Awesome, quaint Lodge with great staff!

Crag's Lodge is a beautiful, old-fashioned lodge with a wonderful staff, (especially Kiko and Raoul) and amazing views and atmosphere! Lovely stay. Everything is a very close drive in Estes. There is an amazing looking Restaurant (the View) at the Lodge, and a Lounge, but neither was open during our stay. I think we missed something special. Fortunately, there are other, fantastic restaurants within a short drive (5 to 10 minutes tops. Highly recomend!
