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.

Boulder Mountain Guest Ranch is an absolutely beautiful getaway! Remote, quiet, a beautiful natural setting, and the lodge itself is stunning. The staff was friendly, helpful and welcoming. Our room was tiny but cozy and quiet. Our personal bathroom was roomy and clean. The lounge area was clean, quiet and cozy with self-serve coffee and tea available, as well as a beautiful fireplace and board games. We were given bagged continental breakfasts that consisted of apples, hard boiled eggs, muffins and granola bars. Since we had a long drive ahead of us, we appreciated the convenient travel food. We would definitely stay at this lodge again!

Given the e. Coli situation the notice to guests was lame. Concierge should advise people at check in and the 12 pt font letter in the bathroom is very tiny. Otherwise everything great.

Water warning ecoli etc, so you are limited to water from dispenser, in lounge area. In the morning, that water was nearly empty. Apparently their water source has failed two inspections since September, so check before you go. Breakfast is a very unappetizing little grab and go back left for you in room mini frig. Coffee pot in lounge area is set up be whoever wakes up first, and disagreements over how to prepare occur. Apparently no management on site in the morning. There was an organized group of youth staying or camping there, and THEY got what smelled like a delicious buffet breakfast. That was pretty frustrating to us. Finally our room was tiny, and stuffy. Window could not be opened. Fan was super noisy. We did however enjoy dinner in restaurant that evening. Staff that we met in the evening was very pleasant , but no one around in the morning, at least not for regular guests.

Location was scenic. Nice open area where you could sit and view the surrounding property. Room was clean and roomy enough. Bed was comfortable, water pressure and temp good. Continental breakfast and coffee area was solid. Only issue was the room was right next to the dining area and you could easily hear whoever was out there. There were no customers after about 9pm so not a big deal.

Average stay
We did not get the room I reserved. The air conditioning was in an awkward spot so it blew right over our faces and also didn’t work if we drew the curtains, meaning we had to choose between privacy and comfort. There was also a bright blue light in our room that was impossible to turn off. The shower was very small and there was some mold on the curtain. Overall, there seemed to be a lack of attention to detail when it came to guest comfort. Pros: The location was beautiful and there were several adorable cats around the property. The attached restaurant was quite good. For its value and location it was satisfactory but I probably won’t stay there again.

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.

Hotel restaurant was closed. Front desk person said they had planned on notifying all guests before arrival but didn't do so. Sign posted in room notifying that E-coli was contaminated water source and to not drink. We drove into town to get something to eat and tried to phone to cancel our stay. Phone service indicated 'service not available. We found accommodations at another hotel.

The accommodations were cozy, but the restaurant was closed, and there was no lodge employees around the next morning. The ‘included’ continental breakfast was a hard boiled egg…
