Boulder’s A-Lodge expanding to Lyons

LYONS — Boulder’s A-Lodge, or Adventure Lodge, an outdoor recreation-centric hotel off Boulder Canyon Drive, is opening a second location this summer in Lyons. 

The new six-room A-Lodge will be at 338 Main St., the former location of Aspen Leaf Motel. A-Lodge owners Asa Firestone and Kris Klauber purchased that property last year. Boulder County property records show the motel changed hands in October for $736,000.

Short-term rentals for at least a few of the rooms will likely be available within about a week, Firestone told BizWest.

As Mental Health Awareness Month unfolds in Colorado, it serves as a reminder of the collective responsibility to prioritize mental well-being.

“Lyons has always been on my radar. I’m a big fan of the Rocky Mountain Folk Festival as well as the mountain biking, exceptional fishing and rock climbing that make Lyons a great adventure town,” Firestone said in a prepared statement. “Lyons is one of the true, authentic small towns still around in Colorado, especially on the Front Range. It just made sense as the location for our next property.”

The Lyons property could eventually include a beer garden and a boutique operated as a partnership with artist Jeremy Collins’ Meridian Line apparel brand. 

“There’s so much music and art here,” Firestone said of Lyons. “It’s like the best parts of Boulder without all the tech companies.”
