About this property

Secluded mountain retreat

Aspen View Lodge offers the perfect mountain getaway. Your Colorado retreat begins at this 8 bedroom, 3.5-bathroom vacation rental home in an adventure lover’s paradise - the Dolores River Valley. With 4,500 square feet of living space, this home base is perfect for group retreats and events, or just to escape with friends and family. Situated on nearly 8 acres bordering the San Juan National Forest, this is an ideal base camp to explore the Southwest. Located minutes from hiking, ATVing, 4x4 trails, biking, fishing, and hunting, this place has it all! Nearby Cortez and Telluride! Just across the road from the Dolores River! Ideal for family reunions and weddings. The arch and benches shown in the pictures is a beautiful area to hold a ceremony. We do have an additional fee to hold an event on our property. Our lodge can sleep 26. We are centrally located between Cortez and Telluride offering a wide variety of restaurants, shopping, museums, National Parks and skiing. Only 20 minutes from McPhee Reservoir, one of the largest bodies of water in Colorado!

Though easily accessible from Highway 145, this cabin is nestled in the woods and has a very private feel. Imagine exploring thousands of acres of national forest directly from the property, filled with pine, oak, spruce, aspen and abounding with wildlife. Watch the Dolores River wind through the valley. Fish on the river or hike up one of many nearby trails. Take a day trip to Telluride and enjoy the free Gondola in one of Colorado's most pristine alpine mountain towns (40 min away). Take another day trip to some of the best preserved ancient native american ruins in North America at Mesa Verde National Park (45 min away). Or just enjoy the mountain air and relax in a quintessential Colorado setting at the cabin.

Please be prepared, if you are coming in the winter, for snowy and icy road conditions. We have a very long, steep and narrow driveway. Four wheel drive and/or heavy duty chains are required if you are coming in the winter in order to make it up our driveway. If you have at least one four wheel drive vehicle in your group, you can use that as a shuttle and park the rest of your vehicles down below. Thanks for your understanding, we don't want you to get stuck!

About the host

Host profile image
We have lived in Colorado Springs since 2012 and are raising our 6 children in the beautiful Cheyenne Mountain area. As of 2019, our children range from 15 years old to 1 year old. Neither of us are native to Colorado, my wife is from Minnesota and I hail from Arizona. We are thrilled to be able to settle in Colorado, and call it home.

Why they chose this property

We love the beautiful, private setting. You truly feel that you have the mountains to yourselves when staying at this property. Southwest Colorado is a perfect place for our family cabin because it is centrally located as a gathering place for our extended family in Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. We purchased this property because it would be a getaway large enough to accommodate our family in the future as our children grow and start families of their own. The San Juan Mountains are our favorite mountain range in Colorado. We love the isolation and beauty of the San Juans, and the close accessibility to all the amazing variety that the West has to offer. Towering mountain peaks (Telluride, Lizard Head Pass), canyons (Moab), ancient native American ruins (Mesa Verde), breathtaking rivers (Dolores), skiing and countless festivals (Telluride, Durango) are all a short drive away, and you can enjoy it all far from the chaos of the front range and other major cities.
