SkyLodge: A Unique Lake House
Welcome to SkyLodge! Situated on a private lake at 10,300' above sea level, this updated cabin is your quiet, romantic and cozy home away from home. Whether you're visiting for outdoor activities; an escape from the city; or just to get lost in a good book, we want to give you a special place to stay that has been specifically curated not to feel like your typical Airbnb.
The space Feel worlds away in a cozy lake side cabin ideal for a secluded family getaway or a romantic couple’s retreat. This cabin provides a quiet and private waterfront location combined with all the amenities needed for a relaxing high-alpine getaway.
If you’re feeling adventurous a 2-person kayak, 2 paddle boards, snow shoes, and fishing equipment is available for use. You can embark on a hike to year-round snow at St. Mary’s Glacier, the trailhead is only a 10 minute walk from the front door. After days outside, return to enjoy warm meals made in the well-equipped kitchen and nights in front of the wood-burning stove.

Guest access You will have full access to all spaces in the cabin. The space is yours while you're there. SkyLodge and its patio is for you to enjoy and is completely private. That being said, please be respectful and considerate of noise after 10pm. The washer/dryer, fishing equipment and life vests are all located downstairs in the basement. The 2-person kayak and stand up paddle boards are located on the premises on the way to the lake.
Other things to note Due to excessive winter snow, the lake may not be accessible until late spring/early summer.
4-wheel or all-wheel-drive vehicles (ideally with snow tires or cables/chains) are necessary to navigate to the property in heavy winter conditions. It is recommended to book a rental car through ‘TURO’ where you can request and be sure your vehicle will be equipped with snow tires.
The loft upstairs is accessible via a ladder/stairs. It isn't ideal for very young or elderly guests.
SkyLodge has limited cell service, but we've never had a problem making calls or sending messages.
Access to SkyLodge is only by stairs.
