Romantic Getaway
Hi Guys,
I absolutely LOVE the SW, I have been to CO, AZ, UT, and NM numerous times, and I keep coming back! I want to take my Gf there for a romantic getaway. The tickets are really cheap into DEN from ORD, but I am having trouble finding a lodge/resort/luxury lodging for around 150/night. I would like this to be in the mountains or at least with a beautiful view of mountains/lakes.
Can you PLEASE recommend me something?
Thank you FT!

It's prime ski season, so prices are going to be high.
Look into Breckinridge. A relatively short drive from Denver, but a really pleasant town. Be aware the drive back to Denver on Sunday afternoon/evening can be very slow.

Estes Park might be nice. Another enjoyable town.

Manitou Springs (Near Colorado Springs) is also lovely...Lots of funky little shops and, of course, the Pikes Peak railway is fun. The Cliff House is recommended for lodging. The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs is also a lot of fun. I've only stayed in the Fall, but the thing about Colorado is you can get 60 degree days in the middle of winter, or it could be 10 below.
I may have missed it, but how much time do you have? What time of year would you be going? What do you like to do? What is your budget?
