My partner and I loved our stay in the yurt! It was so cozy and warm, comfortable beds and the sunroof was a cool touch! The location was perfect, we were able to go so many places during our stay in CO. We’ll definitely stay here again!

Beautiful backdrop behind cabin, plus can walk down to river. Lots of traffic noise during day due to being right off interstate.

So rented the one bedroom cabin for a ski trip. Convinced me that a tiny home may just be the ticket for second home near the slopes. Great accommodations! Staff was very responsive. Quiet place to relax after a long day on the slopes and centrally located to a ton of ski hills. Will be back!

I would only stay here if you were going to use the adventure. The restaurant and bar was closed giving us little to do. The manager should stay in the cabin to see how odd the layout was. We also were charged a cleaning fee on top of the overnight charge.

Overall a very nice place. Nestled in a quiet area. From what I saw they offer awesome activities. Didn’t get to explore the offered activities, but they seemed to be pretty fun. Would like to see minor adjustments. The cabin I was in did not have wash clothes, but offered a bunch of towels. Maybe a window unit AC would be a good addition, other that that it was great. 8/10 would recommend!

I recommend booking directly with this property to ensure clean receipts and transparent pricing. Leave Expedia out of it if you are choosing this hotel to avoid the hassle. Expedia wont provide you an accurate bookings statement and you will be charged differently, and directly from the hotel for the full amount on your credit card anyway.

The place has been great in the past, but this time the bar was not open which was a bummer and the shower would not drain so only one person could shower and we all needed one. The heating system was weird it was freezing all night till like 4 am and then we were sweating.

Nice place to stay, clean cabins, friendly staff, but the food at the bar is way overpriced, drinks were exceptional. Grills to cook on outside are junk. My timing was bad for the weekend stay because the live action role players were dressed up as witches, fairies, knights and trolls and other mystical creatures were staying there. They partied all night and were loud and didnt respect the quiet time after 10pm. Thats why i give lawson park a 2 rating

We had a nice stay at this property. The Living Unit was spacious, well appointed and comfortable. There were minor maintenance issues that indicate a bit of inattentiveness on the part of staff, such as burnt out light bulbs, broken bedstand light, and non responsive ceiling fan fixture in the sitting space. Be advised that this property demands significant personal details prior to arrival. The most egregious of which is a demand for an electronic copy of ones drivers license sent via e-mail! This is simply over the top. I demanded that my personal information be safeguarded, or better yet completely deleted, and received no such assurance. This left a bitter taste that still lingers. We will not stay at this property again.

We chose Lawson Adventure Park for the mountain cabin experience for the central location to various towns and activities, some convenient on-site amenities, like basic dining options, and especially since they also offered white water rafting as an add-on activity. Pros: Communication was excellent; the texts and links provided were very helpful. Staff was friendly and helpful. The cabin was just large enough for 1 adult and 2 kids without feeling cramped. The scenery - wow, just beautiful. Great location - quick drive into Idaho Springs or Georgetown to dine or walk around. It was also a simple drive to Winter Park. Cons: NO A/C. It was just warm enough to be uncomfortable and took us awhile to fall asleep. There is a ceiling fan and a large portable fan. Another con - it's near a highway, so I'd recommend a white noise app on your phone. We wanted to open the windows for air flow, which I'd recommend during the day, but it's tough at night since we didn't want to hear the highway noise. I'd also check ensure the linens for the pull-out are clean. The Beginner white water rafting experience was so fun! Jimmy was our guide and he was excellent. He was so great with our group, patient, skilled, and had a calm energy. We would absolutely take their tour again (if water is cold, I'd definitely ask for a waterproof jacket, in addition to the wetsuits provided, which we weren't aware was available). But, we survived and it was fun nevertheless. Overall, a great value.
