Western Lodge Steamboat

Why Steamboat?

Besides the investment and redevelopment enticement of the property, the fact that it is in the heart of downtown Steamboat Springs brings incredible added value. A vibrant resort community, known for its famous powder skiing and friendly atmosphere, Steamboat is becoming increasingly visible on the national and international radar, as one of the most desirable small towns in the Western U.S.  Not only is Steamboat Springs a popular resort town with a strong and growing year-round visitor base, did you know that it was also recently named one of the 10 healthiest communities in America and that it is ranked #1 for best places for seniors to retire, while still maintaining its rich cowboy culture and Western heritage in a close-knit community that maintains old traditions and focuses on families?

There truly is no place like Steamboat. And in Steamboat, there is no other opportunity like this one.
