If you want to escape the city, why pick a house in side-by-side suburbia? Seasons of stunning surroundings await you! Come see our wildflower meadows bursting with a rainbow of color in the late spring and summer, aspen groves painted in gold, yellow and red in the fall, and trails through the woods blanketed in white for you to snowshoe in the winter. All these photos are ON THE RANCH, not "nearby" like so many listings post. Take a lovely walk on one of our several trails right out the back door.
Location: Just 3 miles up the hill from Black Hawk (casinos, fine dining!), it is consistently a 75 minute drive from DIA. It is 2.5 miles to Black Hawk's brand new Hidden Treasure mountain bike trailhead, and of course all of the Indian Peaks Wilderness trailheads are just minutes north on the Peak to Peak Highway. Interstate 70 is 20 minutes to the south. The closest 2 ski areas are Loveland to the south and Eldora to the north. Rocky Mountain National Park is a 40 mile trip north up the Peak to Peak Scenic Byway, a spectacular drive.
IMPORTANT: 4WD/AWD AND GOOD SNOW TIRES REQUIRED OCT. 10 - MAY 10 unless otherwise advised. Message us any time for current conditions.
The Talley House: The house is the 50-year-old original home on the ranch. It has 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom upstairs, a bedroom with a brand new bathroom downstairs, along with spacious living, dining room and den areas. The kitchen has new appliances. It is surrounded on three sides with large outdoor deck areas.
The house is next to the barn, the green house, and the caretaker's house, so you will see the owners and the caretaker, with our many dogs working in the barn and around the property while you are here. We are busy making and marking trails, building fences, taking care of the constant fire-mitigation work, and restoring this 50-year-old house, barn and ranch that we have been blessed with.

This property was perfect for what we were looking for. It feels remote yet only 5 minutes from downtown Black Hawk. The house was older but had the essential updates and was very clean. We were there mid April and lucky enough to get an inch or so of snow. The host was extremely responsive throughout the process.
Our host Kristen is wonderful. The ranch being a larger acreage has a feel of isolation. The views are great and the home has a comfortable feel with a great table for playing games.
We had a lovely stay. Host was very communicative. Easy to find with the directions provided. Nice, big comfy space for us. Beautiful views, comfortable beds and linens and everything we needed to have a fun filled visit.
Excellent location, friendly owners and caretaker. Was nice to get out into nature but still be close enough to town to get a bite to eat or stock up on supplies.
It was wonderfully quiet and cozy. We had so much fun exploring the property and being visited by 3 moose. Kris was excellent with communication and the property was very clean.
The listing was exactly as pictured! The location is unbeatable and the hosts were communicative and responsive to anything we needed. You definitely feel like you’re in the mountains! For a taste of the simple, mountain life, this place was perfect.
This was the perfect spot to enjoy the end of Fall between some work and play in the Denver area. Very clean, great bathroom downstairs, and very spacious. Really enjoyed walking the peaceful property and breathing in the fresh mountain air.
We had an amazing stay at Quartz Point Ranch. Host was amazing and answered any questions we had quickly! Views were beautiful from the home, and we even got to see and mother and baby moose on the road to the house.
It is as described, lovely outside of Blackhawk. The view is gorgeous. The rooms were spacious. The host were available if needed. I definitely would stay here again.
Very communicative and helpful! Perfect for our needs! Only recommendation is buy food prior to arriving as nearest grocery is at least 20 minute drive. Love the quiet!
We had a great week-long stay at Quartz Point Ranch! The house was quite large and comfortable, and had everything we needed to cook a big Thanksgiving meal. We really enjoyed exploring the property as well. Kris, Mike and Brandi were all so welcoming and we felt at home. Would definitely recommend a stay here!

Thank you guys so much for being terrific guests. We were sad to see you go! Glad you got to see the baby moose and a spectacular fall.
Great weekend at quartz ranch, hiking , fall colors were amazing, we even saw moose outside on the patio. Accommodations were great. Plenty of room for a family of 6 to spread out!

So glad you enjoyed yourselves and got to see the twin baby moose!
Removed from the hustle and noise of the city yet convenient. Missed being able to use the hot tub. Lots of stairs to consider if have any trouble with stairs. Our group had 2 with leg issues but we managed
Great views and expansive property for hiking and exploring. You might even see a moose! Comfortable beds and well stocked kitchen. Kris (owner) is very responsive to questions. Would definitely stay again.
My Family and I LOVED our stay in Black Hawk CO at Quartz Point Ranch!!
Brandie, Kristen and Michael were very friendly and made us feel at home!!
We also feel in love with Penny and Bow (hopefully spelled correctly)!!
We learned alot about the land,wild life and people of CO.
We will definately be back!!
I loved my stay here. I brought my 2 dogs and we would walk the property each morning and evening enjoying the quiet and wildlife (rabbits, chipmunks, moose, BEAR!). The house was roomy and the owners have obviously put a lot of love into all the details. It is close to some great hiking areas and cool CO towns like Nederland. Been gone a day and already want to go back!

Thanks so much for coming and leaving the place in perfect shape. So sorry I didn't get to meet your pups. Brandie said they were really cute and sweet!
We stayed at the Quartz Point Ranch to celebrate my husband's birthday, and the property made for the perfect retreat. The views are stunning, the property had lots of area to explore, and the home was stocked with everthing we needed (and then some). There were numerous thoughtful touches that truly made this feel like our home away from home. The caretaker and owners were very kind, and communication was excellent. We would love to stay again.

We're so glad you had a great stay! And thank you for your patience with the hail snafu :)
Perfect getaway. We ate. We watched movies. We ate more. We watched football. We napped off and on. Our pup loved exploring too!
