Evans while cooking on the massive 8-burner propane grill, or lounge on the patio furniture (during Summer) as you watch clouds roll over the surrounding mountains. ☀ The wrap-around deck lets you see Silver Creek from above, but feel free to walk down the rocky path where you can sit and really take in the sound of rushing water from the river-side lookout deck. ☀ Newly built private hot tub room located on the lower deck - available all-year round w/ Bluetooth speakers available to connect to while you relax. ☀ Hiking, biking, and 4-wheeler trails surround us! ☀ We have 2 fishing badges available for use at the nearby lakes - please ask if interested in using so we can pass along the local rules.

It is the best available on the mountain, but can be slower than you are used to and may be subject to interruptions on wifi/video calls & during inclement weather.

Beautiful cabin loved everything about it. Is at a higher elevation, which may be an issue for some as it was for me. Other than that, I enjoyed this stay was very nice.

Thank you so much for your visit, Richard! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay. We do want to point out that the high elevation notice is pointed out in our property description and to take your time acclimating. Other than that, we’re so glad you enjoyed your stay!
We’re Austin & Danie from Austin, TX! We love hiking the mountains, traveling around the world, and spending all the time with our two Australian shepherds.
Why they chose this property
We love this quiet, mountain retreat with incredible surrounding nature. Plenty hikes to walk, animals to watch, and views to gaze out into. It’s the first mountain town outside of Denver and super close to skiing, Red Rocks, and so many areas off the I-70
What makes this property unique
Overlook Lodge feels like home! We have it fully stocked with every little thing you can think of. Our newly-built hot tub room is enclosed, so you can easily use it all year round. The sound of the water from our private creek can be heard in the house when the windows are open, and can be enjoyed by the overhanging, lookout deck. It’s big enough (3000 sq/ft) to host a nice size group and has all the helpful touches for families with small children (baby gates, pack n go). Starlink Internet is the fastest in the mountain with speeds faster than most homes in the US. Our local management team is the best, and is always on stand-by to make guests trips a 10/10 experience.
