The ultimate vacation getaway! Your private log home is on a beautiful 40 acre horse ranch just 10 minutes from Crested Butte, the coolest little mountain resort in Colorado. The huge honey colored logs, vaulted ceilings, gorgeous views of mountains and pastures make you want to nestle in. The wrap-around porch and decks invite you outside to relax on the porch swing or curl up with a book in the creek-side hammock.
The huge master bedroom has a log king-bed and private living room. It also has an exercise area with weights and treadmill. The couch in the master makes into a queen-bed for extra guests or children if needed. The hot tub is just two steps out your door.
The upstairs bedroom has a 100 year old brass bed with roll top desk and seating area. It also has a day-bed and trundle-bed for extra guests or children. The balcony deck is perfect for secluded sunrise coffee overlooking the pastures and down valley views.
Summer: Bring your own horses (or we will arrange) and ride the trails of more than 1 million acres of the 3 most spectacular wilderness areas in the Rockies. Meditate in the midst of the hillside aspen grove at the back of the ranch or your private ridge top overlooking the property and serene valley below. Hike among the wild flowers and evergreens up the steep 11,000 ft mountain right in your back yard. Stillness speaks here... Relax and watch the longhorn calves romp in the lush pastures. Ease into the evening sunset in the large outdoor hot-tub, then enjoy the cool night before a cracking fire. (Many other outdoor activities and sports too numerous to list here).
Winter: Enjoy the greatest little ski town in Colorado. Soak away the days activities in the private hot tub then relax in the comfort of a roaring fire and walk around barefoot enjoying the in-floor heat. Cross-country ski on the ranch or ski & snowboard on the mountain. Snow-mobile, ice-fish or just enjoy the glistening blanket of crystalline snow covering and quieting the most beautiful high altitude valley in Colorado.
The dinning rooms huge log table and chairs easily seat a large family and the kitchen bar seats any overflow. Step out to the deck off the dinning room and enjoy the BBQ and seating area or even eat on the deck and take in the sunny southern views.

We, two couples, have so enjoyed our 2 vacations at the Longhorn Ranch, we are anxious to get back next summer. The house is beautiful and so cozy. Although we love to dine at the great restaurants in Crested Butte, it's nice to have such a great kitchen, dining room, deck, etc. to have a night at "home". The access to fishing, hiking and town is great, and it's wonderful to return after a long day of activities to Longhorn Ranch.Recommended for: Girls getaway, age 55+, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, sightseeing, families with young children, families with teenagers.
