My husband and I have stayed at the best resorts in this area and nothing can compare with The Boulders Resort. The rooms are very warm and inviting. The bathroom is beautiful. The grounds of the resort are like no other. It is like you are the only one there. I love sitting on the patio watching the animals. The... more

Everything about our stay at the Boulders was beyond our expectations. Lodings were fantastic & staff were terrific! Don't forget to take the trail ride at Trail Head ranch. It's the best trail ride I've ever been on. Ask for Russ to be your guide. He was so kind & informative. The scenery was breathtaking! One of the best parts... more

My husband and I stayed here for 6 days in mid-September for pure relaxation to get away from the depressing NY summer. I have to say, this place was the perfect choice. The Boulders is a beautiful surprise that you find at the end of a long, winding driveway. The backdrop for this resort is stunning, with boulders, wildlife, and... more

Bliss!

Arrived back home to the UK yesterday 25th Sept. and felt we just had to write and congratulate the staff on a wonderfully relaxed and stress free two week vacation. Our 2 bed, 2 1/2 bath villa was home from home, all mod cons, spacious, everything worked efficiently and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. The villa was almost... more

I stayed here over the Labor Day long weekend on a solo spa trip. I had a stand-alone Sonoran Casita which was really nice and private. My casita was in the 200s section which is close to the spa. If you'll be spending a lot of time at the spa and fitness center (i.e. every day) I recommend asking for... more

We cannot wait to return to The Boulders! It was a return visit and every bit as good as the first experience. From the moment you arrive, you will feel your worries and cares melt off of you. The grounds are meticulously maintained and the natural beauty and wildlife that surrounds your every step takes your breath away. We stayed... more

There is wired(in room) or wireless capabilities via Wayport connection. There is a mini frig. in the room filled with drinks, which we did... more

This resort IS all its cracked up to be...the staff were kind, polite, and genuinely interested that you have a great time. They bend over backwards to ensure it. My husband and I did not want to leave. We stayed in a Cassita that overlooked the golfcourse and boulders. It was the size of a townhouse and spotless. The grounds... more

Only stayed one rnight because we were playing the Boulders Golf course... wish it could have been longer. Early next morning, sitting on the deck of our casita as the sun rose, we greeted the day with a silver fox, cardinals, rabbits, and ravens.... All before an 0830 tee time! Later in the day, we had to chase a bobcat... more
