Breckenridge,
CO – September 2017 / Newsmaker Alert / Global
Connections, Inc. (GCI) has increased the size of the property surrounding
Lodge by The Blue. Located
in Breckenridge, CO, the Lodge is a family resort, located in the heart
of some of the best skiing in Colorado and perfect for families looking
for a convenient location in the Rockies.
Lodge
by The Blue is six miles from Breckenridge, CO and a half hour from Keystone
and A-Basin. The area is just an hour from the popular areas of Copper
Mountain, Vail and Beaver Creek. Originally Lodge by The Blue was situated
on three acres of pristine land, tucked at the base of the 14,271 ft. Mount
Quandry.
Today,
the perfect paradise for fly fishermen and skiers alike incorporates an
additional 40 acres, recently purchased by Global Connections to enhance
the resort and its surrounding property, bringing the resort property to
43 acres overall.
Tom
Lyons, President and CEO of Global Connections, developer of Lodge
by The Blue and a leader in the travel club industry says, “When the additional
acreage became available we jumped at the opportunity to expand the footprint
of Lodge by The Blue. Our plans include growing the property but for now
we are maintaining the wooded landscape to enhance our environment for
our members and guests.”
“We
want to leave much of the land undeveloped to maintain its authenticity.
Our eventual plan is to develop 10 acres or less of the 40 acquired,” Lyons
added.
Plans
include a 2.5-mile walking and snowshoe trail (open to the public) and
expanded access to the wetlands so Global
Discovery Vacations’ members and guests may more easily enjoy The Blue
River which runs through the property.
Lyons
said that the occupancy has been off the charts year-round. “Since acquiring
Lodge by The Blue we added the very popular Myla Rose Saloon which has
increased the Lodge’s popularity, even with locals!”
“Summit
County has been wonderful to work with as we redevelop this beautiful piece
of property,” Lyons said. “We are proud to be near the top on all the rankings
of small resorts in the area. Our goal is to provide more resort lodging
to better serve our members and guests. Our plan also includes employee
affordable housing so they can live where they work.”
In
addition to Lodge by The Blue, Global Connections owns and operates Beso
Del Sol (Huntington Beach, CA), Beso Del Sol Resort (Dunedin, FL), Sea
Shells Beach Club (Daytona Beach, FL), and White Oak Lodge and Resort (Gatlinburg,
TN). Its property management division works with resorts all over the United
States as well as owning and leasing vacation condominiums in Hawaii, Canada,
the Caribbean and Mexico.
