Lodging

We have 15 cabins that have true rustic elegance, decorated with wonderful western charm. Each have private baths, daily housekeeping, rocking chairs on the porches and most of the cabins have fireplaces. All cabins are very comfortable and are non-smoking.

Activities

Horseback riding is the main summer activity on the ranch. Your family will go on daily rides into the Rocky Mountain Park, across the Roosevelt National Forest and throughout surrounding private properties. We also offer lunch rides and a beautiful wrangler breakfast ride to watch the world's largest pancake being flipped. We also offer whitewater rafting, golfing, hiking, a climbing wall, square dancing, a hoot-te-nanny, and lots of relaxing in our hammocks. We have a heated pool and a wonderful hot tub to rest in after a long horse ride. We have a recreation hall filled with games for kids and adults alike. Fun can be had by all!

Children

We have one of the best kid's program in the business. We have an A+ staff of college age counselors that are outstanding. We have found that 3 seperate kids' programs are the best way to ensure that your children are having a blast. These programs are divided into a kid's program for kids 0 - 10, a Jr. High program for teens ages 11 - 13, and a High School program for young adults ages 14 - 17. They will meet daily from 9:30am until 12:30pm. These programs are very well planned and facilitated. The younger kids' will enjoy a program with daily themes (like Cowboy Day, Mountain Man Day, Carnival Day, Rodeo Day, etc.) and each of them will be very creative. The counselors, like I mentioned before, are outstanding and are the kind of young adults that you want your kids to hang out with and look up to. We also offer a nursery and babysitting during activities that the little ones may not be old enough to participate in yet (like rafting, hiking, and horseback riding). Some of the afternoons, the older children (pre-teens,teens) will head to town for go-carts, putt-putt golf, and ice cream or will go on special guided hikes. This is a homerun program and all of your kids, no matter the age, will have a blast.

Dining

You will be blessed daily with a variety of outstanding meals. Think of it this way, you will not have to prepare any food or decide where to eat or what to eat. We offer a creative menu with different choices at each meal. We do accommodate special requests for food allergies and for vegetarians. Our food is fantastic and the kid's love what we offer (if they want something different than the meal served, we will gladly accommodate their request). You will love the food and the service.
