Chautauqua is a hiker’s paradise with 40 miles of trails in every direction at all levels of difficulty. Dogs love our hikes and are allowed on most trails (and in many of our cottages). Don’t forget to stock up with water, snacks, dog toys and sunscreen from the General Store before you set off. Check out this Boulder CVB guide to Chautauqua hikes. Group and guided hikes are available upon request at the lodging office.

GAME ON! 

Hiking is superb here – but we have other outdoor activities, too. Get a friendly tennis, basketball, or pickleball competition going. We also have yoga mats, frisbees, and an assortment of giant board games available for guests to check out. 

RELAX WHILE THE LITTLE ONES PLAY

Wander through our beautiful Centennial and Waterwise gardens where you can not only relax and de-stress, but also learn more about our native Colorado plants. Children can get their wriggles out at our beautiful playground with its state-of-the-art play and climbing structures, including a mini-Auditorium and child-sized replica of the Flatirons.  Finish the day watching the sun drop behind the Flatirons, followed by a spirited board game on your cottage porch.
