Great Stay
I had a lovely visit to the Chipeta Lodge and would certainly stay there again. They are in a great location near a large park with a beautiful view. The staff was friendly, the accommodations were clean and unique, the complimentary breakfast was delicious, and my room had it's own hot tub.

Loved our stay!!
we had the BEST time at Chipeta - the breakfasts were amazing (Amy was especially awesome, she was so kind + gave great recommendations and even went out of her way to help us with some info), our room was beautiful and perfect for our two dogs to join us in, and the area is gorgeous - and close proximity to the hot springs was a huge plus. this is our favorite place we have stayed in CO for certain and we will definitely be back soon!

Great stay and staff!
We had an excellent stay! Upon check-in at reception we were greeted warmly with fresh cookies. We were chatting with her while getting checked in and she was telling us it had been a slow week and she upgraded us to a suite for free! The rooms all appear to have hot tubs on the outdoor balconies, which was a nice touch. The rooms are nicely appointed with really comfy beds. The fireplace in our room added to the cozy feel.
Breakfast at the onsite restaurant was included and you could pick any item from their menu, which was much nicer than some places that have just a continental breakfast bar. We would definitely stay again and recommend to others

Favorite place to stay for a romantic weekend away
We stayed here for my husband's 50th. Thus was the 3rd or 4th time weve stayed so i requested a specific room if it was available and they were happy to accommodate my requested. We love the fact that you can have a private hot tub with amazing views. The included breakfast was delicious. We ate dinner here one night and it was also very good. Can't wait until next year to plan our next trip.
