- The cheapest whole-group house starts at $450 a night in Colorado Springs and $590 in Carmel-by-the-Sea — roughly $140 a night between them, before anyone has eaten.
- Both are at their best in May, June, September. Carmel-by-the-Sea also holds up in April, October, November, and Colorado Springs in July, August.
- We carry noticeably more to do in Carmel-by-the-Sea (10 things) than in Colorado Springs (5), which matters most for the middle day when the group splits up.
