Colorado Mountain Ranch

My husband and I got married at the Colorado Mountain Ranch one week ago and we cannot stop talking about how magical and amazing our day was! From the first time we set foot on the Colorado Mountain Ranch’s property we were in love! The energy of this place is tangible. A little over a year before our wedding day, Josie gave us a tour of the property and shared a little bit of the family history with us. I instantly connected with Josie and her loving spirit and contagious energy. We were lucky enough that the Walker Family agreed to host us and all of our family and friends for our big day! We cannot thank them enough! The entire Walker Family and their staff made us feel welcome from the day we first met them. They were super responsive to all of our questions and inquiries about our big day and had us and our families up multiple times before the wedding day to walk around the venue and reconnect with it. Gail became our main point of contact as the wedding drew closer, helping us plan our big day, recommending vendors and giving advice when we asked for it. She shared a lot of the Ranch’s history with us when we came to visit this past March and my husband and I really appreciated her openness and getting to know more about beautiful Ranch and the Walker family. On our wedding day, the Ranch had the most wonderful and helpful staff on hand! Maddy was the most visible of the staff and was so helpful to all of our vendors, day-of-coordinator, family and friends. I met her a few times over the course of the night and I was so grateful for all of her hard work and kindness. At the end of the night, the entire staff helped us clean up and get everything back in order. They were all absolutely amazing! One of their staff members even rescued us from the side of the road when our shuttle bus broke down taking us back down the mountain after the wedding. He squeezed eight of us in his truck, no questions asked and graciously gave us a ride. I cannot thank him enough for his kindness to us on our wedding night! (Advice: use the Colorado Mountain Ranch’s shuttles!!) We received so many compliments from all of our guests for our breathtaking choice of venue. We want to extend our most genuine and sincere thank you to all of the Walker Family and Colorado Mountain Ranch Staff for hosting us and allowing us to have the most amazing venue for our wedding day! You guys will always have a very special place in our hearts.

I was so very fortunate and lucky enough to have been able to attended super camp here throughout grade school, and to this day I tell people that it changed my life!!! It’s worth the hike up for your kids to have experiences you won’t be able to find anywhere else in the world with life long core memories that build good character. I HIGHLY recommend enrolling your kids here even if it’s for one week day camp, or a focus group. I also LOVE that it’s been operating for over 70 years by the same family running it today. You won’t find anywhere else that has not only a turn key, organized, professional establishment but that’s run by heart, soul, love for the outdoors, community, respect for one another, and tradition.

We had the pleasure of having our September wedding at The Colorado Mountain Ranch. Our experience was nothing short of fabulous. From the beginning Gail and Lynn made the entire booking and planning process a breeze. We opted for the Blue Spruce package which included use of the outdoor Amphitheater overlooking Longs Peak for the ceremony and the classic Ponderosa Log Lodge for the reception. A Bridal and Groom's Suite was also available. The ranch even sets up a ceremony site inside at the top of the lodge should the weather take a turn. Not only is the space simply gorgeous but the team is so accommodating. I didn’t feel the need to do too much decorating as the lodge and outdoor amphitheater truly are lovely on their own. The lodge recently made upgrades inside and out, most notably the large porch w/ phenomenal panoramic views which made a perfect spot for our guests to enjoy hors d'oeuvres, cocktails, and live music. Tables and benches were provided as well as tables for gifts, favors, the wedding cake, the buffet and hors d'oeuvres. The ranch worked directly with our vendors answering questions and giving direction. Because the planning process was so smooth, the actual day of our wedding, I was so relaxed, because I had full faith in the Colorado Mountain Ranch. The Walker’s are dedicated to seeing that everyone has a great time and falls in love with their home! Friends and family are still talking about love and positive energy that was felt at The Colorado Mountain Ranch! Thank you for the most unique wedding experience. We will never forget our magical day! We are so grateful! xo, The McLaren's

I felt a little nervous to send our children to camp here because the day felt so long (8am-5pm). However, our kids come home from camp every day absolutely glowing and chatting a hundred words a minute about how much they love this place, the counselors, the horses, and mountain boarding. Our experience here has been absolutely incredible and I have no doubt we will be back many, many summers to enjoy this stunning and thoughtful program.

My boys (11 and 15 year old) went to the summer camp for the 1st time and absolutely loved it. They loved the activities, they loved the stuff. This might just become a tradition;) Thank you Colorado Mountain Ranch for an amazing experience and memories!
