4 Bedroom House in Silverton
The San Juan Backcountry Lodge is an off-grid mountain retreat designed for guests who value access to the backcountry, privacy, and amazing views. Set deep in the San Juan Mountains near Silverton on Kendall Mountain, this lodge offers ski-in/ski-out backcountry access in winter and direct 4WD access to the Alpine Loop in summer and fall.

-Backcountry skiers & snowmobilers (winter)
-Hunters during fall season

*The lodge will open June 1st. This is the third backcountry vacation rental that the owners/operators/builders Adam and Spencer Rex are completing. The others are escalantecliffhouse.com and Birchcreekhouse.com. We have always opened on time and will do so again.
*UTV ACCESS TO THE ALPINE LOOP: Access to the Alpine Loop from the lodge requires guests to drive through the outskirts of Silverton, but through Silverton city limits for about 1/4 mile. If you get caught driving a UTV through Silverton, it's a $300 fine. To be perfectly legal you'd have to trailer your UTV through town and unload it on the other side. It's not possible to leave from anywhere in Silverton in a UTV and access the Alpine Loop without the risk of a $300 ticket.
