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.

This place is a special gem. My sweetheart and I got married here and it was just a completely magical experience. The location is amazing, right between downtown Estes and Rocky Mountain National park, and right along the river, so the natural beauty is exceptional. The rooms are all beautifully appointed, each with its own unique and curated touches, nothing generic, each invested with beauty and care. The breakfast in the inn in the morning was delicious and attractive. It was wonderful to have all the families and close friends stay over and share the lovely mountain morning and breakfast together and enjoy the time together. The property also has pretty nature walks, hot tubs and saunas and other fun things. And the people who work here, like Nathan the innkeeper and Iris are so kind and attentive. Overall, this place is really special gem.

OUR AFTERNOON TEA MENU

AFTERNOON TEA FAQs

Yes, we can accommodate parties up to 20 by the River, 6 in the Gazebo and 12 in the Lodge.  You can book online for parties up to 10.  If your party is over 10 please email us at afternoontea@romanticriversong.com.

We love kids, though Riversong Inn Retreat is typically an adults-only venue for our bed & breakfast.  For afternoon tea we permit children, though they are charged at the full price as we do not have a child’s menu.  We would suggest children coming only if they are 10+ years old as to not impact the serene experience of other guests.

Please email our team at afternoontea@romanticriversong.com at least 72 hours before your reservation.

You may cancel or change your booking online up to 7 days prior to your reservation and receive a full refund.  After this date we have already started purchasing and preparing for your reservation.  In the event of an emergency please contact us at afternoontea@romanticriversong.com to discuss if we can accommodate your request.

Afternoon Tea is “reservation only” as we prepare items specific to what is on our schedule for the upcoming day(s).  We are unable to accommodate walk-ins.

The tea requires a pre-payment as we have a high demand/limited tables available and we make everything fresh to order.  Requiring a pre-payment helps keep our processes in alignment as we prepare for your arrival and ensure that you have a fabulous afternoon tea experience.

The Riversong Inn Retreat was built in the early 1900s and is not set up to be ADA accessible in the main common areas, unfortunately.  There are stairs leading up to the lodge and there is uneven terrain/steps leading to the Gazebo.  There is a somewhat level path leading to the pavilion by the river AND we have a golf cart on site that can help transport people down to the pavilion if needed.
