Live Your Outdoor Dreams Without "Roughing It"

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 area 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.  During warmer weather, (bicycling, running, OHV rides, fishing, hiking, paddle boarding,) during winter (cross-country skiing, snow shoeing, snowmobiling) are all possibilities that are close at hand. Whether you hike, trail run, or make arrangements with local outfitters to go by horseback, by all means go "wild" by venturing into the nearby Trappers Lake Wilderness Area. Serene and majestic, the wilderness 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 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. Nature, with its healing and liberating power, is immediately at hand to facilitate relaxation and provide a perfect setting for gathering together with family and friends. 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. A well-provisioned kitchen ensures that you can prepare and serve family style meals in a stylish but rustic ambience.

Great House
Place was great. Only complaint is there is a house right in front of this one that extremely limits the view. Was not expecting another house 40 ft away that host stay in. The house was perfect set up for our group and couldn’t ask for better host service

Fantastic Home in a Phenomenal Location
I spent 11 nights in this home with my husband, our kids and their friends. There were 8 of us so this house was perfect. The bedrooms are large and each having its own bathroom was priceless. (It didn't occur to me until after I had reserved that there isn't a single picture of a bathroom on the listing but I decided that since the house has a 5 star rating, it was probably a safe bet and it was. The bathrooms are just as updated and beautiful as the rest of the house.) One of the things I really love is that the outside spaces were just as clean as the inside! The decks (two in front and one in back) are wonderful and were spotlessly clean. I've rented many VRBO's where the outside areas were filthy and covered with spiderwebs because only the inside of the house was regularly cleaned. The is definitely not the case here. Our purpose for coming to Meeker was to off road. We had two ATV's with us and had another family join us who stayed in a hotel in Meeker. This house is located about 19 miles out of Meeker so the drive back and forth was a bit of a hassle (at least 20 minutes in a regular vehicle and closer to 30 in an ATV.) It was totally worth it though! The main road out of Meeker (Hwy 8) runs through a valley alongside the White River. 18 miles out of town, you turn right onto Hwy 10 which crosses the river and runs parallel to it for just a couple of miles before turning back and reconnecting with Hwy 8. There is very little traffic on Hwy 8 and even less on Hwy 10. We often went for walks right down the middle of the street and never had to move for cars. The house is quiet and beautiful and surrounded by nature. There's a bald eagle nest just a few hundred feet down the road, deer and other wildlife visited regularly, and we got to watch cows being herded by ATV's right down the street passed the house! Gary, the host, lives in the house right in front of the rental. I've never had a host live so close but Gary was wonderful and considerate and made us feel perfectly at home. He gave us great info about the area and was extremely thoughtful, even offering to let us use his hose to rinse the mud off our ATV's after a day of off-roading. The off-roading in this area is phenomenal! But if that's not your thing, there is also great hiking, fishing, and even an incredible cave to explore just a few miles of the house. Meeker is a great little town too. This house and location are 5 stars all the way.

This was our second stay in as many years here and we wish we never had to leave. Gary is a wonderful host. His property is beautiful down to the last detail. The guesthouse/cabin was again, absolutely perfect for our two families. We hope to get another chance to stay again. We truly love it.

Meeker Trails
This house was in the perfect location for us. It was close to OHV trails and there was enough room to park our pickup with the long trailer. 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms was great!! The house was decorated very nice and had everything we needed. Gary was awesome!! We were arriving late so he had gone to the house to turn the lights on so we could see to get into the house. He was close by and was very helpful with anything we needed. We will be returning to this property so much to see and we had to little time. Great place!!! Thanks Gary
