Surrounded on all sides by 100,000s of acres of pristine National Forest + the Lost Creek Wilderness, you and your guests will enjoy:
𖠰 a quintessential Rocky Mountain adventure
☀ an opportunity to explore and immerse oneself in a truly majestic, awe-inspiring mountain wilderness setting
♕ luxurious, modern, well-appointed accommodations

Located on 37 acres of a pristine mountain valley, the Bison Peak Lodge at Puma Hills is an amazing destination to select as your group's basecamp for adventures in central Colorado.

Immerse yourself in the Rockies, disconnect from the busyness of life, and experience the serene, healing, awe-inspiring beauty of the panoramic views of the mountains and wilderness surrounding you and your family.

Enjoy moments of quiet tranquility, warmth, and camaraderie sitting around the fireplace or enjoying a home-cooked meal prepared by one of our chefs in the great room or outside around our numerous wood + gas fire pits.

Form vivid memories and get out of your comfort zone with your family + friends as you explore the extensive marked trail system on our property and discover the labyrinth, hidden easter eggs, enjoy our outdoor games, disc golf course, and other amenities around our property.

Here, your options for adventure are endless: hiking or overnight backpacking in the Lost Creek Wilderness across the road, white water rafting, ATVing, hot air ballooning, fishing on gold medal waters, boating, horseback riding, snowmobiling, dog sledding, skiing + snowboarding + sledding – to name a few.

Even though you will be snuggled among the mountains, there is nothing primitive about our accommodations.

The Bison Peak Lodge is the sanctuary at the heart of our property - sleeping 11, with four bedrooms and 4.5 luxurious bathrooms, ensuring privacy and comfort for you and your guests.

The entire lodge has recently undergone a comprehensive renovation, boasting all new construction, furniture, and luxurious, modern amenities that enhance the timeless, rustic beauty of original lodge.

Enjoy epic sunrises and sunsets from the great room, with its tall floor-to-ceiling windows facing the Tarryall Peaks next to the large wood-burning fireplace. The great room has a variety of comfy seating options including down-filled pillows and sofa, a Bob Timberlake soft leather couch, and oversized lounge chairs, as well as fur-lined window seats and a dining room table able to accommodate up to 16 guests.

Our chef’s kitchen is located next to the great room and features a commercial-grade refrigerator + freezer, dishwasher, microwave, 6 burner gas range, flat griddle, and dual ovens.

Next to the great room, you'll find a half bathroom, our game room containing a custom-made pool table, gaming table, bar and a UHD smart TV, and our bunkroom, with a spacious en-suite full bath and featuring two bunk beds (one with a twin trundle) for a total of 5 twin beds.

Both the game room and the bunkroom offer access onto our covered back deck, where guests can enjoy views of the beautiful forests and mountains to the north.

From May 15th - October 15th, in our "glamping village" upvalley, we offer a large community area where friends and family can gather to play, share memories or roast marshmallows around large wood-burning fire pits or in the event of a fire ban, any one of the large gas fire pits.

Great escape

Took the family up for the Christmas holiday. Had a wonderful time, great views, and even got a bit of snow for that white Christmas. Place was wonderful, with a great space for dining and playing games. Would recommend to anyone looking for an escape from the city.

About the host

Hosted by Jake Lee

Host profile image
We come from varied backgrounds, one of us working with military and first responders and the other, working with disabled Olympic-level athletes, inspired us to form our non-profit Puma Hills Mountain Retreat.

Through our combined experiences as part of a military family and working with the USA Paralympic and Deaflympic teams, we built Puma Hills to help those who serve and their families. The natural beauty that surrounds our property, the nearly limitless types of activities available, provides an amazing platform to create retreats with programming that helps soldiers and first responders affected by PTSD.

We strive to provide veterans and first responders, both able-bodied and disabled, with the chance to connect with others and with nature at Puma Hills.

Why they chose this property

Quintessential Colorado in a very secluded hidden valley. Few Coloradoans, let alone others, have been on County Road 77, a paved road that primarily winds along the Tarryall creek valley, with Lost Creek Wilderness area and Bison Peak (at 12,500', the highest peak in the Tarryalls) and McCurdy Mountains 150 foot high granite hoodos as our backdrop. Yet we are only 60 miles from Colorado Springs and Breckenridge and 90 from Denver.

What makes this property unique

Your visit supports our mission to facilitate the emotional and physical healing of veterans, first responders and their families by providing our premier mountain resort facilities and programming in a pristine natural environment.
