We had the most wonderful weekend in Grand Lake staying here at Lupine Village. I'm honestly so…read moresurprised to see bad reviews, but I know sometimes things happen. We had a 5 star experience during our stay. It was quiet because some of the businesses had closed for the season and only half of the cabins were booked so I'm curious how things would be during the summer when it's busy. First off, Mike and Ali are great owners. You can tell they put a lot of love and care into this place. We stayed in the Angler cabin and it was SPOTLESS. I love the exposed wood and the furniture was all super comfy. Some of my main requirements for staying somewhere are safety, comfort, and cleanliness & they nailed it in every category. The amenities are a nice to have too. The location is great, just a short walk up from the main road with all the shops and restaurants and another block up from the lake. It's perfectly centralized and sits among other homes/cabins. The "village" is set up like a grid with all the cabins enclosed inside of a wooden gate and there's a super cute and cozy hangout pergola in the middle with a fire pit and cornhole boards. There's plenty of seating around the quaint property and each cabin comes with a picnic table, grill, and Adirondack chairs. The check-in process was easy-peasy and we were greeted with two complimentary Colorado beers in the fridge and a bottle of water. The cabin is equipped with everything you could possibly need - cooking tools and basic seasonings, coffee maker, towels, extra blankets, a dishwasher. The water pressure in the shower was great. There's a canteen on the property where you can rent movies, games, outdoor equipment, yoga mats, etc at no cost and there are also necessities for purchase. It's a touchless system which is nice. I can't say enough about how wonderful Lupine Village is and I can't wait to come back!

Below is a real and honest review from a real traveler / yelper I say in the range: 3, 4, 5 start resorts, budget VRBOs, and even 1 star motels. Heck one of my favorite places is the Best Western in Winterpark built in the early 80s... it ain't the Ritz! But for $250-300 per night for a 1 bed room + kitchen in Grand Lake without any view, next to an alley... it should be a lot better than this place The good... Everything was clean. Appliances, fans, heaters, dishes, pots/pans, etc were all in good shape and worked properly. The OMG... 2 kids 2 adults... each take 4 to 5 minute showers. You guessed it! Most days only enough Hot water for 2 to 2.5 showers. Oddly, water pressure was good) but if you turn on the cold water, it was so cold you'd freeze, literally, even when the hot was on full blast. Yes owners are nice and attentive but our cabin is a hodge podge patchwork of broken, worn out, poorly installed DIY, and some just plain missing items (some cabinet doors) Kitchen floor sloped a LOT It was annoying every time you walked on the slanted floor. Sofa Bed sagged, 80% of it. The "solution" is in the photos. Yeah, hey... I get it, a $100 sofa set from Big Lots will do that... so leave those to the college kids and get a decent quality set for your full time rental! Kitchen counter was screwed together -- sitting on top of the free cabinets ok, not all cabinets 'need' doors I know, not a huge deal, but it was obvious these cabinets had them and were freebies since under the sink were two end cabinets, not a single sink cabinet and you removed the drawer and screwed the drawer front on... classy! Tile work in the tiny shower... stop, please... you are not good at that, and you tried to be fancy... wow, no - just no! Shower valves... nice job letting water get into the wall without handle covers over the tile... I'm assuming more freebies and didnt want to spend money so ... holes in the wall, no problem Bathroom Fan/Light... WOW, this is LOUD... it vibrated the entire room, not kidding. The only other light was above the sink and the switch was not in reach from the door, no matter how tall you are. made finding it at night difficult. They need to separate the light and the humidity fan to 2 separate switches... oh, and make it so the fan doesnt sound/feel like the space shuttle is lifting off Bedroom... bed was comfortable, no issues there. But the bed took up the entire room, literally... only about 20" of space on any side... and you could not even open up a carry on on the floor except at the foot of the bed... then you are stepping over your luggage constantly.

The Gateway Inn is a beautiful property nestled just west of downtown (walking distance for those…read morewithout mobility issues). Each room is decorated with an outdoor theme (very lodge-like). We had the "Bear Room" (with the cutest decorative pillows and comforter). It was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. The bonus was the balcony with a great view! Each room has a microwave, mini-fridge, hairdryer, and shower essentials. I would recommend calling direct for packages and special offers before checking online travel sites. We secured a very reasonable rate for the Corvette Car Show weekend. The Gateway Inn has a hot tub, sauna, a nice lounge (another of my "patio places to go" collection) as well as a Keurig alongside a vending machine at the front lobby. Plenty of parking for passenger vehicles and trailers alike!

This hotel has lots of parking, a coffee shop, bar, restaurant, hot tub, friendly staff, clean rooms and a comfortable "lodge" feel. Rooms have a small fridge and microwave oven. Very accommodating.

It may not be in "town", but has everything one might need for the evening! (Town in 10 min walk away)

There is no AC!!. My wife and I were on our anniversary vacation from Texas to a beautiful…read morelocation. We stayed one night with our window open and blinds open just to get a little air in the burning up room. Our room was at the top of the stairwell where everyone going up or down could see into our room, but if we would have closed the shades or window it would have been too hot even on top of the cover where we stayed. We could only stay one night even though I had booked four. The owner refused to reimburse any of my money. He actually said if I checked out by 10am and someone else booked it he would give some of my money back, but when I checked out before 10am they didn't even list the room on the sites. I am guessing they probably found a way to rent it and also take my over $1000 for three more nights. I feel like the owner is a con man! The room is truly ugly. ex: old green tile shower from the 60's... The view is beautiful, the staff is sweet and the location on the boardwalk is great, but in July it needs AC! It never advertised that it did not have AC like other places ex: YMCA hotel. Please do not fall into the same trap I did. It cost me over $1000 on my every five year anniversary with my wife to find out.

The manager (owner?) was very nice and accommodating, the room was clean and nice, if not a bit small, and the whole place was charming with a killer view. Only three stars because of the missing "B", but when you paid the extra (which then makes this higher end hotel room prices) the breakfast was pretty "meh". A microwaved quiche wasn't to my taste as it was flavorless and had a very rubbery texture. The blueberry muffin was delicious, and the tiny slice of ham was good too. Your breakfast won't even look anywhere close to the pictures on their website, it is neither gourmet or very good (except the muffin).

I don't know if I can say enough good things about Club Hotel…read more The entire experience had a bed-and-breakfast feel without being a traditional bed-and-breakfast. Check-in was fantastic, and the hospitality and friendliness set the tone for the entire stay. We stayed on the first floor in The Stanley, and the room felt surprisingly spacious thanks to the high ceilings. The bathroom was large, the room was exceptionally clean, and thoughtful touches were everywhere. The soaps were great, there were plenty of towels, and we appreciated having pour over coffee and creamers available both in the room and on each floor. They provide a couple of bottles of water and a lotion as well. One thing we really enjoyed was that the hotel never felt crowded or busy. There wasn't always someone stationed at the front desk, which may not be for everyone, but for us it made the place feel more like a home than a hotel. Coming and going felt effortless and comfortable. The location is excellent - just a block from Miner Street and easy walking distance to restaurants, shops, and everything downtown Idaho Springs has to offer. The complimentary parking across the street was another huge plus, especially since free parking can be hard to find in town. The history of the building adds to the charm, and it's clear the owners have put a lot of thought into preserving that character while creating a comfortable place to stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

I truly loved everything about my stay, from the ease of the keycard for my room, to being able to log into my streaming services on the TV (and be automatically logged out after check out). They have room service from the steakhouse right next door, and it is fantastic. A very streamlined, well done hotel experience. They also take care of your parking if you park in the lot adjacent to the hotel; everything is within walking distance anyway! For anyone who is looking for a weekend getaway or lodging for an event in Idaho Springs, I'm not sure there is a comparison. Thank you!!

We had looked for a hotel in the area but none had great reviews, so we hunted for a BnB. Luckily we found Aspen Hollow, such a nice place to stay. We arrived and were greeted by Marilyn, shown a great and comfortable room, and were treated to a couple glasses of wine before we turned in. This place has a lot to offer, there is a recreational space with hot tub, sauna and big screen tv with tons of movies, as well as a separate great room for peaceful relaxation as it overlooks the valley of Granby and has a huge fireplace that must be amazing in the winter. We got up in the morning to coffee waiting for us, and a delicious breakfast, fresh fruit, powdered sugar french toast and sausage. I am so glad we stayed here. I was hesitant at first because there wasn't a lot of info about this place but it turned out to be a great decision. We will be going back for sure. A couple of things I will say that were unique about this place that really struck me as fantastic and unusual. First, the quality of the building is pretty high, the floors are tile and heated, so in the great room on the mail floor your feet are warmly greeted in the morning for breakfast. Another thing I noticed is there are a lot of quality in the details. The bed was extremely comfortable, the linens were top notch. Many times when staying in places such as these, and others like vbro or airbnb you find that people just want to make a buck without giving a quality overall experience. Many times you find that people cheap out, and this place does not. The level of quality is very high, so high that despite not having family or anything in Granby, we will likely go back to just relax for a few days because it was such a good experience. I would recommend checking this place out.
