YMCA of the Rockies Snow Mountain Ranch

The building we were in was very old, outdated, dirty, and hot. The beds were clean and comfortable but the bathroom was dirty and had lots of black hairs on the floor so I know it isn’t been swept or mopped. The upstairs guest were extremely noisy and we had to call security 2 times. This is not a place I would visit again.

Great family spot. Low key, great vistas, and lots of stuff for kids to do (mini golf, skating, swimming pool, playgrounds, etc). Nice little chapel too, if you’re there on a Sunday.

Overall had a good experience!

The buildings are older and there is no AC/TV. With that being said, a majority of why people come is for the outdoor activities. My husband and I just stayed for the night, but loved how accessible the trails are from the property. We would come back and bring our family next time!

Overall we enjoyed our stay. The room was ok type however the options for activities are great, be it swimming pool, summer tubing, art and craft. We would love to visit agian with my family.

A++ from service to value to the room itself, we will be back. Thank you and God bless.

Great family oriented place.

The view is beyond amazing. There are so many activities going on all the time. The pool hours are limited so check their site for those. There is not a t.v. in the room nor a.c. however we use our phone and tablets and opened the windows and used the box fan. This is not a five star hotel. This is a lodge. It's like family summer camp type vibe. We will be staying again.

Great for family with kids!

Clean accommodations surrounded by the Rocky Mountains. Mountain towns close by that have food, shopping, and gas. Pleasant stay.

The mountain retreat experience was really enjoyable and the conference room and dining facilities were able to accommodate all of our group. Great job YMCA!

The view is beautiful, but we didn’t have friendly staff. Room was decently clean, but not super clean. The pool was closed and it was only open the next day 6-8pm, also we missed dinner the first night which closed at 7:30pm, check in wasn’t until 6pm and the staff did not tell me dinner closed at 7:30. So we had to drive into Winterpark 20 mins away at 7:40 to feed our family. We also missed breakfast the next morning because it closed at 9am and no one told us. The ymca resort is not for us! Nothing fancy at all, but it does have a million dollar view.

Family Spring Break trip, awesome tiime in the snow

good

It has numerous great amenities, a great pool but be warned, if you have a child under 13 they will have to complete a swim test that many kiddos couldn't complete, so they have to wear a life jacket and can only ride 1 of the slides and stay in a certain area. That was extremely disappointing because then they can't practice swimming or do the rock wall or the bigger slide. There are plenty of other things to do though, like snow tubing, just make sure you are ready for a workout climbing back up the hill! The crafts were great, but don't go the day you check out or you will be limited. The food onsite in expensive, but there are nearby options, including a grocery store. The atmosphere was great, but the soundproofing was awful. We heard constant running and banging until 1am both nights, so I had to get security so my family could sleep. We had a good time but definitely should have had a little more information on the website for limitations or what to expect. We will try it again, but with different expectations.

Our stay was fine for the price, the room wasn’t terrible. The toilet did leak/run for prolonged periods. And we could clearly hear kids running around in the room above us at 6:30am. One of the biggest bummers was that the pool (which was only open from 6 to 8pm on the night of our stay…with a 6pm room check in) had reached max capacity. they were turning away many families, and you could add your name to a waitlist but by the time we got back they were at capacity again. so don’t count on that.

Great value, for sure. Lots of wonderful activities for families. Rooms were clean, understandably an older feel as they keep pricing down to accommodate so many, which is wonderful. Hotel room was clean as were linens despite age. Unable to get into room until after 6 pm as it was a very busy time for them (Spring break). Tubing was so so fun and staff there were engaging, helpful and friendly and got us checked in quickly with waivers despite other guests taking more time. Pool staff were friendly and informative about other pool opportunities when pool had to close due to a bathroom accident. Some staff, despite being approached with kindness were gruff and could use a little bit more education on how to manage guests with friendliness. (Gentlemen at the Stables and one woman at the art room.) Overall, our two night stay was filled with great family time and bonding. I truly appreciate all this stay, and the wide variety of activities offered. It can’t be easy to do that with so many folks enjoying the property at the same time.

Beautiful property, friendly staff, delicious breakfast!

Good stay both times, but this time a lot more noise from the room next door. Walls seemed thin.

We love the Nordic Center. The trails are excellent. The lodging is adequate. We've stayed in Aspen Lodge, Silver Sage, and Indian Peaks. Aspen Lodge and Silver Sage have bunk beds along with queen beds, and never seem to have enough lighting. Walls are very thin and there's no TV. The Y is focused on family time, which is ok, but a lot of parents allow their kids to run up and down the halls, being noisy way past quiet hour (10pm). The atriums in Aspen Lodge and Silver Sage reverberate with noise. Indian Peaks is lacking the bunk beds but it can still be very noisy so we avoid these rooms at all costs during weekends and holidays. The lodges and rooms are older, and the animal heads mounted in the atriums are offensive to some of us. With that said, during the week can be very nice, and the trails are right outside the lodges. Dining is very limited at the Y, so be prepared to bring microwave food if you don't want to drive into town/or miss the dining hours. The employees here tend to be very nice and helpful. I left my purse in my room one time after check out and the cleaning people made sure I got it back. The views around the Y and from the trails are gorgeous. This review is not meant to be negative, just an honest assessment because we've been staying here for years.
