A-lodge Hospitality

What A-lodge Hospitality does

A-Lodge Hospitality is a privately held, adventure-focused lodging operator founded in 2014 in Boulder, Colorado by Asa Firestone and Kris Klauber. It runs a portfolio of three properties in Colorado — the original A-Lodge Boulder on Fourmile Canyon, A-Lodge Lyons on Main Street, and the recently acquired A-Lodge Salida (formerly Mt. Shavano KOA) — alongside event and food-and-beverage venues including the Creekside Pavilion, Rock Garden Beer Garden, and a saloon.

The company monetizes through per-night accommodation across multiple formats (hotel rooms, hostel beds, cabins, micro cabins, chalets, RV sites, tent camping), event venue rentals, food and beverage, and add-on adventure services such as guide concierge and equipment rentals. Revenue is supplemented by partnerships with regional operators including Eldora Mountain Resort and local rafting, climbing, and ski guides, allowing bundled adventure packages. Operations are supported by standard hospitality technology including ResNexus and Cloudbeds property management systems; no proprietary technology platform has been disclosed.

A-Lodge targets outdoor enthusiasts, vanlife and digital-nomad travelers, leisure visitors to Colorado mountain towns, and small private event groups, with a positioning anchored in authentic outdoor culture and staff expertise. Brand traction is evidenced by a 4.5-star rating across 727 reviews and a 9.7/10 HostelWorld score. The company operates with 11–50 employees and has not disclosed external funding.
