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.

Great location, nice log lodge atmosphere. Unfortunately, we were given a room wierdly sandwiched between the restaurant and the "great" room where the morning coffee bar and most socializing were located. No soundproofing, so very noisy. Food in restaurant was excellent, but we had to wait an hour and a half to get served. I do believe that was just bad timing, and that this is not the norm.

A very quaint experience. In the middle of nowhere a very rustic lodge. Staff were awesome, we got a bigger room after finding the first one a bit too small. The heating panel didn't work properly in our room but it was solved with a space heater that worked well. The onsite restaurant is excellent; too bad they don't serve breakfast, only dinner.

Rustic charm meets modern art

Nestled in quiet little valley with a stream, large, clean, rustic cabin with a great room and on-site restaurant, variety of interesting metal artworks both inside and out on the grounds, including a xylophone sound garden, close to Boulder and Upper and Lower Creek Calf Falls just a few minutes down the old Hells Backbone road. Very friendly staff.
