Though TimberStar Lodge was thoughtfully designed with our grandkids in mind—featuring plenty of toys, books, movies, and a thrilling outdoor rope swing—we haven’t forgotten the magic of a mountain retreat for two. This lodge is the perfect escape for couples looking to reconnect and rekindle their connecgtion. The master bedroom, with its stunning king-sized log bed, sets the stage for exciting nights, while the luxurious bath invites couples to indulge in a truly unforgettable experience. Step into the oversized shower, where you can share intimate moments in complete serenity.
Located in the “Banana Belt” of the Colorado Rockies, Florissant enjoys more moderate temperatures than some of our other mountain towns. We rarely get more than a few inches of snow in the winter and temps tend to hover in the 70’s and 80’s in the summer, although Mother Nature has been known to throw us an occasional curve ball! So, we have extra heaters and blankets in the chilly months and wall-mounted air conditioning in the warmer months. You get to control your comfort! And don't forget, the South Platte river is just minutes away for a cool float in the (4) tubes we provide. Want to ski? Just 1 hr. 20 minutes from Breckenridge Ski Resort!
Florissant Fossil Beds is just a 15-minute drive yet far enough away from light pollution to provide dark, star-filled skies. From the park, it is possible to see the Milky Way, other galaxies, star clusters, nebulae, planets, comets, and much more.
In 2021, Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument received certification as an International Dark Sky Park from the International Dark Sky Association (IDSA).
Please note: There is absolutely no smoking of any kind inside the house and no fires of any kind allowed, which means no outdoor candles, bonfires, campfires or fireworks. We do have a propane fire pit you can use year round. Smoking is allowed on the back deck or on the front porch but please be extra responsible and use the provided ashtray. We are in a high fire danger zone.
Due to the owner's pet allergies, we do not allow pets at TimberStar Lodge. Please inquire before bringing a service animal.
Our driveway is rather steep. If rain or snow is expected, please park in the upper parking area, even if you have 4-wheel drive. If you park in the lower parking and you get stuck, you will be responsible for getting yourself out. We do everything we can to keep the path clear, but it's Colorado.
