Good to know

✨ In the Italian Alps, a rifugio is a mountain refuge — a place where hikers come in from the wilderness to find warmth, good rest, and the comfort they've earned after a long day in nature. That's exactly what we built here: a proper apartment with its own private entrance, and everything you need to recharge. 🧖 Your private infrared sauna is the centerpiece of recovery. Soothe tired muscles after hiking, skiing, or mountain biking — your own personal spa, available anytime. 🛏️ Two bedrooms designed for real rest — a king and a queen, both with plant-based hypoallergenic memory foam mattresses, 55" 4K TVs, and all major streaming services. 🛋️ A warm living room with a 65" 4K entertainment center and all major streaming — your home base after big days outside. 🍳 A well-stocked kitchen with everything you need to fuel your adventures. 🧺 In-unit washer/dryer with eco-friendly detergents — perfect for refreshing gear after trail days. 🌡️ Individual mini-split climate control in every room and heated bathroom floors for warm mornings. 🌐 Gigabit WiFi for planning tomorrow's route or staying connected. 📍 Trail access begins steps from your door. Boulder is 10 minutes away, Denver 20, and Rocky Mountain National Park just 50. Target, Starbucks, and Barnes & Noble are all within walking distance.

May 2026

Absolutely loved this place! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The property was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The space was spacious and well-organized, with thoughtful touches throughout that made a real difference. The location was perfect - convenient to everything we wanted to do, yet quiet and peaceful at night. Check-in was seamless and the host was incredibly responsive and welcoming. Any question we had was answered quickly. The kitchen was well-stocked, the beds were comfortable, and the whole place had a warm, cozy feel. You can tell the owner genuinely cares about guests having a great experience. Honestly couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a stress-free, enjoyable stay. 10/10!
