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!

This was my family's sixth stay and we'll be back next year again. I can never say enough great things about this place and it just seems to get better and better with convenient additions each time. It's always very comfortable and sitting outside at the fire table cannot be beat. SO much room...too much for us, but we wouldn't want to stay anywhere else in Colorado. The host and property manager communicate perfectly and are always willing to answer questions and help when needed. This is definitely a 5-star stay if you love to relax in the mountains after either a day of fishing, or just sitting with a drink and chatting. See you in 2027!

Great house for a winter family getaway in southern Colorado! Lots of bedrooms and kitchen is fully stocked with everything you'd need to cook for a large group. Wifi could be a little faster but added to thge charm and secluded vibe. And 40 minute drive from Telluride is a must!

This was our 4th time at this property for a family reunion and we love, love, love it. We would go back again but our family now exceeds the maximum number of occupants. The scenery is gorgeous with pine trees and quaking aspens. The hummingbirds put on a show and are fun to watch. I used a Merlin bird identifier app and identified 16 different Birds.The kitchen is very well equiped with multiple refrigerators, cooking pans and baking sheets, cooking utinsels and anything you need.We did have a minor issue with the continuous water heating system as it functioned sporatically. Some people got cool showers, some warm and some hot. But the host was very responsive and had someone come to fix it the day we left. We didn't report the issue until late Friday afternoon and the remoteness of the cabin made it impossible to fix until Monday. But they did give us a very generous refund.We have made many lasting memories at this cabin and give it a 5 out of 5 rating. We highly recommend this cabin and the wonderful host.
