Step back in time with a stay in one of our cabins and beautifully restored sheep wagons, where the spirit of the Old West lives on. Rich in character and individually appointed, each unit reflects the rugged simplicity of mountain life, the heritage of early settlers, and the traditions of Colorado’s ranching days. Thoughtfully designed without modern technology, our spaces invite you to unplug, unwind, and reconnect with what matters most—meaningful moments with family, friends, and the natural world.
Cabins & Wagons
The 36 acre Ranch offers plenty of privacy for our 13 cozy log cabins, 1 bedroom Loft Apartment , 3BR Ranch House, 5 covered wagons, and a tiny house. The entire property can accommodate up to about 75 people. There are nearby trails for hiking and biking as well as a half mile of private riverfront along the Crystal River to walk and fish. Across the river, the valley opens up providing spectacular views. Avalanche Creek flows into the Crystal River, surrounded by forest service and wilderness land.
Cabin and Wagon rates are subject to change when booking more than a year in advance. Nightly minimums may apply for cabins depending on the time of year. Max occupancy is for humans of all ages, and dogs are permitted in all units with a maximum of two dogs per stay.
