Snowdrift Lodge Vacation Home at Windcliff

Larimer County Approval Number: 20-NCD0054

The Snowdrift Lodge (formerly known as Garland's Alpine Lodge) is a premier vacation rental home at Windcliff Estates, a duplex townhouse of extraordinary character. The Lodge stands less than 300 feet from a common boundary with Roosevelt National Forest and a similar distance from the boundary of Rocky Mountain National Park (which adjoins Windcliff). And, the view to the west from Snowdrift Lodge encompasses the towering grandeur of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains... within what appears to be arm's reach.

• Oversized couches await your moments of shared “debriefing” after every outing.
• A pair of hob-nail recliners is focused directly at the mountains.
• A fireplace stands at the ready; its massive mantel a giant beam of time-weathered wood salvaged from some earlier story of these mountains.
