“For the last 8 years this place has done me and my nebraska friends so well we keep coming back. From the hot tub to the babbling brook, this place serves up adventure right outside your door. We saw a bear once. Two ravens stalked us for nuts. The cabin has the most comfortable couch, the queen suite was super adorable. The random people we've met over the years from locals to travelers have all been amazing people. It really is our home away from home”
“We came to Boulder to visit our son for a few days and he recommended that we stay at this a-lodge. It is fantastic! Up the mountain, set in the nature, very close to Boulder, but also a little out of town, spacious and extremely comfortable room and bed. One of the nicest places we’ve stayed in Colorado on our 2 Week Rd. trip. We stayed in a private queen room, and it was completely modern and clean and excellent!”
“This place was great for a quick night/weekend away. The hot tub was our main reason for booking, which no one else seemed to take advantage of. It was nice to have it to ourselves every time we went in. We also partially booked here for the sauna, not realizing that you have to pay more to reserve it. Which is understandable, but I wish was more clear in the booking details. The pool was closed but I didn't see that on the booking details either. It said heated, so I thought perhaps it would be open. The staff were very nice and helpful. My only complaints would be our bed was SUPER firm and I didn’t sleep well on it. Also, there is no ice on the property, which I don’t love. Otherwise, this place was great and a nice place to not have service and get away for a night or so.”
“It's a beautiful and quiet place, everyone is so friendly and it's a great location. What I didn't like was the fact the street is dirt and when the wind flows and the cars run over it almost looks like fog and it gets into your mouth and nose even a little bit inside the room. So sorry to have to say this. I would definitely come back if this issue is addressed. Thanks for your attention!!”
“Boulder Colorado is a pricey place to stay so finding this comfortable and quiet hideaway in the mountains was so perfect. The A-Lodge sit in a wooded area up the canyon next to a stream. We are staying in a cute and functional room. Just what we are looking for during our stay. I am happy to have a mini-fridge with the little ice section for blue ice and enough space in the fridge to put our cooer items inside. The microwave and little sink with dish soap, sponge, dish cloth and paper towel are all appreciated. We were able to eat our meals at the little table with two chair comfortably. There is plenty of light in the rooms. The bed is comfortable so we slept well. We are enjoying our stay here and it is just the first night.”
“Was a great location for going off and adventuring. The rooms are simple but fit the bill for sleeping in between adventures. Enjoyed the hot tub both days as well as a complimentary sauna spot during the communal hours. They were easy to communicate with and made right a scheduling snafu from their end very nicely. Plan to come back for more adventure time in the later spring.”
“Stayed here for one night. Rooms were very clean, and beds were comfortable, with plenty of pillows. The shower looked up to date and modern. Kitchen was convenient, wi-fi worked well, and the tv had numerous free channels. I was able to take a hike with my dog without needing to drive to a trailhead. The trip to downtown is very short if driving, and walkable along a pedestrian path if you have the energy.”
