Travel

Transportation From Airport

To get to Estes Park, we recommend flying into Denver International Airport. From the airport, Estes Park is about an 1.5-2 hour drive. To get to Estes Park from the airport, we recommend renting a car, however, there is a paid shuttle option if desired. We do not recommend ride share (Uber or Lyft) as ride share options once in Estes Park are limited.

Rental Car at DIA

There are 11 car rental companies available at Denver International Airport.

Transportation To Venue

There is free parking at the venue and there will be 2 shuttles. Shuttles will loop between Best Western Inn, The Stanley Hotel, and the venue between 3:30-4:30pm. We will update this section with the specific times for each spot once we get closer to the wedding date!

Lodging

You're welcome to stay anywhere in Estes Park! However, we will provide a shuttle to and from our ceremony & reception from the Best Western & Stanley Hotel.


Black Canyon Inn: This is the easiest option as the ceremony & reception venue is on-site! However, Black Canyon Inn does not offer room blocks. As a result, if you'd like to stay here, we recommend booking as soon as possible. There's lots of other weddings competing for lodging on property on the same weekend. Black Canyon Inn offers 2 or 4 person hotel-style "suites" as well as 1 BR, 2 BR and 3 BR "condos" that give a luxury cabin feel. Use our discount code 5WED for 5% off!


The Stanley Hotel: Located a half a mile from our venue. The Stanley is a luxury and iconic option, famous for inspiring Stephen King's novel The Shining.


Best Western Plus Silver Saddle Inn: Located 2 miles from our venue. Most budget friendly option and has several other options next door within walking distance (.2 miles or less) listed below:


• Hotel Estes

• Blue Door Inn

• Coyote Mountain Lodge

• Quality Inn Near Rocky Mountain National Park
