Beyul Retreat - Red Mountain

Beyul Retreat is a wilderness lodge, personal refuge, and gathering space unlike any other. Set between Aspen and Vail, Beyul Retreat at the Diamond J lodge includes 32 private acres of meadows, forest, creeks, waterfalls and ponds, with trails leading right into the White River National Forest. The Frying Pan River remains a wild solitude, traveling through a gorgeous canyon formed from the 250 million-year-old red sandstone Maroon Formation.

We share this place with foxes, elk, black bears, hawks, eagles, and trout. Surrounded by the red rock of the river valley, the retreat is nestled in groves of Colorado blue spruce, Aspen and, Douglas fir trees. The extensive property has both welcoming gathering spaces and private corners for solitude.

At 8200’, our mountain ecology means changing magic throughout the seasons: a blanket of pristine deep Rocky Mountain powder in the winter, the sweet green emergence of spring, the glory of summer among the peaks, and a fireworks show of glowing hues in the fall.

The retreat is surrounded by the White River National Forest, which creates privacy and access for backcountry skiing, hiking, backpacking, and hunting. It’s 26 miles up from the confluence with the Roaring Fork, just five minutes beyond Ruedi Reservoir, a beautiful 1,100 acre lake where you can enjoy sailing, water skiing, windsurfing, kayaking, and fishing. World-class mountain-biking, climbing, paragliding and skiing are within a short drive.
Red Mountain is the perfect cabin for 2 people to enjoy a getaway. With 1 queen bed a kitchenette and a wood burning stove you have all you need to settle in and enjoy nature and a good nights sleep.
