About this house rental
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 house was exactly what we were hoping it would be. So much room to spread out, it was great for my sister, me, and the kids. It was clean, no bugs, perfect temps, and had everything we needed. The beds and pillows were amazing. The wrap around porch with the view of the mountains was breathtaking. It was so relaxing and peaceful. We loved sitting outside with our coffee in the mornings, watching and listening to the critters. We both had a hummingbird come up to our face each morning. Squirrels, chipmunks, and we heard a moose close by. They have trails marked with a map when you get there and have put in so much work into making them fun. The only thing we had issues with, was the grill, but I text Brandie and she came right over and got it started. We had great weather for watching shooting stars, and some incredible thunderstorms. I can’t say enough great things about this place and Brandie. We hated to leave!

When we walked in we were blown away. It was large, beautifully decorated, clean and very comfortable. The surrounding landscape was awe inspiring. Kris, Michael and Brandie couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. The kitchen was well stocked and the tv even had Netflix! And the dogs were friendly and fun to be around. I cannot recommended Quartz Ranch highly enough.

Our stay at this property was absolutely delightful. It is off the beaten path, which is exactly what we were looking for. The home is stocked with all the things you might need. The owners even let us borrow their crockpot for easy meals! We enjoyed the path around the property, sunrises and sunsets on the porch, and nearby hiking at Hidden Treasure. It was the perfect mountain getaway we were looking for!

A wonderful older home on an even more wonderful property. We had every intention of getting out and exploring the area, the desire to leave left us the moment we arrived. The incredible wrap around deck adds a level of nostalgia that you don’t experience often anymore. The tranquility of the forest offers endless relaxation and entertainment from the wildlife and views. We were lucky enough to have bouts of rain roll through to add a natural soundscape to our reading. Fantastic views! Our two old senile pups turned into Lewis & Clark on our little walks in the woods. We did see a moose so leashes are a must! Communication was very responsive. All around loved this property and will be back!
