A Little Wild Flower Lodge History:
This cabin has an unusual story! The structure originally began life as a 1980s-era portable school classroom from Nob Hill schools. After the school building was eventually torn down, the structure found a completely new life as a mountain home. Today, Wild Flower Lodge combines that bit of local history with rustic mountain touches and modern vacation comforts.

Whether you're planning a family getaway, a ski trip, or simply looking for a comfortable place to relax in the mountains, Wild Flower Lodge is a convenient and welcoming home base for your Alto adventure. Bring the whole family! Wild Flower Lodge is pet friendly, so your four-legged companions can enjoy the mountain getaway too.

Designed with convenience in mind, Wild Flower Lodge offers level entry, wide doorways, and a bathroom with grab bars at the toilet and a walk-in shower, making the cabin more comfortable for guests with mobility needs. Just down the road, Alto Lake offers opportunities for hiking and fishing, making it easy to embrace the great outdoors. Whether you're planning a weekend getaway or an extended stay, Wild Flower Lodge is your ideal haven, equipped with central air-conditioning to keep you cool during those summer months. Embrace the tranquility and adventure that awaits!
