About this property

Secluded Ranch House on the Rio Grande River

Cross a charming railroad bridge to this welcoming cottage-style farmhouse, located on 200+ acres along the Rio Grande River. This one-of-a-kind property is a working cattle ranch and is family owned and operated. This secluded ranch is located minutes away from mountainous Del Norte, Colorado. Del Norte is home to delightful restaurants, distilleries, and breweries.
Around Del Norte, there are many scenic hikes, bike trails, kayaking, rafting, rock climbing, fishing, and skiing. A local enjoyment would be the "play wave" and an appealing river walk both just minutes away along the Rio Grande River. Scenes are unbelievable at this distinct river ranch. The curiosities of Wolf Creek Ski Area (35 minutes away) are one of many attractions surrounding this breathtaking area. Wolf Creek is known for "the most snow in Colorado." An hour away is The Great Sand Dunes National Park. This National Park has an enormous amount of places of interest including, hiking the dunes and exploring nearby Zapata Falls. With all the refreshing attractions, sites, and landscapes we hope you will find your stay relaxing and enjoyable.

I appreciated Aubrey's communication once we were checked in. The newly renovated bathrooms are beautiful! It was nice to be welcomed by a herd of elk out in the pasture and greeted in the morning by deer eating in the field. Thank you for sharing your ranch house with us!

The host was so accommodating. The property was clean and the cows were an added bonus! The only concern we had was the step down was not marked and my husband missed the step with the sun in his eyes.

Very clean with the exception of a strong mold/mildew smell and soft spots in the floor in the master bath. Spoke with host and it’s next on the list to get updated. Enjoyed watching the deer in the back and side yard. Lots of open room so it never felt cramped. Comfy bed and furniture.
