This year the Colorado Association of Naturopathic Doctors held it's annual conference at the Dao House. I couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. The environment was perfect for our community to come together on a deeper level. Some people may find the lack of TV's in the room or limited WIFI frustrating... but this is in alignment with the vision of the Dao House. It is the perfect space to unplug, connect with nature and remember that life is about being in the present moment. This is the perfect place to rekindle your capacity to be mindful and aware in your life again. The staff is excellent and the Tai Chi / Qi Gong classes added to the overall experience.

Amazing for our wedding!!! We used Danna Frost for our photographer. She knew how to find things and make the beautiful setting even better. The site was perfect. I have never slept so well. The beds were cozy and the mountain air crisp and fresh!

Dao House is a bit rustic and quirky but so incredibly clean, comfortable and the location/views are unmatched. Staff was helpful and kind and went above and beyond for us in every way. Thoughtful touches throughout and just enough service to connect to the world when needed but plenty of opportunity to unplug as well. Highly recommend for a no frills, comfortable and quaint hotel.

WARNING READ THIS BEFORE BOOKING. Horrible experience from check-in to check-out. The property looks abandoned. There is no TV, and the wi-fi is extremely limited, barely usable. No refrigerators.. they say two shared available, but the shared refrigerator was extremely small (smaller than a dorm frig) and jammed with other guests stuff. Breakfast was a joke, pre-sliced bananas and halfed muffins. The walls are extremely thin. Three guys stayed in the room next to us. They weren't loud or obnoxious or anything, but we heard their conversation as if they were in the room. I had to play white noise to go to sleep but that kept pausing because the internet was so bad. This was not a stay for comfort and relaxation, It was quite the opposite. The entire place gave cult like vibes, making for a very uncomfortable stay!

If you want a no-frills disconnect from the modern world, Dao house is your place. Quiet, peaceful, no cell service, no TV, no AC. Really peaceful and lovely, time for each other face to face. Gorgeous location and views!! If you like coffee in the morning, you probably should bring it with you. Hot water is always available, but the coffee- that to my knowledge was supposed to be made by the leisurely hour of 7am- never appeared. The mini pot for "early risers" was empty the first morning (never set up) and its product the second morning tasted distinctly of the Asian Grocery scent emanating from the kitchen. Don't let this deter you from staying here. It's a very peaceful place with opportunity to spend real time with your family, board games and books and hiking abound.
