HISTORY/HOSTS
Originial known as "Wildcat Gulch", our valley has been hosting guests since serving as a stage coach stop in the 1880's. First resort was built in the 1920's, started as a dude ranch in 1953. Many families and groups have been coming for 20 years or more- we'd love to make you a part of the Peaceful Valley Family!

ITINERARY
A sample day at Peaceful Valley would start with "Breakfast on the Mountain" where guests can horseback ride or ride a horse-drawn wagon to our beautiful site that overlooks the Continental Divide. After breakfast enjoy more riding or go on a hike to an alpine waterfall or lake surrounded by wildflowers. Lunch will be served at 12 noon followed by afternoon riding and activities. At night gather the family up for a ranch style dinner served in our dining room located on the St.Vrain River and plan to do some dancing afterwards. From sun up till sun down, there is always something to do at Peaceful Valley!
