We're beginning Mustaschians, but my wife and I enjoy taking our annual vacation to Colorado to the mountains. We haven't been for a couple of years, so we want to give it a shot this summer. At any rate, we always stay in the Estes Park area, and it's definitely not "off-peak." So we're open to looking to other places in order to find a better deal. The cabin we would likely rent in EP is $209 a night, definitely not Mustaschian. We are looking to go the day after Labor Day (so offpeak that way), but realize that if we could get away from Estes Park, we could probably save some money. However, having gone there for so many years as antimustaschians, we don't have a clue where to go.
We're open to just about any location in CO, provided it's a short drive to hiking. For the cabin itself, we'd like either a king or two twin beds (I'm a big guy, but starting to get smaller), plus at least a stove and fridge for cooking our meals. A bbq grill would be nice too. Don't need hot tub, playgrounds, swimming pools or any of that.
Any Coloradoan Mustachians or other Mustaschians that travel there have recommendations?
