About this property

EXPERIENCE COLORADO’s AT ITS BEST @ CIRCLE J RANCH - 200 ACRES OF PRIVATE BEAUTY

Secluded, fully remodeled ranch home nestled in the forest about 1.5 miles off the highway with great access with the only sound being heard is the wind blowing through the ponderosa pines. The 200 acre private property is surrounded by National Forest service land with over 100 miles of adjoining ATV/ UTV trails, abundant wildlife that live or pass through the property (deer, elk, badgers, bears, turkey, squirrels, rabbits, ducks and geese are all seen regularly) and 10+ miles of private mountain biking/ hiking trails on site. The daytime views of Pikes Peak and the night-time stargazing is amazing on a moonless night, the view of the Milky Way on a clear night is spectacular.
With so much to do on the property and amazing sunshine, perfect summer time temperatures and endless activities on the ranch all in perfect comfort. You and your family can hike, mountain bike, explore the native and mining history, frisbee golf, climb, shoot and in 2026 paddleboard, kayak, fish all on the very private property. It’s like having a whole resort to yourself.
The home was completely remodeled in 2023 and has a modern farmhouse open concept design that includes 7 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and can sleep up to18 people. This property was once part of the historical town of Hayman, Colorado with lots of 19th century western cowboy history. The now ghost town of Hayman has 3 remediated mines on the property, 2 run down cabins with an old stove inside, multiple foundations/ root cellars, leftover supplies in spots and includes part of the Gottlieb Fluhman ranch (Gottlieb was murdered in the nearby Death Cave https://www.coloradocentralmagazine.com/really-happened-gottlieb-fluhmann/) allegedly by a Benjamin Ratcliff who later hung for murdering two members of the local school board in 1895.

Next to the property is the M Lazy C ranch (https://mlazyc.com) where you can pay the owners of the M Lazy C extra for if available guided horseback riding, pay a fee for chuckwagon dinners, guided hunting/ guided trout fishing on a Gold Medal stretch of the South Platte. Also nearby is Eleven Mile Reservior (kayaking, paddle boarding, sail-boarding, windsurfing, fishing, more mountain biking & hiking), Florissant Fossil Beds (fossilized trees and nearby private fossil hunting and hiking), Buena Vista (ropes course, hot springs, white water rafting, zip lining), Breckenridge & Monarch (golfing, scenic mountain town, shopping, skiing, etc) as well as Pikes Peak (drive or take the train), Santa's North Pole (Kids themed amusement park), Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs with Garden of the Gods, Native American dwellings, Cave of the Winds and amazing golf at the Broadmoor.

For the ultimate Colorado Vacation full of rest/ relaxation, exploration and high adventure bring your family and stay at the Circle-J Ranch at Elk Mountain

Beautiful property. Very quiet and remote which made for a very relaxing stay. Rooms were comfortable. Kitchen pretty well stocked. Really appreciate having two sets of laundry machines to use. Fireplace made for a cozy environment. Reason I took off a star was this is not as pet friendly as advertised. Pets only allowed in garage and the garage was freezing. Host however was accommodating to allow our small elderly dogs to sleep inside in the crate provided.

The house was great - we were there for our daughter's wedding weekend, and had some family/friends staying with us, then our family and 2 grandchildren for our last night. Property sleeps a lot of people comfortably, is great with young kids, and is also comfortable just for hanging out. And it's a beautiful property and setting! If you're going to be out in that area, I'd definitely recommend it.

Very nice place. Very clean with plenty of beds. Not crazy about all the metal chairs for dining table and bar - hard on the bottom.Did not have access to the pond and that was a big disappointment.

Nice Home for a Large family

We traveled with a family of 17 people. The home was secluded from others, nature was beautiful. The home had plenty of sleeping areas for all, nice spacious bathrooms, plenty of hot water, pots and pans, dishes, silverware and a grill. Lovely place to stay with a large family. Lots to do, see and discover on the property.

Super place for adventure

This place is a wonderful place for families to make memories. The older kids did a lot of hiking and exploring. We would have liked to fish but that wasn't available. the young ones Loved the trampoline and playset. The only downside would be that if it is really really hot outside, the bedrooms could be a little warm. They have fans in each room but some didn't quite do the trick. Overall it was a really nice place.

Family Vacation

Location was beautiful and remote. We hiked the property and did ATV rentals right down the road at the MLazyC Ranch. Also did guided fly fishing with Tumbling Trout just 4 miles from the house. The house itself is great. It has been updated and is very comfortable. We had plenty of room for our extended family of 13 ages 5 to 70!

Wonderfully secluded property!

Beautiful property secluded on hundreds acres of Colorado wilderness. The place seemed new, very clean and well decorated with every imaginable amenity. But nothing could match the beautiful snow covered forests and meadows surrounding the house. Perfect for a large family reunion if you desire some peace and quiet. We will definitely be renting again for spring or summer.

Our family gathering of 13 including 5 children under 5 loved this property. The layout is great for large groups not getting in each other’s way, the rooms are well lit, the kitchen well-stocked with food prep and table service items, the Wi-Fi’s strong throughout the property, the beds are comfy, the showers large with plenty of hot water, and two laundry rooms come in handy for cleaning up after all of the area’s activities. The owners made it easy to enjoy the house by providing more than the normal VRBO’s amount of paper products and waste bags, and the TV was easy to connect our devices to. The playground and trampoline were in great condition and the well-marked trail around the property was a great place for us to teach the grand kids trail hiking skills. I did miss in the property description that there wasn’t A/C in the house and it did get warm in the house midday but by evening with the windows open and the fans going the house cooled down for great mountain sleeping temps. This property worked well for our family!

Everything You Need

We were a large group of 21 with 16 staying at the house and 5 staying nearby. We were together for lunch and supper and there was so much room and dishes for us all. This is seriously the best stocked home. Whatever you need (Ninja blender, waffle maker, griddle, hand mixer) they had. This was the first vacation where everyone unplugged by choice. Our kids (4yrs - 22yrs) didn't ask about watching TV or playing video games. There's just so much to do on the property or nearby. We did a lot of exploring and it was always something new due to the property size and proximity to federal land. It was beyond beautiful and so peaceful. The quality, design, and care of the home made it hard to leave. It was an amazing vacation!
