The house

Room for the whole crew.

Sugarloaf sleeps your whole group in five king bedrooms plus a fourth-floor loft — comfortable after a long day in the saddle or on the sled. Gather around the fire pit at night, spread out across five decks by day, and take the top-floor observation lounge for the view no hotel can sell you.

The windows

Colorado's two highest peaks, from the couch.

Mount Elbert and Mount Massive — the two tallest mountains in Colorado — fill the glass, with Turquoise Lake below and the ranch's thousand acres running out to the treeline. Sunrise on the peaks, the Milky Way at ten thousand feet, and not another light in sight.

Good to know

Questions before you book.

How many people does Sugarloaf Mountain Lodge sleep?

The lodge sleeps 10 across 5 bedrooms (all king beds) plus a fourth-floor loft with twin bunks and pull-out beds — 9 beds and 4.5 baths in 5,000 sq ft on a private 1,000-acre ranch.

Why can't I see this on Airbnb in the winter?

Because the lodge is ski, snowshoe or sled access only in the winter, we require a conversation about access before booking. If you have winter questions or want to come up, just give us a call at (512) 413-6983.

How far is the lodge from Leadville, Copper Mountain and Vail?

About 10 minutes to downtown Leadville, roughly 25 minutes to Copper Mountain, and about an hour to Vail and to Breckenridge. Denver is about two hours.

Is there an elevator?

Yes, but it is not activated for guests. The home requires that you are able to climb stairs, which are steep in places, so plan accordingly.

Can we book it for a large group or a Leadville 100 crew?

Yes. The lodge holds up to 10 guests and is popular with large groups and LT100 race crews, with parking for five or more vehicles and a pull-through in front for easy unloading.

Is there a full kitchen?

Yes. The lodge has an expansive professional kitchen with a 5-burner cooktop, oven and microwave. It is huge, with multiple islands and bars seating 6 to 8 in the kitchen and two dining tables that seat 12 more, plus additional freezers and refrigerators on the first floor for bulk storage and staging for large groups.
