Your Mountain Escape -
Wake up to 360° gorgeous mountain views, while you watch for wandering wildlife. Reset your mind and body in the spacious 12’ swim spa or 300 sq ft private gym, featuring a two-person infrared sauna. Gather in the game room for friendly competition over pool, shuffleboard, or darts, or simply kick back and enjoy a movie, a drink, and good conversation. Step outside and enjoy three spacious outdoor patios, designed for dining, stargazing and taking in the fresh Colorado Mountain air. With 4 spacious bedrooms (two on the main level) and 3.5 baths, everyone has a comfortable place to spread out, settle in, and enjoy a little privacy. Thoughtfully designed spaces throughout the home make it just as easy to enjoy time together as it is to find a quiet corner of your own.

Things to note:

4-wheel drive or all-wheel drive may be required during winter months due to the elevation and home's gravel drive.

To preserve the peaceful atmosphere of the ranch and because of the natural terrain, wildlife and amenities throughout the property, Cougar Cañon Ranch is an adults-only retreat. We do not accommodate children or pets. This allows us to provide the quiet, relaxing mountain experience our guests come here to enjoy.
