Budget
"Built in 1925, it is a compound of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom cabins. The property feels like a retro summer camp for adults,
without televisions or phones." Full review
Fodor's
"Imagine: a hike through the Flatirons, a quick shower in your cottage, dinner at the dining hall, a Josh Ritter show at the auditorium, and a drink back on your front porch with friends." Full review

"Gilded Age relic of a hotel, with a classic metal-grille elevator, a carved wooden staircase, and an illuminated stained glass ceiling...rooms are less opulent than the communal areas, but great value"
Frommer's
"The colorful stained-glass ceiling and cantilevered cherrywood staircase are other reminders of days past, along with the rich woodwork of the balusters around the mezzanine." Full review
