A Perfect Day at Taylor River Lodge


Taylor River Lodge, like all of our remote hideouts, is intimate in size and located in a secluded Colorado canyon. This off-grid location is the perfect setting for friends, families, and corporate groups to unplug and reconnect.
Coffee and Yoga to Start the Day
6:30 AM
Start your day with a freshly made pastry and a hot espresso in front of the cozy fire in the Lodge. Warm up for your day of activities with an hour of wake-up yoga in the bathhouse followed by a rejuvenating cold plunge in the Taylor River.
Homemade Breakfast
8:30 AM
Sit down and enjoy the soothing sounds of music recorded at our Deplar Farm Floki Studios while enjoying a seasonally inspired breakfast and your freshly made green juice.
Fishing Adventure
9:30 AM
Meet your fishing guide for a morning walk & wade fishing adventure on our semi-private beat right on property, the Gold Medal-distinguished Taylor River. Fish for wild rainbow and native cutthroat trout and keep your eyes peeled for "Jefe", the 26-inch rainbow trout legend.
Lunch on the River Deck Followed by a Biking Trip
12:00 PM
Head up to the Lodge to enjoy lunch on the river deck, listening to the roaring Taylor River below.
Your afternoon guide will greet you on property to brief you on the afternoon adventure - a mountain biking trip perfectly tailored to your abilities. Crested Butte, considered the birthplace for mountain biking, attracts both first-timers and seriously adventurous riders with mellow, wildflower-lined trails, challenging switchbacks, and single track.
Massage at the Spa Cabin
4:30 PM
After returning to the lodge, change out of your bike shorts and into a cozy bathrobe and make your way over to the Spa Cabin to meet your massage therapist for an Eleven Life signature Fire and Ice massage. This massage uses smooth, warm river rocks and a cool moisturizing body stone to boost the immune system, flush toxins, and melt away tension.
Cocktail at the Bathhouse
5:30 PM
Finish off the relaxing evening with a soak in our saltwater hot tub and enjoy the steam room and river rock sauna. Enjoy a hand-crafted cocktail and an elevated apres snack while enjoying the serenity of our bathhouse.
Relax at the Copper John Game Cabin
6:15 PM
Rinse off in your cabin's steam shower and change to mountain-casual evening wear before heading down to the Lodge, possibly stopping to play a yard game in the lawn or pool at our Copper John game cabin along the way.
Fireside Dining Experience
7:30 PM
Take a seat at our horseshoe shaped bar and enjoy a pre-dinner aperitif and reminisce about the adventures of your day.
When you are ready, follow your server to an outdoor, fire-side dinner setting overlooking the river as the sun sets. Enjoy a locally inspired three-course dinner with perfectly paired wines as the stars begin to emerge.
Night Sky Experience
9:00 PM
Before retreating to your riverfront cabin for a well-earned rest, take in the evening's stillness by an outdoor fire under a star-studded sky untouched by the glow of city lights.
