About this property

The Lodge at Poncha Springs - Manager Apt

  • Phenomenally situated and charming motor Lodge nestled in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. The Lodge offers cozy and affordable rooms with friendly service. The property is distinctly walkable offering restaurants, trails, wineries, markets and even a brewery within walking distance. Be lazy in the delightful garden courtyard, gaze at the stars by the firepit or sleep soundly in the region's most comfortable beds. Enjoy the Lodge at the Poncha Springs where adventure and cozy collide!
    The Bird's Nest is a divinely cozy little bungalow that sleeps as many as eight. It is perfect for families, groups of friends, ski groups, hunters, etc. It comes with a lovely living area, with a flat screen TV, a dining area and a full kitchen. The bungalow offers two bedrooms. One bedroom sleeps up to 5 on both a bunk bed with a full size bed and a twin and another bunk bed with two twin size beds. The second bedroom sleeps up to two in a queen bed and it's own personal air conditioner. Step outside via the backdoor and you will find yourself creek side as our property has a running creek that runs through it. The bungalow comes complete with a creek side gas grill and seating area. Adjacent to the garden courtyard, you can enjoy that as well and sit by the fire pit or enjoy your breakfast from the Flamingo outside with our families of birds and butterflies. The bungalow requires a two night stay. We do sometimes make an exception and rent for one night (if schedule allows) with an additional cleaning fee, so feel free to enquire about that if can only stay for one night. You will love the Bird's Nest, it is the perfect getaway nest for your group!

Cute, cozy, updated, would stay again

Cute decor, nicely updated, and great hosts. The private patio next to the stream was good. Blankets were soft and cozy. Shared fire pit and back yard were a nice feature. Bunk beds were a little firm for the adults in our group, but fine for the kids. The kitchen had everything we needed and the coffee was delicious. Location was convenient and we would stay here again.

The perfect Poncha place!

I can sum up our stay by saying now that we’re home, we wish we were back. Dawn and Jimmy are THE nicest people. They made sure we had everything we needed including beer! Out of all the VRBOs we’ve been to over the years, this was our favorite. They had great recommendations for things to do and places to eat or have a beverage. We highly recommend staying here.
