I was attending a wedding and upon turning onto the clearly marked entrance road, the directional signage was great. As I went from registration to multiple locations to deliver wedding items, I found every location easily. The staff was warm and welcoming. The facilities were clean, tidy, and perfect for the occasion! I appreciated that everyone and everything was together in this special area which contributed to the cohesiveness of the event and experience. The lobby area in Silver Sage (2nd floor) was lovely! I had everything I needed and the bed was fresh and comfy - I slept well and had a great time at your facilities!
Wouldn’t come back. Came for tubing and swimming. Everything was closed, had to pay for other activities. Rooms are outdated with stains on furniture. Beds and pillows were incredibly uncomfortable.
Fortunately we live in Denver. I would have been more upset if I traveled from out of state for “included “ activities that were unavailable. How is the tubing hill closed with over a foot of snow on the ground.
My family lives nearby. I stayed in Indian Peaks Lodge. My room was very clean. Their in-room coffee is eeew weak and the coffee maker still had old water in it. The towels were bright, clean, white and extremely soft.
Good views from room and property. I drove all over the grounds, where allowed, took photos of trees changing colors. It's peaceful. The views of the huge mountains are so beautiful.
Sitting outside enjoying nature from my ground-level patio would have been better if the neighbor upstairs wasn't outside constantly on her phone. The upstairs patio is directly above the downstairs so any spills would come straight at the person underneath. Probably not the smartest design. Mostly, I enjoyed my room. There is no TV and I didn't miss it. It was functional. I appreciated the cleanliness of the hotel and grounds.
It's an amazing place to visit!
The good, the bad and the ugly of our stay at Snow Mountain Ranch!
I'll start with the good and preface by saying my husband and I and our dog stayed here for 4 days.
The Good
- Scenery and location
The Bag and the Ugly
-This cabin was way overpriced in my opinion for what we received. We paid just shy of $1,000 for three nights.
-Check in is quite late, 6PM. Check out is relatively early, 10 AM
-Cabins are very dated, musty, gross and uncleanly.
-My husband and I were only given 1 towel for our 4 days. It was very tiny and scratchy.
-Bed and linens were not comfortable, scratchy and hard
-Toilet paper is barley .5 ply if that. Holding it up, it's see through.
-Hair dryer smelt of burning fire so did not use as we didn't want a fire.
-On that note, the fire alarms kept going off when we would make breakfast because the oven isn't clean and smokes. Heard other cabins having the same issue for breakfast.
-The public toilets by the downhill tubing were disgusting with feces everywhere, plugged toilets, no toilet paper, no soap
- Maps given didn't have accurate information - campfire pits not located on map were they said they were (commons 2) and same with the mountain bike trails (didn't connect and weren't as stated).
-The Bike trails were unusable with downed trees and overgrown foliage.
-The "amenities" we wanted to use were extra or closed. To have a fire, you need to rent for $30 and they will give you wood for 20 minutes. There's also no seating at the fire pit so we had to sit on the ground. To buy more, it was $10 for another 20 minutes. When we got to fire pit, there was a ton of wood in the forest on the ground we could have use used they could have told us about. The dog park we wanted to use Saturday morning was closed.
-Staff didn't have general information we were asking and we kept getting transferred around. At one point, someone booked us a campfire at an entirely different YMCA.
-When we checked in to get our key to cabin, it took 45 minutes.
-To charge extra for our dog every night when already paying for a pet friendly cabin is a bit ridiculous especially considering how gross our cabin was and how much the $75 fee was.
-The cabin guestbook had been long filled up and not replaced in a very long time so others can't add.
-Charged wrong card after specifically asking not to use a certain one, required multiple on file.
-We were advised by others prior to our trip to not eat at the facilities due to food not being cooked/food poisoning issues so we packed our food in, so can't speak to food quality ourselves.
We will definitely NOT be staying here again or advising others to do so either. Scenery was gorgeous, though!
My experience at the YMCA was undoubtedly one of the most memorable in my life. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by a warm and energetic team that helped make each day special. The friendly environment and well-organized activities created a space where everyone felt motivated and connected.
The excursions were moments of pure adventure and learning. Each trip was carefully planned, offering both leisure and the opportunity to explore new places and engage with different cultures. The guides and staff were always attentive and concerned with everyone's well-being, making each experience even more enjoyable and safe.
The friendships I formed at the YMCA are, without a doubt, one of the greatest treasures I take with me. Working as a team and sharing moments with people from different backgrounds taught me so much about empathy, respect, and collaboration. The sense of community present at the YMCA showed me the true value of belonging to a group that supports one another.
Finally, the YMCA was not just a place where I worked and participated in activities; it was a space for personal and social growth. The development opportunities I was offered helped me improve important skills, both for my personal and professional life.
I highly recommend the YMCA to anyone looking for a unique experience filled with adventures, learning, and friendships that go beyond the time spent there. It is a place where the spirit of community and the desire to do good are present in every detail.
You spend only 100 hotel price but you can have all the resort ultimate standard service. Full size recreation center, delicious dinning hall with good price. And even you can ride horse here which is charged. Love this night. The room is a little bit hot they turn on the heater in August night. But after turning on the fan and open a little windows, we solve it perfectly
My husband, son and I were in Colorado for a religious retreat. When we were not at the conference we were exploring the many places that make that area of Colorado so special. We visited several restaurants and markets and some tourist attractions. One thing that was on our agenda was to go horseback riding! We decided to go to Snow Mountain Ranch where we were surrounded by such beautiful terrain and mountains. The staff at Snow Mountain Ranch were knowledgeable and helpful making sure that we felt safe. My “steed” was clever and knew how to make me relax. The trails meandered through paths and trees . There was just enough snow to give a Christmas postcard feeling. My husband and I had learned Western style horseback riding previously, so we were very happy to be able to ride during our trip to Snow Mountain Ranch. This was the highlight of our trip. I highly recommend this amazing place to all who want to experience the loveliness of the YMCA of the Rockies from up on a saddle.
Rustic, not an upscale hotel, we stayed in Aspenbrook Lodge. Dirt roads, parking lots. Prices too high compared with places like Holiday Inn or such, but the views and the nature are spectacular. Over $200 per day, but there was free mini golf, free tubing hill (1 session), hiking trails. Dining hall needs a refresh, please tear out the carpet in the restaurant. Staff is friendly.
