Margaret
We were visiting our daughter who was working at a camp down the road, and landed at the Dao House. We stayed in the lodge, which was beautiful. Our room had a door to a shared balcony and hummingbirds were everywhere. We had 2 queen beds for my family, and the room arrangement worked really well for the four of us (2 teens).
Everything was very clean and the staff was beyond helpful. We went horseback riding at Elkhorn stables on the property, which made for a great afternoon. My hubby and kids enjoyed tennis and basketball on site, and we took advantage of the books and games down the hall. Although they don't really offer breakfast, we were pleasantly surprised to find they had muffins along with the tea and coffee. We had stopped by Safeway in Estes Park for milk, cereal, oatmeal, etc. We were able to keep perishables in the community mini fridge and heat what we needed in the microwave.
Some of the cabins looked like they could use a fresh coat of paint, but the property was beautiful and relaxing and a wonderful get away. We would stay there again.

Property was great.
A dirty towel was left in the bathroom.

It was a beautiful location, though the day we arrived there was no running water. It came back on at night. Though next day the water was gone again. So if you’re planning a trip, just be mindful of the possibility of not having running water.
Betsy
We stayed 4 days and its a mix of very nice and lacking. The cons: Pretty much NO INTERNET! Its weak and unpredictable. You will get kicked off hourly if you're lucky enough to get on. Staff suggested a drive down the road for a better connection. Rooms are very small compared to most places, but clean. The shower needs a towel rack for your clothing or towel while showering. There is only one hook on the door. There is a wall to wall double desk which is less than helpful. A dresser would be much better. You will need to \"live out of\" your suitcase. There is no coffee machine, refrigerator, or microwave in the room. Coffee is provided with muffins for a couple hours in the morning. A place to keep drinks and left overs cold and reheat would be nice. It seemed like we had to constantly go ask for things, such as soap. We were provided with a small bar of soap on day one. The garbage cans are extremely small, not a big deal for a day or two, but a problem by day 3.
The pros: Very quiet, beautiful lodge with a deck outside of every room. It was a high light, drinking coffee on the porch. You pull your car up to your room, making it very convenient. The lobby is beautiful. The staff are very friendly.
Overall, the lodge has a lot of potential, it just hasn't reached it yet. Some small added convivences would earn our repeat business. But for the same price, we would look elsewhere next time.

Clean enough, helpful staff, and very peaceful environment for those looking to get away. Minimal service, but that’s all a part of disconnecting.
Russell
The Dao House is a surprise! As you enter the property from the road, you may not be impressed. The driveway/road surface is old and worn. The first cabins seen are older. And as you follow the signs to Guest Check-In or Registration, the route goes BEHIND the buildings. Then You find that the main lobby does not face the road at all, but seems to be at the back! So the building is turned around! After a while, you realize that is a very good thing. The lobby is older and beautiful. The theme is obviously tranquility and balance, for the entire Dao House. You know it is older when you have, not a key card, but a real authentic key for your room. And the room is beautiful. Simple and clean. Comfortable, quiet. No air conditioning? It isn't needed at all. the window provides a wonderful cool and REAL breeze. The view from my room was the mountain slope and woods. Wonderful. No TV! No need. The rooms do not have refrigerators. But they have two small common ones shared by guests. Wonderful ice a. Tea and coffee and pastries for breakfast. AND something I had never seen: an \"oxygen room\" where you can buy 20 minutes of various scented oxygen. And it was GREAT! I did it twice. I realized the Dao House is a real hideout. Away from the world and wonderful.

Property was very rustic. No TV, no coffee maker in the room or mini fridge.
Coffee served at 8:30 with Muffins.

Staff cooperative and nice. No daily cleaning of rooms

The view of mountains, the courtesy off staff, the beauty of the wood log room, the porch.
Zachary
Staff was nice and helpful. This review stems from a complete lack of amenities. No refrigerator, air conditioning and WiFi that barely functions. For what you pay for your stay I expect better
John
No cell service and spotty wifi. Poorly maintained gravel road and parking lot. The groundskeeper weed whacked a rock into my windshield and cracked it — I had to get it fully replaced and they refused to discount my stay by even one penny. There are 50 better places to book in the Estes Park area. Will not be staying here again.
Amber
This is not your typical property in Estes Park. The rooms do not have a TV, so if you’re traveling with kids, that could be an issue if you’re winding down and need some entertainment to keep them quiet. The rooms also have no microwave or fridge like your standard rooms do at other properties. We didn’t see any staff onsite after 5:00pm. (They may have been available but we didn’t see anyone) The staff arrives at 8:00am. So if you need anything such as towels, toilet paper, etc. be sure to get it before they leave for the day. The staff were very friendly and accommodating when they were there. The location of the property was very quiet and tucked away from the town of Estes Park and maybe 10-15 minutes from the west entrance of RMNP. There is no cell service at this property and WiFi is extremely limited. Streaming videos is impossible. They did warn us of this after we had already booked and was headed to CO. Thankfully our kids are teenagers, it might be a problem with smaller kiddos now days. The inside of the lobby was very open. They had an oxygen room available (didn’t use it so unsure of that), no continental breakfast, but they had coffee available. This property had a large Buddha statute in the foyer. They were focused on mind and body, connecting as one.

The staff was friendly and helpful. I needed to shorten my stay by one day and they helped me get a refund. I'd book here again.

Incredibly clean room and wonderful stay! We were expecting the slow wifi and limited cell phone signal which was actually nice to keep us focused on connecting with nature. The staff were so helpful and kind and it was a great location close to the national park but very peaceful.

Peaceful stay in a clean and quiet space
Yolanda
In lugar muy bonito y tranquilo solo falta un poco de limpieza afuera pero es un lugar muy agradable para relajarse y desconectarte del mundo muy bonitas vistas
Laura
The room was very clean and the staff was friendly. However, the parking area was pretty chewed up and if they put on the website that there was no TV we didn’t see it. The Wi-Fi did not support streaming and cut in and out. We OKgot no housekeeping on our two days stay. We also had a balcony, but the lock would not open. We also did not pursue this so part of that’s on us. On the upside, the bed was clean and comfortable & the bathroom was small, but lovely. Reasonably accessible to Rocky Mountain national Park.
Evelyn
No WiFi and no TV in room (or anywhere) - nothing to do once you check in.
Property does not seem to have had any renovations or upgrades -for example furniture worn out and carpet in room very old. If looking for minimalist place to stay or go on a retreat this may be the right place to be!

This place needs serious updates, wifi is terrible, tennis courts and area outside of hotel is not taken care of at all. The room wasn’t cleaned very well, good thing we got some cleaning supplies to clean. All the bedding was old and also the carpet, very musky smell. Our room had no fridge, microwave or extra towels. Definitely not worth the price for only 2 nights and you are at least 15mins from Estes Park, very nice drive but it’s very inconvenient if you are staying busy through out the day, especially if you need to go back to the hotel for something. I’m sorry but I will not be returning, mainly because they seem like they just don’t care and overcharge. Not worth it, specially if you have kids.
Brynn
Absolutely gorgeous and serene!!!
Peter
When i book at room, I will always check that it has WiFi as I am depending on this to work, so when I arrive at a hotel and am informed that the wifi is not working in the rooms, but I am free to use the lobby, it's bad. No amenities, no possibility for breakfast. Surroundings are beautiful.
Patricia Alexandra
The view of Longs Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park is spectacular! The lodge is old and gorgeous! No frills but very comfy. The staff were so nice and helpful! Having horseback riding right there is ultra convenient. We will stay there again!
Dror
It was so great! I loved everything about this place and the stuff was amazing
The only downgrade was the lack of service over there and the WiFi was horrible I missed the time entry tickets sale to the national park because of that

THE BEST view of Longs Peak, and Twin Sisters right on the other side. Historical lodge with trails all around it- there was even a humble breakfast in the lobby. Peaceful and so close to estes park. Recommend.

When it said there was fridges and microwaves I thought it meant it would be in our room. That was disappointing.
Laura
Great place if you want no amenities
Pros: Great property, balcony off the room, helpful and friendly staff
Cons: No A/C, no TV, extremely limited Wifi, deafening silence in the room. Everything was closed and we only saw one other couple.
It's a great place to stay if you're looking for complete silence and want to be cut off from the outside world. We won't stay there again.

The property is old but has Character, I Didn't know the Lodge was Daoism, but it was very quiet and the staff was great. No active Kitchen, so we had to go down to Estes Park to eat. They did provide pastries in the morning. No TV, or Internet connection. There was Wifi if you wanted to phone out. If you don't have children that need to be entertained, then I would recommend it for a getaway for a weekend. There is Horseback Riding next door.

James
Great stay at this beautiful location. The staff was welcoming, the room was exactly what we were looking for, the property is walkable and the views were fantastic.
Virginia
After we saw the property we decided not to stay. DOA house is located far from Estes Park. There were no restaurants on the property or near by.
Zabu
Like the area. Very beautiful mountain view, quiet. It is a good deal for the money you pay compared with other properties around the areas. Staffs are friendly and even offer snacks, water, fruits, coffee and tea at the lobby. Close to Long peak , twin sister, Lilly Lake trail.
Cons: no cell service. Need to log in wifi every 1 hr. No room service.
Will stay here again next time since i like the quietness, amazing mountian view!

As others said. Great if you want to disconnect. No TV. Cell service was one bar and unreliable. Wi-Fi per person was 1.5 Mb/s - nearly useless (disconnected me when trying to make reservations in national Park timed entry so couldn’t go).

We had a wonderful stay here at Dao house. I booked it knowing I wanted something close to the Rockies and I couldn’t have been happier. Very tranquil experience, friendly staff and cozy room. Thank you for giving us a nice stay!
Karen
Good for hiking trip
The lodge is in a great location for entering the rocky mountain National park southeast entrance, and if you like to be away from the tourist traffic. The room is comfortable and bathroom very dated. It is a quick drive into town. What the lodge fails to mention is that they do not offer any daily service. So if you plan to stay multiple days, that means no clean towels or additional toilet paper. Maybe you can ask- but that requires finding someone to ask. After we checked in, we never saw a front desk person until we left.
Simi
The carpet in the room was dirty and smelly
Joshua
Neat place. Nice and quiet with kind staff.
Emily
Close to Rocky and that was really all we needed!
Lora
It was a good area but I didn't like that it had no fridge in the rooms or microwave. I definitely didnt like the bed was very old and uncomfortable!!! Staff was definitely nice.
Sunil
Beautiful property in a great location. Staff very warm and friendly. Very safe and comfortable place in a beautiful setting.
Sharon
The shower wasn't connected to the faucet in the tub. The water was light brown colored It left grit on your skin. I brought bottled water which we used for tooth brushing and drinking.The lock on the back door had a loose plate so it did not work.There is no signage when you arrive or directions to check-in. The internet is very spotty.
Timothy
The room was nice and the view is beautiful, but the information on Expedia describing it as a B&B is false; there aren't any amenities
David
Being able to wake up to the Rocky Mountains and stroll down the gravel road to see some horses

Adriana
The Dao House was a wonderful get away and a great place to enjoy quiet time with nature.
Paul
A Lovely Quite setting near Estes Park, Colorado.
I must admit when I discovered that we would be virtually be \"cold turkey\" off our computer, phone, and tv, we were delighted to enjoy a mind-cleansing evening of quiet peace and lightness. I highly recommend this location, the staff and feeling of well-being when you leave the property
Hugh
We stayed here needing a room for the evening only but after my stay, i was very impressed with the possibilities of the overall facility. This would be an excellent place for a family reunion, business conference, wedding, anniversary party, etc. The place is very large, open with large rooms for meetings, parties, training, or whatever your needs. The outside area is immense and very beautiful. The staff was so very polite and accommodating, my guess is they would be outstanding to plan your next special event here. The location is far enough from Estes Park to be quiet yet close enough to run for any needs. I loved the place and see the possibilities with someone who loves to plan new and fun events. I would give them a call. Our room was very nice, spacious and very clean. I highly recommend this facility even for one night stays too.

The property and experience was great. It was nice to immerse into nature and stay in a more rustic lodging. Was not aware that the room did not have its own fridge, and that cellphone reception was non-existent with minimal internet. But it was not a deal breaker and we enjoyed our stay.
Sonia
We saw one staff member for 10 mins on the day of check in and check out. We were there for 2 nights, our car was the only one besides staff car. I don’t think there were any guests in our building. It was very strange and weird, we never saw any people in the lobby. Reception area was always empty. Room was clean. There are no facilities on the property except water and coffee in the lobby till 8 am.
Cheryl
This property has lots of potential but it seems neglected with no amenities at this point in time. Not even a coffee maker or fridge (or TV, on purpose) in the room. And my phone didn’t work at all when I was there. I was told the property was recently sold so maybe it will be redone in time. When we were there, it was desolate. Only about 4 cars in the parking lot at any given time. It felt a little weird. But like I said, the place has all kinds of potential. But there’s nothing going on there right now.
On the plus side, it’s away from all the bustle of the city, very quiet, kinda quaint, and most importantly clean.

worst experience in my life. no microwave and no small refrigerator in room. no staff on duty in whole place. causing itching in my chest and back with their bed. Guest wifi is a joke and interrupted every 30 minutes (need to restart your phone and reconnect). Also wifi bandwidth is ridiculously slow.

The description says it’s no frills. That is accurate. The fire place area is beautiful tho

We told them WiFi didn’t work and we were told to turn phone off then on again ; it didn’t work at all the first time we stayed their 7/27/23 and we tried to cancel our second reservation on the return trip 7/31/23 and was told they would not give us a refund so we were forced to stay again or lose our $197 deposit; Expedia even called them on our behalf, in advance and were told they would not let us out of the second reservation without penalty; Well guess what WiFi didn’t work again; couldn’t check into our flight because of no service; also there is no air conditioning in this facility and room gets very hot And uncomfortable; opening windows didn't help nor did the old ceiling fan in the room; bathroom is tiny and old; toilet is low to the ground and the bath tub is old and you have to step over it in a confined space to try to get a shower; getting out of the shower is very dangerous because it is so slippery; this bathroom is not for older adults that have difficulty with balance and knee issues; for the price of this place per night you would expect better facilities; also no food on property; you need to bring your own and put it in a tiny community fridge near a tiny microwave or drive to find a places to eat; the only amenity is free ice water or hot tea and an apple or orange if any are left in bowl; you can buy a can of soda for $2 and a bag of snack chips for an inflated price if you are hungry.

Beautiful space with comfortable relaxed atmosphere. They had an outside fire put area which was just a short walk from the main lodge. Beautiful main lobby space.
Smells a bit like horses outside but not a major deterent.
Lived the location and how close ot was yo hiking and away from the business of Estes Park, but close enough to go down there for food etc.

Lots of potential here! The theme is weird and just doesn’t fit the property. Its an overall beautiful place, gorgeous scenery and the private entrance was a bonus. The Wi-Fi was not good but served us on an as needed basis. Nice location, quiet and comfortable.

Great if you know what to expect.
This was a nice relaxing place to stay. Just know what to expect. There is no air conditioning, no tv’s and very limited Wi-Fi. This is very good or very bad depending upon your expectations. We knew this going in, but heard others complaining, which we rolled our eyes at. The rooms were a bit hot at night, but if you crack your windows during the day, it helps tremendously. The staff was very friendly and the views are terrific! It was an overall positive experience.

Perfect for a short stay
Short stay just the one night ….was perfect for what I needed.

The location is great, you can sit on the back porch and look at Longs Peak. Its quite and gives you a chance to get away. The style is older and could benefit from some renovations. The staff is also small and not always at the front but not a huge deal. Overall, it was exactly what I was looking for to do some hiking in the park.
