About this space

A landmark historic ranch, being brought back to life by our family who operates a holistic animal rescue and sanctuary, where hens, ducks, horses and a llama are loved like family. Once a lettuce and cattle farm, nestled below the towering 14er Mt. Princeton and Collegiate Peaks, the historic big barn and original bunkhouse boast a feel of nostalgia and the simple life.
