The Experience

A Timber Lodge
Above the Clouds

Mountain View Lodge is a 3-storey timber retreat perched at 11,200 feet — the highest luxury lodging in the world. Unobstructed views of Mount Lincoln, Mount Democrat, and Mount Bross fill every window. Step outside and you're in the wilderness. Step inside and you're wrapped in warmth.

From the private hot tub and wood-burning fireplace to the fully equipped game room and wraparound deck — this is high-altitude living at its finest.

Alpine Wildlife

They Come to You.

At 11,200 ft you're inside the wildlife corridor. Moose use the deck. Elk wade the alpine lake. Bald eagles circle overhead. Every morning is a nature documentary — and you have the front row seat.
