Kachina Mountain Lodge

The Kachina Mountain Lodge (KML) project has been thoughtfully master planned with three phases, including first phase development of four Euro-alpine Wilderness Cabins followed by future phase development of a four-unit residential Wilderness Lodge and a unique in-ground sod covered commercial building that feels like part of KML’s landscape garden.

Each wilderness residence possesses a distinct character that welcomes the natural warmth of a sunny south exposure and breathtaking mountain views through generous passive solar curtain wall glass. Architecturally designed to be hand-hewn and sturdy, KML’s authentic euro-alpine wilderness residences contain many sustainability features and the timeless qualities of whimsy, elegance, permanence and fascinating details.
