About this property

Mountain Views, Edge of Wilderness, Pet Friendly, Close to Lake Granby!

"I had no idea that this beautiful corner of Colorado existed! The ranch is located in a private, serene and just-remote-enough location. Views outstanding. Wildlife is abundant. We saw bear, moose and deer. There are amenities for every level of camper, from "I don't camp, give me a vacation house" to tent camping. Store was handy, bar is adorable and serves great drinks, swimming hole a nice surprise, great hiking nearby, lots of on property entertainment as well. A true gem!" Sara - Google Reviews

It was clean but could have been a little bit better cleaned, which no big deal as there’s lots of properties to maintain. It was fun to stay there as there was fishing and hiking trails near, a beautiful lake close. The drive to town and back was scenic so picturesque.

About the host

Host profile image
Arapaho Valley Ranch is a gorgeous, family-owned guest ranch in Colorado’s beautiful Grand County. Our ranch is surrounded by the Arapaho National Forest and is nestled in one of the most beautiful wilderness areas in the Indian Peaks Wilderness. This area features hiking trails, waterfalls, and historic steam engines from the old town of Monarch. We have a private hiking trail that leads to our “kissing swing” overlooking the headwaters of the Colorado River Valley.
