The mountains are calling! Imagine leaving the hustle and bustle behind as you wind your way through aspens and pines to TimberStar Lodge, close to town but a million miles away. Built in 2022, this 2000 sf single-level home was designed for comfort and connection with an open-concept floor plan and large outdoor deck with hot tub and BBQ and private front yard fire pit. You’ll love the spacious, fully-equipped kitchen, two living rooms, three bedrooms, den/playroom/bedroom and two large baths, all with 9' ceilings - plenty of room for the whole family to relax, unwind and enjoy. Just FYI, as hosts/owners, we have over 300 5-star reviews on Another Big Booking site. Our cleaning fee is purposefully low so you only pay for what you use!

Designed with our four grandkids in mind, TimberStar Lodge offers kids toys, books, movies and a fun outdoor climbing structure and rope swing for the little ones. There’s even a Pack-n-play and a booster seat.

Located in the “Banana Belt” of the Colorado Rockies, Florissant enjoys more moderate temperatures than some of our other mountain towns. We rarely get more than a few inches of snow in the winter and temps tend to hover in the 70’s and 80’s in the summer, although Mother Nature has been known to throw us an occasional curve ball! So, we have extra heaters and blankets in the chilly months and room and ceiling fans in the warmer months but there is no AC. We do, however, have excellent insulation and blackout curtains to keep the sun from disrupting your comfort. And the South Platte river is just minutes away for a cool float in the (4) tubes we provide. Want to ski? Just 1 hr. 20 minutes from Breckenridge Ski Resort!

Florissant Fossil Beds is just a 15-minute drive yet far enough away from light pollution to provide dark, star-filled skies. From the park, it is possible to see the Milky Way, other galaxies, star clusters, nebulae, planets, comets, and much more.
In 2021, Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument received certification as an International Dark Sky Park from the International Dark Sky Association (IDSA).

Please note: There is absolutely no smoking of any kind inside the house and no fires of any kind allowed, which means no outdoor candles, bonfires, campfires or fireworks. We do have a propane fire pit you can use year round. Smoking is allowed on the back deck or on the front porch but please be extra responsible and use the provided ashtray. We are in a high fire danger zone.

Due to the owner's pet allergies, we do not allow pets at TimberStar Lodge. Please inquire before bringing a service animal.

Our driveway is rather steep. If rain or snow is expected, please park in the upper parking area, even if you have 4-wheel drive. If you park in the lower parking and you get stuck, you will be responsible for getting yourself out. We do everything we can to keep the path clear, but it's Colorado.
