About this property

Escape to a 5-star Lodge at the top of a mountain in SW Colorado

Spectacular Lodge located between Durango and Telluride in SW Colorado.
Seven bedrooms, 7 1/2 bathrooms, three lofts, large Great Room, two family rooms, library, and surround porch all in a one-of-a- kind setting within a National Forest. The Lodge is placed in a 160 acre ranch located at the top of a mountain (9700 feet) ten miles inside the San Juan National Forest. No need to worry about social distancing.

NOTE: In the winter YOU WILL NEED A SNOWMOBILE TO GET INTO THE LODGE as the Forest service closes the road when the snow gets deep. We can direct you to a snowmobile rental company if you don't have a snowmobile.

Exquisite details. Rustic elegance. Unique accessories throughout. Comfortable living. Spectacular sunsets and star-gazing. You can see 100 miles + into both Utah and New Mexico from our mountaintop retreat. Easy access to hiking and outdoors .

NOTEA new gourmet kitchen was installed in the Fall (2020) with 5 burner stove, double oven, extra large refrigerator, trash compactor, and dishwasher. The kitchen has two sinks and a cooking island. It is equipped with full compliment of le Creuset cast iron cookware and well as a set of normal cookware. The kitchen is fully outfitted with almost any utensil you will need. If there are any deficiencies please let us know.

The property is a convenient to Mesa Verde National Park as well as a number of other Native American Heritage sites.
