All the holidays are the best days to celebrate with a vacation in Steamboat Springs, but since Veterans Day is right around the corner, today we want to take a few minutes out of our day to talk about our Grand Adventure Company Veterans Day rentals. Luxurious, comfortable and designed to spoil travelers, whether they are veterans or civilians, we think that our homes will be an amazing part of your Colorado holiday vacation, and if you do happen to have a veteran in your family (or you are the veteran), we thank you for your service. This guide to all the ways our homes can make your Colorado Veterans Day getaway one that you will never forget will encourage you to go with the idea and book your vacation today!

The Excitement Is Building
As Veterans Day grows closer, you will notice a hum in the area, a noticeable excitement as we are getting that much closer to the open of Steamboat Ski Resort. Generally opening over Thanksgiving weekend, you won’t be able to ski as of yet, but you are sure to be able to enjoy the beauty of freshly fallen snow on the fall landscape. Our homes spring from the landscape as if planted there, and although they may blend in with the trees and mountains a little more in the warmer months, when the snow falls, they stand out like the superstars they are. Built of wood and glass and generally painted or stained in dark colors, the excitement you feel will build even more when you are standing at the door, feeling crisp mountain breezes push against your back as if encouraging you to move faster. Step inside and feel the warmth embrace you and welcome you, inviting you to hang up your coat, kick off your shoes, and explore what all awaits.
Living Rooms to Be Lived In
Whether the veteran in your life prefers a leather recliner to sit back with a cold one and remote in hand or prefers the cozy comforts of a plush sectional, enjoyed with a glass of wine, a good book, and a roaring fire, you will find it in our living rooms. Designed to be lived in (hence their names), these spaces may feature bookshelves lined with books, movies, and board games, state of the art televisions, and floor-to-ceiling windows that let in the light and the views, while keeping out the cold and the snow.
Family First
On Veterans Day many of our local restaurants will be offering free or discounted meals as a thank you for your service, so you may not be dining “at home” on November 11, but chances are you will be here for more than a day and our kitchens and dining rooms may be tempting you to stay in for a night, creating a family meal in the fully equipped chef’s kitchens and gathering around the dining room table to devour your work. The veteran in your life may have had plenty of reasons for deciding to sign up to serve our country, but we are betting that the first thing on their list is protecting family. Family matters, and even if you don’t cook or eat at home during your stay, our dining rooms will be where many wonderful moments that turn to cherished memories with your favorite traveling companions. Remember the board games you spotted on the shelves in the living room? They are placed there to be used and as you unplug from television and video games you can teach your kiddos a valuable lesson about putting family first.
Rack ‘em Up!
Your soldier has probably spent many an evening hanging out at the pool hall on the base, bonding with his or her fellow soldiers, and many of our holiday rentals in Steamboat Springs may offer their own pool tables, allowing your veteran to show off how all those hours weren’t wasted. And some of our larger luxury homes may also provide fully equipped game rooms that offer gaming tables of all sorts, arcade games, even video game consoles, another hobby for your veteran, one that may have helped keep boredom away when protecting our country far, far from home. Game rooms, game tables, or video game consoles are just more ways we offer our thanks to your brave soldier.
Too Cold to Be Outside?
The back decks of our holiday havens are popular no matter how low the temperatures may be and we suspect their popularity is due to the hot tubs you will often find sitting out under the stars. Let the temperatures fall as low as they want, you will be warm and cozy while submerged in bubbling waters, and even the parts that aren’t under water (your nose, face, and maybe neck) will stay warm from the steam of the hot water. Firepits or outdoor fireplaces may offer more ways to stay warm and who knows? Feeling comfortable in the night with the flames flickering and sparks wafting upwards, your veteran may feel relaxed enough to regale you with some of her most hilarious stories of her days in the service.
Sleep Comes Easy
Sleep is often the one activity we as adults, veterans or otherwise, may not be easy to do, but our tranquil bedrooms, some offering their own fireplaces, are veteran tested, adult approved! Premium beds, state of the art televisions, and en suite baths in the primary bedrooms, all work together to ensure that your sleep comes easy and your dreams are sweet ones. Some bedrooms may offer separate sitting areas, ideal for enjoying morning cups of coffee and evening glasses of wine, other bedrooms may be filled with bunk beds that your children will fight over who gets the top bunk (we can’t help you there) and all will offer the perfect ending to another beautiful day in paradise.
At Grand Adventure Company, we believe those who serve deserve more than just thanks—they deserve a vacation to remember.
That’s why we’re proud to always offer an exclusive discount to active duty and retired military personnel as a token of our appreciation. Whether you’re seeking rest, adventure, or quality time with loved ones, our Colorado Veterans Day rentals provide the perfect setting for your well-earned escape. Reserve your stay today and let us help make this Veterans Day unforgettable.
