Accommodations for Bison and Cattle Working Ranch in Colorado



Accommodations

This is a stationary ride, so all nights are spent at the same location.

Description

Set back in a shady cotton wood grove beneath the majestic 14,000-foot peaks of the Sangre De Cristo Mountains lies this historic Ranch headquarters and lodge, which was established in the late 1800’s.  All facilities were remodeled in the early 2000s.
The main building contains large indoor and outdoor dining areas, a bar that serves wine with appetizers and refrigeration for guest's own additional beverages, and comfortable guest rooms. There are 2 other buildings hosting the rest of the bedrooms. Each of the 15 bedrooms features two double beds or a single king and we have one room with three queen beds. For evening soaks after a long day of fun, the hot tub, with views of the sand dunes, and the mountains beyond, is just steps away.
Wi-Fi is available in the lodge’s sitting room. Daily housekeeping and laundry facilities are included.

Please note that the ranch is located at 7,950 feet above sea level. Elk, mule deer, migratory birds, eagles, and black bear also call this area home.



The Lodge
This is the original homestead built in the 1800's. The log home has been beautifully remodeled to incorporate a roomy and attractive indoor dining area with a fireplace and large windows along with a cozy sitting area. The large deck just outside the dining area is shaded by mature cottonwood trees and complimented by a flower garden that allows for lovely views of the property. Each of the 5 rooms are beautifully furnished and have a southwestern decor that gives them the feel of home and rustic elegance.

The Bunkhouse (same rate as Lodge rooms)
Just outside the lodge is the log bunkhouse with five private rooms, each with a full bath and exterior entrance. One room is a suite with a separate living room and wood stove.  Rooms are in top order and beautifully decorated along with large comfortable beds.  Windows open wide to let in the fresh mountain air and the views of the natural gardens surrounding the Inn set you in a world all your own. 

The Stewart House
A fully furnished home separated from the lodge by a lighted footpath. Each of the five private rooms offers full baths. The home features common areas such as a fully equipped kitchen, living room with fireplace, pool table and a large dining area that can accommodate larger groups. The view from the living room windows and private patio provide a front row seat to Great Sand Dunes National Park and Crestone Peak, one of the most spectacular 14,000 foot peaks in the entire Sangre de Cristo mountain range.

The Stagecoach House
The Stagecoach House is a fourth small, elevated lodge with 2 rooms bookable only together -- one single king and a double full. This house is only available during 8 weeks each season. Please inquire about these dates if you are interested.

Room Occupancy
There is no single supplement fee.
Triple occupancy might be possible based on availability.



Meals
All meals are included in this trip from dinner on Day 1 to lunch on the last day.

The dining experience is second-to-none. Our cook promotes the return to home style cooking with the use of seasonal spices and fare and strives to connect dishes to local farming producers.
Our menus often feature ranch-raised bison and beef as well as locally grown vegetables and produce. Meals are served family-style in either of two dining rooms –our outside dining area on calm evenings or our indoor dining room with large windows and a fireplace otherwise.

Breakfast is served at 8:00am and includes eggs made to order, biscuits and gravy, warm pancakes, cereal, as well as fresh fruits.
Sack Lunches of your choice are provided to take with you on activities.
Dinner begins with appetizers at 6:00pm each evening.

Wine is served with appetizers and guests are welcome to bring their own alcohol for anything additional. We can stop after picking guests up from the airport or if requested, alcohol can be picked up on one of our two weekly town runs.

Dietary Restrictions
We can cater to severe food allergies and vegan/vegetarian diets with prior notice.

This trip can accommodate special dietary requests.
