David & Deese were wonderful hosts.. Check in was effortless, and the cabin was wonderful. The gazeebo by the creek was a delight as we enjoyed the wildlife as we ate breakfast. Good location to enjoy the variety of hiking trails and lakes. Highly reccommend.

Jon and Claudia….it was a pleasure to meet you both. You were the perfect guest and we hope to host you again at the lodge. David told me that you two prayed with him and I wanted to thank you. Our son returned yesterday and we are grateful and think prayers helped with a complicated air and bus schedule. You mentioned in the guest book that you were healing from a traumatic happening and we sincerely hope that the stay at MPL helped in your journey. We believe in prayer and have added you to our prayers and will continue to do so. Blessings and Peace. deese

I was looking to decompress after a particularly stressful month. One week at the Moose Lodge did wonders. Enjoyed the multitude of wildlife. Deer in the yard morning and night, and a family of raccoons paid a visit. I would go out to the ramada by the creek and read a book and take a nap almost every day. Totally relaxing! Fully equipped kitchen and good outside grill gave us the opportunity to cook great meals. I would definitely rent this place again and my wife and sister-in-law are already talking about maybe a girls trip up there.

Sure good to hear that you were able to decompress at the lodge. Wildlife to appreciate and two pavilions to unwind at are definitely attractions here. My wife and I also would like very much to host a girl's time together for your party here as well. Take Care... David and deese Dancy

We absolutely LOVED our stay! The aesthetic of the cabin was beautiful and just made us feel comfortable and at home. The old school entertainment center in the kids room was absolutely awesome, with a great selection of movies and board games that our kids absolutely enjoyed. There is no wifi which we loved as well because it really gave our kids time to actually be kids and soak every moment in. There was a variety of wildlife roaming through the property every day which was cool. The stream running through the property was peaceful and beautiful. Only a short drive up the mountain and you've got endless national forest access. If you are looking for a getaway from reality, this is the place! We will definitely be keeping this place on our list to come back to one day!

Great place to unwind…

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home is welcoming inside and out. Love there are so many options for relaxing outdoors. Our favorite was morning coffee in the gazebo watching the wildlife stroll through the yard. Thank you for sharing your lovely lodge and hope to stay again when in the area.

Secluded cabin by the Mesa

Beautiful property right off the highway yet secluded. Deer passed through everyday and we enjoyed the outside sitting areas. Biggest downside… we just didn’t get to spend as much time as we liked as we were out doing things everyday… but great relaxing environment at the end of every day of our vacation.

Oasis on the Western Slope

Truly a slice of heaven on the Western Slope. Great location for hiking, and an easy drive to Palisade. Watched the deer every morning on the property. Enjoyed relaxing in both gazebos and the babbling brook sang us to sleep every night. Thank you for sharing your lodge with us.

A great home base for mountain adventure

My siblings and I had a great stay at the lodge. Lots of wildlife and beautiful gardens. A short drive to some of the most spectacular views on the Grand Mesa and under an hour to Palisade and Grand Junction. The interior of the space was comfortable and spacious for five adults, with a well-equipped kitchen. It’s clear David and Deese take great care to keep the property clean and in good repair. Glad we gave it a chance!

We really enjoyed our stay very much in your beautiful home and grounds! There was plenty of room for all 6 of us and accomodations were excellent! The grounds were awesome as well. We ventured out several times to walk along your property...enjoying the stately trees, gorgeous flowers, and rushing stream. You have an oasis that is second to none...

Great lodge for exploring Grand Mesa area.

We enjoyed the Moose Lodge. The cabin is roomy and comfortable. We especially liked the gazebo overlooking the creek and the master shower with the 2 separately controlled shower heads. There are many comfortable decks to relax at. The lodge is just off of CO-65 so there is a little road noise but not major disturbance for us. Otherwise great place for family adventure.

Seclusion

The property is a hidden gem, however, you can hear vehicles off of the HWY if you are in the back area of the house. With that said, there is a gazebo near a creek and talk about seclusion! Also, the house is well arranged and I felt very comfortable.

Just what I needed!

Secluded home with a flowing creek and wildlife, a great place to unplug! There is one neighbor but due to the dense foliage I never saw them. I would recommend this property to anyone wanting to explore the Grand Mesa National Park.

This is a great place. Very unique property. We had a mother moose with twins walk through the back yard. The only draw back was no washer and dryer. We would stay there again, just bring more clothes.

We are most pleased that you valued the lodge as a great place to come to. We are also happy that you experienced the Moose population as well and were careful as these can be dangerous animals. The lodge has a shallow water well (35 feet) and we must help to preserve our water table in this arid west region as located. This is the reason that a washer/ dryer is not offered. We would like to see you book again in the future here at Moose Path Lodge. Best of Wishes...David and deese Dancy

Hi Sandy...We are always happy to host families for the ski races at Powderhorn Ski Area. We are pleased that 99 percent of what is available at our property met your expectations. We are proud to make our property available to a diverse population of travelers. The internet and TV are a bit of a conundrum. We have explored offering these items however we actually have more guest who leave comments in our guest book or the vrbo review site that express their delight at being totally unplugged (almost). At one point a long term guest had internet installed and found it to be expensive and not very reliable. We take our guest comments very seriously and will listen attentively in the coming season to how the comments lean on this item. Thanks again for choosing our property.

Family Wedding

This was the perfect property for our family to stay at while attending a wedding in powderhorn. It provided more than just a place to rest our heads and was a vacation with in itself. We enjoyed using the VCR for our daughters and exploring in the yard. Plenty to keep them busy. We especially enjoyed the painting in the living room. Black out curtains in the master bedroom would have allowed me to sleep in a little longer other than that it is most restful and peaceful place.

perfect spot!

My husband and I take my mother on a road trip every year. This year she turned 96 so wasn't up for a super long trip. We decided on the Palisade area to visit Grand Mesa, Colorado National Monument and the Peach Festival. This lodge was the perfect home base. The downstairs bedroom and bath were perfect for her and we had our own room and bathroom upstairs. We loved watching the wildlife while having breakfast in the morning and sitting in the gazebo at the end of the day. We had difficulty with cell & wifi service, too. It was a bit of an inconvenience but we managed. All in all, it was a great trip!

Cozy Little Home

My family stayed at this house and it was awesome. It is in a convienient location to fishing, which was our main reason for coming. The house was clean and had awesome outdoor areas to hang out in. We loved the little river that flows through the property! We would have loved some closable and/or blackout blinds in the bedrooms so we could sleep in longer in the mornings. The lack of wifi and even cellular for most of the trip was a nice way to enjoy the nature and disconnect from the world, but a tad frustrating when needing to look up things for the trip. One other minor thing is we wanted to use the basketball hoop, but the greenery has taken over under the hoop. Overall, we loved the house and would recommend this house to anyone that is looking for a great place to stay.

We are very pleased that you all enjoyed your stay and that you would recommend our place in the mountains to others. Sorry to hear that you had some cellular problems. We do use T Mobile and seldom have any issues. My son sometimes have to go outside for a good signal with his Verizon coverage. I did mow under the swing set area and will go on ahead and mow under the basketball area as well especially when children are coming. Many guests love the naturalized flower field in this play area of Sweet Peas when in bloom though. We also can consider some improvements in the blinds utilized in two bedrooms too. I thank you for your constructive suggestions and hope that you will consider coming back to the lodge in the future. Best of Wishes! David Dancy
