10/10 Excellent
"This is a “hidden gem” just one mile west of Hwy 40, in the gap between Winter Park and Granby. The lodge I stayed in had a jaw dropping view facing east and south. There was an LP fire pit, separate grills (also LP) and a playground. A few steps behind my wing of the lodge. The Dining Hall was a 5-minute walk on the other side of the access road. Breakfast is a buffet with something for everyone. I plan on returning in the winter and trying cross-country skiing. This off-season stay was convenient to a client visit in Granby. Highly recommend."
