The Steamboat Lodge is a great choice when visiting Steamboat. We came into town in July for one week during a baseball tournament. Several of our team mates also stayed at the Lodge which was fabulous because the kids got to walk around the property, hang out in the tennis courts, swim in the pool. The best part of the Lodge is the community room and deck with two BBQ grills. We hosted a team party at the Community Room and there was plenty of seating for everyone and with two grills we were able to get the food served to guests quickly and warm. Parking is abundant which makes it great when returning home from late night baseball games. We arrived one night at 1 a.m. after a 5 hour rain delay and there was sufficient parking. Depending on which building you are assigned to will determine the noise factor inside your unit. Without knowing, we selected a unit which was right on the main road so at night when we had our windows open we could hear car noise. The staff is wonderful, polite and helpful with directions, activity suggestions or with airport transportation. With Safeway right down the street on day one we stopped off to do some grocery shopping allowing us to make breakfast and pack lunch each day for the baseball tournaments. With so many good restaurants in the area, we selected different ones too frequent in the evening. Directly across the street is a market which was great for morning coffee, fruit, bread any thing that you might have forgotten or run out of. A huge selection of alcohol. There are so many nearby activities, fishing, tubing down the river, mountain coaster, the slides, horseback riding, the rodeo and more. I would definitely stay at the Lodge at Steamboat, in the future I would reserve a building and unit set back from the main road.
