Stayed in one of the smaller rooms which was very nice. Loved the quiet location right next to the mountain stream and enjoyed the one block walk 'into town.' Tom and his wife were very accommodating, and so was Carol. Would definitely like to come back. Madison, WI More

We stayed in the "Chickadee" Cottage in early July 2011. The cottage itself was very cute. It had a nice size living room/kitchen area. The kitchen came equipped with pots, pans, plates, glasses, and utensils. We did use the stove and found it to be well maintained. The bathroom was cute, but a little oddly positioned.The toilet was up against... More

I've been coming here for several years and this time was the BEST! I've always stayed in the cabins, which are great, but this time in a lodge room and it was wonderful as well! Sitting by the river is soooo peaceful! The food at the restaurant is superb and what a view! Can't wait to be here for the... More

We stayed at Rapids Lodge in July. Stayed in one of their adult rooms in the lodge. The rooms there are very quaint and I loved the old lodge feel. Our room was nicely decorated and the bed felt comfortable. The owners were a Mr. & Mrs. The Mrs. was very nice, sweet, and helpful with everything. We liked her... More

Booked "cabin" sleeps 4. Not really. Sleeps 2 average sized adults in double bed and a ratty old mattress on a futon big enough for 2 small children or an average adult.in living room. Property decimated by "BARK BEETLE" so all pretty trees gone. Get to look at dumpsters and gravel parking lots, trailers and propane tanks. Noisy location on... More

We stayed in Rapids condo 5. There are many lodging options here and its hard to visualize from the website. The front desk was very helpful in helping choose the best accommodations for us. You open your door to the sound of rapids rushing by! Very relaxing and clean condo. Nice restaurant too More

The Rapids is a collection of lodge rooms, condos, and pet-friendly cabins. The rooms are well appointed for any season, and the river view condos offer a wonderful view. The location is can't be beat, as it is one block off the main street, two blocks from the beach, and backs up to the river which provides a relaxing setting... More

When e-mailing with staff, I had a good experience with assistance in choosing a cabin for my husband and his parents to stay in during a visit to RMNP. When I called to make the reservation, the man I spoke with was rude to me about the fact that I was not personally staying, but was making the reservation for... More
