Escape to a private mountain retreat bordering Roosevelt National Forest, just minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park. With soaring wood ceilings, panoramic windows, a wraparound deck, and peaceful forest surroundings, Astral Peaks blends upscale comfort with authentic Colorado mountain living.

Astral Peaks is especially popular for wedding weekends and mountain getaways thanks to its combination of privacy, luxury, and proximity to some of the area’s most sought-after venues.

Sundance Film Festival: The Best of Boulder and the Mountains

Astral Peaks is designed for travelers who want more from their Sundance trip than a place to sleep between screenings. Make the festival part of a broader Colorado vacation: attend events in Boulder, then return to a peaceful mountain retreat where you can relax by the fire, prepare dinner in the chef’s kitchen, enjoy the forest views, or plan the next day’s adventure.

The cabin is approximately 40 minutes from Boulder under normal driving conditions. From Astral Peaks, guests can combine Sundance with:

Rocky Mountain National Park and the Wild Basin entrance
Lily Lake and the Longs Peak Trailhead
Estes Park
Nederland
Skiing at Eldora Mountain Resort
Hiking, snowshoeing, fishing, scenic drives, and mountain lakes
Quiet evenings by the fireplace or on the wraparound deck
