About this property
Free Guided mountain walking tour with ranch stay
Staying at the Pioneer Room will take you back to days gone by! ITs a large one room unit and all the paneling is Tulip Poplar wood which we logged off our property and is the same type of tree the Pioneers would use for their first log home! The queen bed is made from recycled train tracks and old farm homes. There are pictures of covered wagons, Native Americans, parts of old tools and harness........great way to test your knowledge of times gone by. There is a futon which makes a full bed, so the Pioneer room easily will sleep up to 4 people, If you have more than 4 people please bring MATS and Sleeping bags. There is floor space for extra kids. Kitchen is fully equipped ( bring own food/paper towels) , air /heat or just open windows, smart tv and vcr with movies, private bathroom with tub jaccuzi and shower and private entrance with rockers to relax!

About the host
Hosted by Janice Tipton
Hello, my name is Janice and I love realizing the dream my late husband and I have created. Being able to meet amazing folks from all over the world and sharing my ranch, horses/critters, mountain riding tips and the joys of mountain living is very rewarding to me. It is so wonderful to be able to say that people come as guests and literally leave as friends! They give as much joy to me as what I try to create for them. When we bought the ranch in 1983, no one had lived here or worked the land for over 40 yrs. Just overgrown land is what we started with. Slowly but surely we cleared, logged, dug trails, built paddocks, barns, cabin and enjoyed the joys of mountains riding! And now myself and the Twin Valley Family wish to show you all the BEST time possible. I have worked several ranches in Co and also have a AAS in Horse Husbandry so I enjoy teaching and sharing my love of horses and the mountains to all.
