You might think that winter would be our favorite season here in Steamboat Springs, but we don’t think it would be too much of a betrayal to tell you that for many of us at Grand Adventure Company, it is the fall months that make our hearts beat faster. Offering crisp and clear air that just feels good to breathe in, colorful trees in the early part of the season, and yes, in the later part, winter arrives, the slopes open, and even more adventures can be experienced, and this twofer may be why we love the season so much.
And if your journey brings you to our mountain town in the fall, you too will lose your heart to Steamboat Springs, especially when you choose out seasonal sanctuaries for your cozy autumn accommodations; this guide will show you all the ways our Steamboat Springs Cabin Rentals will enhance your vacation escape to the mountains of Colorado!

The Crunch of Fall Leaves Under Your Footsteps
When you really think about it, there isn’t anything about Fall that isn’t wonderful, from the crunch of leaves under your feet as you walk up to the front door of your seasonal sanctuary, to the smell of chimney smoke wafting through air that has more than a nip to it, but not as much of a bite as winter’s air. Temperatures this time of year rise to the mid-40s to mid-70s (highs) and fall as far as the teens, so pack your sweaters, boots, and those corduroy jeans that are back in style to stay warm outside.
Inside, however, electric heat will ensure that you are never chilly, and multiple fireplaces, some in the living rooms, some in the primary suites, will ensure that romance sparks bright during your stay. Additionally, colorful throws may be tossed across the backs of sofas and chairs, inviting guests to snuggle beneath as the temperatures drop and the moon rises.
Fall Fun in Every Room
Finding fun in warm environs as the temperatures drop to frosty lows outside is something easy to do in our Steamboat Springs retreats, and as you make your way to the living room, we will begin our first exploration of fun amenities. State of the art televisions, many mounted above the mantel of the stone fireplace which is the secondary focal point of the room (generously sized windows that let in the views while keeping out the weather are the true focal point of these spaces!).
Even though we normally suggest hot cocoa or a glass of wine to sip as you watch television late into the night, the season makes us want to suggest a mulled wine for your evening beverage. Start a fire, grab a throw, and sip away as the sun sinks into the horizon. Our fully equipped kitchens are where this tour will take you next.
Your Favorite Fall Foods
Whether you are visiting for the Thanksgiving holiday and are preparing to make full use of our gourmet kitchens, or the thought of cooking while on vacation has you looking at the person who suggested it with genuine horror in your eyes, our kitchens will always be the heart of the home. Keep a pot of mulled wine simmering on the high-end range to ensure the house smells like fall and maybe, if you have some spare time and feel like it, bake a batch or two of cookies or brownies to snack on during your stay.
All the appliances in our fully equipped kitchens are high-end models, from the coffee maker (or Keurig) on the counter to the wine refrigerator under the counter and everything in between. Large breakfast bars or center islands will make the perfect spots to sit with a cup of coffee in the mornings and a glass of wine at night. These spaces offer all the warmth and beauty that all kitchens should provide, making guests feel right at home.
Time to Dine
Why is it that when the temperatures drop, our appetites seem to soar? Part of the reason, especially during your Fall getaway to Steamboat Springs, will be the adventures you enjoy while exploring all that our town has to offer, including hiking, biking, and sometime around Thanksgiving, skiing down the slopes of Mount Werner. Whatever the reason, however, when it is time to dine, the tables of our dining rooms will be waiting to serve.
Surrounded by chairs that are comfortable enough to encourage you to enjoy second helpings and the dessert that follows (those cookies were your best yet!) Often placed in alcoves surrounded by windows that let in all the views, and as you play games, sip more mulled wine, and converse late into the night, you will find yourself wishing you could just stay awake all night and never let these moments end.
Warm and Wonderful
Fall in real life is hectic and crazy, especially as school starts back up and the holidays start to make their presence known, so this break from reality needs to be extra relaxing, shoring up your reserves so that you can face all that awaits you. And because spoiling our guests is what we do best, you are about to discover how good we are at our jobs. Hot tubs rest on expansive decks that overlook the countryside, providing soothing relief to muscles that haven’t been skiing since last year’s season ended in the spring.
Traditional Swedish saunas may be found in some of our retreats, offering another way to relax and reduce stress while also improving circulation and potentially offering support to your immune system. These amenities aren’t specifically related to the season we are celebrating, but we’re pretty sure that you won’t want to complain that they are offered!
Sleep Well
The luxury of a good night’s sleep is another amenity Grand Adventure Company is proud to provide for our guests, and tranquil bedrooms, premium beds, and the highest quality linens are where it all begins. These rooms may also offer fireplaces with two comfy chairs flanking each side, encouraging lingering over coffee in the mornings and perhaps sharing conversation and glasses of wine as you wind down after a long day of Steamboat Springs fun.
Some may offer private balconies, and ensuite baths will be where more luxuries will be waiting to be explored. Steam showers that are large enough for small families to shower together, deep tubs that may be jetted or not, in which you may soak, sip, read, and savor the final moments of the day. Sleep comes easily in these peaceful spaces, and when you wake up each morning feeling rested and ready for a new day in paradise, eager to begin all the new adventures that await you.
