If you've actually *vacationed* in Colorado...
Where did you visit/stay? Did you like it? Good hotels? The more romantical the better. 
I'm looking up ideas for a mini-vacation while DH is home on leave. You'd think that by living here I'd have some great ideas, but nope.

Re: If you've actually *vacationed* in Colorado...
we've vacationed there twice. Breckenridge & Vail - we are ski/snowboard bums
in Breck we stayed at I believe something called Main Street Station, or something like that? It was a few years back. It was really nice and close & convenient to everything.
in Vail we stayed at the Lodge at Lionshead. That was awesome too. You cannot beat the romantic scene of the Vail Village. *swoon*
it sounds like no matter what you pick it will be great, Colorado is so beautiful!
DH and I went to Beaver Creek for a week long ski trip about 2 years ago. It was absolutely adorable. The room we stayed in was a suite with a kitchen and a fireplace and we spent a lot of time drinking wine in front of the fire and enjoying the outdoor hot tub. Very romantical.

See, I was thinking Vail or Breckinridge, but we're not really into skiing. Well, I kind of am, but he's not and we'll only have a day or two so I don't see him wanting to spend time on the slopes. Are there things to do in either of those towns that don't involve skiing?
there's a lot to see in the Villages. They are fun to walk around. Breckenridge is more of a town than a village - but it's still nice.
in Vail we snowmobiled one day (we were so sore from skiing we had to take a break) - that was cool. You can also take the Gondola to the top of Vail after 2pm I think, with regular clothes on - there is a restaurant up there & the view is amazing. They have an ice skating rink in their village which was cute too.
OK now I wanna go back. LOL.
hehehe. Yea you don't have to ski back down, thank God - we had quite a few drinks up there as I recall.
in fact, I am ashamed to admit that one day after skiing all day we ended up riding the Gondi down due to errrr...too many beverages. HA woops.
Awesome, thanks!
I've been to CO on vacation a couple of times. The first time we were in Vail and stayed at the Cascade (this was on a high school band trip, but the hotel was really nice!).
The other times I've gone to Rocky Mountain National Park/Estes Park/Allenspark, but we stayed with my aunt, so I can't comment on hotels. There are some beautiful (and easy) hikes in that area, plus Estes Park is really cute and has lots of good shopping and food.
I've down a couple ski trips in Vail, but I'm no help on recommendations. They were both with my dad who rents these insane houses and then brings all the kids in. It was beautiful though!
