Circle J Ranch - 200+ acres of private Colorado experiences for family & friends

Circle J Ranch is the perfect Colorado FAMILY REUNION destination.  It sits on 200+ acres at 8400 feet of beautiful Colorado mountain landscape with private mountain, meadows, pond/ lake, springs visited daily by elk, deer and classic Colorado history.  A gorgeous family ranch for 60+ years it has a conservation easement to preserve this perfect summer and winter destination with 300+ days of sunshine a year.  This beautiful ranch is surrounded by the Pike National Forest on 3 sides. 

So much classic Colorado history took place here. The ghost town of Hayman, CO still has a large stove and foundations with 3 reclaimed mines where Copper and desperate searches for gold and silver never worked out for those risk taking immigrants. This is also the prior home of Gottleib Fluhman, the Swiss rancher murdered in the nearby Death Cave potentially by the volatile Benjamin Radcliffe. Some say Gottleib still wanders the property searching for his favorite lost cows whom he all named.

The home was remodeled in 2023, the open concept home includes 7 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and can sleep 18 people. Nestled in the mountains, this property was once the historical town of Hayman and contains breathtaking views of Pike's Peak, 10 miles of private hiking and biking trails and numerous ruins to be explored. This is the perfect place to truly escape the busyness of life.

We take your safety and security seriously and this property has special local compliance requirements of a signed rental agreement, ID verification and a $40 damage waiver (covers accidental breaks, mishaps, due its rural location and extravagant extras, repairs are quite expensive and we hate charging guests for simple). 

To make this easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.



Your guest portal includes advertisements with third-party upgrades that you may want to enhance your stay.
