  • We had a reservation to stay at the Tomcat Ranch for my son's R&R from his deployment in Iraq. Due to complications post surgery we were unable to keep our reservation. Mike and Holly could not have been more kind or understanding to our problem. My family is looking forward to spending our future vacation at the ranch and meeting their family. Thanks Mike & Holly, hope to visit soon!! The Rambo Family

  • Buena Vista is a favorite vacation spot, which we've enjoyed coming to for years. Tomcat Ranch made our latest vacation even better. From the guest house ranch, you're surrounded by beautiful views; Sunrise, sunset, stars and Milky Way, wildlife, mountains in every direction. Tomcat Ranch is a sprawling area with forests on rising terrain, ponds and streams, meadow. We wandered for hours on the trails of the ranch, in the mornings and evenings. We had it all to ourselves. It's like having your own private National Forest. Mike and Holly made us feel like the guest house was ours for the duration. They made sure we were happy with the accommodations, yet gave us privacy you'll never get in any hotel. The guest house is secluded and quiet. At night, we watched the stars from the front porch, and felt like we were miles from civilization; no city lights, no noise. Yet it was a short drive to Buena Vista for dining and supplies, and very well located for accessing all the wonderful hiking and climbing in the area. The guest house is well appointed, comfortable and clean. Mike and Holly have done a great job of maintaining the house. It was as if we moved into someone's home. We could have stayed for months and been very happy. We would book the guest house again for a family vacation, and recommend it without hesitation. Thanks Mike and Holly for a wonderful visit.

  • We wanted a beautiful outdoor spot for a family memorial, combined with a reunion. The Tomcat Ranch fit the bill! Mike and Holly were so willing to let us use their gorgeous property in ways that suited our special needs. We had a meaningful service and picnic at the lakeside log cabin. Could not have asked for a more personalized stay!

  • Mike and Holly went out of their way to make our stay one of a kind. After realizing there was so much to do at the ranch, we canceled some of our day trips and spent the days hiking trails and enjoying the countryside. With 1,514 pictures, and a couple of sunburns, we have a lot to remind us of our trip. Making great friends along the was the icing on the cake. We recommend the Tom Cat Ranch for anyone with a will to hike and a sense of adventure. +++++

  • We have stayed at the Guest House several times and each time it was fantastic! It's a terrific combination of seclusion and great views but nonethess very accessible from Buena Vista. And Mike and Holly are the perfect hosts. We're building a home in the valley and already have booked three weeks at the Guest House in 2008!

  • We have stayed here three times in three years. We've been to Colorado many times and everyone in our family agrees that this is the very best place with the very best accomodations and the very best view! We'll be back again. We love the privacy of the 300-acre ranch. The fishing's great and the mountain views are spectacular!
