The Mountain Lodging Experience

Sipapu Ski and Summer Resort offers a no-frills, quintessential mountain lodge experience. This means our units do not have cable TV, hair dryers, shampoo, or laundry facilities, and we do not currently offer a swimming pool or hot tubs, although some guests enjoy the river. Sipapu’s climate does not require air conditioners. We do not have telephones, although cell service is typically available throughout the resort property. Select accommodations may have kitchens, coffeemakers, microwaves, refrigerators, and TVs that only work with wifi (bring your streaming device – like a Roku or Fire Stick). For questions about Sipapu accommodations and amenities, contact our helpful Sipapu reservation team at 575-587-2240.
