Pioneer Retreat at Moose Lodge is a unique grand timber standalone log A-Frame with an energy all its own. Designed with post and beam architecture, this mountain escape was constructed with enormous logs that will leave you in awe. Gaze out at the most amazing panoramic mountain vista views & Immerse yourself in nature & all that the Rockies have to offer just steps from your front door. Indulge your senses with in-house spa amenities & experience a deeper sense of connection to nature, family & friends. Pioneer Retreat is a playground for adults and kids. Sitting proud on a large treed lot, the views from the deck and from the inside living spaces will take your breath away. Outside features include a fire ring/pit for those looking for a more rustic camping experience. Sit around the fire on the large benches and tell stories as the sun sets on the mountain. For kids, the on-site teepee will provide hours of entertainment. There are options for dinners including a large patio table, a picnic table in the yard by the fire pit, or a more traditional dinner inside in the large expansive dining area with optional seating at the over-sized kitchen island. After dinner hop in the hot tub or in-house infrared sauna, enjoy a glass of wine while star gazing on the deck or private balcony off of the upstairs bedroom, or sink into “Big Red”, the comfy oversized red chair in the loft and read a book or stare out the huge windows and take in the mountain vista views. The large wood stove provides a cozy atmosphere to play board games, put together puzzles, or just relax and reconnect while the heated floors provide warmth with radiant heating throughout the house. The sleeping spaces are set up for maximum privacy with a primary bedroom with KIng bed, large walk-in closet, blackout shades, TV, and en-suite with jetted tub on the same level as the main living spaces (living room, kitchen, dining room, and laundry). Upstairs you are greeted by a large spacious loft, and a small hideaway nook for a little one to curl up away from activities. The queen bedroom next to the loft is perfect for those who want to sit and enjoy a morning coffee on the private balcony or work remotely with privacy using the desk/chair provided. The large log constructed bed adds character to the room and is incredibly comfortable. Access is provided to the attached bathroom with oversized tub and infrared sauna to soothe those aching muscles after hiking or skiing. On the same level. you will find the “Fortress” a bunk bed room that has a Harry Potter vibe with 6 heavy wood constructed built in bunkbeds each with it’s own reading light. You won’t find this anywhere else and the design is genius for providing privacy for sleeping and yet perfect for play time with the toys and games provided. This room also has it’s own TV. Please note that one of the bunk beds is a child size space. As an alternative there is an adult size floor mattress behind the chair in the loft if needed. On the lower level (also the entry level) Thidwick the big-hearted moose welcomes you. If you don’t know his story, during your stay you can read his book by Dr. Seuss. On this level you will find more entertainment with a TV, Foosball table, and queen sleeper sofa. Next to the TV room is a separate guest bedroom and full bathroom. This is a separate entertainment area to kick back in the comfy sofa and loveseat and watch a family movie. There’s something for everyone at Pioneer Retreat.
