What to bring: Sunglasses, sunscreen, cameras, water bottles, gloves, snow & ski or rafting clothing, boots, and good socks. See local winter and summer outfitters to round out your gear. Ambiance and amiability increased using an element of the Interior items enhance connection to local frontier area (we anticipate guests want to connect to local lodge and outdoor ambiance for their getaway visit and therefore do not adhere to KonMari austere influences). We're at ~9,000 ft. - so take some time to acclimate to less oxygen in atmosphere and consult your doctor prior to travel for recommendations on this topic for each arriving person in your group (Ex.: you may want to arrive with supplemental oxygen bottles if unexpected needs arise, and any additional doctor recommended measures - particularly for those in your group that may have less than optimal health profiles, including not bringing those guests with health risk profiles that a doctor would not recommend to attend). Enjoy the high country, thanks for taking care of the place & thanks for staying at Lodge of the Rockies LLC - 9000 feet above average!!

Wonderful Week in Colorado
This place has everything we are looking for in a quiet Colorado vacation in August. During the day we hiked the trails, explored nearby towns, watched the wildlife (deer, pronghorn, birds). In the evenings we either ate in town or cooked in the well equipped kitchen. The night skies are so dark that we could even see the Milky Way. We plan be back again next year.

Heartsel cabin getaway
Great cabin with lots of room. Great views from front porch. Everything the listing stated and more.Quiet neighborhood with excellent star gazing at night. Slightly farther to Buena Vista and other attractions but manageable. Road to cabin a little rough. Would stay here again as positives far exceed any negatives.
