Lodge by The Blue

Very basic 1 bedroom unit. Kitchen is warm because of refrigerator operation. Plug ins not enough in bedroom bought a power ***** at City Market also extension cord to put the fan by the window to circulate cool air through out. You start with 1 roll of toilet paper then you’re responsible to get more. It is a “self checkin” property if you got this reservation through Destination Exchange as a HGV/Max owner CALL property directly to get your lock numbers! The email confirmation doesn’t include. Global connections calls the day before arrival for conformation & codes. Definitely NOT worth 10K of points! Be prepared for steps to get to room!

First of all - the info on the website about having to call and reconfirm booking does not appear valid. I tried both listed phone numbers and the email address and never got a response. I finally called the parent company in Kansas (Global Connections 913-210-5930) and that person was able to confirm my booking. That person also called Lodge by the Blue on my behalf and had a Lodge by the Blue person call me. So, I did finally talk to someone. The main reason you need to call is if you are going to arrive after 5pm - after which point the front door is locked and the front desk is not manned. However, there is an after hours phone number posted on the front door that you could call to be let in. If you will arrive before 5pm, it doesn't matter. Aside from the pre-call check-in process, the lodge is very comfy. We had a 1 bedroom suite with a decent-sized kitchen, and the one room with sofa, loveseat, kitchen table, and a balcony (which we didn't use because it was cold). There were just two of us (me and my son) and we were comfy. Two queen beds, comfy bedding, extra blankets. Adding 1 or 2 more people would make it a bit of a squeeze, but that's how it goes with condos. The kitchen was adequately stocked for cooking. Full-size fridge, dishwasher, *gas* stove, microwave, coffee pot (basket filters), tea kettle, etc. They will start you off with a couple packets of coffee, but you will need to buy more if you are here for more than 2 days. There is a separate room for your skis (get the key from the front desk). Plenty of parking. The pool & hot tub was not functional while we were there. The lodge does have a restaurant and bar, but it was not open when we were there. Apparently the place is run by 3 people, so if one person is away, various amenities are shut down. The Lodge is about 10 min outside of Breckenridge. There is a bus that goes by, but I suggest having a car. It would not be easy to survive here just using public transportation. There is a public space for all guests to use. There is a big fireplace and tables so you can do a puzzle or play a game. There are two treadmills and some weights. There are also puzzles, books movies, you can borrow. There is a ping-pong table and other games. There are free washing machines and dryers on the bottom floor, but you need to bring your own laundry detergent. It is a comfy place and I would stay here again.
