My fiancé and I are getting married here July 14 of this summer. After a psychotic and seemingly endless search for a venue up in the Grand Vally, we finally found the heavenly oasis which is strawberry creek ranch 9n. I can give you another review after we actually have our wedding here, but what I can tell you for now is that this place feels like home. Family run, goodhearted people. Reasonably priced for what's in the area, and they include the tent the chairs the tables and an area for bride and groom to get ready. The place is stunning and you can tell Troy and his family have worked hard to make it both rustic and classy. I started crying during the tour, I can't believe that we are so lucky to get to commit our lives to each other in such a beautiful place.

What a find! For years, we have passed this B&B on the way in from US 40 on the local road to…read moreDevil's Thumb, always wondering what it was like and vowing to try it some day. The xc skiing at Devil's Thumb has always been a favorite for us, as far back as the 70's when it was just a rustic ski trail system with a small nordic supply shop. In recent years it became a full fledged resort with lodging where we have often stayed. We have also stayed in Winter Park, about 15 minutes away and driven over to ski. But we have now found our new favorite option. This is such a lovely place, both the facility and the charming staff. It is a better price value for us than some of the other options in the area, yet more than a simple motel in town. You know, like Goldilocks, "just right." I especially want to note that the (included) breakfast that host John cooks for the guests was wonderful, some sweet, some savory, warm, homemade, natural and ample for the start of even an hearty ski day. They take note in advance of special food needs and serve with a choice of time options. The log style of the building is rustic but nicely furnished. The rooms are well designed and furnished with high quality linens and have lots of storage as some guests stay for weeks. The views from each room are very pretty, some to the Continental Divide, some to the woodland. Every single staff member was friendly and helpful. The central lounge area was large, comfortable, attractive and clean and with a central fireplace. There are also some other smaller gathering areas to sit and talk or read if you wish to be outside your room. And there are also some family and dog friendly cabins on site if you want more than a bedroom. Personally, the rooms in the main inn are just right for my needs. We will absolutely be back. It is convenient to local xc skiing and also just a 15 minute drive past the Winter Park Resort and not far at all from several quality dinner options. We met other guests using the lodging for all of these reasons.

This year my friends and family rented the entire place and it was awesome. In the last 5 years since Edie & Doug took over, the place has transformed for the better and you can see the changes and improvements every year. This year I had 34 friends and family with me. I had cousins aged 2 to my grandfather (papa) aged 84! We had a great family vacation and all look forward to doing it again next year. I knew all it would take is getting my family up here once. Let me explain everything you need to know about the place and then you make your decision! -The place is NOT new, but renovations and improvements every year! New TVs this year! :-) -It is a little bit campy but in all the awesome ways! -Some of the units are nicer then others but they all have their own charm! -Your refrigerator in your room might be from the 60's, they work just fine & once again charm! -The owners and operators - Edie & Doug are friendly and accommodating ! -This place IS doggy friendly! Only 1 unit doesn't allow dogs! -There is a communal deck in the back and the views are magnificent! -There is a Marina next door called Beacon Landing that rents boats, slips, etc. -Every unit is equipped with pots, pans, silverware, glasses, etc. (don't need to pack these)! -There is a variety of water crafts - paddle boards, canoes, paddle boat, kayaks (all free)! -You are 10 minutes from Grand Lake, shopping & restaurants! -The place is "most times" water front, depends on lake water levels which they don't control IGNORE the previous post as the Lodge/Resort have NO control over the water levels of Lake Granby! While we were there the water levels were at peak and this was 7/29/16-8/1/16. The Lake was about 10 feet from the fire pit. 2 or 3 years ago the water levels were low and you had to walk to the lake. It doesn't take away from the views and once again they have NO control over water levels in Lake Granby!

I guess I wasn't friendly enough because the place wanted to kick me out even though I didn't break any rules. I was just not friendly because I was grieving. All I needed was a place to grieve in peace until I figured out my next move. But they couldn't give that to me. When I asked about changing reservations, they asked how soon can I leave? I've never been asked that before even on a good day. Come to find out the woman has a reputation in town for being rude and driving people out of the park. Congratulations, you got one more.

Picture this: Sicily, 1942…read more Just kidding. Any Golden Girls fans? The man and I were in town during the 3 Lakes Ice Fishing Tournament this February, and had reservations at the Inn at Silvercreek for our time up in Granby; this location was super central to the surrounding area, and had so many different conveniences in close proximity - grocery store, restaurant options, liquor store (lol), bait shop, etc. The lodge is pretty big, and is most certainly a popular spot for people in the area to stay. What we didn't realize at the time, though, was that most units are privately owned, and vary significantly in quality/upkeep. So, rather than making reservations through the hotel itself, many of the units are posted on sites like Air BNB, and you can get a feel for what it is that you're getting for your stay (this is definitely something we plan on doing the next time we're in town). Parking is a little tough in the front of the building, but there are tons and tons of spots in the back when you actually get your room. Since we were there during such a busy time of year, the parking lot was jam packed, but I imagine it's super easy to find a good spot most other times of the year. Anyway. I was a little surprised by how well kept the main area of the hotel was for as old as it was; carpets were in pretty good condition, fixtures, wood on the walls, everything. Once we got to the front desks, a young man got us all squared away, and went the extra mile to be sure we were comfortable with what we were getting. My BF was on crutches at the time, so getting around was a little difficult, but this man offered a room that might be a bit easier for us to get to, and looked for rooms as close to the elevator as possible. He was super sweet, and we really appreciated his attentiveness. After checking in, we wanted to unload all our belongings into the room to get settled in for the weekend. One thing I really liked about this place was what I saw on the walk to our room... barber shop, tattoo parlor, small library, children's play area, arcade, full blown bar, and a separate (really nice) restaurant... it was insane! I'm sure there are other places that exist that are packed full of other businesses like this, but it'd been the first time I'd ever seen such a thing, and it was so rad! We were super excited to hit up the bar and arcade at that point. Now before, I said how refreshing it was that the older interior of the lobby area was so well kept. Our room... not so much. It was definitely old and worn: the heating unit was one of the old school types along the floor (which I'm sure everyone has stubbed a toe on at least once in their lives), the carpet wasn't too impressive, and the walls/fixtures were just super outdated. The whole room just felt kind of old and musty. It was also pretty small; definitely smaller than any other hotel room I've ever been in, and felt pretty cramped. This wasn't the end of the world, but now we know that Airbnb is the way to go next time we find ourselves in Granby. Over the weekend, we visited their in house restaurant a couple of times, and each time, the food was super delicious. Since I'm waiting so long to actually review this place, I don't remember what we had, exactly, but it was so so yummy each time we went. The waitstaff was pretty awesome and attentive, and the dining area wasn't ever really packed, so we felt at ease and relaxed both times we dined, which is always super key for us. We didn't spend much time in any of the fancy shops and stuff they had, but we did go to the arcade once (or twice?) to play air hockey, and had a blast together. It did get a little crowded at one point, which was our cue to boogie, but we had fun nonetheless. As a whole, I think that this place really has it going on. There's a lot to do to entertain yourself in the building, which is awesome. The lakes aren't too far away, either, so you can enjoy the outdoors and come back to a super bomb meal. I think my only complaint is that I could have been more comfortable in the room if it had been better maintained and taken care of, but it wasn't horrible, and I still had a great weekend. I'd definitely stay here again, and hope to at some point in the next year!

What really made this trip stand out was staying in a condo in Basecamp One. The ski-in/ski-out access was incredibly convenient and added such an extra layer of ease and enjoyment to the whole experience. Being able to step right out and onto the mountain (and back again) made everything feel that much more relaxed and enjoyable. The resort itself has such a welcoming, laid-back atmosphere, making it perfect for families, beginners, or anyone who just wants to enjoy skiing without the pressure of more intense terrain. The slopes are wide, well-groomed, and especially friendly for first-time or casual skiers--you can really take your time and enjoy yourself. The bistro was another highlight once again--the food is excellent and far better than what you might expect from a typical ski resort. It's the perfect place to warm up and recharge. The vibe across the mountain is always a good time. There's great music playing, and you can hear the sounds of wintertime fun all around--laughter, skis carving through snow, and that lively energy that makes a day on the mountain so special. If you're not a regular skier or just want to avoid risking bodily injury on more challenging runs, Granby Ranch is absolutely the place to go. It's fun, approachable, and consistently delivers a great experience. We'll definitely be back again.

They even used the front yard space and driveway to make a beautiful sit down area with low benches and pillows with lace wrapping around the yard to make for an intimate and private event.

So when the weekend took us to Granby, we decided to kick off the weekend at Granby Ranch. STAR #1 - While we chose to only play 9 holes, it is an 18 hole course.

STAR #4 - They do offer up a driving range to get a little warm-up in before you hit the course. Even better, the range was included in the greens fee. The only drawback was that it was a little on the pricey side at $120 for my husband and I for just 9 holes, While I'm not the strongest golfer, I still had a blast!
