Colorado Family Reunion and Wedding Headquarters

The Colorado Lodge at Pine Tree Park Recreational Area on Lookout Mountain, Barn, fire pit, and picnic area is the perfect location for your whole family to spend a few days TogetherInColorado. Your family reunion, rehearsal dinner, or small wedding event up to 50 total are a perfect fit for making memories at Pine Tree Park.
Your family will create many lasting memories as you have your rehearsal dinner in the barn, your intimate wedding in the large backyard, or your family meals and post-nuptial brunch in the gourmet gkitchen/great room on the picnic tables on the covered wraparound porch. Later, you can gather around the fire pit to roast s'mores as you catch up before retiring to the 7 bedroom suites with 8 bathrooms and comfy beds for up to 14 adults overnight.

The early risers will enjoy having coffee on the rocking chairs on the front porch. The cooks in the group will enjoy preparing meals in the huge, well stocked, gourmet kitchen. and the "grill-masters" will have a fun time grilling and pellet-smoking your family meals while playing cornhole, horseshoes, or just hanging out with the other family and friends around the hot-tub or picnic tables. Preparing and enjoying meals yourselves on the property makes for a memorable bonding experience which also saves a lot of cost vs restaurants. BYO is encouraged but we do coordinate with your caterers and bartenders if you prefer.

If smaller groups want to break up to have private conversations, they will like the front porch with the rocking chairs, the large living room, kitchen area, picnic tables in the yard, Adirondack chairs around the gas fire pit, in the barn, or the 6 to 8 person hot tub with provided towels. There are also several hiking trails with great views within walking distance of the Lodge.

Having time to hang out with your friends and family in a casual atmosphere creates strong bonds and lasting memories. Cornhole, Disc Golf, horseshoes, tetherball, badminton, croquet, etc. while cooking, grilling, and barbecuing meals makes for a really nice family gathering.

Relaxing Getaway in the Mountains
This was the perfect rental for our group. Far away enough to relax but easy to get to places. We went to Fiddlers Green and Red Rocks from here and so simple (perfect for Red Rocks). 6 couples and we all had our own room and bathroom. Hard to find. Could walk to Enchanted Forest/Apex trail from the house. Fun day trips to mountain towns as well. Jon greeted us upon arrival, showed us the lay of the land, and quickly responded if we needed anything. Spent quite a bit of time on the front porch just relaxing in rocking chairs. Full kitchen and outdoor grill which we took full advantage of. Loved the chairs out back around the firepit and enjoyed outdoor games provided. The house fit perfectly for our group. Thank you Jon and Sylvia!

The property was a wonderful place for extended family to stay and gather while in town from out-of-state for a family reunion! John and Sylvia are fantastic hosts and the house had everything we needed to make everyone comfortable-including kitchen equipment for cooking and a bed for everyone! We highly recommend this property and these hosts!

Family gathering for a Holden, Colorado wedding
John and Sylvia were a pleasure to work with. They met us at their gorgeous home and gave us a quick tour when we arrived. We needed a place for a large family plus a Grandma and some cousins to stay and get ready for a wedding at a nearby golf course. The bathrooms and bedrooms on the main floor were perfect for older travelers with mobility issues. The pantry was fully stocked so when we needed cinnamon or corn starch for a recipe it was available. Pressing dresses and suits was a breeze as John and Sylvia had ironing boards and steamers to help us look like we weren’t dressing from a suitcase. The hot tub and fire pit were nice additions to this lovely mountain stay.

From the jump, John and Sylvia were kind, friendly, helpful, accommodating, and efficient. The property was better than we had hoped which went a long way to making our daughter's wedding weekend a huge success with our family and friends. I will definitely stay at the lodge again and look forward to seeing both John and Sylvia again

A perfect fit!
This house is AMAZING! Pictures do not do it justice. We had a large group of family and friends staying at the house for my sons wedding, the bedrooms are beyond amazing and the living room and kitchen are absolutely gorgeous. We also found time to enjoy the hot tub and the fire pit. Both of those extras were a absolutely perfect. We held my sons rehearsal dinner in the barn and it was picture perfect! We prepared food ourselves for 50 guest and the kitchen and supply’s were perfect. If you’re looking for a place in Colorado to gather with family and/or friends this is the spot!!!! I can’t tell you how perfect everything about this house is!! I will definitely save this listing with hopes to visit again! Thank you to John and his wife for sharing your home with us and helping to make my sons wedding weekend magical.

Annual Ski Trip
It's not often that you are pleasantly surprised when you arrive at a property that you knew was nice when you booked it. The pictures do not do it justice. The property is clean and modern with more than enough space for our group of friends and family. The owners are very responsive and friendly. We had a couple of very minor issues, which is to be expected with a rental, and I could not have asked for a quicker response. The owner himself was there to resolve the issues. I couldn't think of a complaint if I tried. Our biggest concern before we arrived was that we usually stay a little deeper into the mountains so we were worried that it would not have that feel. If that is a concern then don't let it be. The views are great and even though you're less than half an hour from Denver you have that secluded, mountain feel. I would definitely recommend this property.

The absolute BEST place to be "Together in Colorado" in Colorado"
We booked this beautiful, spacious, well appointed home to come together as a family to celebrate my son and daughter-in-law's wedding celebration for a little over a week. We enjoyed rocking on the front porch with coffee in hand, made smores and told stories around the fire pit, relaxed in the hot tub, and utilized the gourmet kitchen to it's full capacity feeding our crew of 13. All in attendance were blown away by the amenities, the spaciousness, and multiple memories made at the Colorado Lodge. We will forever look back fondly at our time spent laughing, sharing, and loving our time together as a family and are in talks of planning a family reunion to be held in the following years.
