Where to Stay in Steamboat Springs
There are enough hotels and condominiums available for rent in
Steamboat Springs, Colorado, that one week in each and you\'d be
there for the better part of two years. From the downtown area
to the base of the mountains you\'ll find a dazzling array of
hotels in Steamboat Springs -- from modestly priced motel rooms
to the most luxurious ski lodges you could possibly imagine. And
as is the case these days in any desirable resort area, there
are condos available everywhere. For such a small town it\'s hard
to believe that there are over 5,000 rooms available for rent.
The price range is impressive as well. Probably the cheapest
room you could get during the winter skiing season in Steamboat
Springs will cost you about $150 per night. And should you hit
the lottery and end up in one of the luxurious Steamboat Springs
hotels to celebrate, you might end up paying as much as $700 per
night for the privilege.
There are motels with coffee shops where you can get some donuts
and coffee before hitting the slopes all the way up to the
luxury hotels some of which offer a sumptuous buffet with
everything imaginable waiting for you to help start your day. It
all depends on your pocket book and what it is that you wish to
experience while you are visiting Steamboat Springs.
There aren\'t a lot of choices when it comes to Steamboat Springs
bed & breakfast style lodging. There are eight establishments
around town that fall into this category and they range in price
from about $100 to $300 per night. The most famous one is called
Moving Mountains, a lodge that recreates the look and feel of a
traditional European mountain chalet. Located on Steamboat
Mountain about a mile and a half from the base and close to the
Thunderbird high-speed quad lifts, you will see remarkable views
of the surrounding environment from both inside your room and
from the outdoor hot tub. Eat there and you\'ll be served by a
four star gourmet chef who will create dishes usually reserved
for four star European restaurants. Hire one of their limousines
to drive you around the area and you\'ll feel like a king
surveying his mountain kingdom. Unbeatable luxury for a fraction
of the price it would cost you anywhere outside of Steamboat
Springs.
Fun Things to Do on Your Vacation!
That\'s the intent of this article, to wake up some ideas in your head, and plan for things to do in Florida and any of your travels.
When we venture down to Florida or anywhere for that fact of the matter, we first figure out what activities we definitely don\'t want to miss. Here is our list of favorite things to do on vacation
1. Sit on the beach and play in the ocean. This is a no brainer. We love to walk the beach, bathe in the sun, play in the waves, and watch the beautiful people.
What types of things do you do on your vacation? What activities do you have planned? Do you relax, go active, or a little of both?
2. Play golf. Golf is a great game. There are excellent golf courses all over the world to choose from and you can even plan an entire golf vacation.
3. Go fishing. Deep sea fishing or fishing from a pier is a blast. If you have never done this try it once, you\'ll love it.
4. Other sporting activities like scuba, snorkeling, water skiing, parasailing, renting jet skis, or whatever. There are a ton of water activities to choose from.
5. Day trips and tours are awesome choices. Rent a boat for the day. Take a barefoot cruise. Venture over to Orlando and go to Disney World or any theme park. Dinner cruises, exploring, hiking, tours at local sites, and anything else that you can think of.
6. Go shopping! Yes, the ladies will love this one and probably already have it planned. I hate to shop, but it is actually fun when I am on vacation. It wears me out though. Take some extra money and visit the local shops, find souvenirs, and spend some of that hard-earned money.
7. Drive around. We have rented convertibles or motorcycles for a couple of days and just explored the area. One time, we went from Miami to Key West and spent the day there. Another time, we traveled up the A1A highway along the Atlantic Coast of Florida, enjoying the luxurious homes, yachts, and views. You can even do this as a weekend getaway. Find a cool spot that\'s only 6 hours or less away and take off. We always have fun doing this.
8. Take in local entertainment, events, restaurants, and such. Go dancing, find the best watering holes, do something romantic, party likes its 1999. Remember, you are on vacation and it\'s time to have some fun and do stuff you don\'t usually get to do at home.
The list is as endless as your imagination. These are just a few general ideas that we always plan on doing. Be creative and try new things.
Enjoy your trip, have a good time, and tell us your stories!!!
