Boulder Mountain Lodge

My husband and I stayed one night at Boulder Mountain Lodge--our first trip back in many years. Our room was wonderful. It was super quiet, had a comfortable bed, a little table to get some work done, kitchenette items so we could make coffee in the room as well as a fridge (to store leftovers from dinner). The adirondack chairs outside the room made a relaxing place to read a book or watch birds dip in and out of the wetlands. We also took advantage of the common building's upper balcony overlooking the bird sanctuary and pond. It's an incredible sight in the desert. Every staff member we interacted with was super friendly and helpful. The Lodge also has a little gift shop in the registration building. We had a tasty lunch at Burr Trail Grill and a delicious dinner at Hell's Backbone Grill (which is on the grounds of the the Lodge). HBG is a bit of a splurge, but absolutely worth it. BML was the perfect place to beat the heat from Salt Lake (it was over 100 in SLC but only low 80s in Boulder!) and be spoiled by both the scenery and the accommodations. Wish we'd had time for a longer stay. We won't wait so long to return for our next visit!

Boulder Mountain Lodge was a delight. Our room was lovely and comfortable with a balcony and view over a willow-shaded pond. We loved the sounds of songbirds and geese chattering from the water below. My husband made good use of the hot tub. Boulder is fairly remote and the lodge is a true oasis. I highly recommend it. On the grounds is also the James beard acclaimed restaurant Hell's Backbone Grill and Farm. We had an incredible dinner there of delicious cauliflower and trout. Reservations are probably necessary.

Wow - this is a very special place! My wife & I spent two nights here recently, and we're both looking forward to an opportunity to return. The property is beautiful; both inside & out. Our room was large, clean, and perfectly equipped for a great stay - we really appreciated being able to make a quick cup of coffee before we ducked out to watch the desert sunrise. The gardens & pond were gorgeous, and the hot tub was the perfect way to celebrate a long day of hiking. Erica at the Front Desk made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived, and was a great resource for knowledge of the area (restaurants, hikes, etc.) throughout our stay. We'll be back!

My wife and I stayed 2 nights at the Boulder Mountain Lodge for our 37th anniversary. What a terrific getaway. Quiet, beautiful scenery, great hiking and exceptional accommodations. The front desk staff (Susan) was very friendly, engaging and helpful. Absolutely love this place!

If you’re looking for comfortable lodging in an area of spectacular natural beauty, you could do no better than Boulder Mountain Lodge. Set out all day to hike or bike, then come home to soothe your tired muscles in the on-site hot tub and fall into a comfortable bed for a restful night. Plan ahead to eat at the award-winning Hells Backbone Grill, which is on the property but separately owned. Reservations highly recommended. There are other dining options nearby or you can bring your groceries and cook in. There’s a handy fire pit on the expansive lawn where the kids can make s’mores, or try a spirited game of badminton. The staff is friendly and responsive and will share suggestions for outdoor excursions in the surrounding area. The Anasazi State Park Museum is within walking distance and provides a good overview of early inhabitants of the area.

Our go to place for when we like to stay in the Grand Staircase Escalante NM. BML is, in our opinion, one of the best lodges in the area. This would be our 6th time visiting, the last in July 2020. We stayed in the Suite and yes the price is well worth it. We used the kitchen for one night and every morning for cooking/breakfast. Having Hell's Backbone Grill on the premise just makes it even better. Already looking forward to going back again and again and....
