Pros: Host wasn’t available to greet us, but we ended up having the place to ourselves and enjoyed the privacy
and quiet
Beautiful area of Northern Colorado
Great out-of-the way location
Dog friendly
Homemade bread (didn’t try the granola)
Close to parks and winter activities
WiFi and password availability
Ceiling fan in the bedroom
Lots of storage space in the closet and the bathroom shelves
Despite the restrictive check-in/check-out times, the host was flexible and let us arrive early
Cons: It snowed the night we arrived and into the next day. We didn’t realize the property had arrangements
for snow removal, so in the morning we began hand shoveling as long as we could. We had to wait until
plows cleared the driveway to make a Saturday morning trip to Steamboat Springs for a work-related
appointment.
Accommodations for meals in the area were minimal, and we mostly relied on the Clark Store for food
items. Apparently, the Hahn’s Peak Café wasn’t open, and the Hahn’s Peak Roadhouse recently changed
owners and wasn’t set up as a restaurant yet, so they weren’t serving meals. Glen Eden Restaurant was
closed. Not sure if these closures were due to business operations, lack of staff or the weather. (It would have been nice to know this before we arrived)
The web site, as well as the welcome card you left us, references “The Woof Ranch Bed & Breakfast.” A
B&B generally offers a continental breakfast (i.e., light pastries, fruits, yogurt and granola bars) or a
breakfast menu (i.e., warm meats, eggs and pancakes/toast) in addition to coffee, tea and even juices.
This differs from the baked bread, jams and candy dish provided during our stay. The web site lists a
microwave as one of the kitchen/dining amenities, a microwave would have been a much better amenity since there where no restuarants open for dinner meals.
It was difficult to prepare food and sit down to a meal in either room due to a lack of surface space for
doing so. The lack of a sink or running water, besides the bathroom sink, make it inconvenient to clean
used dishes, drinkware and utensils. Lastly, an extra garbage bag would have come in handy. An available roll of paper towels
would be a great addition and would have come in handy during our stay.
The futon in the open area was uncomfortable and required extra layers, including a sleeping bag and
thick blanket, to help soften the surface. Also, it was disruptive to listen to the minifridge kicking
