Taylor River Lodge: Best Winter in Colorado Retreat

About the property

The Danes may have invented the concept of hygge, but we have perfected it here in the mountains of Colorado. Taylor River Lodge provides an extraordinary setting for experiencing the best winter in Colorado. In the winter months, a fresh blanket of snow covers the Taylor Canyon, and the lodge is transformed into a tranquil, winter oasis.

The lodge’s secluded and wild location offers a prime backdrop for outdoor adventures of all types, ranging from snowshoeing to nordic skiing. Days can be filled with high-energy, winter excursions or relaxing wellness treatments, while evenings at the lodge are punctuated by locally inspired cuisine and s’mores around the fireplace.

Taylor River Lodge, like all of our off-the-grid hideouts, is intimate in size and located in a remote and remarkable corner of the world. The property’s location in a secluded Colorado canyon makes it an ideal spot to unplug and recharge. The lodge can be accessed via commercial or private flights into nearby Gunnison and is within driving distance from many of the surrounding states. The property is the perfect setting for a small, private gathering of family and friends. An added bonus is that guests never have to leave the lodge unless they choose to do so.

The safety and health of our guests and employees has always been a priority for us here at Eleven®.
