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!

The stay was absolutely amazing! Such great communication from both the property managers and owners! The great communication helped us not stress about the property on top of already handling our wedding! This is amazing option to have your wedding and had so much more room than anticipated!

Perfect wedding weekend
We stayed from Thursday to Sunday! Anna helped us answer any questions we needed up to the trip! The check in and out process was so easy. The property was more beautiful in person and had everything we needed and more. We used the ceremony site for our wedding which was a dream come true. Could not recommend this stay anymore!!

Amazing property
We were all so impressed with the house and property. It was fully stocked with everything and absolutely beautiful. The house felt very spacious. We had 25 adults and it didn’t even feel like it! The fire pit outside is great and the fire on the patio is amazing also!! We can’t wait to stay here again for family reunions. I would say the only thing the house is missing is a hot tub!

Wedding getaway
We had 29 people stay here for our wedding and we even used the ceremony site and it was so amazing and beautiful the property is so pretty. We were visited by so much wild life mtn lion at night a bear 2 mornings in a row. The views from the cabin are to die for! The fact its so close to so many historic towns really add to the extra extploring you can do. I definitely want to rent with you again!

Family reunion for a celebration of life
Elevation was a little hard on us as we're all over 70 years of age, but we all loved the cabin, location and views. All slept well after the first night -- always tough when traveling. We all say: "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Great Home for a Family Reunion
This was a wonderful location for our family reunion. The accommodations were comfortable for everyone from Grandma and Grandpa, to the teenagers, down to the 1 year old baby. We loved the various living spaces for people to spread out. The acreage surrounding the house is gorgeous! This was exactly what we wanted, and we would stay here again.

Great site for family reunion
We had a fantastic stay overall. The upstairs was a little hot the first evening, but the weather cooled off for the remainder of our time and we had a blast. The cabin fit our lat large family well and we enjoyed our stay. The pool cues were not very good, but everything else was great! We had plenty of room to set up yard games, enjoyed roasting hot dogs ands s'more's in the fire pit. Loved watching deer wander through the area and hummingbirds snack outside the windows. It was a great family vacation spot.

Exceeded our expectations!
We loved this cabin!! We had a small wedding ceremony here and it was incredible. The picutres do not do it justice! The ceremony site was beautiful with the wildflowers around (which was our theme so it was perfect). We didn't even need decorations! The house was.prrfect and there was plenty of space. We will be back for sure. Highly recommend!

Family reunion
It was wonderful! This is the 3rd time we've had our bi-annual reunion there. The scenery is fabulous, with deer coming into the yard at night and in the morning. The cabin is well stocked with bedding, towels, kitchen supplies and refrigerator space. We took a short trip to the river and did some hiking from the cabin. The gas fire table on the balcony was perfect for Smores. The hummingbirds are a joy to watch. The cabin was clean and well stocked, and we hope to come back again. Communication with the property manager was fabulous as well.

Amazing for our wedding!
This cabin has so much space! It's fully stocked and beautifully decorated! The views are breathtaking, the air is fresh and just what we needed! We rented the wedding site as well for our small mountain wedding and it was absolutely perfect! Parking is limited but we shuttled guests up the driveway from the pull out at the bottom and everything went great! We hope to come back for vacations in the future!
