Steeped in a rich and varied history, the lodge and its owners extend a warm welcome to all.

Once a thriving gold mining camp, Hahns Peak is the oldest permanent settlement in northwest Colorado’s Routt County and served as the county seat from 1877 to 1912. Joseph Hahn, who found gold here in 1866, died of exposure before his camp boomed in 1874 and absorbed the nearby camps of Bug Town (later National City) and Poverty Bar.

Today the dirt main street passes among an intriguing collection of slab, hewn log, and frame cabins with some contemporary homes that make interesting use of local pine and spruce. Hahns Peak Village is a collection of about a dozen historic structures clustered along Main Street.

Operating a mountain retreat had been a dream for husband and wife team, Job and Kat, for a decade when they acquired the Lodge at the end of 2023.  Together with their five kids–Danny, Bethell, Lydia, Aiden, and Levin–they fell in love with North Routt over a decade earlier, and it became their go-to destination for recreation, hunting and fishing. They love introducing others to their mountain sanctuary and this unspoiled patch of Colorado’s high country.

Job grew up on a farm in Northern Colorado, and Kat hails from the Catskills. By day, Job is a partner with a national law firm, and Kat is a producer with Alliant Insurance Company.
