This Guest Ranch is situated right off the beaten track in an isolated location, altitude 8100 feet near Rifle in Colorado fantastic for those who want to go back to basics in stunning countryside. It has 6 rustic cabins that are available throughout the year. Each cabin has a sitting area, a bathroom with shower, bedroom and a deck. Five of the cabins have a fireplace. There are two cabins with a single room, three cabins with two bedrooms, and one cabin with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Many of these are of an age that has allowed the owners to apply to go on the Register of Historic Buildings so expect accommodation with character. The cabins will comfortably sleep between 2 and 8 people and all have space for a roll-away bed as well. There are no mini-fridges or microwaves in any of the cabins as all meals are prepared and served in the main lodge. The main lodge includes a dining area that can seat 30 people. They like to focus mainly on families although singles and couples are given the same attention. Details about their Adult Only Weeks at the end of August, Ladies Week in early September, Horsemanship 101 in early June and their Spiritual Retreat are available on request. The Lake offers excellent opportunities for fishing either by lure or fly rod and there are some large fish to be caught and cooked. A number of boats are available for use and, for the hardy, a swim before dinner will set you up for fine evening meal. The ranch is located within the White River National Forest which is another reason that makes this ranch so different - it is an area of outstanding natural beauty and is isolated from the rush of everyday life. They are surrounded by the 2.3 million acre National Forest. Because of their location they operate off the utility grid using solar and hydro power to supplement their propane generator for all electricity. Cell phones do not work at the ranch so the ranch phone is the only means of getting in contact |

Remember we charge the same as the ranchers do and only by booking through us can your holiday be protected by our industry bonding. Their winter programme is truly unique. Because they are in the National Forest, the road to the ranch is closed once the snow comes, usually in December. After this point guests must come the last two miles on snowmobiles. Their staff provides this pick up and drop off service. Once at the ranch, guests use their snowmobiles or rent to take advantage of the 30+ miles of groomed snowmobile trails. Veteran snowmobilers as well as first timers can enjoy these trails. The ranch also grooms trails for cross country skiing. Other activities enjoyed at this time of year are snow shoeing, sledding, skating, and just relaxing around the fire. The ranch is also within one to two hours of several downhill ski resorts as well. The winter season typically runs from December - April.
