Hotel
We currently have 9 rooms blocked at this location. These rooms need to be booked by mid March or else they will be re-released to the public. They require a two night minimum and cost is about $200 per night. This is a 21 minute drive from the venue. **You must let them know that this is for the Best Aragon wedding** Shuttle service *may* be provided, depending on need and availability.
Travel Note
Directions: Beaver Lake Retreat is just over two hours from Grand Junction’s airport and just over an hour from Aspen’s and Vail’s Airports. From either Carbondale or Paonia follow along HWY 133 to the Marble Road turn off (County Road 3) at the north base of McClure Pass. Follow the Marble Road 5 miles east into Marble to the only bridge with log guard rails. From that bridge, take the very first left, then the SECOND right, following the black and yellow reflective BEAVER LAKE RETREAT signs up a short hill to the three story log retreat. If you reach Beaver Lake you’ve missed a turn. Lost? Ask or phone from the old Beaver Lake Lodge, just below BEAVER LAKE RETREAT.
House Or Rental
This is a small lodge with a dozen private rooms and is a 22 minute drive from the venue. Last I checked these rooms were about $135 per night.
Travel Note
There is no cell phone service at the lodge. Carbondale (from north) and Paonia (from south) are the last towns with ordinary gas stations and grocery stores. Fill up and buy whatever food, snacks or other provisions that fit your plan, and avoid needless trips back out to shop. Drink lots of water and consider taking a few aspirin the day of travel to thin the blood…it works wonders at preventing altitude “sickness,” a tired and headachy feeling that effects some people coming from elevations below 5000 ft.
Hotel
This is a cheaper (yet further away) option. Last I checked, rooms were $76 per night. This is a one hour drive from the venue. A shuttle service *may* be provided, depending on need and availability.
Travel Note
Swim suit/trunks for the hot tub (adults only) Light hiking boots or sturdy walking shoes Sunglasses, sunscreen, or a brimmed hat Hooded/waterproof jackets, gloves, thick wool socks, clothes to dress in layers (even summer alpine weather and temperature differentials vary greatly with ascent or decent in elevation). Snacks and water for the drive.
