    Cheese sticks and Root beer float.
    Anna B.

    We had a paddle boarding day, and rented one for the day, the manager was amazing. On the way home, he remembered us and asked how it was. So he was very friendly. We ordered fried cheese sticks and a root beer float. And they were yummy! Totally worth the price. When we come back, we will be renting from them again, and this time eat lunch there/buy lunch and bring it down to the lake.

    My wife and I visited Grand Mesa Lodge for the first time recently and really enjoyed our time there! The location was very convenient right off of Highway 65 with plenty of free parking. We were welcomed upon entering the main lodge, the outside and inside of the lodge building was pleasingly decorated, the employee in charge was friendly and laid back, helpful, and very patient with us as we decided on our supper choices and found our table, the lodge was clean, neat, did not smell bad, the fireplace had a nice warm fire going with several comfortable chairs and a couch in front of it, the dining room was spacious, there were several delicious choices for supper (we ordered a Hawaiian pizza!), there were many alcohol choices, snacks, a well-stocked side room with many essentials for campers, hunters, etc., big windows on one whole side of the lodge that afforded nice views of the beautiful Grand Mesa mountains. You've gotta check this unique place out!

    Grand Mesa XC skiing - right near the Lodge!

    Stayed here for a XC winter ski weekend with my brother and two teenage daughters. Be prepared the cabins are VERY rustic, pretty funky and old. And in the winter even with four wheel drive getting to the cabins and getting out can be tricky. While we were there we had some heavy snow and it too until midday before they were able to plow so we were all snowed in for a good part of the day. The staff were all very friendly and responsive and the main lodge with a simple cafe for dinner was very nice. Also be aware - no cell phone service and no WiFi. The XC skiing on Grand Mesa is fantastic and there are not many options. So if you are coming here in the winter just be aware of what to expect.

    Stayed here with a friend for a little weekend getaway and had a great time! Despite the late May snowstorm, we enjoyed a some of the outdoors but really just had fun hanging out in and around our cabin. The cabin was cozy and clean, with full kitchens so we could just bring up groceries and cook for the weekend! The cabin was warm even though it was below freezing outside, and it had a fire ring outside that we spent an entire afternoon around. The people in the lodge who run the bar/kitchen and the front desk were SO friendly and happy to answer our questions. I'm looking forward to coming back for another weekend getaway, it was a blast!

    Had the best time here with our family. Staff was great. Scott and Conor went out of their way to make all of our needs were met. Can't wait to go back!

    Had a nice stay at Grand Mesa Lodge for three nights at the end of July in Cabin 2. Some friends stayed in Cabins 4 and 6 at the same time as I did, so I got to see inside those cabins as well. Cabin 2 is definitely "cozy". Narrow staircase going up and need to be careful to not hit your head. There is a small bathroom for the toilet and an old shower, but the sink is outside the bathroom in the living area. There was a full size fridge, coffeemaker with filters, dish soap and dish towels. Because of Covid, they were requiring us to bring our own blankets, but they had pillows and sheets on the beds. Not the most comfy beds, but the sheets were very clean and smelled fresh. The towels were also clean and fresh, but my boyfriend didn't like that the bathroom towels were stored right by the toilet. Cabin 4 had an odd bathroom situation... There is no sink designated for the bathroom, so you have to wash your hands in the kitchen sink. There is a bed right in the middle of the living area, so you have to walk all the way around every time. However, this seemed to be the most updated of the three cabins I saw. Cabin 6 had a typical bathroom situation, with a bathtub. This was definitely the roomiest of the three cabins and had the largest cooking area. We decided to head out on the lake and rented a canoe and the rowboat. Tip: Do not go for the rowboat, even though it accommodates more people. It's a heavy metal rowboat that is incredibly hard to paddle. We didn't try the kayaks, but that probably would have been a better choice to just get a couple of those instead. The little store is very limited in groceries. Basically don't expect anything more than hot dogs and some buns meal-wise. Same with the restaurant... not much to choose from, but nice place to sit and have a snack or drink. So plan on taking advantage of the fact the cabins have fridges and bring up all the treats you want to enjoy while there. The kitchen is well stocked with all you need to cook and serve meals. There is a charcoal bbq outside too when fires are allowed. Overall it was a fun visit and I definitely recommend it if you are looking for a cabin vacation. Remember, it's at 10k elevation, so be prepared for that if you get elevation sickness!

    My husband and I spent two nights at this lodge with our adult children and our 50 pound dog and had a great relaxing weekend. In cabin 12. The view is fabulous, the hosts are very friendly and the rustic cabins are just what we were looking for as a compromise between a hotel and a campground. They have recently remodeled their lodge and it has a full service bar with snacks, mini mart with gift shop and a back balcony that has a great view of Island Laka.

    This place is amazing! The owners are super nice people. The cabins are rustic but comfortable and have everything you need. We had a great time snowshoeing, cross country skiing, sledding and snowmobiling. There was so much snow, it was pretty incredible. The lodge practices good Covid precautions, everyone was masked, tables blocked off and spaced apart. We felt comfortable grabbing a couple of drinks at the lodge while we waited to take our food Togo. Really good homemade pizzas. We will definitely be back!

    I moved here from Texas and once I discovered Grand Mesa Lodge, I was hooked and each year I make a point to stay there. The people that work there are so friendly and make me feel at home. The views and activities are spectacular. Me and my son love it!

And what a booming town this little hamlet used to be. And that is why you should tour Redstone Castle. You need to buy your tour ticket in town. Give yourself another 10 minutes to drive up to the castle, park, and get over to the castle. But it isn't really a castle. No moat. No drawbridge. No turrets or towers. It's just a big house. And considering I live in Boston Metrowest - I have friends who live in larger, more ornate, tackier houses. Most of the first floor of the house has been kept in "original" condition. But since the castle has been operated as a bed and breakfast or inn by previous owners, all of the bedrooms have been updated. No telling if there is any resemblance to the original. Also, most of the furniture is NOT the original stuff, so again not sure if any of the stuff is even period pieces. It is still cool to walk around. And imagine living there 100 years ago. It's really about the coal, not the castle.

I called on a Saturday afternoon for a Tuesday morning ride, and they were able to accommodate us. Since it was the slow season and a weekday, availability was better. However, weekends tend to book up quickly, even during the off-season, so I recommend calling several days in advance. You won't receive an email confirmation, so be sure to make note of your reservation time. If you forget, you can always call and confirm it they are very friendly and happy to help. We chose the one hour ride, which was perfect for a first time rider like me. While it would have been nice to ride through the aspen grove, we're saving that for our next visit. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and the views were amazing. My 11 year old daughter, who has a little riding experience, also had a fantastic time. Our guide was supportive, informative, and engaging. She shared interesting information about the local wildflowers, mountain peaks, and the surrounding area, which made the ride even more enjoyable. Helmets are available on site and are optional. One tip: be sure to wear plenty of sunscreen and bring a cap or hat. There is limited shade on the trail, and the sun can be quite strong, especially at higher elevations. Overall, it was a very fun experience, and we're already looking forward to returning to try the one and half hour tour next time.

If you do enjoy hiking, there are several trails to choose from as well. One thing we really appreciated was that the park is pet-friendly. Dogs are allowed on all overlooks and on select trails, which are clearly marked, making it easy to plan your visit if you're traveling with a pet. The park has a visitor center, restrooms, and drinking water fountains, but they do not sell bottled water, so be sure to bring plenty with you--especially during the summer. Many of the trails are fairly short, but there is very little shade, so you'll be in direct sunlight for much of your visit. We visited shortly after a wildfire, so there were some burned trees and shrubs throughout the park. Even so, the scenery was still incredibly beautiful and well worth the trip. If you don't have an America the Beautiful National Parks Pass, admission is $30 per vehicle. Overall, this is a fantastic park with breathtaking views, whether you're stopping at the overlooks or spending the day hiking.

It's further out west in Colorado so it takes a bit of effort to find yourself here but you will be rewarded if you venture out west. First of all this part of Colorado is gorgeous and a bit less traveled so you'll have more space to yourself which is lovely. The canyon itself is incredible. It reminded me a lot of the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone if you've ever seen that. We did several smaller hikes around the rim as we had little kids in tow. Be sure to hold onto those small hands as I was pretty nervous about them falling in since it's just a big ol' drop around the edges. All that being said, this is a great park and I'd love to return sometimes without kids or when the kids are older to do one of the bigger hikes.
