There are only 56 guest rooms at the Lodge and four types, all of which are spacious and welcoming.

Most rooms have wood-burning fireplaces and terraces with spectacular views of the sweeping Rocky Mountains. And all rooms are decorated in hues of deep sage and Colorado red rock and guests sleep on 300-thread-count Egyptian linens.

While the 450-square-feet lodge rooms feature elegant mountain décor, the slightly larger and equally luxurious mountain view rooms also have a balcony or patio. Most rooms have outstanding views of the Rocky Mountains.

Then there are the gorgeous Cordillera suites that inspire relaxation and tranquility with tumble-stone floors and glass-window master baths, so expansive, that there is usually a waiting list to book the room. Some suites have Jacuzzi tubs as well. All include spacious living rooms with a balcony or patio.

Finally, there is the loft suite, which boasts larger-than-life views with its cathedral ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows
