Fall Is Coming to Breckenridge

Fall is coming to Breckenridge, and right now the weather is absolutely gorgeous.

The mornings are crisp, the afternoons are warm, the skies are blue, and the mountains are starting to hint at what’s coming. Before long, the aspens will begin turning gold and the whole landscape will take on that unmistakable Colorado fall look.

The trails are still crowded, the roads are still busy, and everyone seems to be trying to squeeze in one more mountain bike ride, one more hike, and one more weekend in the Colorado sunshine.

But honestly, we can’t blame them.

This time of year is pretty hard to beat.

The Best of Both Seasons

September in the mountains is a little bit of magic.

The summer crowds are beginning to thin, the temperatures become more comfortable, and the first signs of fall start appearing throughout the high country.

You can have a cool morning, a beautiful warm afternoon, and a spectacular evening watching the sun disappear behind the mountains.

And then you wake up the next morning and do it all over again.

And Then Comes Fall

Soon, the trails will quiet down.

The aspens will turn brilliant shades of yellow and gold. The evenings will get colder. Snow will begin appearing on the highest peaks.

And Breckenridge will start transitioning into another season.

That’s one of the things we love about living here. The mountains are constantly changing, and every season has its own personality.

Come See It for Yourself

If you’ve been thinking about a fall getaway to Breckenridge, now is the time to start planning it.

Stay at High Country Lodge and experience the best of both worlds. You’re only about 10 minutes from downtown Breckenridge, but once you return to the Lodge, you’re surrounded by mountain views, open space, trails, and the peace and quiet that you came to Colorado to find.

Spend the day exploring Breckenridge, hiking, mountain biking, or chasing the changing aspens. Then come back to the Lodge, relax on the deck, enjoy the views, and watch the mountains change color as the sun goes down.

Don’t wait until the leaves are at their peak to start looking for a place to stay.

Fall weekends are limited, and the best dates go quickly.

Book your fall stay at High Country Lodge and experience Breckenridge the way Colorado was meant to be experienced—surrounded by mountains, immersed in nature, and just minutes from town.

Come for the fall colors. Stay for the mountains.

Book your stay at our Lodge today.

Contacting us sooner is always better than later.

Hope to see you soon!

We recently had a retreat at the lodge. Gorgeous views from the back patios, day and night. The stars were amazing along with sunrise / sunset. Moose, foxes, hummingbirds among other critters. Short hike to a running creek. Bedrooms were great as we had a big group amd everyone was comfortable. Plenty of bathrooms and amenities. We had our own kitchen with 2 fridgerators and the owners Patrick and Petra have a separate chef kitchen that they cooked us breakfast and lunch in every day. The were very accommodating as to our special diet restrictions for the group. Clean hot tub was a plus as well. Would definitely recommend for a group or family gathering. Will be back next year for sure.

We booked this for my daughter's wedding. Patrick was an absolute JOY to work with, the house was perfect, the food was DELICIOUS, he provided breakfast, lunch and dinner on the wedding day for our party. I could not have asked for a better venue, hosts or food. It was AMAZING. He is very customer focused.

WONDERFUL place for a wedding. Gorgeous views, clean mountain air and some 20 bedrooms for our friends to stay put and enjoy the 3-day festivities. Patrick was very accommodating with planning the menu for the wedding and a farewell breakfast but we brought tons of food and beverages to keep everyone happy for the three days. Highly recommend.

We stayed at High Country Lodge in Breckenridge for a friend’s Celebration of Life, and it ended up being the perfect place for a really meaningful weekend. The lodge is historic, super charming, and set on a beautiful mountain property that feels peaceful and private. The family/owners were incredibly kind and genuinely hospitable—you can tell this place means a lot to them. They took great care of our group, which ranged from about 10–25 people (with a lot of kids)--plus a large event--and it felt easy and comfortable the whole time. Very kid-friendly. Also, Patrick is a really talented chef and catered meals throughout the weekend—everything was delicious and made such a difference for our group. It’s a large space that works really well for gatherings, but still feels cozy and personal. Just an all-around special place. Highly recommend for groups, especially families. Thanks for hosting us Patrick & Petra!

The High Country Lodge was an incredible stay for our group of 25. We had our annual Board of Directors meeting and it was a great spot to fit everyone comfortably, as well as build relationships in the lodge. Patrick and Petra hosted us with excellent service, delicious food and a warm family-like hospitality. I couldn't recommend this place more for a big group!

This place is awesome! Beautiful location, family owned and operated by really great people. So clean, such excellent food and overall fantastic experience. We hosted a retreat for our board of directors, with many moving pieces and special requests. Patrick and Petra were always right on time, composed and kind. Now I am just looking for excuses to go back as soon as possible.
