Planning a Colorado mountain vacation can be easier and more affordable than you might think! If your family is watching the travel budget more closely, you're not alone. With some planning, there are many ways to save on a Steamboat vacation. Consider these tips to find the perfect Steamboat Springs vacation rental and enjoy fun and cost-friendly activities.
Tips To Save Money On Your Steamboat Vacation
If possible, plan to visit during a non-holiday week to save some on travel and other expenses. You’ll have a less crowded experience in winter and the early spring if you can plan your trip during an “off” week.
Dining and après receipts can add up quickly, and you can prepare meals in your Steamboat vacation rental for at least part of your stay, if your goal is to save money. A huge perk of renting with Retreatia is having a well-equipped kitchen to use during your stay. You’ll still want to set aside a budget for alpine cuisine at a fantastic local restaurant like Aurum Steamboat or enjoy happy hour and small plates at great spots like Table 79. But you can avoid eating an expensive meal out every day with just a little effort.
And the best part of cooking meals in your vacation rental? You’ll have an excellent excuse to pick up some groceries, beer, and spirits at Wild Plum Market.
Affordable Things To Do in Steamboat Springs
Biking and hiking around Steamboat is a perfect lower-cost activity the whole family will love. Renting a fat bike in winter or a mountain bike for warm weather trail riding is affordable and one of the best ways to view the local scenery. It can take days to explore all our best trails!
No trip to Steamboat in the summer or fall is complete without a hike to Fish Creek Falls or a stroll through Yampa River Botanic Park. Free summer events like Steamboat’s Summer Concerts and Movies on the Mountain will make the kids happy and they will remember enjoying outdoor entertainment with a gorgeous backdrop! Also, consider rafting on the Yampa River or ziplining for a summer or early fall day of fun.
During the ski season, we suggest planning your Steamboat resort ticket strategy in advance. As a guest of Retreatia, you have the opportunity to purchase discounted lift tickets (up to 35% off), if you purchase 3 or more day lift tickets for the Steamboat Springs 2022/2023 season. The lift tickets must be purchased at least 7 days before the start skiing date.
If you’ll be on the slopes for about a week or more, or if you’ll be visiting during a holiday week, consider purchasing an IKON pass to avoid blackout dates. You’ll have access to ski at other resorts, too. Discounts are available to members of our military, nurses, and students enrolled in college.
