My fiancé and I are getting married here July 14 of this summer. After a psychotic and seemingly endless search for a venue up in the Grand Vally, we finally found the heavenly oasis which is strawberry creek ranch 9n. I can give you another review after we actually have our wedding here, but what I can tell you for now is that this place feels like home. Family run, goodhearted people. Reasonably priced for what's in the area, and they include the tent the chairs the tables and an area for bride and groom to get ready. The place is stunning and you can tell Troy and his family have worked hard to make it both rustic and classy. I started crying during the tour, I can't believe that we are so lucky to get to commit our lives to each other in such a beautiful place.

Picture this: Sicily, 1942…read more Just kidding. Any Golden Girls fans? The man and I were in town during the 3 Lakes Ice Fishing Tournament this February, and had reservations at the Inn at Silvercreek for our time up in Granby; this location was super central to the surrounding area, and had so many different conveniences in close proximity - grocery store, restaurant options, liquor store (lol), bait shop, etc. The lodge is pretty big, and is most certainly a popular spot for people in the area to stay. What we didn't realize at the time, though, was that most units are privately owned, and vary significantly in quality/upkeep. So, rather than making reservations through the hotel itself, many of the units are posted on sites like Air BNB, and you can get a feel for what it is that you're getting for your stay (this is definitely something we plan on doing the next time we're in town). Parking is a little tough in the front of the building, but there are tons and tons of spots in the back when you actually get your room. Since we were there during such a busy time of year, the parking lot was jam packed, but I imagine it's super easy to find a good spot most other times of the year. Anyway. I was a little surprised by how well kept the main area of the hotel was for as old as it was; carpets were in pretty good condition, fixtures, wood on the walls, everything. Once we got to the front desks, a young man got us all squared away, and went the extra mile to be sure we were comfortable with what we were getting. My BF was on crutches at the time, so getting around was a little difficult, but this man offered a room that might be a bit easier for us to get to, and looked for rooms as close to the elevator as possible. He was super sweet, and we really appreciated his attentiveness. After checking in, we wanted to unload all our belongings into the room to get settled in for the weekend. One thing I really liked about this place was what I saw on the walk to our room... barber shop, tattoo parlor, small library, children's play area, arcade, full blown bar, and a separate (really nice) restaurant... it was insane! I'm sure there are other places that exist that are packed full of other businesses like this, but it'd been the first time I'd ever seen such a thing, and it was so rad! We were super excited to hit up the bar and arcade at that point. Now before, I said how refreshing it was that the older interior of the lobby area was so well kept. Our room... not so much. It was definitely old and worn: the heating unit was one of the old school types along the floor (which I'm sure everyone has stubbed a toe on at least once in their lives), the carpet wasn't too impressive, and the walls/fixtures were just super outdated. The whole room just felt kind of old and musty. It was also pretty small; definitely smaller than any other hotel room I've ever been in, and felt pretty cramped. This wasn't the end of the world, but now we know that Airbnb is the way to go next time we find ourselves in Granby. Over the weekend, we visited their in house restaurant a couple of times, and each time, the food was super delicious. Since I'm waiting so long to actually review this place, I don't remember what we had, exactly, but it was so so yummy each time we went. The waitstaff was pretty awesome and attentive, and the dining area wasn't ever really packed, so we felt at ease and relaxed both times we dined, which is always super key for us. We didn't spend much time in any of the fancy shops and stuff they had, but we did go to the arcade once (or twice?) to play air hockey, and had a blast together. It did get a little crowded at one point, which was our cue to boogie, but we had fun nonetheless. As a whole, I think that this place really has it going on. There's a lot to do to entertain yourself in the building, which is awesome. The lakes aren't too far away, either, so you can enjoy the outdoors and come back to a super bomb meal. I think my only complaint is that I could have been more comfortable in the room if it had been better maintained and taken care of, but it wasn't horrible, and I still had a great weekend. I'd definitely stay here again, and hope to at some point in the next year!

What really made this trip stand out was staying in a condo in Basecamp One. The ski-in/ski-out access was incredibly convenient and added such an extra layer of ease and enjoyment to the whole experience. Being able to step right out and onto the mountain (and back again) made everything feel that much more relaxed and enjoyable. The resort itself has such a welcoming, laid-back atmosphere, making it perfect for families, beginners, or anyone who just wants to enjoy skiing without the pressure of more intense terrain. The slopes are wide, well-groomed, and especially friendly for first-time or casual skiers--you can really take your time and enjoy yourself. The bistro was another highlight once again--the food is excellent and far better than what you might expect from a typical ski resort. It's the perfect place to warm up and recharge. The vibe across the mountain is always a good time. There's great music playing, and you can hear the sounds of wintertime fun all around--laughter, skis carving through snow, and that lively energy that makes a day on the mountain so special. If you're not a regular skier or just want to avoid risking bodily injury on more challenging runs, Granby Ranch is absolutely the place to go. It's fun, approachable, and consistently delivers a great experience. We'll definitely be back again.

Second to saying yes, hiring the Duchess of Denver was the best wedding decision we made! From…read morespending hours truly getting to know us, to having all the right connections, to gracefully navigating a weather pivot on our wedding day, Alex surpassed every expectation. My husband and I knew we wanted to create a unique, beautiful wedding experience that we, our family and friends would cherish and remember. We'd wanted elements of a traditional wedding weekend but one that felt fun and not like every other wedding we'd been to. We also knew that, as a busy engineer and lawyer, we had very little knowledge about what goes into a great wedding and very little time or desire to learn the intricacies of "the perfect wedding." Alex spent hours asking probing and fun questions. He really got to know our visions, desires and quirks. There were so many times when we said things like "we want a dinner the night before, but not a typical rehearsal reception with people standing around at hightop in a bland conference room." He absorbed all of it and turned it into a fabulous weekend. Alex's encyclopedic knowledge about James and Rebecca was invaluable when my work got super crazy a few months before the wedding. When I told Alex that I could do big decisions, but the little ones, like choosing ribbon color or envelopes for invitations, were hurting my brain, Alex stepped in and planned everything based on what he knew about us. Alex found us a breathtaking space in the Penrose Room at the Broadmoor, he coordinated flowers to match my colorful dress, helped pick perfect delicious meal stations that suited a variety of dietary needs, organized the music and stayed on top of the hotel until their 3,000 square foot Parker suite opened up. Alex interviewed and found the best make-up artist, designed hand calligraphed journals for our guests, and created guest bags that with fun and useful things. I could go on and on! Alex's management of every detail meant the weekend ran smoothly and everyone was happy! He created a bowling night for our out-of-town guests and wedding party, worked with the hotel make sure family members with friction had rooms far away from each other, stocked our bride and groom suite with snacks and champagne, moved us us through the precise schedule of photos, ceremony and reception, and organized a fun and delicious good-bye brunch. When a surprisingly rainy June meant our outdoor ceremony space was a mud-field, Alex pivoted and redesigned a large alcove in the reception space to be a cozy ceremony space. So many of our friends and family have said that ours was one of the best weddings they'd ever attended. Ok, ok, maybe they have to say that, but in this case, I think it's probably true! We would recommend Alex to any couple, especially successful professionals who want to create a first class, memorable experience (but might now have the first clue of how do to it).
