Great location, rustic and had charm . The 3 bedroom cabin only has 1 bathroom on the first floor and it was hard to get that info beforehand in detail. Not convenient for a group considering the 2 bedroom next door has 2 bathrooms. Rooms comfy enough but not fancy . The floors were awful , full of dog hair, clumps of human hair, gross. Secondly had to wash every dish we used. Not cleaned properly.

The staff member at check in was extremely kind and welcoming. When we asked about what to do for dinner (which is limited in the area) because the restaurant on site was closed, she graciously called and made a reservation 10 minutes down the road at Hell’s Backbone Grill. The experience overall was great.

Incredibly beautiful & remote cabin w/ great staff

This place is amazing it’s our second year in a row staying here and the staff is as friendly and helpful as ever and since they were having some issues they gave us a free upgrade. The scenery, the remoteness, the beauty, the whole package is just so incredible and worth it. We will be back again! And we’re telling our friends about this place.

The Boulder Mountain. Lodge has so many options for guests. This is my third stay. I stayed first in a cozy yurt with a shared bathroom and shower facility, then in a comfortable lodge room and this time is a deluxe cabin with 2 bedrooms for my girlfriend and me. It was below freezing during our 2 night stay but the cabin had wonderful heaters and we were never cold!

A Unique Stay Under the Stars—with a Few Bumps

We had a mostly enjoyable stay at this property. The main guest house was a lovely place to unwind, and the complimentary breakfast was a pleasant and unexpected bonus. The staff was friendly and made a genuine effort to assist us throughout our stay. The yurt itself was a unique experience—just as pictured, with a cozy interior and a peaceful setting. One of the highlights was definitely stargazing at night, which was beautiful. That said, there were a few hiccups. When we arrived at check-in time, the yurt wasn’t quite ready, which caused a bit of a delay. We also had trouble connecting to the Wi-Fi inside the yurt, even though it was advertised as being available. The staff did try to help, but unfortunately, we were never able to get it working. The bathroom setup was clean and included a shower, which we appreciated, but there were no instructions for using the hot water heater, which made it a little confusing to get started. Overall, it was a memorable experience with some room for improvement.

We liked a lot about the property and the room, but there were two concerns. First, the bed was cratered. You couldn’t help but roll into the middle. Made it very cramped and not a good night’s sleep. Second, the breakfast snack left for us in the fridge seemed very old. The hard boiled eggs smelled awful as soon as the fridge door was cracked.

When we arrived there was no one in the office. We called out and rang the bell but no one came. I tried to call the hotel number but there was no service. Luckily a man stopped by who helped the owners out sometimes. He finally got in touch with someone who told him how for us to unlock our room. They told him that we should have received an email with instructions but we did not.

Choose a Yert at this place.

We stayed in 3rd floor rm...no elevator which we only want for suitcases. Bathroom off vestibule...not in room. They had no towels until asked for. No directions where to get cont'l. breakfast. No directions on how to use heater...it had remote but nothing worked. Odor as if they were using electronic air purifying...which bothered our senses. Receptionist friendly but lack of directions on room use was not good. Water dribbled from sink faucet. Water closet seat loose. Heater was beautiful contemporary fireplace like look but wouldn't shut off and lit the whole room. Couldn't sleep until unplugged...plus problems noted above.
