Page 1 - Photo Tour of Peaceful Valley Lodge

The Peaceful Valley Lodge cabin is situated on 2 acres on the side of a steep, tree covered slope. There are no other cabins visible from the cabin, just mountains, water, trees and blue sky. The design uses a unique round exterior that requires no center support within the building. The exterior is solid wood cedar siding with six huge picture windows that slide open to let the fresh mountain air in. The first floor doors enters into the den where you will find the ski storage and two "bunk rooms" for the kids and couples. A spiral oak stairway leads from the lower recreation area to the upper level living area. An exterior stairway leads to the deck and upper floor entry way and to the main living area and master bedroom suite.

As you enter the upper floor, you are welcomed into the bright and spacious main living area that includes the living room, dining room, kitchen and breakfast bar. The vaulted ceiling and six large picture windows ensure you a feeling of light and openness. The massive, 3-recliner Lazy-Boy sectional couch wraps around a wood burning stove and all six seats provide tree and mountain views.

No, that is not a picture on the wall next to the dining room table. That is the view of 14,000+ foot Mount Lincoln that you will enjoy as you eat your own home cooked meals that you prepare in the cabin's gourmet kitchen. Imaging waking up to bacon, eggs and the sun rising on that gorgeous mountain everyday! The table expands large enough to accommodate 10 people, perfect for dining or playing games.

From the Lazy-Boy recliner in the living room you can stretch out and gaze upon the beauty of Colorado's spectacular scenery. The view is awesome in both the summer and winter, and no matter what season you will love the feeling of peace and relaxation that will fill you when surrounded by the magnificence of nature. Warning: the Lazy-Boy can be very difficult to escape from, especially in the evening when the wood burning stove has lulled you into a complete state of total relaxation.

The kitchen is extra large to handle the usual flow of people filling coffee, getting snacks and pouring beverages. The cabinets are fully stocked with wares for cooking and place-settings for 10 for dining. Included is a large crockpot so dinner will be waiting for you when you return from your mountain adventures. We stock the kitchen with basic staples such as coffee, salt, sugar and some condiments.

You will rest in comfort in the king-sized bed located in the master bedroom. There is pleny of room to settle in with a full dresser and a walk-in closet. The private bath has a full tub/shower and a separate vanity/dressing area. The master overlooks the forest where you will be amazed at how quiet and dark the night becomes.

Each of the two bedrooms on the first floor has a combination bunk bed and futon sofa. The futon folds flat into a double bed. To minimize contention for the bathroom, each bedroom has its own sink, running water, mirror and vanity area. There is a shared bathroom with shower between the two bedrooms. The futon mattresses are the highest quality available to ensure a restful nights sleep.
