Lookout Lodge - A Rocky Mountain Getaway with Views: only 1.5 hours from Denver

“Lookout Lodge” is a wonderful place to unwind, relax, and recharge. The floor to ceiling windows in the great room, paired with its open concept, creates a comfortable, connected, and luxurious feel. Outfitted with custom log furniture, beautiful hardwood floors and ceilings, and stunning views, you will quickly discover why we call this special cabin “Lookout Lodge”.

Built in 2020, the cabin is practically brand new and has modern amenities. With stainless steel kitchen appliances, a beautiful gas fireplace, wireless internet, a smart lock for contactless entry and exit, and installed Amazon Firestick 4K for streaming, you are sure to feel right at home.

The beds have new, fresh linens and the bathroom is stocked with new, fresh towels. The kitchen is fully equipped with a dishwasher, a drip coffee maker, a mini Keurig coffee maker, an electric tea kettle, microwave, toaster, crockpot, handheld blender, and all your basic cooking needs. Our kitchen table comfortably seats 6 and we have an abundance of glassware, silverware, and stemware.

In the family room, you can kick up your feet in comfy chairs or the cozy loveseat. The family room has a flat screen TV and DVD player with movies supplied. Additionally, we provide cards, card games, coloring items and cribbage.

Our finished upper level, with 2 bedrooms and the bathroom, is just over 1000 sq. ft. and the unfinished entry level is just under 1000 sq. ft. There is a king size bed and queen size bed on the main living level and the ground floor has an additional king size bed. The entry level offers space for relaxation and play with air hockey, an activity table and 4 chairs, games, and a handcrafted practice putting green with golf balls and putters.

While you can savor gorgeous views from almost all windows, getting outside to soak in the scenery is easy with access to the spacious deck from the ground or main living area. The deck is equipped with a picnic table, benches, 6 Adirondack chairs and 2 kid size Adirondacks. The deck is also accessible from the primary bedroom. This cabin perches on just over an acre of land so you have space to throw frisbees, run, play, and enjoy the fresh mountain air.

Whether you are working remotely, vacationing for an extended time, or searching for a beautiful change of scenery, Lookout Lodge is ideal for that needed "recharge" the mountain lifestyle has to offer. So, get off the beaten path and let the solitude and grandeur of the surroundings inspire you!

When staying at our cabin, you are close to many fun activities and opportunities for adventures including: hiking, fishing (3 Gold Medal rivers), skiing, horseback riding, mountain biking, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, hunting (national forest), and excellent photo opps!

Nearby places and activities include, but are not limited to the following:

The cabin is gorgeous and in a beautiful location, however I messaged the owners after our stay about a pair of glasses that were left behind and never got a reply. Poor communication

Fantastic property in a beautiful location. Had a great stay and wish we had more time. Terrific location just far enough away from everything to feel mostly secluded, but close enough to amenities to be practical.

Lookout Lodge Review
Lookout Lodge is very beautiful cabin. If you are looking for a remote setting, this would be the place. It is a bit further out than expected and what the listing provided. Everything you needed for accommodations was there. However, it quite uncomfortable for sleeping and with lack of windows and curtains for the afternoon sun, it was extremely hot.

Beautiful Stay near Fairplay
This property is so lovely. Lots of extra convenient items were included, like coffee, spices and some toiletries. They also included games and puzzles. There was a badger living right off that back deck that we saw around dusk both evenings we stayed. We also saw quite a few deer. I also recommend making a stop at the ghost town in Fairplay. The photos do not do the view justice. Overall, wonderful stay and a beautiful property.

This was a great place to stay. The cabin was very clean and had all the necessary items for our stay. The location is far driving distance to all our touring activities; however, was a very nice and quiet place to come back to each night.

You will not regret this VRBO
We have not stayed at any vacation rental that had the views that this home had! We did not want to leave. You could see"14ers" from the living room couch and the Poncha Pass range from the dining room. Unbelievable!!! And that isn't even including the night sky! It looked like you could reach the Big Dipper from the deck. If you looked straight up, there was the Milky Way. Just sit on the deck with a cup of Hot Chocolate (also included) at 3am and be amazed!! The home had everything you would need or want. From the well equipped kitchen (crock pot, pots and pans galore, Keurig and Cuisinart coffee pot, toaster and very nice serving dishes, to name a few.) The linens were plush and new and the dishes and glasses were spotless. We had wonderful weather - 40's at night and 70's during the day. If the weather is rainy, there is a table full of games in the basement, along with air hockey and a putting green!! We can't say enough great things about this home.

My wife and I stayed at the Lookout Lodge- A Rocky Mountain Getaway for one week from April 13 to April 20, 2024. Lookout Lodge is a great place to relax and enjoy the panoramic views of the mountains. Total peace and serenity. If you are looking for a place to escape from it all, this location is it.

Beautiful Cabin - breath taking views!
Check in was easy. Place was well kept. Beds were a bit hard but the pillows were comfy. Kitchen had everything we needed, just don’t use the stove and oven at the same time lol. In the mornings the sunshine was a bit intense, but as long as you have sunglasses you should be good. Overall it was a relaxing stay! We will be back in the fall.

Beatiful Fall break!
We all enjoyed the stay! Comfortable and newer place with all you need. The local trail was great and we also recommend Black Powder Pass Summit if you are up for a little drive and a little longer hike. The Fairplay grocery store was great, combined it with the hike. The hosts are very accommodating and quick to reply with any questions, Thank you!

In a year or two this cabin will be Top Of The Line, from the inside. The drive up to the cabin is a bit rough about 20-30 mins of dirt road as long as you're not leaving every day it's no problem. Cabin was very clean and many small things are thought of amazing hosts.
