Sorry! No pets are allowed to stay at the lodge.

Be aware that we have limited cell service at the lodge, though phones with WiFi calling should work, and we provide a landline for guest use.

Sky Mountain Lodge was designed and built to be a “passive solar” house, meaning that the main source of heat is the sun! The secondary heat source is the wood stove; which when running regularly, heats the whole house quite well. That said, guests may not want to maintain a fire during their stay. So we’ve provided several individual space heaters for night time use and cloudy days.

The lodge is located at 8,300 feet above sea level and altitude sickness is a possibility at this elevation.

We are in bear country! Please do not leave food in your vehicles overnight and be sure to lock car doors; our bears have learned how to open them :)

The WiFi is reliable high speed DSL.

The lodge is supplied with a reverse osmosis system in the kitchen so the water is absolutely fine to drink, no bottled water needed!

We are on a septic system and we ask that guests please NOT put anything other than the toilet paper provided into the toilet. This includes “flushable” wet wipes, they are NOT septic safe. We provide flip top lidded trash receptacles in the bathrooms to place sanitary products, wet wipes etc.

Due to bears, we do not have outside trash storage, so if you fill a bag please place it in the extra trash bins in pantry/laundry room.

We recycle! All glass, cans, paperboard, cardboard and plastic containers (rinsed as needed) go into mixed recycling containers also in the laundry/pantry off the kitchen.

**All wheel drive and 4 wheel drive necessary in winter!

There is limited public transportation to Gold Hill, we have a mountain community biodiesel bus service that runs weekday mornings and evenings. Refer to their website for current timetable
The bus can also be hired privately on weekends for wedding or other parties.

Uber and Lyft both serve the Boulder/Gold Hill corridor.
