"If you're concerned about money, you can skip the long-haul road trip, and you can skip the flights and just stay at home. We have so many great places you can enjoy with your family or with a loved one or by yourself!" said Broste. "There are so many cool places in Denver, Boulder, our mountain towns."

If it's in your budget, Broste says, you can make it luxurious. Here are some of her favorites.

Hotel Alpenrock in Breckenridge. Hilton

"If you're going to Breckenridge, I love Hotel Alpenrock, right at the base of Breckenridge. There's also a speakeasy there, so it's a lot of fun."

"In Boulder, the Limelight, which is actually an Aspen hotel," she added. "It's pretty much on the CU Boulder campus, and it's in the center of all the fun activity. If you want to walk down Pearl Street and just enjoy the Hill."
