My mom, my two huskies, and I stayed at Arrowhead Mountain Lodge for just one night, but it was such a wonderful experience that we’re already planning to go back. The lodge is quiet, peaceful, and perfectly tucked away off the beaten path. If you’re looking for a getaway surrounded by gorgeous scenery, fresh mountain air, and the chance to see wildlife right outside your window, this is the place. The staff was welcoming, and the atmosphere made us feel right at home. The restaurant was a real highlight — absolutely delicious food, and my compliments go out to the chef and the entire team for an outstanding dining experience. Traveling with dogs can sometimes be stressful, but the lodge made it easy and comfortable for us and our huskies. They loved it just as much as we did! I highly recommend Arrowhead Mountain Lodge to anyone looking for a quiet retreat in nature with top-notch hospitality. It’s the perfect spot to relax, recharge, and enjoy the beauty of Colorado.

I love this lodge! The only thing I will complain about is their hours are spotty. You never know if they'll be open or not. But we checked in late and no one was there so they put an envelope with our name on the door with our things for the room and instructions! I love that! The room was beautiful! Soft lighting, country feel, and omg the best bed and pillows ever! Slept like a baby! The bed was a super soft memory foam! We slept in a king suite. Our family has a property up there but it was full and our honeymoon so we stayed at the lodge. Great choice!

We had such an incredible stay last week. It started with a warm welcome and a thoughtfully decorated themed room. The Lodge is super cozy inside and out. There are games in the lobby for cold/rainy nights. The outdoors had a stage for music, plenty of fire pits, tables and lawn games for the inviting space. For Breakfast there was a nice selection. The rooms were clean, cozy and comfortable. Our night was quiet and peaceful. Consider it for your next stay.

We stayed in the Horse room & we loved it! Its was so cute & clean & cozy! You can tell everyone that works at the hotel & restaurant take a lot of pride in their work, the woman that checked us in was so sweet & welcoming. It was a really well done spot, I wish we were there for the live music & taco bar- next time! It has a colorado mountain feel without being gaudy & tacky. I'm so glad we chose to stay here, we will definitely be back
