Best Views in Park County! Ski at Breck!

Elk Valley Lodge has been a popular get away for guests for many years. Relax on the bench swing with close up views of four 14'ers and the Platte River, enjoy the unforgettable sunsets and sunrises, and if your timing is right, enjoy herds of elk and an occasional moose! As a bonus, its just one minute off of Hwy 9, for easy access especially in the winter.

Our guests have their own tastefully decorated, expansive lower level lock-off apartment. From 10-foot ceilings to views of the 14'ers from your couch and bedrooms, you will get a awe inspiring and relaxing experience that you won't forget.

Many guests view this as their "Base Camp" for exploring the Rockies. There is a definite warmth and welcoming feeling to this special home and area that will help you get away from the busyness of your daily life.

Are you looking to travel but still have to work? We have high speed internet and desk set up for easy work away from home.

My friend and I enjoyed our stay. The home was quite comfortable and had all the amenities for a pleasant visit to range land Colorado. We explored Fairplay and even returned to Denver via Hwy 285. Our trip was mostly about the Ski areas but it was nice to visit other aspects of Colorado.

Awesome property and Host
Beautiful property and I can’t say enough good things about Mark (host) who went above and beyond to help me and my family during a difficult time that shortened our trip. A big thanks to the neighbor that came over and helped us during a winter storm. Over all just a great experience. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks Mark!

Spacious and clean place to stay!
The space had all of the amenities to make a family vacation enjoyable. The full kitchen allowed us to make dinner and breakfast. The living room had ample seating for my son to curl in a corner playing games, my daughter and I to lounge and read, and my husband to enjoy watching tv. The two bathrooms were nice for getting ready and cleaning up after a day of skiing. The location was close to FairPlay for groceries and easy access to Breck while being quiet and away from traffic. We enjoyed o it stay and highly recommend.

Excellent location and wonderful accommodations!
The location had convenient access to Alma and Fairplay areas which held a lot of jeep trails we wanted to explore. The accommodations were perfect with a view of the mountains, decorated in Colorado cabin style and had everything we needed in a home away from home. Information about the area was also incredibly helpful and made our trip even more enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again!
