Tucked among the aspens with an expansive view of the mountains, this 3,100 square foot, four master bedroom, six bathroom lodge is your home away from home. The lodge is centrally located five miles outside of Fairplay Colorado in Warm Springs Ranch for quick access to Breckenridge and Buena Vista. Many guests refer to the Lodge as their "Base Camp" to explore 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. If you have to work, we have StarLink Internet for great WiFi.

Tasteful mountain-inspired décor can be found throughout this Colorado mountain home, from each of its four master bedrooms to all three of its large living areas. Hardwood floors with in-floor radiant heating and exposed log ceiling lend charm to the spacious great room area. Relax by the gorgeous two story stone fireplace or enjoy a cup of coffee on the deck while watching the sunrise over the mountains.

There are four master suites in this lodge, one on the main level with a jetted tub, and all have walk-in closets & private decks or a patio for your comfort and scenic views.
The great room boasts a two story stone fireplace with floor-to-ceiling windows offering unparalleled views of the Kenosha and Tarryall mountain ranges and Pikes Peak in the distance. You can see for miles over the aspens and the Valley of South Park.

The kitchen, with stainless steel appliances and the adjoining dining area are a chef’s and entertainer’s dream and perfectly situated to enjoy casual living and views of the mountains. The spacious kitchen is fully stocked with all kitchen utensils, dishes and cooking supplies you will need for a home away from home.

The loft is a comforting area to relax and sit by the wood burning stove and read a book or watch a movie on Direct TV or from a selection of DVD’s.

Relax after a long day hiking or skiing in our new Hot Tub! Great for Sunrise, Sunset and enjoying the spectacular stars!

For the fishermen in the group, there are five stocked private fishing ponds located on the Warm Springs Ranch that are available for you to use without a fishing license.

For the hiker, The Good Shepherd’s Lodge backs up to open space and connects to the Pike National Forest for great hiking and exploring.

For the reader, the family room has a large library of over 150 books for your reading pleasure. In fact, it you start one and can't finish it, you can take it home!

Colorado getaway for relaxation and outdoor activities
We absolutely enjoyed all aspects of our stay at the Good Shepherd's Lodge at Sheep Ridge. Mark was super responsive to all our questions, and helpful with tips on hiking etc - a very good host. The lodge was just what we were looking for, and it was in such a good setting with wonderful views from every room. We really enjoyed the bench up on the hill behind the lodge and the expansive views from up there. Fairplay is close-by and charming, with a really good grocery store. We definitely look forward to returning.

About the host

Host profile image
We lived for many years in Minnesota but always wanted to live in Colorado at some point in our lives. We now live and work in Colorado but fully enjoy our time "up on the mountain".
The pace, the beauty, the adventures that we have at The Good Shepherds Lodge help us relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. We hope that, as our guests, you feel that way as well.
