Spending your holiday in Steamboat Springs this year? You'll probably want to make it as festive as possible - starting with your very own Christmas tree. Our dedicted concierge team can coordinate delivery of your very own tree - decorated, or ready for you and your family to decorate upon your arrival. There are trees of various sizes and a variety of options for decorations (garlands, wreaths, etc.), to make your magical and festive for guests and children.
You may want to consider a catered chalet package for your Christmas dining at home, or a some pre-made meals which we can order for you.
