About this property
Sunlit Lodge on the Elk River with Water Access & Firepit - Great for Fishing
You and your guests will live like country royalty in this 4BR/5BA (plus spacious loft) retreat. Airy sunlit rooms afford relaxation, privacy, and majestic views. Outside, the sprawling property features private access to both banks of the Elk River. A fly fishing paradise.

ABOUT THE HOUSE
From the expansive great room to the wraparound deck, you and your guests have plenty of room to gather together or find a quiet haven for solo time.
A river rock wood-burning fireplace, wrought iron chandelier, cozy couch, and several armchairs make the living room the perfect space for pre-dinner hors doeuvres or curling up with a good book. Vaulted ceilings soar, and large windows bring in natural light and frame mountain views. A screened porch serves as a breezy second living room.
Cook in the classic kitchen, detailed with hardwood floors, a double sink, and a spacious breakfast bar with six stools. Special meals deserve the window-lined dining room, where a table seats 14 beneath a rustic chandelier. A wet bar off the kitchen will inspire your best cocktails and fresh lemonade. The bathroom on this floor has a shower and a spacious mirrored vanity.
Peaceful, ultra-cozy bedrooms feature lots of pillows and crisp linens. On the main floor, the master bedroom features a king bed and en-suite bathroom with a shower. The second bedroom has a king bed on an ornate metal frame, exposed beams, access to the back deck, and a 50” TV.
Upstairs, the third bedroom has a king bed, seating nook, and a 40” TV, while the fourth room is furnished with a queen bed plus a log-frame twin-over-twin bunk bed. The bathroom on this floor boasts a double vanity and a shower.
The loft has four queen beds and two additional twin trundles. This spectacular space has vaulted ceilings, a central seating area ideal for an evening card game, and a 50” flat-screen TV. Feel the breeze and see the sights on your private balcony; enjoy the comfort of an en-suite bath with a stone-floor rain shower.
Explore the meadows, on-site pond, or relax by the river. Serve lunch on the huge wraparound deck, where theres a dining table, additional seating, and unforgettable Colorado vistas. The fire pit beckons you to gather around for campfire songs and starlit conversation.
