The Lodge
A Mountain Escape
Since 1962
Kilbourne Lodge began as a 'Share House' — a place built for friends who loved the mountain. Six decades later, that spirit is alive. We've updated everything while preserving every detail of its mid-century soul: exposed beam ceilings, honey wood floors, and a grand stone fireplace that has anchored this lodge since the beginning.
Step inside and the warmth is immediate. This is a home designed for gathering — for long dinners, late nights by the fire, and mornings with good coffee before the mountain calls.
