Wits End Lodge, Unique Log Home
Great place for a larger group! Great location for skiing and going to downtown Steamboat.

Private Hot tub, Free Shuttle, Perfect Getaway
The beds were wonderful, so comfortable! It was very clean too! We were on Spring break to ski with several teenagers, and the purple line shuttle practically stops in the driveway. It was incredibly convenient and easy to get to the slopes. The line is a short 10 min loop, so you don’t stop a million places or wait long for the next shuttle!

Amazing Deck with Views - Steam Shower
We had a great family trip staying here. Hosts were very responsive and allowed for an early check in. Highlights included the open living room, steam shower and beautiful views. Only a 4 min drive to the base and very centrally located to everything. Would highly recommend

Sunlight Mt. Lodge, single family home, hot tub!
Fantastic stay at Sunlight Mountain Lodge. Clean, spacious, luxurious. Beautiful view of the mountains. The hosts worked with us for an early check-in. They gave us information about the area and even about a local festival that was going on with fireworks viewable from the patio. Well stocked kitchen with all the essential cookware, plates, utensils. Would stay again if ever in the area. FYI for any future guests, the house is best accessed by car, and there is a 2-car garage. Easy 5 minute drive to town and 10-15 minutes to the ski resort where parking was never an issue. The streets in the neighborhood are well maintained with regard to snow, but there can be some accumulation, and the house is on a hill. We were able to make do through a couple of days of moderate snowfall with a FWD van. Heavy snowfall would have necessitated AWD to get in and out by my judgment.

Private Ranch House In Steamboat Springs
Look no further, this place is the perfect mountain retreat. We booked with a group of friends, we ended up canceling our dinner reservations because the house was so cozy! Some of the people in our group do not ski, so they took advantage of snowshoeing, cross country skiing, and sledding on the property.

Large Mountain Home - 5 bd/4 bath

Downtown Steamboat Sojourn - 5 Stars
We really enjoyed this home….it looked even better than the photos! Loved watching the snowfalls from the big windows. There was plenty of natural light, lots of space, and comfortable beds. Loved that it was just a short walk into town with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. Kaela was very helpful with recommendations and made sure to let us know she was available and responsive if we needed anything (which we didn’t, everything about our stay went smoothly.) We hope to return again some day!

Lavender house Victorian
Amazing location to all things in Old Town Steamboat. Had a great week walking out the front door to shops & restaurants, along the river, and across to Howelsen for tubing and the ice rink. We easily drove down the street to ski but there is a bus stop a block away right across from the hot springs! Parked my van in the off-street parking around back, but mind the overhead clearance if you have an especially tall vehicle. I think we had 2 spots and the other spots were for the adjacent rental (same host) accessed from the alley. 3 upstairs rooms: 2 nice king bed rooms and another room with 2 twins. Great for visit with kids or another couple. Nice bathroom upstairs but tub is a better tub than a shower. Lower level stall shower is not for people of any type of dimensional exceptionalism. Kitchen is up to date, clean and spacious. Host was responsive across the stay, but I didn’t have much to ask besides hello, goodbye, and thanks! Great spot!

The Spruce Nest
The Spruce Nest is a gem! From the moment we opened the door to a cozy fire to then locking it up until the next time, we cannot say enough about the place, the amenities, the beds, the beer on tap and frosted mugs in the freezer in concert with Tom's attention to every detail from reservation to the date of this review. I apparently left a book and Tom contacted me and is mailing it back to me. Talk about a fantastic host! We yet to stay in a place where our dogs were as welcomed and their needs so attentively considered. The location is amazing and there is a dog park near by that is not to be missed. There is another residence attached that we had the fortune of viewing and it looks just as incredible. We can't wait to come back! Enjoy this little Steamboat nugget!

Alpine House #2 - Nordic Sauna - 3 Bedrooms 6 Beds
Gorgeous chalet, great location, amazing views from any room Chris was great all the time, very responsive with any questions we had. We would love to stay again

Dog Friendly-Updated-Old Town Charmer
Yves and Megan were wonderful hosts, welcoming and going the extra mile when it came to my grocery delivery mix up to make sure I had what I needed given my late arrival. The house is a home which is apparent from the thoughtful touches throughout, fun family photos, heirloom linens, and fully stocked kitchen. The location is exceptional as it is one of the few available rentals in old town, walkable to shops and restaurants downtown and immediately accessible to the local trail system. The neighbors are friendly and most had dogs which our lab Scout thoroughly enjoyed on her daily walks on Butcher Knife and Spring Creek trails.

Bohemian Rhapsody
Charlie and Cassie’s place was perfect for our grandparents/young family gathering. Located in historic Old Town, it’s an easy and fun walk to the Main Street (Lincoln) with restaurants, shops, and the town’s ski hill while just a couple blocks from a large park with trails, creek and off leash area. Cassie and Charlie have completely remodeled the home and it has lovely original features (exposed brick, some original floors and windows) with new living room, huge kitchen/dining area, three bathrooms, and a lovely garden room. Everything was spotless and the kitchen well stocked; baby gear including a high chair and port-a-crib were much appreciated. Cassie & Charlie’s place was perfect for all of us (including the family pup) and we hope to return.

L1915 | Nice Home | Dog Friendly | Private Hot Tub
We loved our stay! It was cozy, we felt right at home, and it had everything we needed for a Steamboat weekend! Loved the location & the garage parking. Not worth removing a star, but I will say the downstairs guest bed was a little squeaky & uncomfortable and I didn’t sleep great. But everything else about the place was awesome!

Your guide to Steamboat Springs
Welcome to Steamboat Springs
The picturesque Yampa River winds through Steamboat Springs, which earned its name from the surging sound made by natural hot springs roiling just under the surface. Hot springs are a big draw to this little mountain town, but a secondary one to skiing. Known as Ski Town USA, Steamboat Springs has produced more Olympians than any city in the country, while the pros and civilians alike come here for the incredible skiing on champagne-powder snow at the area’s marquee resort. In the winter Steamboat Springs teems with visitors swooshing, snow-shoeing, and fat tire biking across soft, plentiful snow. In the summer the river takes center stage for tubing, rafting, and kayaking expeditions. After a day on the slopes or riding the Yampa current, you can wander the charming downtown, dotted with historic buildings, a bustling arts and craft scene, and local breweries and small-batch distillers.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Steamboat Springs
Winter is high season for booking one of the vacation rentals in Steamboat Springs, when the landscape is blanketed in powdery snow, and visitors flock to the mountains and restorative hot springs. For more than 100 years, the town has celebrated Winter Carnival every February with snow sculpting, sporting events, and fireworks. In spring the snowpacks thaw and fill the river and the weather remains brisk, making it an ideal time to partake of scenic drives. Thanks to the mountain climate, summers in Steamboat Springs tend to be cooler — and they also bring occasional thunderstorms. In June the town celebrates water sports with the Yampa River Festival, and in July the Hot Air Balloon Rodeo sees colorful vessels aloft over the town. In fall the migratory sandhill cranes make stops in the Yampa Valley, which is alight with spectacular fall foliage. The weather can change quickly here no matter what time of year, so always pack for wet weather.
Top things to do in Steamboat Springs
Old Town Hot Springs
Located right in town, this facility features eight pools fed without pumps by naturally heated water that courses at about 220 gallons per minute out of the ground. The main hot pool features water fountains, two bridges, and a climbing wall. A smaller hot spring boasts another unique feature: a circuitous water slide.
Tread of Pioneers Museum
Housed in a circa-1901 Queen Anne-style Victorian home, this museum chronicling the history of Steamboat Springs and the Yampa Valley includes displays devoted to Indigenous culture, recreations of settler homesteads — including a Victorian kitchen, dining room, and parlor — and exhibits devoted to the town’s Olympic milestones.
Fish Creek Falls
Fewer than five miles outside of town you’ll find a spectacular 280-foot waterfall that plunges into Fish Creek Canyon. There’s an easy quarter-mile hike to get there, and you can choose your vantage point — there’s an overlook above the falls, as well as a bridge at the base of the falls.
