Looking for a place where the kids can be entertained while the adults do their own thing? The Omni Interlocken hotel in Broomfield has a summer camp for kids to keep them happy while parents play golf or hit the nearby shops. 303-438-6600.

The Bross Hotel in Paonia first opened in 1906 as "the only first-class hotel in the county." In the 1990s, it was revitalized and turned into a 10-room bed-and-breakfast inn. Today, it combines historic charm with modern amenities such as wireless Internet connections. It's a secluded base camp from which to do antique hunting and vineyard tours. 970-527-6776.
