The Aspens Lodge

The Aspens Lodge With four bedrooms, each with a private bath, the Aspens Lodge can accommodate a party of 8 to 10 persons. Near wilderness and National Forest areas.

A tastefully decorated common area contains a fully equipped kitchen, dining, and living areas. The Aspens Lodge, located 20 miles upriver from Meeker and nearby the Trappers Lake Wilderness area, is an ideal base for adventuring into the surrounding national forest and wilderness areas. Whether you have come to hike, bicycle, trail run, fish, hunt, cross-country ski, snowmobile, or explore the ar

ea in an OHV, you'll find yourself ideally situated to pursue your dream. The Aspens Lodge can easily accommodate a party of 8 to 10 persons. Modern and rustic decor seamlessly meld together in a common area that contains a fully equipped kitchen, dining, and sitting areas. Four tastefully decorated bedrooms each have their own private bath. Enjoy sunshine and the surrounding woods from the front and back decks. Inside, snuggle up near the gas fireplace or enjoy the handmade and antique furniture, original artwork and photography highlighting the beauty of the surrounding area. The Aspens Lodge is an ideal base for your active lifestyle. Serene and majestic, the Trappers Lake Wilderness Area provides a restorative therapy like no other. Trailheads for various trails leading into the wilderness are located nearby: the Oyster Lake trailhead is one mile away; the South Fork campground trailhead is only 11 miles away; the Marvine Lakes trailhead is only 16 miles away; and various trailheads at Trappers Lake are only 28 miles away. If your preferred means of accessing the "great outdoors" is of the motorized variety, you'll find The Aspens Lodge to be an ideal base while you explore the extensive Wagon Wheel Trail network that extends around Sleepy Cat Mountain. You can access this network at points nearby, including Lake Avery which is just a few minutes away. During the winter, many snowmobilers use a parking lot that we provide as a courtesy higher up on our property to set off on rides into the high country accessible only by snow mobile or cross-country skiing on the Buford-New Castle Road. But you don't have to leave the Aspens Lodge to enjoy nature. The surrounding hills, which display a palette of colors that vary with the season, the fresh air, the babbling of a nearby brook, or a cozy fireplace inside provide an idyllic setting for simply relaxing.

As the snow gently falls outside and the world nearby is covered in white, it is a good time to reflect on the year that has been and the new year that lies ahead. Here at the Aspens Lodge, each season brings its own special kind of beauty--and a beautiful year it has been--blessed as we were with a bit more moisture in 2022 than in the previous couple of years. ...

Henry David Thoreau wrote, "There are moments when all anxiety and stated toil are becalmed in the infinite leisure and repose of nature." In this troubled age of polarization and political divide, when uncertainty and fear are amplified by our most un-social media, there is a need--more than ever--for the calming and healing influences of nature. Although the moment is brief, with the changing of the seasons, fall offers an opportunity to see the natural world that surrounds us in a new and beautiful light. ...

I awoke this morning to a world immersed in white. The snow that began falling yesterday was still gently coming down and covering the aspen, spruce—indeed, the entire landscape, with a soft winter coat of white. As I watched the snow fall and contemplated all of the snow shoveling that lay ahead, I checked the weather report which called for clouds clearing in the afternoon. Since blue skies, sunshine, and freshly fallen snow provide the ideal condition for cross-country skiing, I resolved to expeditiously attend to my chores. I didn’t want to let the “necessary” stand in the way of the transcendental. Those who have experienced breaking a fresh trail in a forest adorned with new snow will understand what I mean: Beyond the solitude, stillness, and beauty, cross-country skiing on such a day provides an immersive outdoor experience that transcends the ordinary and provides a glimpse into perfection. It transports one into an otherworldly dimension where there is genuine peace and harmony. It provides a welcome and needed antidote for the uncertainty, unsettledness, tension, harshness, and coarseness all too prevalent in our everyday experience. In the quiet forest, there is calm refreshment and nourishment. Come. Be refreshed.

Winter is a quiet time here at the Aspens Lodge, but is a time with incredible beauty. Abundant options exist for enjoying the great outdoors. Nearby cross-country ski or snowshoeing options include the Buford-New Castle Road, the road to South Fork Campground, and the delightful (and often neatly groomed) trail into the yurt at Marvine Campground. A multitude of snowmobiling options are available in the immediate area. Near the end of the winter maintenance on the Buford-New Castle Road, we have provided, on our property, a courtesy parking area for snowmobilers. Old-fashioned winter fun can be had with sledding, snowball fights, and building snowmen. And, of course, if curling up with a good book in front of the fireplace is your preferred choice, that is an option too.

It’s a beautiful fall day at the Aspens, but the leaves are flying off of the trees.
