Message from the Owner:

What do you love about your home?
"We love the beautiful views overlooking the golf course and out to the west. We also enjoy the close access to so much Granby has to offer: hitting the links at the Granby Ranch Golf course in the summer, or walking to the lift to hit the slopes in the winter. Rocky Mountain National Park, Lake Granby, and Winter Park Ski Resort and so much more are just short drives away. We can walk to the ski lift, to hiking/mountain biking trails. While it is close to the best of Grand County, it is a quiet neighborhood and a great place to relax."

What makes your home especially unique?
"Our home can accommodate multiple families with the two spacious living areas. It’s a great place to have guests and entertain!"
We are located remotely but will be happy to connect with you via email, text, or phone any time to ensure a smooth and enjoyable stay! We also have local resources standing by if needed.
Located just 25 minutes past Winter Park on highway 40, Granby Ranch is one of Colorado's best kept secrets. We chose this location due to the significant number activities available year-round and the relaxing atmosphere without the large crowds found at the larger resorts. Whether it's skiing, tubing, biking, golfing, fishing or just kicking back and relaxing, you can find it all here in Granby Ranch.

For those looking for a little more action outside, this home is just a half mile from the Ski Granby ski lifts. Granby Ranch is designed and operated with families in mind. It is widely regarded as one of the best areas in Colorado to learn to ski or ride on acres of beginner slopes. Trails of varying levels of difficulty and terrain all lead back to the base area, so family and friends can easily meet back at the same place.

For warm-season recreation, Granby Ranch also offers mountain biking, golfing, and fishing. You can use the lift to get your bike up the mountain or to start a hike from the top going down the many trails running throughout the Ranch. The Granby Ranch Golf Course offers 18 holes along the Fraser River. Our guests also have access to the heated pool, community hot tub, and fitness center at the base of the Resort.

A supermarket is just 5 minutes away. If you choose to dine out, a number of great restaurants and bars are nearby at Granby Ranch Base Camp, Silvercreek, and the town of Granby.

Granby Ranch is within a 15 to 30-minute drive to Lake Granby, Shadow Mountain Lake, Grand Lake, and Rocky Mountain National Park. Winter Park town and ski resort is less than 30 minutes away for more skiing, biking, and hiking. Hot Sulphur Springs Spa and Resort is also nearby for soaking in warm mineral springs. More recreational and spa activities are also close by at Devil’s Thumb Ranch and the YMCA’s Snow Mountain Ranch.

All short term renters staying in the home must purchase a $10 day pass via credit card at the Ranch Hall to use the facilities. Children 8 and under are free. The pass is good for the entire day. Renters must present documents that show they are staying in a full benefit member home in order to purchase a pass. A VRBO/Airbnb or any other type of reservation confirmation with the address of the home will work as proof.

Local trails: Granby Ranch is a little different from other ski resorts on federal land. Consisting of trails on primarily private land, all guests riding or hiking on either cross country trails or our lift-accessed downhill network must possess a valid pass or ticket product. Guests must also sign a waiver. Rates and tickets are available on the Granby Ranch website. One exception to this requirement is the Granby-to-Fraser trail, which does not require a pass or waiver.

**Please note that the Granby Ranch Pool and Hot Tub have been closed since fall of 2023 and will be until further notice due to mechanical issues. We recommend you contact Granby Ranch to see if it will reopen during your stay**
