mountain retreat
A
private and picturesque getaway near the small town of Green Mountain Falls, Colo., the Outlook Lodge is the perfect place to slow down and breathe in a little mountain air. Built in 1889, the six-room lodge, newly re-imagined and opened in November, offers an ideal mix of the rustic and the contemporary. The Victorian exterior and wide wrap-around porch are nostalgic reminders of the house’s long history, while inside, modern furnishings reflect the rich colors and clean lines of the current age. When darkness falls, a large outdoor fire pit always provides a warm welcome. Lodge owner Christian Keesee is an avid supporter of the arts, and each room of the lodge contains original works from American artists. With a growing number of artist-in-residence studios and the summer Green Box Arts Festival, the town of Green Mountain Falls is a burgeoning art destination. outlookgmf.com
