Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The bathroom seemed to be clean but what would really make it nice is if there were a few rugs in there. Like a bath mat to step on when you get out of the shower and a rug under the sink. The sink is really narrow and it's hard to even wash your face without getting water all over the floor. A rug to soak up the water would be extra nice. There is a broom in the room to sweep up dirt but while we were there it rained. It would be nice if there was a rug at the door to dry off wet feet. Also, it would be nicer if the curtains covered the whole window. Right now, there is a 6 inch gap on both sides of the windows by the front door that never cover up.

Great location, rustic and had charm . The 3 bedroom cabin only has 1 bathroom on the first floor and it was hard to get that info beforehand in detail. Not convenient for a group considering the 2 bedroom next door has 2 bathrooms. Rooms comfy enough but not fancy . The floors were awful , full of dog hair, clumps of human hair, gross. Secondly had to wash every dish we used. Not cleaned properly.

Ok alternative near Boulder

This hotel is convenient if you are trying to spend time in Boulder or want to be a little off the beaten path. Disappointing that none of the windows had screens on them that you could get fresh air and so the small rooms feel kind of cramped. Polyester sheets not my favorite. The staff is very friendly

A Unique Stay Under the Stars—with a Few Bumps

We had a mostly enjoyable stay at this property. The main guest house was a lovely place to unwind, and the complimentary breakfast was a pleasant and unexpected bonus. The staff was friendly and made a genuine effort to assist us throughout our stay. The yurt itself was a unique experience—just as pictured, with a cozy interior and a peaceful setting. One of the highlights was definitely stargazing at night, which was beautiful. That said, there were a few hiccups. When we arrived at check-in time, the yurt wasn’t quite ready, which caused a bit of a delay. We also had trouble connecting to the Wi-Fi inside the yurt, even though it was advertised as being available. The staff did try to help, but unfortunately, we were never able to get it working. The bathroom setup was clean and included a shower, which we appreciated, but there were no instructions for using the hot water heater, which made it a little confusing to get started. Overall, it was a memorable experience with some room for improvement.

Wonder and delight to just look at the area.

What an amaxing place to stay. They give you many choices for breakfast it's an unattended breakfast but it's wonderful. I just couldn't get enough non decaf coffee pouches. There's cream there's yogurts there's cheese there's everything for you in the mornings. The staff is very happy to talk to you and tell you all about the area and help you with directions. Talk about a wonderful place to eat the restaurant is outstanding everything we ate there was delicious

Remote Mountain Getaway

Great location in the mountains on Hell’s Backbone Rd. Very fun and exciting to get out there. The property is beautiful and has a large lawn for events. Dog-friendly. This lodging is remote with no tv’s and with unreliable wi-fi. Room 5 in main lodge was small with only 1 ft on either side of the bed. No tables or surfaces to place your things except the inside of the armoire. Shower had poor water pressure. Best time we had was at the adjoining restaurant for dinner at sunset. Delicious food. Fantastic service. Beautiful views.
