My wife absolutely loved the bathroom and tub. The room was huge and the balcony view is breathtaking. Everything was very clean too. The breakfast is a top notch, hearty meal that cut no corners.

It is clear that the innkeepers at Sonnenhof Lakewood Manor B&B know how to create a comfy and welcoming environment in addition to delicious breakfast and local knowledge. You can tell this is a labor of love for these two good folks and they love it. So if you are looking for a place to rest, relax and reset, check in to the Sonnenhoff Lakewood Manor B&B.

The lamp and clock on the chipped and stained nightstand were completely crooked which was odd. We thought for a moment that we walked into the wrong room. This $300 stay was in a room that can be seen at a $120 La Quinta Inn. I travel for a living and am in roughly 30+ hotels a year. I was thankful though that the bed and pillows were comfortable enough to sleep well in. The towels are rough and cheap or old maybe? The bathroom counter needed repair. Just overall not good. Upon first arrival to the inn we walked in to be greeted by one in tact and one half eaten small muffin on the food bar which I guess was the snack offering as it was on a little service dish not an individuals plate. Super uninviting. The parking was great though and appreciated. We did enjoy the Great Room a little while during our stay which was cozy. When we got back from our dinner on Friday evening just before 9pm we wanted a cup of hot tea for bed and there was no longer any hot water on the beverage bar. What a disappointment. I will also say the tea choices were worse than that at a Hampton Inn. Very basic and not even close to even what a mid level hotel offers. The breakfast was nice. Quiche looked amazing but by the time we came down to eat at 9:45 which I understand is 15 minutes before it ended - the warmer was off and the quiche was cold. We did grab a muffin which tasted like it was from Safeway or Costco but it helped as we were hungry. Instead we had to eat a light bite across the street at the cafe. Another disappointment. Overall what could and should have been a really special experience felt like a run down room with a mediocre breakfast experience. I came with my adult daughter to celebrate her 26th birthday and I have to be honest and say that I felt terrible that I chose this inn. We made the best of it and really enjoyed our time together just the same because after all that is what mattered most.

C'mon, folks. The pros: The staff are nice (and who really cares if a staff member is a little high, this is Colorado, per the other review--Bradley is a super nice guy and I never saw him stoned during my nearly one week stay) The breakfast is lovely--fresh fruit, oatmeal, yogurt, baked goods, and quiche--along with coffee, tea, etc. If it's your thing, you can have drinks around 5pm with some snacks Prime location in downtown Boulder with parking Lovely great room and office area The cons: Yes, the rooms are somewhat dated--I stayed in two different rooms, and one had some really worn carpet--but they're clean You can experience a decent amouont of road noise on the first floor, and I didn't have luck getting help with my suitcase up to the second floor (and I had a sprained shoulder, but it was manageable) They have wifi and now cable (along with DVD players, though I had to have them replace the DVD player) but no smart TVs if you are obsessed with that Overall, I'd stay here again...and I'm PICKY.

They're very interesting, and it's a great story to hear how they went from working the corporate life to moving out to the mountains to get away from everything. The grounds look amazing and I can't wait to see everything decorated for the wedding. They charge SO much less than other places in the area, they said they do it because they want to help people without a lot of money, but the place certainly doesn't have a cheap feel to it. It's a great location, and a decent rate for a night's stay, and an amazing deal for a wedding venue. Two thumbs up!

They allowed our dogs at no charge and even pet sat them while we went into town. Mary and Randy hang out in the kitchen/living room in the morning and chat as you eat breakfast. There's a fenced yard for our dogs to run around and a little pond to play in. I think they even have a place if you want to bring your horse. The location is nice because it's about 1/2 way between Lyons and Estes Park so you can go into either place. There's a restaurant across the road and hiking nearby. The room was really comfortable. We stayed in the Tranquility room and the bed was amazing. Mary and Randy are just wonderful nice people who run a great, fair business. We'll definitely stay again.

We had looked for a hotel in the area but none had great reviews, so we hunted for a BnB. Luckily we found Aspen Hollow, such a nice place to stay. We arrived and were greeted by Marilyn, shown a great and comfortable room, and were treated to a couple glasses of wine before we turned in. This place has a lot to offer, there is a recreational space with hot tub, sauna and big screen tv with tons of movies, as well as a separate great room for peaceful relaxation as it overlooks the valley of Granby and has a huge fireplace that must be amazing in the winter. We got up in the morning to coffee waiting for us, and a delicious breakfast, fresh fruit, powdered sugar french toast and sausage. I am so glad we stayed here. I was hesitant at first because there wasn't a lot of info about this place but it turned out to be a great decision. We will be going back for sure. A couple of things I will say that were unique about this place that really struck me as fantastic and unusual. First, the quality of the building is pretty high, the floors are tile and heated, so in the great room on the mail floor your feet are warmly greeted in the morning for breakfast. Another thing I noticed is there are a lot of quality in the details. The bed was extremely comfortable, the linens were top notch. Many times when staying in places such as these, and others like vbro or airbnb you find that people just want to make a buck without giving a quality overall experience. Many times you find that people cheap out, and this place does not. The level of quality is very high, so high that despite not having family or anything in Granby, we will likely go back to just relax for a few days because it was such a good experience. I would recommend checking this place out.

Not realizing they usually only have reservations for a small amount of guests. They got us in and sat us near the bar which was fantastic. Excellent service and simple but sophisticated menu. Just going to say everything was fantastic from the espresso martini to the Black & Blu Elk Filet, the scalloped potatoes, green beans, to the mushroom gnocchi, we added chicken and that was the only things that probably didn't actually go well together. It's was good but not much flavor on the chicken, but the gnocchi was incredible. Super cool ambience in an amazing old building. I'm sure this would be a great place to stay as well.
