We got a 3-bedroom yet one of the bedrooms was unsafe, located down a dangerous flight of stairs and entirely underground (like a bedroom built into the cellar from 100 years ago). Our 5-year old and 2-year old kids could not stay in the bedroom so we paid a high price for a 3-bedroom unit and squeezed into 2-bedrooms. In all practicality, it was a 2-bedroom unit with no disclosures about this upon checkout. I get the cottages are cute, but you should have to disclose material issues like this before you charge for a 3-bedroom.

My recent conference stay at the Colorado Chautauqua was truly exceptional, easily earning a 10/10 rating. This venue is an ideal combination of professional excellence and natural retreat. The historic setting, nestled directly beneath the Flatirons, is simply breathtaking. My cottage was peaceful and well-kept, offering a welcome change from a standard hotel. The conference spaces, like the Grand Assembly Hall, were beautiful and fully equipped. What sets this venue apart is the location. We could step right out of a meeting and onto a stunning hiking trail in minutes, which genuinely fostered connection and creativity among attendees. Excellent food from the Chautauqua Dining Hall was the final touch on a flawless experience. If you are looking for an inspiring and restorative place to host your next corporate event, I highly recommend the Colorado Chautauqua!

Need a place to unplug? Look no further. The Chautauqua Cottages are within steps to a multitude of hiking trails- all with breathtaking views of the Flatirons ranging from easy strolls to challenging climbs that will have you thinking, "OMG, what have a I done!" The food in the dining hall was delicious and fairly priced. Ice-cream cones from the General Store after a day of trekking was a treat. Can't wait to visit again!

Really enjoyed my stay here! I would definitely choose this over a hotel any day. Minor negatives were that, parking can be busy and the dining hall was only ok.

Absolutely wonderful property! We organized our class reunion here at Colorado Chautauqua and it was such a memorable experience. We had a group of 19 coming for 3 nights and 4 days and the planning process began months before we arrived — Shayna took care of our needs every step of the way. She was prompt, responsive and very helpful when it came to answering all of my questions so that by the time us and all of our guests arrived, we knew what to expect and everything fell into place. This was the perfect retreat for a reunion — it was close to Downtown, Boulder and Pearl Street for food/drinks, just steps away from amazing trails (we did the Bluebell & Baird hike), and the cottages themselves were well-maintained and exactly what we were looking for — private space for our guests to retreat to, but also had a nice indoor and outdoor space to gather at the 3-bed cottage. I also used their 24-hour self-operated laundry room which was a nice amenity. All in all, we are extremely satisfied with our stay and would definitely come back again. Thank you, Shayna and the rest of the Colorado Chautauqua staff for a wonderful stay!

Our family of four (two daughters ages 8 and 6) stayed three nights here, and we had an outstanding experience. The location is fantastic, with beautiful views of the Flatirons right from our cottage. The cottage itself was comfortable and just the right size for our family, and we loved that there was no TV in the cottage (plenty of better ways we wanted to spend our time there). The Chautauqua community is a real plus. Our kids loved the park and playground, and the overall atmosphere is very relaxed. Really nice place to wander around. The staff was also excellent. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and helpful, making our stay even smoother. Kelsey at the front desk was particularly helpful, and they all went above and beyond by leaving a birthday card/package for our daughter upon our arrival (we were visiting to celebrate her birthday). Overall, we had a wonderful time. The Chautauqua Cottages were the perfect fit for our family, and we look forward to returning in the future!

Beautiful location and room. I stayed in winter and the room was a bit drafty and cold. They do provide an additional space heater though which is nice. One negative was the bedding which was odd. Just a flat sheet, down duvet insert and then another flat sheet. I did not like that I kept accidentally touching the duvet insert. It doesn't seem sanitary to not have it fully enclosed in a duvet cover. Also the bathroom could have been a bit cleaner. Also, the wifi was slow at times.

From handling some booking issues in the beginning, to the arrival and stay, the Colorado Chautauqua is nothing short of amazing! The staff were all incredibly helpful and kind, the cottage itself was very clean, quaint, and exactly what we were looking for to keep us close to the action but also feeling steeped in nature’s quiet bliss. I can’t recommend a stay at the Colorado Chautauqua enough!
