The Ranch Experience - Escape, Explore, Exhale
Step into Red Tail River Ranch, your personal sanctuary in the heart of Colorado. This 22-acre retreat, nestled among the scenic mountains of Shawnee, invites you to experience the calm and restorative tranquility of nature. The ranch offers a refined balance of outdoor adventure and quiet indulgence, welcoming you to fully experience everything it has to offer. It is also an elevated and intimate setting for weddings and small celebrations, where river views, open skies, and mountain backdrops create a truly unforgettable atmosphere. Here, every moment is meant to be fully embraced, whether you are seeking adventure, relaxation, or simply a chance to slow down and reconnect with yourself. Our expansive grassy pasture is alive with wildlife, from deer, elk, and fox to mountain sheep, while eagles, hawks, and other native birds soar overhead. If you love fishing, you will appreciate having access to a gold medal stretch of river just steps away. Guests who enjoy outdoor activities can also explore our developing disc golf course, which combines a fun and thoughtful challenge with stunning, panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and river valley. After a day spent exploring or celebrating, melt into the hot tub beneath a canopy of stars or take a serene, moonlit stroll along the river. Every detail of Red Tail River Ranch has been thoughtfully curated to offer privacy, comfort, and effortless luxury. Come experience the refined beauty, peaceful rhythm, and timeless serenity of Colorado at its finest.

Kristen has a lovely home, with all the amenities you could want (fire pit, hot tub, etc.). The price was well worth it as the location is close to many mountain towns and it’s a large house too with plenty of beds.

Amazing house to spend Christmas with my family. Kristen put up a tree and we were very comfortable the entire time. Everything was clean and functional! GREAT WATER PRESSURE! Overall a great experience for anyone looking for a spacious house to accommodate a large group and be surrounded by nature and fresh air. I would recommend 10/10! Kristen was super nice and helpful and we had absolutely ZERO issues! Easy check out. 0 complaints! THANK YOU!

This home was warm, comfortable, and welcoming! Our family (8 adults, 3 children ages 13, 11, and 1) stayed here for 4 days to celebrate Thanksgiving, with more than ample space for all of us.
The added little touches from the labels on the kitchen drawers and cabinets (SO HELPFUL!), to bathroom amenities (soap, lotion, shampoo, conditioner, earplugs, cotton balls and swabs), to the charging cords and multiple outlets throughout the hose, added to the beauty of this home. Kristen was extremely responsive and wonderful to work with. She provided suggestions on places to eat, shop (King Soopers was my choice) and things to do. We took the kids (and most of the adults) to the Sasquatch Outpost for a fun outing one afternoon.
All in all, this place is definitely worth staying at! Our family is already talking about planning another visit in the next couple of years!

Incredible. Staying here was healing and a gift to our family. We felt at home. It is beautiful! The host was available and kind. It was impeccably clean and warm. Full of small details that were above and beyond but so appreciated. A wonderful spot for our family to stay. I hope to come back soon. Can’t say enough how amazing our experience was at this mountain retreat. A blessing.
