Country Lodge

View of Pikes Peak, comfy accommodations and a heated indoor pool are among the top perks at the non-smoking Country Lodge in Woodland Park. The two-story Country Lodge features 60 non-smoking rooms with coffeemakers, mini-fridges and flat-panel TVs with premium channels. Select rooms also include jetted tubs. Guests can take a dip in the atrium-enclosed pool and relax in the hot tub. Wi-Fi access is free, and there's a business center equipped to send that important fax. Guests can also take advantage of the 24-hour front desk staff. The Country Lodge is on Highway 24 in Teller County, 18 miles west of Colorado Springs. Famed Pikes Peak, always visible in the area, is an hour's drive away. Guests can tour the world's largest gold mine in Cripple Creek, about 30 minutes away, or view million-year-old dinosaur fossils at the Florissant Fossil Beds, 15 miles away. Aspen, Vail and Breckenridge skin resorts are about two hours away, and Colorado Springs Airport is 26 miles from the lodge.
