Photos and Description of the Fort Collins vacation house rental 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, sleeps 6 (preferred) to 11 (maximum)

Elk Lodge Guest House offers privacy, incredible Colorado mountain scenery and wildlife viewing. The Lodge is rustic , modern and FULLY equipped - from cooking utensils, to linens - all you need to bring is a sense of adventure. Soak in the outdoor hot tub, relax in the sauna, hang out on the deck in an oversize hammock. The house has a rustic feel, yet has all the modern conveniences. Custom wood-work is throughout. It is on a secluded 123 acre parcel at an elevation of 7000 feet and is surrounded by forests and mountains. The views from the 1000 square feet of deck are spectacular! You can hike and bike from the front door and will likely encounter wildlife - deer, elk, bobcats, mountain lions, bears, foxes and wild turkeys! Please note that it is an adventure to drive up here - the last 3 1/2 miles are on winding mountain dirt road.

Notes: The road leading to the lodge includes 3 1/2 miles of bumpy, winding dirt road which is steep in sections. An SUV is best for getting up here, although people do drive street cars up in the summer. A higher clearance 4 wheel drive vehicle is recommended. Once up here, access into the Lodge is fairly easy - there is only one step to get onto the deck and from there you can enter the front door or the side patio doors. The deck is spacious and has great views, so a person with limited mobility or in a wheelchair could make good use of the outside environment on the deck. The terraine around the Lodge is rocky and steep in some areas.- great for hiking and mountain biking.

Further details for this vacation house rental in Fort Collins, Colorado

Unique Setting: Elk Lodge is a one of a kind place. You can get to Fort Collins, a thriving College town, in about 35 minutes, yet you feel like you are in the wilderness. It has been called 'the closest far-away place from civilization'. The drive up is an adventure in itself - the last 3 plus miles are on mountain dirt road. The whole experience is unique. If you are looking for a 'Mariott' or 'Hilton' vacation - this is not for you. We are off the beaten path and on the road less traveled. Once you are here, the Lodge will pamper you with saunas, hot tub soaks, comfortable beds, a fully equipped kitchen and all the amenities of home, but it still has that cabin in the wooods feeling.

Phone provided with free long distance: We have high speed internet at the Lodge and are able to provide an internet phone with unlimited long distance calls within the US. This is free of charge.
