- "A great place for vacation and to get away. A bit far from my work." - "the host, property, and location were excellent !" - "Great stay and will return"

This cabin is the real-deal mountain experience—no frills, just fresh air, towering trees, private 45 acres, and a rich history that started with zero humans (yep, it was just the bears and birds for a while). Once a wild, untamed retreat, it’s now the ultimate getaway for families, reunions, weddings, and just about any excuse to celebrate. With a backstory worthy of a campfire tale, this place doesn’t just host memories—it helps make them legendary.

Welcome to Storm Peak Lodge –This lodge spreads its cozy charm across three spacious floors, each with its own personality—and plenty of room to snooze, sprawl, and sneak off for some peace and quiet. Up on the top floor, you’ll find the crown jewel: the main master suite, complete with a private bathroom, a patio perfect for your morning coffee (or evening wine), and views that might just convince you to move in permanently. Two more bedrooms share a classic Jack and Jill bathroom—perfect for kids, cousins, or anyone who enjoys the thrill of a shared sink. The main floor is the heart of the home, with the kitchen, main living area, and another set of two bedrooms connected by—you guessed it—another Jack and Jill bathroom. It’s ideal for families who love staying close... but not too close. And then there’s the basement: part hangout zone, part bunkhouse, part indoor adventure. It features a pool table for some friendly competition, a second master suite for VIP guests (or very tired parents), and a super-sized room that can sleep seven. Yes, seven. It’s practically its own sleepover kingdom.

The lodge features four comfy bedrooms plus a bunk room in the basement that’s perfect for kids or anyone young at heart. Need even more snooze space? The loft and basement have queen pull-out beds—ideal for extra guests or surprise tagalongs. Curl up in the cozy living room, stream your favorite series with WiFi (yes, even here!), or do a little laundry while pretending you're roughing it.

Sitting on a jaw-dropping 45-acre lot that cozies up to the San Juan National Forest in Wildcat Canyon, this place is adventure-ready year-round. It doubles as the perfect spot to slow down, unwind and breathe in that fresh mountain air that smells faintly of pine and freedom. In summer and fall, it moonlights as a working ranch with mules and horses hanging out just behind the lodge, along with wranglers and guides living their best ranch life. The property is a scenic playground with rolling hills, shady woods, creek and river frontage, and meandering trails that practically beg for boots and bikes.

Looking for something to do? From hunting to hiking, skiing to sledding, fishing to family reunions, this place does it all. Hosting a wedding or big event? You're in luck—we can sleep 30+ in the main lodge alone, and over 50 guests when both lodges are rented. Just drop us a line to chat about our event accommodations and fees—we promise we’re nice.

And let’s not forget: Storm Peak Lodge is proudly off-grid and powered by solar. That means guilt-free hot showers and eco-conscious vibes all around. Being off-grid and tucked away in a secluded corner of the canyon, our lodge offers guests a front-row seat to nature in all her unfiltered glory. You’ll trade city lights for starlit skies, and traffic noise for birdsong, rustling leaves, and the occasional curious critter.

This is the real deal—an unplugged, boots-on-the-ground experience for folks who aren’t afraid of a little dirt, a few hoofprints, or maybe sharing their morning coffee with a mule in the distance. It’s not luxury in the traditional sense—it’s luxury for the soul.

If you’re the kind of person who greets mud with a grin and sees pine needles as confetti from the forest, then welcome. Mother Nature’s been expecting you.

When you're ready to explore, Telluride and Mountain Village are just 30 miles north—perfect for skiing, golfing, shopping, or catching a ride on the free gondola (yes, it’s really free!). Head 20 miles south to Dolores for lake days at McPhee Reservoir, or venture a bit further to Cortez for Mesa Verde, the Four Corners Monument, and some of the best biking this side of the Rockies. Want to make a day of it? Take a scenic drive to Durango (70 miles) for ziplining, museums, and the iconic Narrow Gauge Railroad.

Bottom line: Whether you're here to relax, celebrate, have a legendary game of hide-and-seek in the woods, or go full-on mountain explorer, Storm Peak Lodge is ready to welcome you with open arms, fresh air, and maybe a friendly mule or two.

Any bookings from October - March must have a 4x4 or off road vehicle to access the property. We love love and hosting weddings as well as other private events! Please inquire for additional fees and costs that come with those types of bookings.

**** New building has been added to the front of the property for Outfitter Lease in the fall, it is still under construction and pictures will be updated upon completion. Please inquire for reference images ****

- "If you're looking for a mountain stay that's away from the city and off the grid with no cell service, this is the spot for you! The property is absolutely gorgeous and isolated. Even with it being right next to a highway, we weren't bothered by any passing vehicles. The property also borders national park land, so you can basically go wherever you want! Mark made the check-in process painless and easy. He took the time to show us where everything was and also how to use the backup generator just in case of emergency since the house is run completely on solar energy. The driveway and parking area were all cleared out and we had zero issues with access to the property even with several feet of snow on the ground. Mark made sure there was plenty of firewood for the whole weekend and he even called a locksmith for me when I ended up locking my keys in my truck. 1000/10 would recommend this property and would absolutely stay here again. We are already talking about coming back sometime during the summer so we can explore more of the property when there's not a lot of snow on the ground."

- "Second time here within 2 months thanks to the beauty I feel 100%." - "We stayed here for a weekend since it was down the road (15 mins) from my cousins wedding. We had a wonderful time. We could hear the elk bugling at night and in the am a little bit. The view of Lone Cone is stunning and my favorite tree is the Aspen so I was literally in heaven here. We had everything we needed and a few little extras were also provided by the host, what a treat! A few teenage kitties running around made my dog go crazy but they are very friendly.

- "This was a great location for us to visit Telluride and Mesa Verde." - "Beautiful area! On the river in mountains yet close enough to Dolores, Cortez, Durango and Telluride. The Dolores Market is a small grocery store in town but has everything you will need. Coming from South Texas we love good Mexican food and it is hard to find when traveling but MITequila in Dolores was very good. Taking the drive to visit and shop Telluride, Ouray then Silverton was amazing. The house has all amenities plus more than we expected. Very well equipped. Clean and comfortable beds. Plenty of linens. We did travel with our beagles and there is a dog sitter we found in Dolores on Rover.com named Ashley for the time we couldn’t have them come to our activities. She was great!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us."

We had a glitch when checking in ( with the cleaning) and the owner was extremely responsive, took care of it ASAP, and gave us a bit of a refund for the inconvenience.

Great base to return to after a day of seeing some amazing sites. Cozy, well supplied, and comfortable. " - "We absolutely loved staying here! We had a great amount of space and access to so many amenities. The host was super and we loved our privacy. The location was good for us, too!" - "We liked that there was no pet limit.

- "One of the best cabins we have ever stayed in with VRBO. It was exceptionally clean and well appointed. The view from the large window with snow on the ground and the large Xmas tree, made this extra special. The owner was easy to work with and ensured we had everything we needed. The drive from the cabin to Telluride was about one hour with some spectacular views along the way. We would definitely stay here again." - "We had a great time at this beautiful Riverside cabin! The pictures are accurate to reality. The cabin was very clean and spacious. There are several charming gathering places outside the cabin, a firepit area, a riverside sitting area, a riverside swing, and a dining table. The cabin is just steps from the river and there is a beautiful hiking trail just down the way as well. We highly recommend this listing! "

- "Just what we needed, beds, hot shower, and close to our hunting grounds. Only problem we had was the oven stopped working so we had to use other means of cooking but made due. One recommendation would be to remove some clutter for more room throughout the cabin. Thanks for working with us on dropping g our stuff off early so we could go scout. We will be calling back next year but maybe requesting the bigger cabin." - "Super clean, well stocked, well maintained and perfect for families with children. Adorable camp style loft and game area. The listing had no reviews when we booked and the details of the listing were a little sparse so we didn’t know what to expect. It greatly greatly exceeded our expectations. We’ve stayed in many rentals over the years and this one was one of the best!"

Relax with the whole family at this peaceful river front cabin. Fishing, Hunting, Tubing, Skiing or just simply Relaxing in the Colorado beauty. Our cabin is on a 1.5 acre piece of land, you should have ample parking, also the cabin is in the middle of the San Juan National Forest .

The scenery was just gorgeous, the kitchen was a great size and was stocked with all the necessities, and the outdoor porch had plenty of seating for our group. We had a blast!" - "Beautiful location!

This cabin is the real-deal mountain experience—no frills, just fresh air, towering trees, private 45 acres, and a rich history that started with zero humans (yep, it was just the bears and birds for a while). Once a wild, untamed retreat, it’s now the ultimate getaway for families, reunions, weddings, and just about any excuse to celebrate. With a backstory worthy of a campfire tale, this place doesn’t just host memories—it helps make them legendary.

Welcome to Storm Peak Lodge – your ticket to mountain mischief and memories that smell like campfires and sound like laughter echoing through the trees. A large slice of high-country heaven nestled in the northern space of Dolores. This OFF GRID 5-bedroom retreat offers all the peace and quiet your soul’s been craving—with just enough space to bring the whole crew along. Whether you're traveling with family, friends, or your entire hiking club, there's room to stretch out, unwind, and feel right at home.

The lodge features four comfy bedrooms plus a bunk room in the basement that’s perfect for kids or anyone young at heart. Need even more snooze space? The loft and basement have queen pull-out beds—ideal for extra guests or surprise tagalongs. Curl up in the cozy living room, stream your favorite series with WiFi (yes, even here!), or do a little laundry while pretending you're roughing it.

Sitting on a jaw-dropping 45-acre lot that cozies up to the San Juan National Forest in Wildcat Canyon, this place is adventure-ready year-round. It doubles as the perfect spot to slow down, unwind and breathe in that fresh mountain air that smells faintly of pine and freedom. In summer and fall, it moonlights as a working ranch with mules and horses hanging out just behind the lodge, along with wranglers and guides living their best ranch life. The property is a scenic playground with rolling hills, shady woods, creek and river frontage, and meandering trails that practically beg for boots and bikes.

Looking for something to do? From hunting to hiking, skiing to sledding, fishing to family reunions, this place does it all. Hosting a wedding or big event? You're in luck—we can sleep 30+ in the main lodge alone, and over 50 guests when both lodges are rented. Just drop us a line to chat about our event accommodations and fees—we promise we’re nice.

And let’s not forget: Storm Peak Lodge is proudly off-grid and powered by solar. That means guilt-free hot showers and eco-conscious vibes all around. Being off-grid and tucked away in a secluded corner of the canyon, our lodge offers guests a front-row seat to nature in all her unfiltered glory. You’ll trade city lights for starlit skies, and traffic noise for birdsong, rustling leaves, and the occasional curious critter.

This is the real deal—an unplugged, boots-on-the-ground experience for folks who aren’t afraid of a little dirt, a few hoofprints, or maybe sharing their morning coffee with a mule in the distance. It’s not luxury in the traditional sense—it’s luxury for the soul.

If you’re the kind of person who greets mud with a grin and sees pine needles as confetti from the forest, then welcome. Mother Nature’s been expecting you.

When you're ready to explore, Telluride and Mountain Village are just 30 miles north—perfect for skiing, golfing, shopping, or catching a ride on the free gondola (yes, it’s really free!). Head 20 miles south to Dolores for lake days at McPhee Reservoir, or venture a bit further to Cortez for Mesa Verde, the Four Corners Monument, and some of the best biking this side of the Rockies. Want to make a day of it? Take a scenic drive to Durango (70 miles) for ziplining, museums, and the iconic Narrow Gauge Railroad.

This cabin is the real-deal mountain experience—no frills, just fresh air, towering trees, private 45 acres, and a rich history that started with zero humans (yep, it was just the bears and birds for a while). Once a wild, untamed retreat, it’s now the ultimate getaway for families, reunions, weddings, and just about any excuse to celebrate with the ability to host over 30 guests. Having a backstory worthy of a campfire tale, this place doesn’t just host memories—it helps make them legendary.

The space
Welcome to Storm Peak Lodge – your ticket to mountain mischief and memories that smell like campfires and sound like laughter echoing through the trees. A large slice of high-country heaven nestled in the northern space of Dolores. This OFF GRID 7-bedroom retreat offers all the peace and quiet your soul’s been craving because your cell phone won’t have reception, you’ll officially be off duty—with plenty of space to bring the whole crew along. Whether you're traveling with family, friends, or your entire hiking club, there's room to stretch out, unwind, and feel right at home.This lodge spreads its cozy charm across three spacious floors, each with its own personality—and plenty of room to snooze, sprawl, and sneak off for some peace and quiet.

Up on the top floor, you’ll find the crown jewel: the main master suite, complete with a private bathroom, a patio perfect for your morning coffee (or evening wine), and views that might just convince you to move in permanently. Two more bedrooms share a classic Jack and Jill bathroom—perfect for kids, cousins, or anyone who enjoys the thrill of a shared sink.

The main floor is the heart of the home, with the kitchen, main living area, dining table and another set of two bedrooms connected by—you guessed it—another Jack and Jill bathroom. It’s ideal for families who love staying close... but not too close.

And then there’s the basement: part hangout zone, part bunkhouse, part indoor adventure. It features a pool table for some friendly competition, a second master suite for VIP guests (or very tired parents), and a super-sized room that can sleep seven. It’s practically its own sleepover kingdom.

Sitting on a jaw-dropping 45-acre lot that cozies up to the San Juan National Forest in Wildcat Canyon, this place is adventure-ready year-round. It doubles as the perfect spot to slow down, unwind and breathe in that fresh mountain air that smells faintly of pine and freedom. In summer and fall, it moonlights as a working ranch with mules and horses hanging out just behind the lodge, along with wranglers and guides living their best ranch life. The property is a scenic playground with rolling hills, shady woods, creek and river frontage, and meandering trails that practically beg for boots and bikes.

Looking for something to do? From hunting to hiking, skiing to sledding, fishing to family reunions, this place does it all. Hosting a wedding or big event? You're in luck—we can sleep 30+ in the main lodge alone, and over 50 guests when both lodges are rented. Just drop us a line to chat about our event accommodations and fees—we promise we’re nice. We love love and hosting weddings as well as other private events! Please inquire for additional fees and costs that come with those types of bookings!

And let’s not forget: Storm Peak Lodge is proudly off-grid and powered by solar. That means guilt-free hot showers and eco-conscious vibes all around. Being off-grid and tucked away in a secluded corner of the canyon, our lodge offers guests a front-row seat to nature in all her unfiltered glory. You’ll trade city lights for starlit skies, and traffic noise for birdsong, rustling leaves, and the occasional curious critter.

This is the real deal—an unplugged, boots-on-the-ground experience for folks who aren’t afraid of a little dirt, a few hoofprints, or maybe sharing their morning coffee with a mule in the distance. It’s not luxury in the traditional sense—it’s luxury for the soul.

If you’re the kind of person who greets mud with a grin and sees pine needles as confetti from the forest, then welcome. Mother Nature’s been expecting you.

When you're ready to explore, Telluride and Mountain Village are just 30 miles north—perfect for skiing, golfing, shopping, or catching a ride on the free gondola (yes, it’s really free!). Head 20 miles south to Dolores for lake days at McPhee Reservoir, or venture a bit further to Cortez for Mesa Verde, the Four Corners Monument, and some of the best biking this side of the Rockies. Want to make a day of it? Take a scenic drive to Durango (70 miles) for ziplining, museums, and the iconic Narrow Gauge Railroad.

Bottom line: Whether you're here to relax, celebrate, have a legendary game of hide-and-seek in the woods, or go full-on mountain explorer, Storm Peak Lodge is ready to welcome you with open arms, fresh air, and maybe a friendly mule or two.
