Hi, all,
DH and I are hoping to travel west, along with our elementary schooler, this summer. I won't bore you with details or our itinerary but it looks like we might be able to work in about 4 nights around Rocky Mountain National Park (we'll be flying to the Denver airport and heading toward South Dakota). Any recommendations on lodging near the park? We want something that includes standard plumbing and, ideally, a kitchen (microwave + mini fridge would be fine, though). And much prefer something that allows a separate sleeping area for DS (doesn't really have to be his own "room," but needs to allow us to be awake while he is falling asleep in a private spot).
We'll be getting a rental car, but would prefer to be either very near the park, or possibly in a small urban area within walking distance of decent-yet-affordable restaurants.
Obviously other things equal we'd prefer less expensive, but I'd happily pay more (within reason) for a place that doesn't have a television.
