Included Amenities
Lodge rooms and cabins include bed linens, towels, and free Wi-Fi. Cabins also include kitchen utensils, dishes, pots and pans, and a coffee maker. The YMCA does not have air conditioning in any of the lodging, but cool mountain air makes up for it! The lodge rooms and most cabin types do not include televisions — but you can borrow games and puzzles from their libraries and programs departments! Wi-Fi is free, with no password, but it’s not a secure network.
The YMCA offers a linen exchange, where you can bring your used towels and linens and exchange them for clean ones, but they do not provide housekeeping turn-overs during stays.
Accessibility
The YMCA of the Rockies offers many accessibility features in their lodging and programs. Please call their reservation line to discuss specific needs and how they can best meet them.

Check-in & Check-out Times
A small but mighty team of housekeepers is responsible for cleaning 500 lodge rooms and more than 200 cabins on any given day. In order to provide groups with the best experience, it can take time to clean accommodations.
Guests are welcome to check-in once rooms are cleaned; however, YMCA of the Rockies does not guarantee check-in until 6:00 p.m. on the day of arrival and check out is 10:00 a.m. on the day of departure. If arriving before 6:00 p.m. and rooms are not ready, guests are encouraged to take advantage of the YMCA’s complimentary facilities and activities. For guests arriving later, the Administration Building’s Front Desk staff are available 24 hours a day.
