As with all vacations there is a certain amount of risk that your expectations are met.  Colorado Dude Ranches primarily lend themselves to nose to tail riding and guests are pampered.  We at the Colorado Cattle Company are just as concerned that you are made to feel special.  After your ride every day you can expect to come home to the main house for your meals and relax.  We also have an indoor heated pool for your enjoyment as well as a dry sauna and hot tub at your disposal.  Every Friday we have a professional masseuse to help with any aches and pains.  I have to say that if Dude ranches are what people call our operation it would have to be called a Working Dude Ranch.
     Ladies and Gentlemen:  You will never experience a place like this.  Have you ever sat on a horse on the top of a bluff and could see forever?  The beauty of the topography at different times of the day is overwhelming; not to say the double rainbows we see when storms come and go.  You may want to bring your telescopes if you are star gazers.  Nights here are so peaceful and the sky is compounded with stars and the view of our universe.  Wow...said one guest...I had no idea!  
     Mountain prairie life is something everyone should experience.  How lucky we are to live here and share it with you.  Giddy up...your western saddle and horse are waiting for you.  
     A colorado ranch vacation is a very memorable time for people all over the world.  The Colorado Cattle Company ranch is located in a very peaceful and isolated area.  Our guests just marvel at the serenity we offer.
     Jim Turner from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina says "Without a doubt, the most enjoyable week in my 66 years of life!  You have a wonderful staff that makes everyone feel at home.  I will be back.
     Jaye Asher from New Zealand says"I cried when I turned my horse out.  She taught me a lot.  Loved the pace!  The schedule was real not fake.
     Hilary Breakey of Ireland Says "Fabulous food.  Excellent top class cowboys.  Had a fabulous week.  Everyone so helpful and friendly.  Staff went out of their way to please us."
     Jennifer Dittemore of Fisher, Indiana says"It was the perfect vacation for me, I loved it!  Exceeded my expectations scenery was spectacular.  The staff made it feel like family.  Thank You!"  
     Gerard Boyle from Ireland says "I swear I never had so many God Damn lumps in my throat.  You guys really know how to make a grown man cry.  I loved the place, people and experience.  a man once told me to do things you like doing with the people you like doing them with, in the place you like doing them in.  This was it!"
     A Colorado Guest Ranch experience will be an adventure you will remember forever.  Our guests are so home sick for the ranch after they leave.  They post comments and pictures of their stay on facebook, send us thank you cards and email us about how much they enjoyed their stay.  We are proud to say that we have many return guests including a German woman who has come back every year since her first and stays for four weeks.  Yes indeed...we are a growing family.
