Lodging
The beautiful log cabins and lodge rooms are a comfortable sanctuary to relax in at the end of an active day. Elegantly appointed with antiques, handmade log furniture and western art, the accommodations provide a touch of luxury to your western stay. Each cabin has a hot tub outside on the deck and a wood burning stove inside in the living room. Daily maid service provided.
Activities
In addition to the wonderful horse program offering scenic trail riding and innovative clinics, Vista Verde guests have a wide variety of guided activities to choose from. Some never get on a horse all week! Activities include Hiking, Mountain Biking, Fly Fishing, Rock Climbing, Rafting, Kayaking, Hot Air Ballooning, Cooking Class, Wine Tasting, Photography Walk and of course, Nightly Entertainment. Winters at Vista Verde are a true winter wonderland. You can be as active as you'd like with snowshoeing, cross country and back country skiing, snowmobiling, sledding and horseback riding (indoor arena or in the snow!). Or, you can just enjoy some solitude in your spacious cabin or by the roaring fire in our Great Room. It's a wonderful way to introduce kids to the snow, or a great way for a couple to treat themselves to a romantic winter vacation.
Children
A full Kids (6-11) and Teen (12-17) program is offered with different activities for the different age groups. The kids ride the haywagon, make wooden boats to race, hike to the teepee, take a trip to Steamboat Lake and more. The teens prepare a video of the week, go on an overnight campout one night and sneak off into town for pizza and a movie another night. Kids and teen programs offered mid-June through August in the summer and December, President's Week and Spring Break in the winter.
Dining
Our Culinary Institute-trained Chefs wil tantalize your taste buds with cuisine that walks the line between ranchy and fancy. Most meals are served family style but there are some wonderful nights when the adults can enjoy a gourmet, candlelit dinner with a nice glass of wine while the children have their own "kid friendly" dinner elsewhere.
