same innkeeper told us that we could have our tea in the Gazebo for no additional charge, as they had a cancellation. This turned out to be so lovely and made for a relaxing afternoon. Lastly, we did the picnic lunch which was filled with tons of goodies and a cute little bottle of white wine. My husband actually loved the picnic basket that they supplied us with and has been looking into getting a similar one for home! We were able to sit out by the river and eat our lunch and enjoy a glass of wine in Adirondack chairs as we sat and talked for awhile. The only thing I will note (and generally recommend) is to be careful if you apply some of the lotion that is supplied in the rooms! It is a lovely honey and chamomile scent, but one morning I had applied it to my legs and wore shorts as we went into town to get coffee. As I was outside at the coffee place, a bee stung me. I think it thought I was a flower! Not anything that is Riversong’s fault, but I just wanted to give a fair warning that a bee might like the smell of the lotion! 🙂 My husband and I will most certainly be back to Riversong. We will come back every year, at least! 😁

We enjoyed our stay immensely ☺The room was spectacular. Wood frame bed, large room, comfortable bed, large shower/tub. We had our own hot tub right outside our room. Breakfast was fantastic. While we were on a small dead-end road, it was very conveniently located near the RMNP entrance. ☹Some of the stonework around the grounds was a bit rundown. Didn't detract from our visit but didn't add to the beauty of the place either.

Incredibly pleasant stay—even if just for a night ☺The lodging was in such a beautiful location and close to the entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park. It was quiet and peaceful for the one night we had; we absolutely would have loved to have stayed longer. Facilities were as listed, innkeeper was very friendly, and check in and out was easy. We missed breakfast from sleeping in but were still able to catch some snacks and drinks. ☹The path to get to the property is narrow but easily drivable.

The Difference Between Eloping and a Micro Wedding in Estes Park (and Which One is Right For You!)

Your guide to choosing the perfect intimate celebration in the Rocky Mountains.

Why Estes Park Is Perfect for Intimate Weddings

Estes Park has become one of Colorado’s top destinations for couples wanting something meaningful, scenic, and stress-free. With mountain peaks, riverside views, wildlife encounters, and endless quiet corners for romance, it offers a natural backdrop that makes every ceremony feel magical — whether it’s just the two of you or a small group of loved ones.

But if you’re dreaming of a small celebration, you may be wondering:
Should we elope… or have a micro wedding?

Here’s everything you need to know — plus how to choose the right style for your vision.

💍 What Is an Elopement?

An elopement is a simple, deeply intimate wedding — usually between just the couple or the couple plus their officiant and a photographer. Some elopements include up to four guests, but the emphasis is always on privacy, connection, and a focus on the couple’s experience rather than hosting others.

What an Estes Park Elopement Typically Looks Like:

A peaceful location (river, meadow, overlook, or forest trail)
A short, meaningful ceremony
Beautiful portraits in nature
A celebratory toast, small cake, or post-ceremony adventure
A quiet evening together — often with an in-room date night or private dinner

💍Why Couples Choose To Elope

✔️ Less stress, fewer logistics
✔️ Lower cost
✔️ More flexibility with dates & weather
✔️ Ideal for couples who want the moment to feel sacred and private
✔️ Perfect for spontaneous hearts

Why Riversong Is a Dream Venue for Elopements:

With 26 acres of meadows, forest, riverfront, and mountain views, couples have multiple on-property ceremony spots — all intimate, peaceful, and easily accessible.
End your elopement with:

A romantic honeymoon suite
Private deck
Hot tub or sauna soak
Cozy fireplace
A luxury breakfast the next morning
Adults only venue
Onsite Activities

It’s everything couples want in an elopement retreat — all in one place

💍What Is a Micro Wedding?

A micro wedding is a small, intentional wedding — usually 10–30 guests — that blends the intimacy of an elopement with the celebratory feel of a traditional wedding.

It’s a full wedding day… just on a smaller scale.

What a Micro Wedding at Riversong Typically Includes:

A meaningful ceremony by the river
Seating for guests
A designated area for champagne toasts, cake cutting, or light appetizers
Time for portraits
Space to gather, relax, and celebrate together
Optional full-property buyouts so everyone can stay on-site

💍Why Couples Choose Micro Weddings:

✔️ All the emotion of a full wedding
✔️ More time with each guest
✔️ Lower costs than large weddings
✔️ Beautiful scenery without the crowds
✔️ Easier planning, quicker timelines
✔️ Perfect for family-centered or friendship-centered celebrations

Why Riversong Is Ideal for Micro Weddings:

Your guests can gather by the river, wander meadows, relax on private decks, or unwind in their suites.
You can:

Host a wedding weekend (with breakfasts included!)
Book the entire property for total privacy
Enjoy intimate, nature-filled moments with the people who matter most

Riversong’s micro wedding packages blend romance, beauty, and convenience — making the experience feel elevated but still relaxed.

🌄 Elopement vs. Micro Wedding: Key Differences

Feature	Elopement	Micro Wedding
Guest Count	0–4 guests	10–30 guests
Vibe	Intimate & private	Celebratory & shared
Planning	Very simple	Light planning
Cost	Lowest	Moderate
Timeline	Short & flexible	Structured but relaxed
Ceremony Style	Personal & quiet	Emotional with loved ones
Venue Experience	Couple-focused	Group-friendly
Best For	Just-us-two couples	Couples wanting a small circle present

❤️ How to Choose Between the Two

Ask yourselves these questions:

1. Who do you want present for your vows?

If the answer is “no one except us,” elope.
If the answer is “our closest people,” a micro wedding fits.

**2. How do you want the moment to feel?**

Quiet, sacred, focused on us → Elopement
Joyful, connected, shared with loved ones → Micro wedding

3. Do you want to host a wedding weekend?

No hosting → Elopement
Yes, but small → Micro wedding

4. How much planning do you want to do?

Almost none → Elopement
A little, but not a lot → Micro wedding

5. What’s your budget?

Both options are budget-friendly, but elopements offer the simplest path.

The Best Part? You Can Do It All at Riversong.

Whether you envision a quiet riverside ceremony for two or a joyful micro wedding with your closest circle, Riversong Inn Retreat offers:

A stunning natural backdrop
Privacy and peacefulness
Luxury suites your guests will love
Hot tubs, saunas, river trails, wildlife, and mountain serenity
Gourmet breakfast every morning
Onsite photo locations that look like a movie
The option for full-property buyouts

It’s a venue that feels like a retreat — because it is.

💛 Your Wedding, Your Way

There is no wrong choice — only the one that feels right to you.

Whether you choose an intimate elopement or a micro wedding, Estes Park provides the beauty, Riversong provides the magic, and you bring the love story.

Ready to take a tour? Or want help choosing? We’d love to help you dream up your perfect day.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at RiverSong Inn while celebrating our anniversary in Estes Park. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed. The room was clean, comfortable, and beautiful, and the entire property has a peaceful atmosphere that encourages you to slow down and relax. We would absolutely stay here again. The hospitality truly stood out. Mark and Daniel were both professional, friendly, and attentive throughout our stay. Daniel, in particular, made us feel welcome from the time we checked in through the remainder of our visit. It’s obvious they take great pride in making guests feel at home. One unexpected highlight was the automatic coffee machine, which made an excellent cup of coffee each morning. Breakfast was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. Since we stayed several days, the menu became a little repetitive, but everything was fresh, well prepared, and served in a relaxing setting. We also experienced the High Tea in the gazebo overlooking the river, and it was absolutely outstanding. The setting was beautiful, the presentation was elegant, and every item was delicious. My only “complaint”—and I say this with a smile—was that they served enough food for four people even though there were only two of us! We’ve enjoyed High Tea in many places over the years, and this was among the most generous and memorable experiences we’ve had. If I could offer a few suggestions, they would be fairly minor. Some of the walkways, decks, and riverfront areas could benefit from a little maintenance, and a bit more pathway lighting in the evening would make walking around the property even more inviting after dark. These observations didn’t detract from our stay but would make an already wonderful property even better. RiverSong Inn is the kind of place where you can truly unwind. Between the beautiful setting, exceptional hospitality, wonderful food, and peaceful atmosphere, it made for a memorable anniversary getaway. We look forward to returning.

An absolutely amazing experience! From the moment we arrived, we fell in love with this place. It is truly magical, breathtaking, and the perfect getaway to relax and disconnect. The facilities and our room were outstanding—everything was spotless, beautifully decorated, and very well maintained. The sound of the river created a peaceful atmosphere that made our stay even more special. The private jacuzzi in our room was one of our favorite features, and the outdoor sauna and jacuzzi areas were perfect for relaxing while enjoying the beauty of nature. My husband and I had a wonderful time and were able to truly unwind and make unforgettable memories. Thank you for your exceptional hospitality and attention to every detail. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, romantic, and unforgettable retreat.

This has become one of my all time favorite vacation spots. ❣️ Came here to celebrate a birthday with my twin sister, and I'll be sure to come back! It's so beautiful, cozy, charming, clean, easy going, relaxing and unforgettable. The rooms are spacious, they have a great, unique touch to them, the fireplace was perfect for our winter stay, and the grounds of the Inn are soooo amazing. There's lots to explore, the river is so calming right by the Inn, there is several Jacuzzis to enjoy throughout, great sitting areas, giant chess board, cute maze, and all around cozy, scenic spots to enjoy! I highly recommend this, especially off season times are so quiet and even better priced. We hiked the private trail and got great views, even in the winter, the trails were enjoyable. The service is friendly and helpful, everyone we encountered was so pleasant and we truly loved that. Loved everything about it, except for cleaning service using their own key to come in and clean our room just past 9am when check-out wasn't till 11am. He saw we were there and kindly left, but I almost got walked into while changing in the main room, and I wish there had been a knock announcing whether it was ok to come in or not. Other than that, it was a perfect stay and I will be back and recommending this place to all my friends and family. 😊

This is the most beautiful place I've ever stayed in! My sister and I stayed one night this late January, and it was SO cozy! The staff is so friendly and accommodating. The inn's property is SO beautiful! There are many activities, many places to walk and enjoy the views, and hot tubs and saunas throughout. The wedding area is so magical looking! We started in the Forget Me Not Suite, and it's the most charming suite EVER. The bathtub is so spacious and comfortable. The shower was like a waterfall! I want to come back every year. 🥰 The 7 Benches Hiking Trail was such an adventure, and so worth it even in winter! It was cold, but beautiful. The price was perfect during off season! Highly recommended. I now need to see what this charming inn looks like in every season! 😊

The Romantic Riversong Inn was something so special. Our room - Mountain Rose - was cute, comfortable and so very clean. The shower, with its view of the Rocky Mtns, was exquisite. Breakfasts were beyond delicious and in addition to the inn itself being adorable, the surrounding grounds and trails were beautiful. Many have had their wedding here. I can see why as it's such a lovely setting for that. Highly recommend!

My husband says it's the best place he has ever stayed. He would like to give it 10 stars. Each room has its own entrance and the owners have thought of everything necessary so there is no contact with others. Our room was unlocked and inside was the key, instructions, snacks - everything we needed. Breakfast was brought to our porch on a tray in disposable containers. The breakfast burrito was delicious. For dinner we ordered out near by then ate at B&B picnic tables by the Big Thompson river. The room was amazing with a comfortable bed, excellent lighting and an amazing bath tub for two. The grounds are very peaceful.

3rd year in a row for our Anniversary getaway...Covid friendly with clean accommodations and contact free services. Staff wears masks, provides sanitizer in various areas. We are always impressed with our stay & they go above & beyond every time! We choose the newly renovated 'Morning Glory' room which featured a private entrance stairway, a spacious and clean room including a new soaker tub, seperate glass door shower, small dining table, coffee/tea service w/ midrange mini fridge and sofa seating area. A beautiful, large breakfast for 2 was left outside our room door each morning to enjoy inside or on our private ground level patio as well. Plenty of space to remain by yourselves on the 27 acre property and enjoyed fishing along the property river. Homemade goodies, ice, fridge/freezer and microwave are available daily in the guest service room which doubles as the contact free office, since the main lodge/dining room remains closed during the pandemic. This tiny area does need an update though, to make it more welcoming as it feels unclean & makes the homemade treats (even though they are placed in ziplock baggies) look unappetizing due to the surroundings of the small room. It just doesn't hold up to the beauty & cleanliness of the rest of property which is highly maintained. They do offer beautiful pottery mugs for purchase to commemorate your stay. We will always try & come back each anniversary and are never disappointed with this special beautiful getaway. Thank you for another lovely visit!

What a great place. Second time around for me and my wife. First time with the new owners. The local managers were great. From breakfast to our lunch, delicious and efficient and safe! We didn't realize we could keep the backpack our picnic lunch arrived in. They shipped it to us. Class act right there. The location and amenities even in COVid times are out of this world. Book a trip. You will not regret it. Thank you Romantic River Song and see you again soon.

I cannot imagine a more perfect B&B! We drove into Estes Park on US36 from Boulder on Saturday during a Celtic festival that was going on in the town (people in kilts everywhere). In spite of being warned about massive traffic jams, Waze got us to the Romantic RiverSong Inn without frustration. The inn's name derives from its being totally romantic and being situated next to the Big Thompson River, which at this location, is the size of a brook. However, it flows mightily along with lovely burbling sounds. We watched a raven devour a fish on one of the rocks in the middle of the stream. There are cabins, trailer hook-ups, and a main house with several suites, a comfortable common area with views of the Rockies, and the breakfast room. Other meals can be arranged, and the common room has home-baked goodies, tea, and coffee all day. Bottles of water are also provided for guests in a refrigerator they can use to store perishables. Other features of the property include breath-taking hiking trails with magnificent flora. Our suite consisted of a sitting area, two steps down to a bedroom with comfortable king-size bed, a skylight, a ceiling fan, and a fireplace. The bathroom was located off the sitting area, thereby necessitating negotiating two steps up from the sleeping area if one were to need to use it in the middle of the night. Our bathroom consisted of a two-person bathtub with a skylight and an array of adjacent electric candles, but without a whirlpool function. A separate glassed-in shower enclosure included a whimsical showerhead created from what appeared to be an old watering can! There was also a single sink and a toilet stall without a separate door. Angie, our hostess, was more than gracious, and each morning presented a creative two-course breakfast. Although not a standard part of the morning menu, a mimosa was produced on request. Upon check-in, Angie reminded us to lock our rental car as the bears in the neighborhood had become adept at opening car doors to search for edibles. The shopping area of Estes Park is about a 10-15 minute drive away. We had a disappointing dinner at The Rock Inn, much closer than town, and saw a doe and an elk cow on the way back to the B&B. We had a much better dinner at The Stanley Hotel, not to be missed. On departing, we drove west into Rocky Mountain National Park. A park entrance is quite close. Spectacular views were soon all around us!

Lovely B&B. My husband and I had a wonderful experience here. We stayed at the "Cowboy Delight" suite. The suite is roomy, has a private jet hot tub (inside), and has all the comforts of home. The two course breakfast was delicious in the mornings, and I never lacked coffee :) I was very pleasantly surprised by the size of the property which featured access to a river and a mini hike! It's a 3 min drive from Estes park downtown, yet is a secluded area. Excellent!

Absolutely amazing stay! This place is perfectly set up for romance. They have about 27 acres for you to roam as you please. We really enjoyed hiking up their private mountain. We were treated to breakfast in bed on New Year's day and I really appreciated that they put thought into it and served cabbage and beans in a breakfast burrito. The next morning we went to the main house for breakfast and it was also delicious. Get their hot cocoa! Our room was so relaxing and romantic. I appreciated that there was no tv but lots of board games and books. The floors are heated which was especially nice since it was below zero when we were there.

The deck was a lovely place to relax in the late afternoon sun and we enjoyed the 7 Benches Trail! We were lucky enough to find a handsome elk relaxing on the other side of the river, a real treat!

The property is set on 26 acres on a “small” river (Big Thompson River) in Estes Park. The grounds are nice, and set up as a wedding (or event) venue. They have a good bit of frontage along the river, with benches interspersed. We stayed in “Shooting Star” in the main building’s second (top) floor. It was a very nice unit with a king bed, fireplace, sitting area (bookcases filled with books), shower and separate tub (and sink and toilet; toilet in the water closet with shower, sink outside that area with tub). We had to go with the “to go” breakfast (a great parfait with kiwi and blueberries) since we had 6-8am timed entry for Rocky Mountain NP. | Liked: cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities

This whole experience was wonderful! My husband and I were the only ones having tea in the dining room, and the staff (Nathan and Daniel) were willing to give us quite a bit of their time to share their stories and travels with us. The ambiance was cozy and comfortable with lace doilies on each table and potted plants hanging from the ceiling. The tea menu had several options and came out piping hot. There were courses of food provided, starting with charcuterie and followed by the three-tier high tea server with more tea sandwiches, scones, and pastries than we've ever had at a high tea elsewhere (we took more than half home). We were also invited to explore the grounds before departing; it's a gorgeous property.

From start to finish, it is the most relaxing, well-tended and fun place to stay. We did a whole property buyout during our son's wedding in Estes Park. Our close friends and family stayed with us, and we used all 10 outstanding rooms. Rooms are clean, well-appointed, comfortable with clean linens and all the extras you'd expect of a high-quality bed and breakfast. In-room amenities I had added for all our guests were ready and high-quality also. Riversong Inn Retreat is well-located near town, but also tucked away on quiet, easy-to-find private property. Estes Park Shuttle came straight to the front door to drop off and pick up our guests as reserved. Couldn't have been easier. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and enjoy their own beautiful room -- while we also gathered easily in the common outdoor spaces, the Main Lobby and Dining Room for long visits. Every room is unique and beautiful. There are plenty of books and games all around -- there's something for everyone at Riversong. The Staff is simply outstanding. They were very easy to work with long-distance through email and phone calls to answer all the questions, and to plan the details of our stay. And, in person, they are friendly, accomodating, and visible without being intrusive. They never said No to a request, always wanted to know how they could help or if we needed anything -- and made it possible for us to enjoy our group's gathering on 2 evenings, where we brought in BBQ and pizza for casual dinners on-property. They made it all so easy to do. The breakfasts they prepared were delicious, each one different, and the Dining Room is a bright and sunny place to gather and visit. We never felt rushed or lacking in any way. I cannot recommend this place highly enough! We will be back. Thank you Riversong!

Couldn’t have picked a nicer place for our 50th anniversary getaway. Lovely accommodation, delicious and filling breakfast. Wonderful property with paths along the river and so many things to do on property - saunas, hot tubs, walking trails, a maze. Wildlife abounds. Staff were very personable and helpful. We will definitely return for another special occasion.

Perfect Accommodation for Rocky Mountain NP September is a popular time to visit Rocky Mountain National Park. We were lucky to get a room for three nights at the Riversong Inn for our trip. We loved the quiet atmosphere, the delicious breakfast, free snack bars and water, nature, and the close proximity to the entrance to RMNP, which is less than a 10-minute drive. There are several restaurants nearby, so you don’t have to drive to busy downtown Estes Park. We highly recommend it.

Great Romantic getaway Great Hotel located by the stream away from the crowds but two min from the center. We stayed in a cabin which was a delight with a fire place. There are several rooms in the main house. The breakfast was great and they leave many munchies around all day long. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Love the place will definitely return and recommend

Great place to relax and enjoy RMNP and Estes My wife and I had a great time kicking off our retirement with 4 days at the Riversong Inn Retreat. The Shooting Star room was "Hygge" with a big downy bed, whirlpool tub, shower, and sitting area with many bookcases. The Inn's proximity to the RMNP entrance and Estes downtown facilitated our early daily excursions to the Park and our explorations in town. The staff was invaluable and friendly. The breakfast buffet every day was terrific. And the staff even packed us breakfast-to-go when we left early for the Park. All in all, it was a great choice, and I look forward to making a repeat visit.

Great 6-Night Stay as a Gateway to Rocky Mountain NP We stayed here for 6 nights during our visit to Rocky Mountain National Park and were very happy with our choice. The staff we interacted with were all very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was phenomenal, and they went to great lengths to accommodate my wife's Gluten allergy. In addition, there was always coffee, tea, pastries and other snacks available 24/7. For the room, we stayed in the "Shooting Star" in the main building. It was spacious, very clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was also very good. Because of the location, we were also able to see Elk come right on to the property. The location was also only about 5 minutes from the main Beaver Meadows entrance station of Rocky Mountain National Park.

Beautiful place to spend time with loved ones! The property alone has so much to offer and it is so close to a RMNP entrance and the Estes Park downtown area. Staff is friendly and provide outstanding service. Gluten free breakfast options are available.

This was hands down the best place that we have ever stayed. We got the elopement package for our wedding and everything was taken care of for us. The ceremony was small and intimate, the views were incredible, the room was luxurious, and all of the extras that came with the package exceeded our expectations. Cheryl was so easy to work with leading up to the date and handled so many things that we didn't have to think about. So much care and love was put into the grounds, the rooms, the food, the amenities, and the wedding packages. Everyone was kind and welcoming and went above and beyond to make our stay amazing. This is a hidden gem for Colorado weddings and I am so thankful that we stumbled upon it from a Reddit comment. The photos don't do this place justice, or Estes Park in general. I can't wait to go back for an anniversary!

This is a great place for couples. It’s quiet, our room was very spacious and comfortable, outside is rustic and charming at the same time and the folks who manage it are friendly and accommodating. The breakfasts are also exceptional. My husband and I enjoyed our stay here.

We loved our 3 night stay! Everything was to perfection- Cowboy’s Delight, the delicious 5-star quality Breakfasts, the amenities, the grounds, the hiking trail and 7 benches, the fishing and relaxing at the river - so much character here- I wish we had a week. Special thanks to Tammy for your excellent hospitality. We WILL be back.
