River or lake: which fits your trip?
Riverfront homes put you close to downtown, the Riverwalk and the hot springs. They suit couples and small groups who want to walk to dinner and listen to the river at night. Lake homes tend to offer more space, decks and views, and suit families and groups who want a quieter setting.
Some homes include extras such as kayaks, paddleboards or bikes. Check each home's page for what is provided and whether a waiver applies.
Seasons on the water
Summer is the classic season for the river and lake, with mild days and cool evenings. Fall brings golden aspens in late September, and winter turns the same views into a snow scene with Wolf Creek Ski Area about 40 minutes away. Spring is the quiet season and often the best time to find availability and good rates.
Rivers and lakes are cold and conditions change with the season, so follow posted guidance and supervise children near the water.
