About this property
The Blue Engineer (#515) |Near Ski - Golf/Pool/Hot Tub/AC - End Unit Views
Unwind in comfort and style at The Blue Engineer, one of the largest and most inviting condos in the Lodge at Tamarron Resort (Lodge Suite #515). Nestled on the top floor and north end of the Lodge building—same building with the heated pool, hot tub, and fitness center—this spacious mountain retreat offers stunning views of iconic Engineer Mountain.
This beautifully appointed 2-bedroom + loft, 2-bath condo blends mountain charm with modern convenience. The full kitchen is stocked with all the appliances and cookware you need to feel right at home. Gather in the cozy living area, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping mountain vistas and an electric fireplace adds a touch of warmth to chilly evenings.
The main level features two comfortable bedrooms: a serene King suite with breathtaking views of Engineer Mountain, and a welcoming Double bedroom perfect for guests or kids. Upstairs, a charming loft with two Twin beds provides a cozy nook for younger travelers or extra friends. Additional amenities include a washer/dryer and high-speed Wi-Fi (100+ Mbps), making this retreat as practical as it is peaceful.
Whether you're soaking in alpine views or heading out to explore the San Juan Mountains, The Blue Engineer offers the perfect base for your Colorado advent
