Just wanted to let you know that we truly enjoyed our stay at Lodge of the Rockies. The lodge was so inviting and there was so much room that we never got in each other's way(this is very important when stayng with extended family, lol!). It was in a perfect location. Nothing we did was too far away for a day trip. We enjoyed a day in Breckenridge, skied & snowboarded in Monarch, rode the cog railway in C. Springs, visited the Cliff Dwellings, even sledded on the volcanic hill. Beautiful!

I recommend this lodge to anyone looking to get away to peace and quiet and awesome views. We stayed Dec. 22, 2011 to Dec. 28, 2011, there was alot of snow, we were 7 adults and 2 kids the lodge had more than enough room for us to all spread out and have our on areas. There lodge was very well stocked with almost anything needed. The owner was more than helpful with any questions we had and I asure you we had alot. Very nice lodge and we will most certainly return.

We spent Labor Day weekend at Lodge of the Rockies with a group of friends. We rent cabins in the mountains probably 4 times per year and this was by far the best experience we've had to date. The owner was great to work with from start to finish. The cabin was very spacious, comfortable, well-appointed and spotlessly clean. We spent our days playing lots of bocce ball and horseshoes, riding around the loop on the bikes provided, watching for wildlife (there is plenty right out the windows!) and engaging in some rather aggressive foosball tournaments. The beds were extremely comfortable, the linens top-quality and the kitchen well stocked. Our group had such a wonderful time, we are talking about making it an annual thing. I highly recommend this property to any group looking for a great place to connect with each other and enjoy Colorado. You would be hard pressed to find a better place to spend your lodging dollars.

We arrived at the lodge around 7pm this evening and we are just blown away by how beautiful the house and the surroundings are. It's obvious that a lot of thought and care went into preparing the house. We just loved the lodge and can't wait for next time. NK, 9-2011

MOST WONDERFUL VACATION RETREAT WE EVER STAYED AT.

Could not have asked for more. Everything was furnished in wonderful detail and taste and was very clean and orderly. It felt just like home and we didn't want to leave. We enjoyed the wildlife, deer, rabbits, squirrels, ground squirrels and prarie dogs. So much fun to watch. We would love to come back sometime. At the time of rental we would like to have seen more pictures from inside the house but once there it didn't matter, it was so wonderful and surprising it made the anticipation worth it. We were surprised to find the owner at the rental when we arrived and he was very helpful in showing us around, how things worked and where to find things, offering us the use of some personal supplies. I would and have recommended this property to friends. Some of the fun things we enjoy when in that area are, of course, rafting on the Arkansas, exploring the old mining towns including St. Elmo, Alpine, Tin Cup and Pitkin, any of which can be found on the web. We also took a wonderful Jeep tour with High Country Jeep Tours in Buena Vista, to the top of Mount Antero.... What an absolutly awsome experience. It was a vacation of a lifetime. Everyone should be so lucky.
