Top choice in Boulder
Adjoining beautiful hiking trails to the Flatirons and in a leafy neighborhood inside Chautauqua Park, this is our top Boulder pick. It has contemporary rooms and one- to three-bedroom cottages with porches and patchwork-quilt beds. It's perfect for families and pets. All have full kitchens, though the wraparound porch of the Chautauqua Dining Hall is a local favorite for breakfast.
Two- to four-night minimum stay during summer. Discounted rates available in winter.
