Summer in the Sangres is something else.

The wildflowers are showing off right now. The trails are open. The drive up toward Monarch is one of those Colorado roads you slow down for on purpose.

We are 18 minutes from Monarch Mountain and right in the middle of all of it. Jimmy and I have been exploring this valley for years. Ask us where to go. We will not steer you wrong.

The thing that makes a bed feel like a hotel bed? Layers.

We stack a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, a light blanket, AND a quilt. Then we fold the top edge down just so. It takes 90 extra seconds and guests notice every single time.

Try it at home and tag us. We call it the bed.

Monday debate: which room calls your name?

🏖 Beach Room: sandy vibes, coastal colors, feels like a mini vacation from your vacation.
🐮 Cowabungalow: knotty pine, Western charm, Colorado all the way.

Drop 🏖 or 🐮 in the comments. We are serious about this.

6:47pm. Unexpected guest arrives.
6:48pm. Creek is unbothered.
8:30pm. Everyone settles in.

A typical evening at The Lodge at Poncha Springs. No two nights are exactly the same, but they all end up feeling pretty much like this.

Come find your spot around the fire.

Goose would like to formally announce that May has been a very good month.🐾

New guests. Evenings by the fire pit. A lot of people stopping to say hi. He takes his mascot duties very seriously and he feels the month went well.

This is what a Saturday night looks like at The Lodge.

Cool Colorado air, the fire pit going, twinkly lights in the trees, and a guest who brought his guitar. Nobody planned this. It just happened. That is kind of the whole point of this place.

Welcome to summer.
Come spend one of these nights with us.

Spring showed up at The Lodge and she brought flowers.🌷

Our little creek is running, the flower boxes are getting filled up, and those aqua doors are looking pretty good against all that color. This is what you pull up to when you check in.

Nearby, the Arkansas River is running strong for rafting right now. Wildflowers are popping on the trails above 9,000 feet. The patios in downtown Salida are open. All of it is 20 to 30 minutes from right here.

Jimmy and I love setting guests up with a solid plan. Come stay with us and we will send you out with a great one.

Colorado VW Bus Club, look who pulled into our parking lot.

Andrew H., his wife, and "Clyde" came to stay with us recently. Clyde is a 1960 VW Combi SO 23. A Westfalia camping conversion, considered one of the holy grails among VW collectors. Wooden interior fittings. Roof hatch. Fully and lovingly restored. Award-winning.

A vintage camper van. At a vintage motor lodge. Built the same era. Groovy!

We have a metal VW van sculpture in our courtyard that has been making people smile for years. Clyde, she finally met her match.

Thank you for bringing Clyde to Poncha Springs. He fit right in.

This is Glen. His father looked at a rundown building in Poncha Springs in 1976 and saw a restaurant. America was turning 200 that year, and that kind of vision… taking something overlooked and building something real out of it… is exactly what this country has always been made of.

Now we are turning 250. That entrepreneurial spirit is still alive and well right here at the Crossroads of the Rockies.

The Lodge has been part of this community since 1962. We are proud to stand alongside neighbors like Glen and his family who helped shape what Poncha Springs is today.
