HistoryThe history of the Stone Mountain Lodge property dates back to the founder of the town of Lyons, E. S. Lyon. From 1890 to 1917 the property was a sanitarium called Thorncroft, and owned by Lily Lyon, the daughter of E. S. Lyon, and her husband T. J. Thorne, the first teacher at the old Lyons School, a businessman and lawyer.
Lily Lyon and T. J. Thorne In 1917 the property was called "Bella Vista Cottages". It included a dining hall and catered to tourists coming to see the Rocky Mountains.
The Thorncroft Dining Hall on July 4, 1911 A portion of cabin 17 dates back to one of the original Bella Vista Cottages. Most of the cabins of Stone Mountain Lodge today were built in the 1950's. In the 1960’s, Stone Mountain Lodge was known as the Red Cliff Motel, when the lodge building opened.
The "Red Cliff Motel" billboard of the 1960's Today, Stone Mountain Lodge brings back some of that nostalgic feeling of the 50's and 60's, but with updated cabins, a lot of room to roam, and the same towering red cliffs, wildlife, and views. |
