This place was great. We had some friends visit Colorado and we wanted to give them a remote feel away from the city. This was the place! Communication, check-in, and check out were easy. The place had all the supplies you needed to make it a comfortable stay (enjoy the micro zester I accidentally left behind lol). It was a great place to stay and we’ll be back. Note, it would be helpful to have a rugged vehicle to reach the cabin and explore the scenery as the dirt road it’s on can be a little rocky in places. Also, bring all necessarily food with you as town isn’t a quick trip away.

Jo is Great!

Was allowed to check in a little early which helps when your traveling long distance. Once we figured out the flow of the place was easy to enjoy and really did not have any issues or need anything that was not there for us. Maybe mention that both buildings are included with the Bath House for showering and washing dishes and another beautiful spot to enjoy the view! Loved It to the point where I wish we could do it all over again, even my four hunting friends were impressed and every day mentioning how great a place we found for our hunting trip! Many Thanks Jo, you have a gem of a place. Russ

You MUST book this place

If you’re looking for a beautiful, remote location to be in the mountains and still have shelter, this is your place. My friends and I stayed here in June ‘23 to get away from the city. The house has everything you need - tons of sleeping areas, kitchen utensils, and a very clean bath house. It has a sense of nostalgia in its presence, like going to summer camp as a kid. The host/property manager were wonderful and great communicators! There were maps of the surrounding areas with local trails and things to do as well, fire pit/firewood available for use and filled water jugs right next to it. They really thought of everything. I absolutely will be returning to this space in the future it was so lovely and relaxing. The road to get there is a bit tricky so definitely would recommend a vehicle that sits higher up. Our Subaru made it fine but anything lower would’ve been tricky. Overall, amazing amazing amazing stay!! You won’t regret booking this!

“Camping” in the Rocky Mountain back country with MOST of the comforts of home

First of all, 360 degrees view of unmatched Rocky Mountain beauty. Second, the seclusion of a back country campsite with most of the comforts of home. Miles and miles of view and not one point of artificial light visible at night. Normally, you would have to hike miles and sleep in a tent to find this kind of beauty and seclusion. Last but not least, an incredibly responsive owner and property manager. We had a maintenance issue and had a repair person standing at the door an hour and a half later. Incredible when you consider where this property is located. (We had decent AT&T cell service and decent internet in the bath house.) You probably need to be a bit of a camper to fully appreciate what you are getting here. If you are, go here if you get a chance. Yes you will need a high clearance vehicle to get there.

We had a wonderful and memorable stay at The Goddard Ranch. The setting is serene and peaceful with beautiful views, and everything was very clean upon our arrival. The location was perfect for our needs, allowing us to ride the trails directly from the property and remain close to family camping nearby. The only minor drawback we experienced was the bathhouse situation; having the facilities in a separate building and needing to take dishes there to clean them was a bit inconvenient. However, we would definitely stay here again.Jo was an amazing host and communicated in a timely manner.

If you're looking for a place to get away, and I mean get away, from the hustle and bustle, the Goddard Ranch is a fantastic place to do it. The road in requires a vehicle with some ground clearance, and due to a lack of cell phone coverage, it's a good idea to have the host's instructions printed or on your phone to make the check-in smooth. We came in after dark, which complicated finding the place and getting settled, but that was on us. The location is amazing with beautiful views and is very remote. There are two separate structures as described, with the main house used for cooking and hanging out and the bath house used for bathrooms, showers, internet and cleaning dishes. Be prepared to go outside at night to cross over to the bathhouse when you need to use the bathroom. It's similar to being at a campground and going to a detached restroom when needed. If you're good with a very small amount of "roughing it", it's a pure Colorado experience that we really enjoyed!
