Columbine Inn

Quiet Mountain Comfort Just Minutes from Live Music

Columbine Inn is a cozy, classic-style motel in scenic Estes Park, offering a peaceful mountain escape just a short drive from local concert venues and downtown nightlife. With a laid-back, retro vibe and stunning views of the Rockies, it’s a relaxing and budget-friendly base for music lovers. Guests enjoy free WiFi, private parking, and charming outdoor spaces like a BBQ area and sun terrace.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate the quiet location away from the busy downtown noise, perfect for winding down after a high-energy show. It’s only a few minutes by car or rideshare to popular venues in Estes Park, and the motel’s flexible outdoor common areas make it easy to relax with friends before or after the show. Although check-out is on the earlier side, the peaceful vibe and mountain air more than make up for it.

• Budget-conscious music fans who still want charm and comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, Columbine Inn has barbecue facilities for guests to use, and it’s just a short walk or drive to local eateries, from casual diners to mountain pubs. Coffee shops and breakfast spots are nearby for a late-morning bite after a night of music.

Nightlife Options

Though the motel itself is low-key, you’re just minutes from downtown Estes Park’s bars, local taprooms, and laid-back lounges offering live music and late-night drinks. The peaceful setting makes it easy to enjoy the scene and then return to a quiet room.

What People Say
