Best Father's Day gift ever...buy Dad a gift of memories together at the Sunshine Ridge Guest House. We have had 8 years of experience of making our renters happy. Every year is better and better. See our reviews and compare. Also note that we don't have those sneaky cleaning fees or resort fees. Enjoy a relaxing time together, away from the hustle & bustle. Great for intimate weddings, book club retreats, yoga retreats, corporate retreats, mens golf outing, hiking groups and of course family reunions. Sit by the fire & play games with family or friends. Come relax & enjoy the great outdoors in an authentic mountain town. Glenwood is one of the last true mountain towns that still has the 'Old West' feel. Make Glenwood your home for a week or weekend & stay at a great mountain home with your family & friends. The house is a wonderful, warm & comfortable place. Very family friendly. The restaurants, shopping & conveniences of Glenwood Springs are just 5 miles away, but you will be hiding in remote 4 Mile Canyon. Our 40 acre property is part of a conservation easement protected by the Aspen Valley Land Trust. The house is within a 5 minute drive of Sunlight Mountain Ski Resort, White River National Forest, and unlimited recreational activities from white water rafting to mountain biking to world class fly fishing. Glenwood Hot Springs is only 10 min away as well as the Glenwood Caverns & Amusement Pk. Spring is one of our favorite times to enjoy Glenwood Springs because of the fabulous colors, great temperatures and the hot springs & caverns/adventure park are open year round. Of couse everyone loves summer because of the sunshine and so many outdoor activites. They also love winter because skiing at Sunlight is a blast. Please note: We NEVER accept wired funds & NO cashier's checks, for your safety and ours.

********What can I do in Glenwood Springs?

Glenwood Springs was just listed as one of the top seven ski towns in Rand McNally & USA Today's January 2012 issue of 'Best of the Road'.

Also...

Read what Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park Blogger, Mandy Gauldin, Public Relations guru has to say...

'There’s a reason Glenwood Springs was named the Most Fun Town in America by Rand McNally and USA Today. It really is fun, and that makes it a great destination for spring breakers. Whether you live on the Front Range and need a staycation, or are coming from out-of-state for your Colorado ski trip, we hope you’ll consider Glenwood Springs.

(Any time of the year) here’s a look at what you can do in Glenwood Springs:

*In the off-season, Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park has smaller crowds than you’ll find here in the summer. Our Winter Fun Pass will still be available, and it’s an incredible deal. For just $31 per person, you get a round-trip ride on the Iron Mountain Tramway, or a bus in inclement weather, a 70-minute guided Cave Tour, and unlimited access to the Alpine Coaster, 4D Motion Theater and Laser Tag Arena. You can add lunch at the Lookout Grille.

*Ski or ride at one or more of the seven ski resorts located within an hour of Glenwood Springs, including Vail, Aspen, Aspen Highlands, Beaver Creek, Snowmass, Buttermilk and Sunlight Mountain Resort. That’s especially nice because the lodging in Glenwood Springs is significantly more affordable than in neighboring Aspen and Vail, and you are located right in the middle of these world-class resorts.

*Play and relax at the Glenwood Hot Springs, the world’s largest hot springs pool, which is well known for its healing mineral waters. Weather permitting, the pool’s two water slides will be open the last two weeks of March, which adds even more fun to your swim. The pool is open until 10 p.m. every night, so you can spend the day with us, and then relax in the pool afterwards.

*You can also laugh the night away at the Glenwood Vaudeville Revue, get pampered at one of several spas in town, take a snowmobile tour, go snowshoeing or cross-country skiing, choose from an amazing variety of restaurants and go shopping. With more than 100 stores, Glenwood Springs is the largest retail shopping area between Denver and Grand Junction.'

Saving you money - cost comparison: The Sunshine Ridge Guest House Value Proposition

We’re committed to offering an exceptional vacation experience for our guests. This includes making sure you get your money’s worth! Here are some examples of what it costs to stay with us…….

•For a Party of 16, our nightly rates are anywhere from $44 -$63 per person, depending on the season. Also note that we don't add those sneaky fees that add up: no cleaning fees and no resort fees.

As you consider accommodations for your group, please compare our rates to your other options. Our per person prices are comparable to most hotels in the area, and Sunshine Ridge offers a huge, gourmet kitchen and great common areas for your group to gather. When comparing costs, also consider the money you will save by cooking instead of eating out. We’ve gone out of our way to insure you’ll have everything you need for a relaxing and comfortable vacation, at pricing that will make you wonder why you would ever go back to a hotel room.

About Shirl and Andrew Niemeyer

Our family lives in Colorado on the Front Range and we love to travel. Our favorite place to revisit is Glenwood Springs, for skiing, spring flowers, summer fun, fall leaf peeping and celebrating holidays with friends. We come to the house with many types of friends, too...yoga groups, kayak teams, CU engineering RA retreat groups, team building meetings for our other business, chefs cook-offs, weddings, and just relaxing with friends and family. Everyone we bring loves the house and the town of Glenwood Springs.

Shirl and Andrew Niemeyer purchased this house in 2005
Why Shirl and Andrew Niemeyer chose Glenwood Springs

We have rented homes around the country with our family and friends for many, many years. We visited Glenwood Springs and fell in love with the town. As soon as we walked into the Sunshine Ridge Guest House, we knew that it was a perfect place to be a 'Second Home' for all and decided to purchase it for a Vacation Rental Home. It is so warm, welcoming and family friendly inside. The floor plan is perfect for a large group because there are wings where you can hide for privacy, but many options in and outside for large gatherings. The views are stunning and therapeutic. The house is located in a quiet valley, but close to town, skiing and outdoor activities. Of course, there are great options for wildlife viewing and hiking on the property, too.

Kitchen Good for Many Cooks at Once

Submitted: September 12, 2010 Stayed: June 2010
Perfect spot for a family gathering, in our case our daughter's wedding on a nearby ranch!
Everyone who stayed here or visited loved the house. I'm sure some of us will return.
The house is well suited for gatherings - enough private space and common space.
Kitchen good for many cooks at once and cozy living room with fireplace - a good intimate spot.
Thank you!

Life Long Memories

Submitted: September 12, 2010 Stayed: October 2009
Our family gathered from CA, UT, NM, IL, PA, NY and CO to celebrate birthdays. But it was more a celebration of us - 3 generations of us. We could have found no better experience than this - and this venue provided life long memories that will bond our family over the years. Thanks!
