Families want the most value for their money but often don’t know where to start when booking a family getaway. Here’s everything to consider before planning your budget-friendly vacation — plus what’s included in a stay at Glenwood Canyon Resort.
Know When to Book Your Vacation
Timing can make all the difference when planning a family trip. Summer tends to be the most expensive, so for affordable options, consider traveling during the spring, fall, or winter. Off-peak months often offer great savings and smaller crowds.
The Most Affordable Accommodations
Every lodging option—from hotels to campgrounds—offers budget tiers. Compare total costs and amenities before booking. Sometimes spending a bit more for comfort, like extra beds or a separate living space, can make the trip more enjoyable for the whole family.
Cabin Rentals
Glenwood Canyon Resort offers eight cabin types, including budget-friendly options for families:
Glamping Tents
Enjoy the perfect mix of luxury and nature in our Glamping Tents. Designed for two adults, they feature a king bed, A/C, lounge area, and private outdoor deck with seating. The bathhouse is conveniently nearby.
