Assemble a "build your own breakfast" to-go at the Candlewood Cupboard. The Candlewood showcases spectacular views of the mountains and Denver in the distance from its windowed gazebo area. Because the inn is less than an hour away from the nearest ski resort, the special ski packages offered come in handy. Go biking, windsurfing, kayaking, horseback riding and fishing at nearby Bear Creek Lake Park, which is also home to an array of wildlife and an indoor nature center (lakewood.org). Pets are allowed at the Candlewood Suites with a nonrefundable fee based on length of stay. Double rooms, as of January 2010, start from $69 per night.
