Just 20 minutes from Rocky Mountain National Park’s West Entrance, near Grand Lake, Colorado, lies Sun Outdoors Rocky Mountains, a 200-acre resort with unparalleled amenities for the area.

There’s actually so much to do on property that it may be hard to leave it. There’s paddleboarding, dropping a fishing line into the headwaters of the Colorado River, swimming in a pool, soaking in hot tubs and lacing up at the mini-bowling alley. There’s also a putting green, yoga lawn, fitness center and basketball courts. When you’ve worked up an appetite, you can stroll to The Summit Bar & Grill and Headwaters Tavern, perfect places to enjoy a meal, grab a drink and relax.

Offering more lodging options than any other property in the area, the resort has vacation home rentals, Airstreams and Conestoga wagons. For those who prefer camping under the stars, you can pull up to a tent or RV site. There’s something for everyone, no matter how adventurous you are or what your budget is.

“Sun Outdoors Rocky Mountains is perfectly situated to enjoy family time on property or experience some of the best outdoor recreation in the country,” says Lauren Huber, regional marketing manager of Sun Outdoors. “And with all of the different ways to stay at the resort, it will be easy to find the best fit for you and your friends or family.”

Plus, all come with beds and home furnishings, WiFi, a picnic table and fire pit. Most include the convenience of private kitchens and bathrooms. If there is no bathroom in the unit, there are common bathroom areas close by. And the tent sites? They also include WiFi, plus a picnic table and a fire pit. All tent sites are pet-friendly.

The property is a short complimentary shuttle ride from the small downtown of Granby, Colo., and 25 minutes from Winter Park, Colo. It’s located at the intersection of Hwy. 40 and Hwy. 34.

And if you enjoyed your stay a ton and want to spend more time in the area, Sun Outdoors Rocky Mountains sells three different models of villas that vary in number of bedrooms and layout.
