WHO WE ARE
Welcome to A-Lodge Boulder!
A-Lodge Boulder is the perfect combination of outdoor, rustic adventure and prime location close to the famous Pearl Street in downtown Boulder. Located just 2 miles from town, A-Lodge is on a 7 acre property with the gorgeous Fourmile Creek running right through the middle. Trails to Betasso nature preserve and down to town along the Boulder Creek are easily accessible, as is climbing in Boulder Canyon and mountain biking and running trails. Our lodging in Boulder ranges from a 3 bedroom cabin to standard queen hotel rooms to hostel beds to vehicle and tent campsites. So we cover it all for whatever type of traveler you are. Our seasonal pool, year round hot tub, slack line park, onsite trails, firepits, grills and saloon all add to the magic that you feel here at the A-Lodge.
The A-Lodge was founded right here in Boulder in 2014 on the principles of ACCESS. ADVENTURE. AMENITIES. Our goal is to give you access to the best experiences that Boulder has to offer, with quality accommodations and amenities, all close to world class trails, climbs and outdoor adventures.
Whether you’re climbing, fishing, skiing, cycling, hiking, or taking in the town, the A-Lodge offers instant access to all your favorite adventures and the right amenities to come home to after an exciting day off the beaten path.
We consider ourselves “adventure concierge” and encourage you to ask about the local trails and crags, meet new friends by our firepit, and make plans for future adventures. We are here to make sure you have a great Colorado experience. If there is anything we can do to make your stay more enjoyable – we want you to let us know!
Thanks for choosing the A-Lodge!

Our goal is to give you access to the best outdoor adventures that Boulder has to offer, with the best rustic accommodations near town. This has led us to build the A-Lodge around three principals: Access, Adventure, and Amenities.
Whether you’re climbing, fishing, skiing, cycling, hiking, or taking in the town, the A-Lodge offers instant access to all your favorite adventures and the right amenities to come home to after an exciting day off the beaten path.
We consider ourselves “adventure concierge” and encourage you to ask about the local trails and crags, meet new friends by our firepit, make plans for future adventures, and wash off the dirt from the trail in Fourmile Creek (the creek literally runs through the A-Lodge.) We are here to make sure you have a great Colorado experience. If there is anything we can do to make your stay more enjoyable – we want you to let us know!
We are on-site seven days a week (as is Gunner – our partner with four-legs). We are committed to providing you with A-level service and accommodations. We love to talk adventure and have many great recommendations for you during your stay in Boulder. We will likely see you when you return to enjoy a cold beverage at our newly renovated saloon in our lobby (also a historic landmark of Boulder County).
Thanks for choosing the A-Lodge!
