Here, you’ll live day to day, adventure to adventure.

You’ll view the land as the pioneers would have – looking out on dramatic peaks in every direction by day, and into the depths of the Milky Way at night

Imagine waking up to the crisp mountain air, stepping outside your private cabin, glamping tipi, or Conestoga wagon to witness elk or bighorn sheep grazing in the early morning light. Here, the mountains aren’t just a backdrop—they’re your playground. Hike through untouched forest, cast a fly into crystal-clear waters, or simply unwind under whispering aspens. And when night falls? Gaze up at a sky so full of stars it feels like time has stopped.

But Bison Peak Lodge is more than just an escape from the city.

It’s a retreat center with purpose.

Whether you’re planning a family getaway, an unforgettable wedding, or an exclusive retreat, Bison Peak Lodge offers a quintessential Rocky Mountain adventure wrapped in rustic elegance.

Bison Peak Lodge at Puma Hills is an experience built for the quiet adventurer, the intrepid spirit, the eternal wanderer, a haven for those who seek both adventure and solitude.

“I rode up one great ascent…and suddenly, across the broad ravine, rising above the sunny grass and deep green pines, rose a magnificent and unearthly range of mountains… colossal points, deep blue ravines, jagged peaks, and towering pinnacles—a glowing, heavenly, unforgettable sight.”

Isabella Bird, describing Bison Peak and the Tarryall Peaks on her solo 800 mile journey through Colorado in 1873.
