Avison Young is pleased to present the opportunity to acquire Expedition Lodge Estes Park, a 150-room lodging asset strategically positioned in one of Colorado's most supply-constrained and resilient mountain resort markets.
Located at 1701 North Lake Avenue, Estes Park, Colorado, the Property sits less than two miles from downtown Estes Park and approximately ten minutes from the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park, one of the most visited national parks in the United States. As the primary gateway lodging market serving Rocky Mountain National Park, Estes Park benefits from consistent year-round tourism demand driven by outdoor recreation, destination travel, and multi-night leisure stays.
The Property consists of 150 guestrooms across a combination of exterior and interior corridor buildings. Currently, 132 guestrooms are available for public lodging, while the remaining rooms are utilized as employee housing. This unique configuration provides immediate operational flexibility and creates an attractive opportunity for investors seeking workforce housing exposure, hospitality operations, or a hybrid strategy.
Purchased and substantially renovated in 2023, Expedition Lodge has not yet reached operational stabilization, creating a compelling value-add opportunity through revenue management, operational optimization, repositioning, and potential rebranding initiatives. While portions of the Colorado lodging market experienced modest softening in 2025, Estes Park has continued to outperform surrounding markets due to its unique positioning as the primary access point to Rocky Mountain National Park and the area's severe lodging supply constraints.
Long-term market fundamentals remain highly favorable. Significant capital investment throughout Estes Park, including redevelopment initiatives at landmark properties such as the Stanley Hotel, is expected to further strengthen destination appeal, expand shoulder-season visitation, and support long-term asset appreciation. Combined with restrictive development conditions created by surrounding protected lands and national park boundaries, the market offers durable barriers to entry and limited future supply growth.
Expedition Lodge presents investors with a rare opportunity to acquire scale in a premier mountain resort destination while benefiting from multiple avenues for value creation and long-term growth.
