Concierge.com's insider take:

The Faessler family, who own the Sonnenalp, got their start in the hospitality industry in Bavaria, and this luxury hotel honors the aesthetic with a white-gabled facade and hand-carved pine furniture from Germany. The location is central in the village (and a five-minute walk to the Vista Bahn lift), and the heated indoor/outdoor pool fronts Gore Creek, which rambles by the resort. Most of the 137 rooms—from studios to two-bedroom suites—have a gas fireplace and a spacious bathroom with heated marble floors. Ludwig's, the in-house restaurant, serves Colorado-inspired fare with a Bavarian accent: One classic interpretation is the pistachio-crusted lamb chop with shank strudel in star-anise–blackberry sauce.

From the readers of Condé Nast Traveler:
Rooms in this Bavarian-style resort owned and run by a German family have gas-log fireplaces, double tubs, and exposed ceiling beams; "the nicest ones face the river, so you hear the sound of water as you sleep." At Ludwig's, the "breakfast is best enjoyed on the deck that faces southwest and gets the morning sunshine."
