Description
Set on 32 acres along the Frying Pan River, Beyul Retreat is a forested haven in a wild Colorado mountain valley.
We share this place with foxes, elk, black bears, hawks, eagles, and trout. Surrounded by the red rock of the river valley, the retreat is nestled in groves of Colorado blue spruce, Aspen and Douglas fir trees. The extensive property has both welcoming gathering spaces and private corners for solitude.
At 8300 ft, our mountain ecology means changing magic throughout the seasons: a blanket of pristine deep Rocky Mountain powder in the winter, the sweet green emergence of spring, the glory of summer among the peaks, and a fireworks show of glowing hues in the fall.
The retreat is surrounded by the White River National Forest, which creates privacy and access for backcountry skiing, hiking, backpacking, and hunting. It’s 26 miles up from the confluence with the Roaring Fork, just five minutes beyond Ruedi Reservoir, a beautiful 1,100-acre lake where you can enjoy sailing, water skiing, windsurfing, kayaking, and fishing. World-class mountain-biking, climbing, paragliding and skiing are within a short drive.
Our 15 cabins range in size, with options from a two-story home that sleeps 12 to our four historic studio cabins. You’re sure to find one perfect for your stay.
In the main lodge, we have 7 guest rooms, two of which have ensuite bathrooms.
