At The Appenzell Inn we call a single room unit a Studio, a unit with a Living Room plus a separate Bedroom is a One-Bedroom, a unit with a Living Room and two Bedrooms is a Two Bedroom unit.  Because our Living Rooms also contain a sofa sleeper, we should probably call our units One, Two, and Three Bedroom types.  We also call some of our Rooms, Studio Suites because they are larger one-room units with kitchenettes, eating areas and sitting areas.  Technically we could call them One-Bedroom Suites, but we don’t think that would be accurate.

As a marketing strategy, I suppose it’s smart to make your rooms seem more than what they are, but our strategy is to be honest with our guests so that they are pleasantly surprised, not dissapointed when they arrive.

If you thought shopping for a terrific Estes Park hotel was going to be easy, maybe not, unless you do your homework.  At The Appenzell Inn, what you see and what we describe are what you’re going to get, and if something is not quite up to snuff, we’ll do everything within reason to fix it.

Thank you for visiting this site and thank you for considering The Appenzell Inn, your Estes Park hotel.

Grand Lake seems to be holding its own, what with the beetles and the economy.  There’s even a new theatre being built on the main street, which is more than I can say for Estes Park. (Just a little prod to the people in office)  Grand Lake is a neat little village with a bit of an old west flavor and a few primitive looking cabins, houses and businesses.

We had a little luck fishing even though we weren’t able to spend a lot of time nor were we able to pick the optimum times.  Keeping our 10 year old granddaughter from getting bored can be a challenge but so far so good.

It’s nice to come back to our home at The Appenzell Inn, refreshed and ready to take on a busy fall season.  The Elk are moving on down and looking very fit and ready for the annual mating season called The Rut, which is a big attraction.  For that reason alone you should book a few nights at your favorite Estes Park hotel, The Appenzell Inn.

Today we’re taking our granddaughter over to Grand Lake for a couple of nights.  We’ll try some fishing, a little shopping, check out a couple of restaurants, and always be on the lookout for Moose.

While the accommodations in Grand Lake aren’t as numerous as Estes Park hotels, there are a few nice places that we can recommend as you travel from or to your destination at The Appenzell, your Estes Park hotel.

There’s no better exercise than a half hour or more just playing games with the kids or swimming laps or even running in place.  And it’s easy on the joints.

When deciding on which Estes Park hotel to stay at this time, don’t forget to see if they have a pool for your use. No? Then it’s time to make The Appenzell Inn your Estes Park hotel for having a good time and exercise too.

And bring you fishing gear as there are still some large trout that have endured through the summer.  Book your favorite Estes Park hotel today; The Appenzell Inn, for the view, a great room and warm hospitality.
