Taylor River Lodge
Gold medal water, riverside cabins, and all-day dries.
Taylor River Lodge is a private collection of eight cabins hidden along the Taylor River in a rugged canyon near Crested Butte, Colorado. With a number of float and wade options on hundreds of miles of water including the Gold Medal waters of the Gunnison River and Taylor River plus private access on Tomichi Creek, our expert local guides welcome all levels of anglers to fish for big rainbows, browns, and native cutthroats. Back at the lodge, enjoy an off-grid mountain setting with a beautiful bath house, marksman range, and plenty of space to chill out along the roaring Taylor River. Finish off the night with a chef-made dinner full of local ingredients.

Drawing on its mining and ranching history, Taylor River Lodge delivers a true Rocky Mountain experience complete with log cabins, antique Western decor, and an eight-acre property nestled in the pines. While the design keeps its rustic character alive, the conveniences are all state-of-theart, from steam showers to an inviting bathhouse with a saltwater pool, hot tub, sauna and steam room. Outside is a stocked casting pond, marksman range, and climbing wall.
