Where to Stay in Lake City, CO

Best Place to Stay in Lake City

Staying in Lake City, one of the most secluded towns in the United States, doesn’t have to be confusing. There are limited options, so we recommend planning in advance. However, this doesn’t mean you won’t find a place to rest your head the day or night before you arrive. We believe the North Face Lodge is the best place to stay in Lake City. 

The North Face Lodge

The North Face Lodge sits on an elevated area on the north side of town and overlooks the town. From the spacious patio, guests can gaze at mountain views, soak up magical sunsets and sunrises, observe wildlife, stargaze, and appreciate all the location has to offer in all its glory. 

Clean Rooms

Each room is carefully cleaned prior to guests’ arrival. While we respect your privacy during your stay, always feel free to request clean towels, more coffee, or any assistance you may need. We are here to provide the most positive experience possible. Our reviews speak for themselves and we can’t wait to show off the pride we take in making your stay as comfortable as possible. 

Is Lake City, CO Pet Friendly?

Can’t travel without your best friend? We understand! Many places in Lake City allow pets, and the North Face Lodge is proud to be a pet-friendly place to stay. All we ask is that you keep your pet from disturbing guests when on the patio or during late-night and early-morning hours. You can read more about our pet policy on our site here. 

Competitive Rates

We are proud to offer competitive rates! Finding the best rate when traveling can be frustrating and confusing. So many sites claim to offer the best prices possible. We welcome you no matter what site you choose to use to book a room. However, if you book directly with us we can offer the lowest price possible. Many third-party sites claiming to offer the best price charge customers for fees that we don’t have to even consider! So, if you aren’t finding what you are looking for, give us a call and we will do our best to accommodate!

What if No Rooms are Available?

During the busy season, our rooms tend to be booked quickly. So, if we don’t have a room available, we will do our best to put you in touch with another local accommodation so you can enjoy your time in Lake City. If you ever need any honest reviews of where to stay in town, we are here to help
