Holiday Parties at a Winter Lodge in Cedaredge, CO
Updated: Oct 15
Here's how most holiday parties go. Dinner. A few drinks. Maybe a gift exchange. Then everybody's checking the time because they've got a long drive home.
There's a better way to do it.
Cedaredge Lodge is a little winter lodge in Cedaredge, CO, right at the foot of the Grand Mesa. Bring your crew up for the night. Eat, laugh, warm up by the woodstove, and walk to your room when the party's over. Nobody has to rush off, and nobody has to drive home in the dark.
It works for a company Christmas party, a family holiday get-together, or a bunch of friends who just need a weekend away.
Pull Up a Chair by the Woodstove
Our bar area has a cozy woodstove, and in the colder months it's the first place
everybody heads.
Come in from the snow, kick off your boots, grab a drink, and find a seat by the fire. It's not a banquet hall, and that's the point. It's a warm room where people actually talk to each other.
If your group wants to spread out, there's more room to play:
Game Room
Pool, darts, foosball, air hockey, Skee-Ball, and board games. Fair warning, things get competitive.
Covered Party Patio
It has its own woodstove, a full kitchen, and a BBQ.
Common Area
Room for a sit-down meal, a gift exchange, or an ugly sweater contest.
We're happy to help line up catering, too. Just tell us what your group has in mind.
Stay the Night, Skip the Drive
Having rooms right on site is the best part. Once the party winds down, everybody just heads back to their room.
Our rooms are rustic and cozy, full of handcrafted woodwork, and every one has its own kitchen or kitchenette. We've got king suites, family rooms, The Nest upstairs with its own balcony, and The Crown Jewel, a two-story A-frame that sleeps eight and has its own woodstove.
And you'll spend a lot less than you would at a big ski resort. If you've been comparing hotels in Cedaredge, CO for your group, give us a call and we'll walk you through it.
Then wake up slow. Make some coffee. There's nowhere you have to be.
Spend the Day on the Grand Mesa
The Grand Mesa is 12 minutes up the road, and winter is when it really shines.
Depending on conditions, your group can go:
Cross-country skiing
Snowshoeing
Sledding
Snowmobiling
Ice fishing
Winter hiking
Or build a snowman in our yard. We won't judge.
Spend the day out in the snow, then come back and thaw out by the woodstove. Of all the Grand Mesa lodges, we'd like to think we've got the coziest place to end the day.
Not Everyone Wants to Be Out in the Cold
That's okay, too. Some folks would rather browse the shops in town, book a massage, or try a wine or cider tasting.
The Grand Mesa Arts & Event Center usually has concerts, films, and other Delta County events going on over the holidays.
So half the group goes snowshoeing, the other half goes shopping, and everybody meets back at the lodge for dinner. That's a good day.
Close Enough to Be Easy, Far Enough to Feel Like You Got Away
For a lot of Western Colorado businesses, Cedaredge is a short drive:
From | Drive to the Lodge |
Delta | 15 minutes |
Hotchkiss | 25 minutes |
Montrose | 45 minutes |
Paonia | 45 minutes |
Grand Junction | About 75 minutes |
Groups from Olathe, Ridgway, Ouray, and Telluride make the trip, too. (Ouray folks, we ran a lodge in your town for 14 years before moving to Cedaredge. We'd love to see you.)
If you've been looking for lodging in Delta, CO for a holiday party, we're just 15 minutes up the road. It's close enough to keep things simple, and far enough that it actually feels like a break.
Book the Whole Lodge
For a bigger group, you can rent the entire lodge: 11 units, room for 36 guests, and every common space just for you. That means the bar, the game room, the party patio, and the grounds by the creek.
It's one of the best weekend getaways in Colorado for a group that wants to be together without being on top of each other. Everyone gets their own room, and there's always somewhere to gather.
We host all kinds of holiday gatherings:
Company Christmas parties and employee appreciation nights
End-of-year team retreats
Family Christmas celebrations and holiday reunions
Club and organization holiday parties
A weekend away with friends
A couples' holiday getaway
