Secluded Dark Sky Mountain Retreat, Hot Tub, Big Kitchen, A/C, Playroom, Views

TimberStar Lodge is your perfect home base to relax, recharge, and make lasting memories with family and friends in the heart of Colorado! Just 10 minutes from the town of Florissant, but tucked away on 4 acres on a quiet cul-de-sac, you're close to town but feel worlds away.

Built in 2022, this roomy 2,000 sq ft single-level home is the epitome of comfort and connection. With an open-concept design, it’s perfect for joyful gatherings with loved ones or enjoying the solitude with your significant other.

Savor nature while relaxing on your expansive deck, complete with a hot tub, BBQ, and a private front yard fire pit—ideal for cozy nights under the brilliant stars.

Inside, the spacious, fully-equipped kitchen invites culinary adventures, while two relaxing living rooms, three beautiful bedrooms, a versatile den/playroom/bedroom, and two luxurious baths, all with soaring 9' ceilings ensure there’s room for everyone to spread out.

You decide the temperature with the thermostat and air conditioning remote controls. Ceiling and room fans help keep everyone comfortable.

Just FYI, as hosts/owners, we have over 300 5-star reviews on Another Big Booking site. Our cleaning fee is purposefully low so you only pay for what you use!

Though TimberStar Lodge was thoughtfully designed with our grandkids in mind—featuring plenty of toys, books, movies, and a thrilling outdoor rope swing—we haven’t forgotten the magic of a mountain retreat for two. This lodge is the perfect escape for couples looking to reconnect and rekindle. The primary suite, with its heavenly king-sized log bed, sets the stage for exciting nights, while the luxurious bath invites couples to indulge in a truly unforgettable experience. Step into the oversized shower, where you can share intimate moments in complete serenity. Or take a nature bath together by meandering through the forest of pines and aspens and breathing the fresh, Rocky Mountain air.

Located in the “Banana Belt” of the Colorado Rockies, Florissant enjoys more moderate temperatures than some of our other mountain towns. We rarely get more than a few inches of snow in the winter and temps tend to hover in the 70’s and 80’s in the summer, although Mother Nature has been known to throw us an occasional curve ball! So, we have extra heaters and blankets in the chilly months and wall-mounted air conditioning in the warmer months. You get to control your comfort! And don't forget, the South Platte river is just minutes away for a cool float in the (4) tubes we provide. Want to ski? Just 1 hr. 20 minutes from Breckenridge Ski Resort!

Florissant Fossil Beds is just a 15-minute drive yet far enough away from light pollution to provide dark, star-filled skies. From the park, it is possible to see the Milky Way, other galaxies, star clusters, nebulae, planets, comets, and much more.
In 2021, Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument received certification as an International Dark Sky Park from the International Dark Sky Association (IDSA).

Please note: There is absolutely no smoking of any kind inside the house and no fires of any kind allowed, which means no outdoor candles, bonfires, campfires or fireworks. We do have a propane fire pit you can use year round. Smoking is allowed on the back deck or on the front porch but please be extra responsible and use the provided ashtray. We are in a high fire danger zone.

Due to the owner's pet allergies, we do not allow pets at TimberStar Lodge. Please inquire before bringing a service animal. We also do not use scented cleaning products.

Our driveway is rather steep. If rain or snow is expected, please park in the upper parking area, even if you have 4-wheel drive. If you park in the lower parking and you get stuck, you will be responsible for getting yourself out. We do everything we can to keep the path clear, but it's Colorado.
