We spent two nights here for a friends 40th birthday... it was a perfect getaway retreat. There's something special about having to snowmobile in, you know you're in the middle of nowhere, no cell phone service, nothing but being present, enjoying the days, and snowmobiling or timbersledding out the front door. The staff here was so kind, helpful and down to earth, we were on a first name basis with everyone. There's a restaurant which serves all local farm to table food and coffee, a fully stocked bar, game room, hot tub, fire pits, super great massage chair, and we even went on a snow cat tour. Our cabin was cozy, comfortable and clean. Would highly recommend. We will be back! read more

See all

Let me first off by saying that I have hunted on the West side of Electric Mountain for the last 6 years, and this was my first time ever into Electric Mountain Lodge (I did hear about it however). I guess my purpose of never going in was that we came in on the other side of the mountain (Off of McClure Pass), and never really ventured into the "Hubbard Park" area. We always had our big wall tents, wood burning stoves, and food for the week. So I guess we never really needed to venture that way. Let me tell you we were MISSING OUT on something amazing. I ended up venturing over into that area due to the dry season, high temperatures, and the sparse amount of elk in the area that I am usually in. I got a tip from someone about a place in Hubbard Park so decided to go check it out! First the spot was amazing, and was what I hunted for the rest of the season. However, after my first night scouting the area I decided to stop in for a beer and a meal at electric lodge. First, The staff is amazing! From the back kitchen staff, the bartenders, the waitress's, the bar backs, etc! You all rock! Super friendly, great to talk too, funny to be around (I love sarcasm and they could all read that). The place was clean, warm, and rustic truly made my hunting trip feel even more amazing. The food was great (Only criticism is a little pricey, but hey supply and demand so no complaints). The beer was cold and in a clean glass so no complaints there (Also reasonably priced). The next night I ended up bringing my whole hunting crew over for dinner and some beers after our evening hunt. They all enjoyed it and we had probably some of the best brisket and smoked sausages I have had in a long long time. We all talked about looking in one year of just staying at the lodge instead of setting up our camp. It wont be an every year stay, but worth looking into every few years. However, even if we set up our own camp you can sure as heck no that we will be stopping in for at least one night each year. Great work Electric Lodge! Great work Electric Lodge Staff! This is my new hidden gem that I can't wait to tell people about! read more

I just got to spend the last 3 days at the Lodge. This place is top notch. The staff is amazing. Luke "Colorado Dundee" Dobbs and his wife Alesia are so attentive to every need. Mike the Chef is putting out some great food as well. The Lodge and rooms are well appointed and all the amenities are available. If you snowmobile or want to snowmobile give them a call to get out here and ride some of the best terrain in Colorado. Thanks for a great New Years. Cheers! read more

This place is still open!!! Make sure you check out this website https://www.electricmountainlodge.org/ Up am running great place to stay. Highly recommend! read more

This hidden gem, tucked in the high country mountains north of Paonia, Colorado is a retreat style lodge and restaurant that will not disappoint.! We went with a group of friends on our side and rented lavish cabins, complete with more amenities than a cabin should have. We ate burgers and philly cheese steaks and other American fare at the restaurant and had cocktails at the bar, tossed horseshoes, played pool and circled up around the fire pit and enjoyed a classic lodge experience. Some of the group enjoyed the hot tub while others played board games on the patio. We all slept great and raved about the big showers and king sized beds. In the morning, we made our way to the restaurant and grabbed cups of coffee and took in the incredible views in Adirondack chairs on the patio. We were treated like family by the staff, who make it obvious that they love care-taking this fabulous property. I'm reluctant to tell everyone about this little known spot because I know it will become over run with enthusiastic visitors year round! read more

Reservations are not valid. I made a reservation for our group and we went up to the lodge to be told that they couldn't serve us. The staff up there is untrained and rude. read more

Electric Mountain Lodge - Trail to lodge. - Resorts Near Me - Paonia, Colorado

My wife and I spent the weekend at Electric Mountain Lodge and were pleasantly surprised with what we found. We were picked up at the trailhead in their 8 seat enclosed snowcat. On the ride up to the lodge we felt like we were in a gondola, looking out at the snow covered scenery. At the lodge we were impressed with farm-to-table meals served by the fireplace as we listened to live music. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff made us feel at home the whole time. We chose to rent cross country skis and enjoy the surrounding back county for the day, however we could have just as easily chose a guided snowmobile tour or rental. The lodge is surrounded my hundreds of square miles of snow covered wonderland, which we had all to ourselves. Perfect ski or snowmobile terrain. We loved the tubing hill which is only a few steps from the main lodge and sun deck. There is no place in Colorado like Electric Mountain Lodge, they have everything you need for comfort, and are about as far into the Colorado back country as you can get. A perfect adventure. read more

Electric Mountain Lodge - Resorts Near Me - Paonia, Colorado

Went up to Electric Mountain Lodge last weekend. About a half hour drive off 133 out of Paonia Colorado. They are under new management since the Fourth of July. The new people are great and super friendly, beautiful views with wildflower meadows. The building itself is cool with sculpture and art on the interior great bar and dining area and killer patio. The food was great had a burger and fries. The have a well thought out dinner menu too. We will definitely be going back. read more

Please, make this your go-to experience when you are in the area. Set amid magnificent scenery, the Lodge stands out as a truly delightful family owned lodge and restaurant that reaches for and achieves greatness. Recently had the great fortune to travel there for dinner twice and they did not disappoint. Great filet mignon at a very reasonable price. Great service! read more

Party of six stopped for lunch. Placed our orders and waited. We had been told they had a new cook learning the kitchen, so they could be a little slow. We figured OK. Several minutes later the only one in the party to order a salad got his salad after prompting the waitress. Then he got his hamburger plate. Then the waitress informed three of who had ordered Philly Cheese steaks that they were out of "shredded beef" and could make them with chicken. We all three opted for cheese burgers with pepper jack cheese. Finally, the second cheese burger showed up, but with what appeared to be the wrong cheese. We are now close to 45 minutes at the table and four of us are yet to have our lunch. Then two more cheese burgers showed up and she explained he was working on the well done burger, meanwhile, my wife still didn't have her chicken wrap. Finally the last cheese burger and the chicken wrap appeared. The three last cheese burgers have the wrong cheese on them, but after nearly an hour we sure are not sending them back. The fries are all cold, fortunately, the burgers were hot. The chicken had escaped from my wifes chicken wrap. Mostly tortilla and lettuce. At 1 and 1/2 hours we were again waiting, on our tickets. After we left, it suddenly dawned on me. Shredded beef, hell, they don't even know how to make a Philly cheese steak. Two of couples are locals who will most likely NEVER take guests back here. read more

Super happy about my experience at Electric Mountain Lodge. The property is beautiful, the staff is wonderful, the cabins are super comfy, borderline luxurious. You rarely get so much when you are so far out....but we wined and dined and had a great time. Highly recommended!!! read more

Stayed at one of their smaller cabins in March. We came to snowmobile and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The food at the lodge was great and very inexpensive. The lodge is remote and only access is by snowmobiles in the winter, which is nice. They have snowmobiles for rent but we brought our own. They keep the trails nicely groomed and have a very nice groomer. The cabin was clean and comfortable. The lodge has a spacious game room with TV and outdoor hot tub - great after a long day of snowmobiling. We loved the service, the low cost value and scenery of the area. Will definitely come back and maybe for the summer to check out hiking trails. read more

EML is a great spot for all seasons. Cory and the new ownership have made a lot of great changes. We were just there during the fall colors, amazing spot! Thanks for the hospitality. See you again this winter. - jp stoermer read more

OMG! This place was horrible. There were dead flies, moths and other assorted flying things lying on every windowsill in the place. They were even hanging on the curtains like they were trying to get out but never made it. They didn't even have enough trash bags for the containers or enough towels in the bathrooms for a place that slept 6 people. The beds were either too hard or too soft, with barely enough blankets. The people, who I assumed were the owners, were rude at times and not very helpful. We had a party of 12 that took almost 90 minutes for the last person to get served food. They overcharged on who stayed, saying that there were more than 12 people when 4 people left after it was dark and did not stay the night. They would not refund the money. I gave it 1 star because of the view but even that was hindered by old vans and air tanks lying about. Just not a very good place to stay. read more

I snowmobile in to the lodge every weekend during the winter months and it is always a great time! A great place to break for lunch and drinks. Trails and backcountry riding everywhere. They have fuel and cabins....if you like to ride book a stay. read more
