We have benefited from the hospitality of Gary Sprague and the Lodge at Elk Valley for a number of years. The Lodge is beautiful, the property and views are spectacular, and the presence of the Lord is there. We typically have a group of 15-20 staff members over the weekend, and find the Lodge to be well appointed for all of us to be cared for and pampered. The rooms are beautiful, the kitchen is great to do cooking and serving, and the deck all around the Lodge is all of our favorite. We appreciate the hospitality and kindness of Gary. We look forward to enjoying another staff retreat there next year!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We rented the lodge for the weekend of our wedding. Had the entire family stay in one house and then had a 75 person wedding ceremony and reception out in the field. Such a beautiful house and area! The porch is so big an accommodating that we were able to retreat inside and under the porch when it rained!Recommended for: People with disabilities, girls getaway, families with young children.

Phenominal 1st Birthday Party at The Lodge at Elk Valley!!!
Phenominal 1st Birthday Party at The Lodge at Elk Valley!!!

Gary & Louis's Lodge was the only option for a phenominal 1st Birthday party for our daughter. We hosted about 29 guests which would not have been possible without the luxurious lodge and extensive attention to details we needed for the party. The Lodge had every utensil and widget we needed to bbq and serve a complete dinner without a hitch! The owners were gracious and kind enough to see that we had everything we needed. The accomodations were beyond compare and we had enough room for all the adults to mingle while kids were entertained in the recreation room with games and a pool table. We reccomend this location to everyone with any inclination to host a retreat or vacation in a location thats easy to reach in the shadows of Pikes Peak and freeway close to the Front Range. Thanks again! Eric & LaurieRecommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers, people with disabilities, families with teenagers, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with young children.

My daugher's wedding couldn't have been in a more beautiful and perfectly suited place. The house absolutely fit our needs for cooking and created a fun environement for creativity and connection. We had the wedding to the north of the house in the Aspens and it was glorious. Many people said they'd never been to such a touching ceremony. Then we had plenty of room to play games, hike, and just lay around. In our busy world, this sanctuary offered people the chance to stop, relax, and truly enjoy nature and each other. I would and have been highly recommending it to my friends and colleagues. Thank you, thank you, thank you:)Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, girls getaway, families with young children.

An absolutely beautiful, comfortable, very well equipped lodge able to accommodate more than 20 people. A marvelous view of Pike's Peak, rustic, but luxurious furnishings, wi-fi and a huge barbecue. We recommend the Lodge without reservation for family reunions, retreats, weddings, business groups, training sessions, any event looking for an inspiring location, comfortable accommodations, and all the amenities. Right behind Pike's Peak, close to a number of state parks, countless hiking, biking trails, lakes, the old mountain gold mining towns and casinos, and beautiful, above the clouds scenery for all the sightseeing and fun anyone would want. The pictures are accurate. The Lodge is a great place. We have been there many times, and always enjoyed the stays. Plenty of good local restaurants, but also a complete, well-equipped kitchen and a huge table under an elk horn chandelier for large means--and of course, a barbecue for outdoor meals. Just a great place for any group.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children.

Our bridge group gets together annually for a long weekend to play bridge and see the local sights. This year we had 12 of us and the lodge worked out great for a group that size. The location is absolutely amazing with views of Pikes Peak and open ranch land. Loved the pine log table that could seat all 12 at once. Plenty of rockers to sit out on the deck and enjoy the Colorado weather. Lots to do in the area with Cripple Creek, Florissant Beds, and Woodland Park. Highly recommend the Thin Air melodrama production in Cripple Creek.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, girls getaway, families with young children.

I've hosted two parties at this location. This is a beautiful, large log built lodge with great Southwestern decorating. Plenty of room, full kitchen, large grill outside, game room downstairs, bikes and outdoor equipment to use. Large flat screen with projector media to play video games and movies. Bonfire pit outside. This property is on a large tract of land with no neighbors around. Exceptionally quiet and peaceful. The staff will take great care of your party if you stay overnight. Perfect for wedding parties or retreats. Thsi place is modern and up to date. You won't be disappointed!Recommended for: Age 55+, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, girls getaway, romantic getaway.

Our family with 22 members had a wonderful time at the Elk Mountain Lodge. It was perfect for our needs, a big kitchen and large table, lots of space, private bathrooms and plenty of space for food! The beds were so comfortable, the lodge was decorated in a warm and welcoming way. Everything was clean and in good working order. Gary met us to do a walk through and left us on our own. We all enjoyed the stay and look forward to coming back again!Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, girls getaway, families with young children.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2006
About the owner: Gary & Lois Sprague are the innkeepers of the Lodge at Elk Valley. They have 5 children (ages 21 to 12). Gary has directed a non-profit organization for 20 years that benefits single parents and non-nuclear families. He is a social worker and an ordained minister. He enjoys running in the National Forest (across the street from the Lodge) with his 2 dogs and going to Broncos football games. Lois is a free-lance artist and illustrator. She paints in several mediums for several different applications: Illustration • Oil • Pastel Watercolor• Graphite/Wash • Charcoal • Portraits. Her paintings can be seen in many local galleries along with almost every room at the Lodge. She enjoys her family and friends and always has a smile on her face.
Why the Owner Chose Divide:
The Pikes Peak region is beautiful and peaceful at the same time. At over 9000 feet, you truly are 'in the mountains.' We decided to move to this area so that we could live in the mountains instead of just look at them. The people in Teller County are friendly and believe that living here is one of life's best kept secrets. Pikes Peak itself is majestic and the views that you get driving from Colorado Springs around the mountain to Divide are some of the best in Colorado. The outdoor activities in the Pikes Peak region attracted us to visit and then we fell in love with the area.
The Unique Benefits at this Lodge:
The Lodge at Elk Valley has become very special to all who stay here. When not being rented out, we use this facility as our headquarters for our ministry with single parents and non-nuclear families. Many events have given opportunity for peace, hope, comfort and healing. The facility is amazing! Our rental guests will truly 'Find their Quiet' as they wake up every morning to the views of Pikes Peak and the wildlife on the property. Our Lodge becomes a place of rest, reflection and refocus for our guests. You will return home changed from your stay at the Lodge at Elk Valley.
