Estes Park, CO

Black Canyon Inn is the most convenient place to stay, as this is where the wedding events will be held. Accommodations here tend to book quickly and availability is limited. The property offers a mix of guest rooms and condos. Some units allow for a one-night stay, while others require a two-night minimum.

We do have a discount code available for guests staying at Black Canyon Inn: 5WED.

The Stanley Hotel is another great option, located just a 3-minute drive or an 11-minute walk from the venue. This historic hotel is known for its stunning architecture and rich history. It also famously served as the inspiration for The Shining by Stephen King.

Guests are also welcome to book accommodations wherever they prefer. There are many great options in the Estes Park area, including hotels, cabins, and vacation rentals. You may also want to explore listings on Airbnb, which offers a variety of unique places to stay nearby.

Lodging & Transportation Note
Rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft are very limited in Estes Park, so we highly recommend not relying on them to get to or from the event. If you plan on enjoying alcoholic beverages, please consider staying within walking distance of the venue or arranging a designated driver ahead of time.

The closest airport to Estes Park is Denver International Airport (DEN). From the airport, it is about a 1 hour and 30 minute drive to Estes Park. Renting a car is the best way to get around, as rideshare services are not readily available in the Estes Park area. While you may be able to find a rideshare to take you to the area, it can be very difficult to get one for the return trip to the airport.
