About this property

Exclusive Family Luxury Mountaintop Lodge on 43 acres

BYERS PEAK LODGE

Byers Peak Lodge sits atop a rocky, wooded ridge on 43 acres, adjoining 1300 acres of open space, just 4 miles east of Granby, Colorado. This magnificent, 5 bedroom, 7 bath, 5000 square foot, custom log home is a masterpiece of Colorado mountain architecture. Completed in 2002, the Lodge provides numerous amenities.

For a virtual tour of our home, please use your browser to find "The Seasons at Byers Peak Lodge".

Custom rock fireplaces grace the great room on the main level and the entertainment room on the lower walkout level. The fireplace in the great room features two 6000-pound, lichen-encrusted boulders taken from a cliff on the property. One of these massive boulders is a natural replica of Byers Peak, the 12800 ft. , snow-capped peak oriented directly in the center of the Lodge’s panoramic great room windows. The Lodge’s unobstructed views are unparalleled in Grand County.

The dining area is designed for gatherings of friends and family, with a wide, family-style table and adjoining bar and stools. The kitchen features a refrigerator, two conventional ovens, a microwave, a vented cooking range, two dishwashers, and two disposals. For outdoor cooking with a view, the Lodge offers a deluxe, stainless steel, gas grill, located on the main-level deck, which wraps around 3 sides of the home. Or, for those not inclined to cook, restaurants in every price range are abundant in Granby, Winter Park, and Grand Lake.

Each of the five bedrooms features handcrafted, natural aspen log beds. Adjoining bathrooms offer jacuzzi tubs; separate, seated showers with handrails; sink and toilet. Also in each suite or adjoining hall we have washers and dryers (4 sets total) for your after ski laundry necessities.

The entertainment room, quietly isolated on the bottom walkout level, provides the latest in LG Smart TV technology. Guests can choose from a variety of apps on the 86" TV while relaxing on reclining leather sofas, loveseats, and beanbags.

This home is family friendly: there are 2 dishwashers, 2 ovens, 4 washers and dryers, and 2 fireplaces.

We are a non-smoking, no animal home, due to the allergies of family members and many of our guests.

We regret that we are no longer able to host events at Byers Peak Lodge that include day guests who are not actually staying at the lodge. A few unfortunate past experiences prompted this decision out of respect for the peace and privacy of our neighbors.

Wonderful mountain Getaway
In 2017, my husband and I got married here with our immediate family. It was perfect for our family of 10 and the views were amazing. We decided on a snowy Christmas this year with our children and were thrilled to find out that Byers Peak was available. The house is still just as amazing as it was almost 8 years ago. Nila was so kind and even decorated the house with a stunning tree! This house has everything you need. We had the best Christmas and loved using the fire pit most evenings! This is a wonderful gem of a place!

Family Gathering
Perfect location and space for our large family. Plenty of space to spread out, most families had individual rooms and bathrooms (that was wonderful!) Ages in our group ranged from 63 - 4. Lots of activies in the surrounding area for the kids to ski/snowboard, snowmobiling, hiking, snowshoing and exploring. Having the washers and dryers and 2 dishwashers was wonderful. Our family cooked together, played games, had a Gingerbread house making competion and used tubes to go sleding.It had snowed 3 nights in a row prior to us arriving and the plow truck driver hadn't plowed due to a break down. Made a call to Nila and she answered promptly and was able to get ahold of the plow truck driver. We did drive in with our AWD vehicles but the snow was deep and one of our daughters who arrived first slide off to the side of the road and had to be dug out. They had a shovel in their vehicle and the wonderful neighbors all pitched in to get them out. We are from Rural WIsconsin, so we had a couple shovels in our vehicles and are used to snow.Also we were able to see fireworks from Granby! Good time was had by all!BD

Great location in Granby
We planned a big group golf weekend and this place is great. Great location to get to multiple golf courses and an awesome place to go back to after 36 holes on the course. The house was clean, beautiful and working with the owners was great. Very helpful and great communication. I highly recommend this listing.

Spectacular Lodge Home
Our stay at Byers Peak Lodge exceeded our expectations. The privately situated home has incredible views from the wrap around deck. Its spacious and beautifully appointed interior can comfortably house a large family gathering or vacation. Too many amenities to list and easy, prompt communication with Nila, the home owner. 100% recommend and can’t wait for an occasion to return.

Wonderful Lodge!
Great place with Amazing Views! The whole family loved our stay here. The cabin was clean, the place is beautifully decorated, and the location is great, just a few minutes ride gets you to Granby, or the Lake. Furthermore, Nila answered all the questions we had leading up and during our stay. There's nothing bad to say about our experience. It was worth every penny and we'd definitely stay again the next time we take a trip to the area.

Spring break 2024
Great trip! Beautiful cabin! AMAZING views! The kids and adults alike had fun sledding on the hill out front and building snow forts. The weather was even perfect for grilling off the back deck. It was wonderful having bathrooms and washer/dryers for each bedroom and even better having plenty of hot water when several of the bathrooms or machines were being used at one time. We did encounter the mice but they didn’t bother our group. Would definitely stay here again.

Spectacular Lodge in Granby
Our family had a wonderful time in the Byer’s Peak Lodge. Absolutely beautiful home with plenty of space both inside and out for everyone to enjoy. Comfortable accommodations in each of the rooms; the beds were cozy and the jetted tubs were so relaxing after a long day on the slopes. The individual washers and dryers made keeping things organized easy. The kitchen and dining room were spacious and offered us the opportunity to all sit and enjoy meals together as a group. Our family loved the game room and all the space to wander outside and explore; we had a great time sledding right in front of the lodge. The fireplace is impressive and the decorated Christmas tree gave our stay that special Colorado magic. So many memories made! Truly a special home. Thank you to our host.

Beautiful Property, Beautiful Area
We had a great stay at Byers Peak Lodge for a weekend running retreat. We're a group of 12 men, and the home offered plenty of space, plenty of beds, plenty of views, and plenty of bathrooms. The home is gorgeous, with a sprawling deck overlooking a valley and stunning stone fireplace to complement the logs throughout. The kitchen has everything you need. We'd love to go back.

Fantastic Trip
Byers Peak Lodge is simply breathtaking!! Our daughter was married in Granby and this lodge was perfect for our family as it was located above the venue. Our family thoroughly enjoyed this well equipped and beautifully decorated home during our trip. The attention to detail given to us left no questions and Nila was extremely easy to work with. I would highly recommend this lodge to any group traveling to the Granby area!!

Our stay was nothing short of amazing at Byers Peak Lodge. The house and the views were immaculate! We really enjoyed being able cook with our entire family and have the ability to sit down as one big group to eat. The kids loved playing air hockey and ping pong in the garage there was plenty of room for each guest to be comfortable in their own space. The cabin allowed for our big group to disconnect and enjoy each others company. We cannot wait to return to this beautiful cabin.

Amazing spot for a group!
We had a small intimate wedding here and it was perfect. So much room for everyone to have their own space, and absolutely everything we could hope for in the house to cook, play games, and of course enjoy the incredible views and area of the lodge. Host was communicative and very helpful to our questions as we managed some planning. And logistics. Best VRBO I’ve stayed at so far.

Excellent set-up for large parties
This house is very well equipped. The five bedrooms are all en suite, and there are two other sleeping areas (theatre room and loft area). The kitchen has lots of staples, including two dishwashers. There are two pack-n-plays, one high chair, four (!) washers and dryers. Really everything one could desire. But, there were also mice. This is probably inevitable given the country/mountain location, and for most of us it was fine. But beware if any of your party are squeamish. Nothing gross, we just saw them run under furniture at times.

About the host

Hosted by Nila Watterson

Host profile image
We (Russ and Nila) have been married for 53 years. We have lived in Colorado for 49 years. We have 5 children and 17 grandchildren who love to get together and play, laugh, and eat at the lodge.

Why they chose this property

We have loved and owned property in the area since 1985, and purchased the property on which the lodge sits in 1990. We have enjoyed ownership in over 1800 acres, including and adjoining the current site. We chose this site because of its unparalleled view at the end of Rocky Ridge.

What makes this property unique

Russ did all of the original design and architectural sketches, which were faithfully incorporated into the final house plans. The massive great room fireplace is constructed entirely of rock gathered from the property. The great room floor to ceiling windows allow a panoramic vista from elevation of nearly 9,000' of beautiful Byers Peak and in the Lower foreground some 5 miles away, Granby Ranch Ski Resort and Golf Course
