Grand Mesa Lodge
When you visit Cedaredge, you can expect to be totally in tune with nature. The Grand Mesa Lodge is the type of accommodation that enriches that experience. Tucked a little farther away from the main downtown, you can “unwind, unplug, and reconnect,” as you experience the cabin lifestyle on this “island lake.”
Being in Grand Mesa, the largest flattop mountain in the world, you get to explore the highlights of that 500 square miles of wilderness just a couple of steps from your cabin door. The property has 14 rustic cabins (or a 1-bedroom suite located in the island lake). If you’re planning your trip here, you better book at least two months ahead of time to make sure you have a slot.
There’s also a reason why the Grand Mesa Lodge is a much-coveted location. This cultural icon has been popular “from NASA to Hawaii,” and has served generations of families, hunters, and travelers in their journey to seek a “primordial experience.”
The cabin structures have been around since the 1930s, and have been refurbished with a couple of modern touches. Current owners Mike and Rose Wenner noted how important it is to preserve the cabins because it’s part of history. You can even find the old “avocado green rotary phone”, which is still functioning up to this day.
Though the cabins are old, the Grand Mesa Lodge treats safety with the utmost importance. They have worked with Delta SnoKrusers Snowmobile Club and even NASA during their explorations in the snow.
As for the accommodation, the 14 cabins all have a fully-equipped kitchen with utensils, cookware, a coffeemaker, a microwave, and an oven toaster. No need to go outside if you have brought all your groceries with you before you arrive. The bathrooms are also packed with the necessary amenities. There’s a campfire ring, a picnic table, and a charcoal grill included in each cabin.
To make sure you have the cabin that fits your preference (maybe it’s to have the “best lake view” or to get the “large flat treed outdoor area”), check out the details of the cabin during your booking. They specify the general views and features of each cabin to make sure you get the exact features you need for your stay.
