About Beaver Lake Lodge & Cabins
You could say Beaver Lake Lodge and Cabins is at the far side of Marble, Colorado—but in a town of 85, it’s more accurate to say we are the far side. We’re beyond the campground, across from the last stop sign, and just before the wilderness really kicks in.
Our five historic cabins were originally home to quarry workers over a century ago. These days, they’re a whole lot more comfortable. Each has its own personality, but all come with porches, hardwood floors, log beds, kitchens, snazzy bathrooms and mountain views. Scattered around the cabins, you’ll find fire rings, picnic tables, a charcoal grill and a particular nosy marmot who considers himself part of the welcome committee.
The main lodge started out as East Marble’s schoolhouse back in the late 1800s. Over time, it has played many roles: town meeting hall, bait-and-tackle shop, restaurant, and finally, since the 1950s, a lodge. The rooms are freshly renovated in a clean, modern farmhouse style, and include a kitchenette or full kitchen, a 3/4 bath (shower, no tub), a TV, and private outdoor access.
Cabin rates: $200–$250/night
Lodge room rates: $175–$200/night
Open year-round.

What to do around here
Marble is your base camp to the White River National Forest and the Raggeds Wilderness. If you are looking for outdoor adventure, solitude, connection to nature, a deep sense of history, or just some really cool rocks, you will find it here.
Summer is when things hum around here with: fishing holes and paddle-worthy lakes; horseback rides and pack trips; hiking, biking, waterfalls, and wildlife; Jeep tours and ATV rentals; high altitude farm and history museum tours; fresh mountain air and small-town charm.
Fall brings gold-drenched aspens, hunters and some of the quietest trails you’ll ever hike.
Winter covers everything in snow -- perfect for nordic skiing, snowshoeing, ice climbing, sledding, and ice-skating or fishing on frozen lakes. Slow down and get cozy. The Lodge and Cabins are like a hut trip … only warmer, with drive-up access.

The town of marble (Yep, real marble)
Marble’s mining history is unlike anywhere else in Colorado. Instead of digging for ore, folks here quarried Yule Marble – pure white marble that made its way into the Lincoln Memorial, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and many other monuments and buildings. It is Colorado’s State Rock, and can only be found right here. You’ll spot it everywhere: steps, benches, roadside boulders.
The town boomed, busted, and nearly vanished. It involved a gondola, a couple of tragic crashes, an avalanche, and a mudslide.
These days, Marble is quiet, quirky, and unapologetically itself. From the Lodge, walk across the Carbonate Creek bridge and you’ll hit a handful of gems: Slow Groovin’ BBQ (don’t skip it), the old State Bank (now The HUB, a coffee shop and info center), the restored Marble Community Church (services at 10:00 every Sunday), The Marble Gallery (jaw dropping sculptures by world renowned artists), Raspberry Ridge Café (the best…and only… spot in town for breakfast), and the Mill Site Park (historic and beautiful). Folks here are mountain-tough, hospitality-warm, and always ready with a story.
Take the other direction out of the Lodge’s front door, and down a wooded lane to Beaver Lake. Bring your fishing pole, paddle our canoe, or just sit and stare at the rugged peaks. Continue past Beaver Lake and you’ll find yourself on the trail to Crystal City, and the famous Crystal Mill.
