Sundance Mountain Lodge
Sundance Mountain Lodge has a mountain feel with its rustic architecture and natural setting, but it offers modern conveniences. Set on five landscaped acres, the grounds have views of Pikes Peak, manicured paths, a fire pit, streams with bridges and three waterfalls, a wedding gazebo, and a pool (open seasonally). You can choose between standard rooms or suites. The hotel uses nontoxic cleaners and paint, recycled materials and natural stone. The rooms are quiet and private, and include patios or balconies, Internet service, and satellite TV. Special rooms are also available for guests who bring their dogs.
The onsite restaurant, Oakley's Cafe and Bistro, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Besides the Monumental Buffalo Burger, other dishes with a Colorado flair offer natural, vegetarian and gluten-free meal choices.
