About this property

Exclusive Family Luxury Mountaintop Lodge on 43 acres

BYERS PEAK LODGE

Byers Peak Lodge sits atop a rocky, wooded ridge on 43 acres, adjoining 1300 acres of open space, just 4 miles east of Granby, Colorado. This magnificent, 5 bedroom, 7 bath, 5000 square foot, custom log home is a masterpiece of Colorado mountain architecture. Completed in 2002, the Lodge provides numerous amenities.

For a virtual tour of our home, please use your browser to find "The Seasons at Byers Peak Lodge".

Custom rock fireplaces grace the great room on the main level and the entertainment room on the lower walkout level. The fireplace in the great room features two 6000-pound, lichen-encrusted boulders taken from a cliff on the property. One of these massive boulders is a natural replica of Byers Peak, the 12800 ft. , snow-capped peak oriented directly in the center of the Lodge’s panoramic great room windows. The Lodge’s unobstructed views are unparalleled in Grand County.

The dining area is designed for gatherings of friends and family, with a wide, family-style table and adjoining bar and stools. The kitchen features a refrigerator, two conventional ovens, a microwave, a vented cooking range, two dishwashers, and two disposals. For outdoor cooking with a view, the Lodge offers a deluxe, stainless steel, gas grill, located on the main-level deck, which wraps around 3 sides of the home. Or, for those not inclined to cook, restaurants in every price range are abundant in Granby, Winter Park, and Grand Lake.

Each of the five bedrooms features handcrafted, natural aspen log beds. Adjoining bathrooms offer jacuzzi tubs; separate, seated showers with handrails; sink and toilet. Also in each suite or adjoining hall we have washers and dryers (4 sets total) for your after ski laundry necessities.

The entertainment room, quietly isolated on the bottom walkout level, provides the latest in LG Smart TV technology. Guests can choose from a variety of apps on the 86" TV while relaxing on reclining leather sofas, loveseats, and beanbags.

This home is family friendly: there are 2 dishwashers, 2 ovens, 4 washers and dryers, and 2 fireplaces.

We are a non-smoking, no animal home, due to the allergies of family members and many of our guests.

We regret that we are no longer able to host events at Byers Peak Lodge that include day guests who are not actually staying at the lodge. A few unfortunate past experiences prompted this decision out of respect for the peace and privacy of our neighbors.

Beautiful lodge perfect for our large family gathering— each of the 5 bedrooms has its own bathroom and laundry access. Extremely well-appointed, amazing views, so much to do in the area, and a welcoming home base to relax and enjoy the peace and beauty of the mountains. Would happily stay again. While expensive, it was worth it!

The host called me before our stay and told me about some problems with an oven and dishwasher. I appreciated the info but hope that the issues will be fixed before our next stay. Also a little concerned about the number of people allowed on the property at one time - a little too restricted, We don’t throw parties but would like to have a place where a few extra family members can gather to visit or share a meal. Excellent place to stay and love the bedroom and bathroom accommodations.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Aug 2026
Thanks for the feedback. The restrictions on the number of people staying at any short term rental are imposed by Grand County. 16 people is the greatest number of people allowed on the property at any given time. Our lodge can comfortably house more than that, but there are penalties for exceeding the limit, which include losing our permit to rent our home for others to enjoy. Hence, we abide by the rules.

The house was beautiful and served all of our needs. We had three families (16 total people) and we all had ample space to move around. The views were amazing and close to Granby Ranch and Winter Park. We skied both while we were there. Close to the hot springs and Grand Lake. Overall, it was a great week!

Our enormous family had an amazing time, and it was absolutely perfect for a Thanksgiving feast! The way the house is set up - from having a table large enough to have everyone sit together, to having the bedrooms spread out which enabled all the young kids to sleep peacefully without interruption. The kitchen is extremely well appointed (seriously, you will want for nothing). Nila has truly set it up so guests can come and enjoy their stay, without any extra hassle. This is an incredible place to visit, 4 days wasn't enough!

About the host

Hosted by Nila Watterson

Host profile image
We (Russ and Nila) have been married for 53 years. We have lived in Colorado for 49 years. We have 5 children and 17 grandchildren who love to get together and play, laugh, and eat at the lodge.

Why they chose this property

We have loved and owned property in the area since 1985, and purchased the property on which the lodge sits in 1990. We have enjoyed ownership in over 1800 acres, including and adjoining the current site. We chose this site because of its unparalleled view at the end of Rocky Ridge.

What makes this property unique

Russ did all of the original design and architectural sketches, which were faithfully incorporated into the final house plans. The massive great room fireplace is constructed entirely of rock gathered from the property. The great room floor to ceiling windows allow a panoramic vista from elevation of nearly 9,000' of beautiful Byers Peak and in the Lower foreground some 5 miles away, Granby Ranch Ski Resort and Golf Course
