This traveler wants to pack their schedule full of outdoor actives and adventure—yet The Home Ranch offers activities for the meek traveler, who might be accommodating a thrill-seeking spouse. Membership in the prestigious Relais & Chateaux hotel association), and the friendliness and flexibility of the staff, from the dining team to the barn director. There were many mistakes made along the way, some were corrected, some were not correctable. Most of them could have been avoided with a little more attention to detail. We are mostly happy with how are home turned out though and the people we worked with through the whole process were very nice. Shocked at the supply chain issues impeding finishing my house.
There are holes that i can see light through in the garage My kitchen window condensates between the panels. I had to backfill it myself and repair my landscaping after the laborer came out and made a mess of the place. I had to fight tooth and nail to get them to fix cosmetic drywall crack in the living room BEFORE I CLOSED ON THE PROPERTY. My hardware in the bathrooms isnt mounted correctly so they are all twisted and not secure. The toilet paper holders drop the toilet paper on the ground regularly.
Hotel Review: The Home Ranch in Colorado
Since 1979, The Home Ranch has welcomed back generations of extended families, and annual gatherings of old friends to a beautiful guest ranch experience in Clark, Colorado. The horse program at The Home Ranch offers the best first-day orientation we’ve encountered so far at a dude ranch. The wranglers take the time to explain not just what to do on the horses, but why, and extensive instruction is given in the arena before riders hit the trails.
Making the long commute to the hotel is an ideal time to begin unplugging. Holistic Management is an ecologically minded approach to ranching that helps land managers, farmers, ranchers, and environmentalists develop strategies for managing herds of domestic horses and livestock. This is based on a practice that mimics ancient wild herds in a manner that heals degraded soils, improves ecosystem function, and builds biodiversity in grasslands.
Best Summer Family Vacations in Colorado
We got a lot of pushback when we found sink holes in various places around the foundation. Classic tried to blame the landscaper but eventually filled them a couple months later but we had to keep inquiring on the timeline. Our tree is still leaning but I doubt I’ll be able to get any further fixes on this issue due to the amount of initial pushback.
The dining room, where the chef turns out tasty Southwestern fare, has soaring ceilings and wonderful views. Accommodations are in the main lodge or in individual cabins with terraces and private hot tubs. The style leans toward Native American rugs and prints, lace curtains, terra-cotta tile or hardwood floors, and stenciled walls. A seven-night minimum stay is required in the summer; adults-only weeks are available in the fall. Discover a magical Colorado ranch experience when you stay at The Home Ranch.
Hiking, biking, and fishing:

They made us feel like family and are still to this day just as happy to see us one year later. It was a little slow but that is expected in the current climate so that’s just what it is .. The big leak a few weeks before closing was a big concern and the quality concern is 99.9% to do with door hanging .. The process itself was excellent and we worked with some great people who were very supportive all the way.. I like the overall quality of construction and the customer service provided throughout the process. There are specific design elements that I would recommend to have revisited.
The ranch's Children's Program takes all the stress out of planning fun for your kids as well, with day-long supervised activities such as rock climbing, nature hikes, capture-the-flag, barn dances, and campfires! The kids are sure to be begging you to come back by the end of your vacation. You won't be roughing it at this all-inclusive retreat, a high-end property set among towering stands of aspen north of Steamboat near Clark. With a magnificent fieldstone fireplace surrounded by plush leather armchairs and sofa, the main room couldn't be cozier.
The ranch sits on 500 acres of what was once agricultural land, and it’s surrounded by Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest and mountain peaks that reach up to 12,000 feet. In other words, The Home Ranch is encircled by preserved nature, making it ideal for hiking and horseback riding in the summer; and snowshoeing, light horseback riding, sleigh riding and cross-country skiing in the winter. Make your next family vacation something special at The Home Ranch. This exciting Colorado destination surrounds you with pristine natural landscapes, taking you far from the busy cities to a place where you can really reconnect. The kids will love learning how to ride horses right onsite, or just taking it easy at the outdoor pool.
You really want to take your time on planning your stay here—it's not something you'd want to do on a whim. Also, I'd opt for a cabin if you're able to, and if you're not up for horseback riding, fly fishing, and all of that, The Home Ranch can be an incredible yoga retreat. I liked how classic didn’t raise the price after the inflation of lumber prices.
I personally fixed two issues that the trades said would require tearing out garage trim and back yard stucco. Also, had to personally help the electrician fix a basement fixture that was never connected to the light circuit. Other unique dude ranch offerings include sleigh rides and trail rides in the snow. My instructor and I hardly ever saw anyone else as we weaved through silver-and-white aspen groves and open meadows packed with champagne powder.
We tried out just about everything, and the only things we encountered with an extra charge included alcohol , items bought in the gift shop, and on-site massages. Of course, you can add more to this list if you ask the ranch to arrange off-site activities, such as clay pigeon shooting, river rafting, hot air balloon rides, or gravity-based (lift-served) mountain biking at Steamboat. While exploring the property’s 20 miles of private groomed trails, I had some sense of how hard the horses have to work in the snow. I enjoyed nearly one-on-one attention from snowsports instructors during my first few attempts at Nordic skiing. One of the guests I met during my stay told me she picked The Home Ranch specifically because of how good its Nordic skiing trails are — and I couldn’t help but agree. As noted above, all-day rides are offered several times during the week, as well as a ‘Ride Fish Ride’ offering, which combines the two sports.
There I was, horseback riding with my eyes tightly shut. Cross-country, skate and back country skiing on the ranch. Arrange a trip to the mountains at the desk for downhill skiing. The young team of passionate gardeners aims to expand your palate and engage your taste buds with dozens of new varieties of greens, roots, squash, beans, tomatoes, peppers, and much more. Next to the recreation building in front of the lodge sits the hiking hut and the fishing hut.
One day during the week, wranglers invite guests to help them bring in the cattle from a distant pasture, and the week often culminates in a ‘rodeo’ of horse and cattle games in the arena. When those have been addressed to the warranty team, they minimalize it or say that's not a big deal. I spent a lot of money on this house and when there's things falling off or separating, that should be a big deal. The things that have been "fixed" almost made it worse. Kimberly in sales and Chris as a foreman are amazing but everyone else and everything else has been pretty subpar. Moon and his wife, Dawn, quite literally put on a performance for guests with a pre-dinner concert of their original tunes — many of which exalt the ranch’s natural surroundings.
