This is Colorado! Stunning views, killer hot tub, 12 acres, game barn+huge deck!
If you are looking for nature and privacy in style, you have found the place. This three-story ranch includes five over-sized bedrooms, three bathrooms, a huge wrap around deck and multiple hang out areas on 12 private acres. The master bedroom, bathroom and second king bedroom are located on the upper level. The main level includes two bedrooms with king beds, a full bathroom, fireplace room, TV room, dining room and kitchen. A bunkbed/lounge room and bathroom suite with 5x5' rainforest shower is located on the lower level perfect for showering after a hot tub, hike or snowshoeing. There are no neighbors in sight. You have the mountain all to yourself! House includes: 4 king sized beds Bunk bed (full sized bottom bunk+ twin top bunk) Game Barn - totally private structure with 2 dart boards, poker table, mini-basketball, ping pong table Hot Tub (7 person) Dish TV and ViaSat WiFi. Gorgeous wood interior Beautiful mountain and forest views Lots of windows and natural light Bright starry sky Fresh air Wood fireplace/family room includes leather wrap around couch Local stone fireplace with access to load wood directly from outside Dining for 6 (expandable to 10), built in bar, kitchen includes a Jenn-air (luxury built in griddle/indoor grill) Grill is both propane and charcoal More than 3000 finished SF 1100 SF wrap around deck Washer/Dryer, SS double convection oven, SS microwave and dishwasher, side by side fridge
Enjoy a glass of wine and a good book in the fireplace room. Grill a juicy steak on the outdoor grill or on the indoor Jenn-air. Enjoy fresh morning pancakes and coffee while taking in the fresh air. Play board games with family. Get some fresh air while playing horseshoes, corn hole, or bocce ball on the property. Jump on the trampoline or test your skills on the slack line. Kids can enjoy a 150' zip line. Hot tub seats 7 and is perfect for star gazing with the family or a quiet romantic evening.
The ranch is perfect for a big family (or two family getaway); a Big Chill reunion of friends; a business team brainstorming getaway or a relaxing retreat after a Red Rocks concert. Nature is 360 and there are tons of nooks and crannies so everyone can have their private space if they want. We have poured our heart and soul into the Ranch and we are sure you will have a unique and memorable stay.
We are located about 20 minutes south of Conifer and 20 minutes north of Bailey. The nearest grocery store is located in Conifer or there is a Country Store (convenience items) liquor store, a gym and a restaurant about 10 minutes away.
Easy access to Guenella Pass, Bailey, Colorado Trail, Buffalo Creek and Staunton State Park, Wellington Lake
Note: AWD or 4x4 highly recommended in the winter. The access road has a grade for about 100 yards. It is plowed, but can be packed snow in a few shaded locations.

The owner was very responsive. The kitchen is stocked and the house was very clean. The place was absolutely amazing. It’s a great remote spot to stay. Lots of things to do at the house, we really enjoyed the game barn. If we get back to the area we would certainly stay here again.
Out family had such a blast, Sarah has stocked this rental as its own retreat, my grandkids had such a blast, not one time did we hear were bored, Thank you Sarah for going beyond what we were expecting, we will definitely be back
The Craig Ranch is the perfect spot for a family vacation in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. My husband, 3 grown kids , spouses and our 1 year old grandson had a wonderful time. We were welcomed to the neighborhood by a moose!
The home is in a beautiful remote location. That offers amazing views and opportunities to connect with nature. I am from Florida and was nervous not knowing what to expect but the host was easy to communicate with and was there if I needed anything. The home and area surrounding was so well maintained it made the stay even better. Highly recommend for any family looking to just get away from city life or ones just looking to connect more with nature.
We were very pleased with our stay, lots of activities to keep the kids busy. House was beautiful, breathe taking views and full of all of the things we needed. Property was centrally located and within an hours drive of lots of activites and places to hike, sightsee and shop. Highly recommended, we would absolutely return.
We had a nice time at this home, great secluded location, with nice views. The outdoor space and deck were great. Communication with the property owner is very easy and she answered any questions we had. Would definitely recommend!
The place was in a gorgeous mountain, very calm and away from the hustle and bustle. The house is very well equipped with games, activities, food and even a cool game room. It’s great for families with multiple age ranges. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful.
We spent Christmas at this wonderful home. We had a wonderful time, everything was perfect. Sarah had put a tree up for us. The house is stocked with everything we needed and more!! The game barn is so fun!! Hot tub on point. The view amazing.
The house was just as it was described in the listing. It was clean and very homey and comfortable. The kitchen had everything you could ever need. The internet worked great. The game room was amazing and this would be a great place for families. The host was so responsive and answered all our questions. We would love to go back again some day.
The only word that comes to mind is amazing. This place offered my grandchildren so many wonderful things to do. They had a blast. So much wildlife and the road to their place made coming and going spectacular. The beds were very comfortable and the home very accommodating and cozy. Not one complaint. Sarah is the perfect host and was super nice to talk to and communicate with. It was the perfect 7days and nights and SO happy I found her place.
Such an amazing property, with SO MUCH to do! We were set on doing two active days (Mt. Blue Sky, Meow Wolf, Etc.) and two chill days at the cabin. We had to encourage folks to leave the cabin! The hot tub, game barn, finding new bugs and rocks, relaxing on the deck with that amazing view. We have stayed at quite a few rental properties over the years, and I would say this is the best one yet. Sarah has it figured out for sure, from amenities to communication. We cannot recommend enough and will definately be back!
We live in Denver, but my Mother had always dreamed of celebrating Thanksgiving in the mountains. We decided 2023 was the year. I found the cabin in Pine and it was perfect for our young adults, elderly and those in between! The kitchen was large and well equipped. We watched football and ate yummy food. The hot tub was a hit and the scenery was unmatched. It snowed for a couple of days and we also drove over Kenosha Pass to cut Christmas trees on Saturday.. The fireplace was lovely too! I hope we can return to Craig Ranch one day!
I want to start by saying that the communication with Sarah was absolutely fantastic! She provided so much information about the house/property, as well as things to do and see in the area. Check-in and out was effortless and I just really appreciate how much care she put into everything. The kitchen was stocked with staples to share and everything we could possibly need to make some epic breakfasts and quiet dinners. We played cornhole, darts, board games, frisbee, and explored the beautiful property. I would recommend Zoka's Restaurant, Staunton State Park, and Snowpack Taproom. And every night in the hot tub under the stars!
We always enjoy our stay at Craig Ranch. It is easy to settle in quickly and start enjoying your surroundings. There is plenty of room for our two families of 4. So much for the kids to do, from art supplies and board games to a ninja line, trampoline, outdoor toys and a tree house. We never heard the word “bored!” The house is very well equipped with any cooking utensil you could possibly need, condiments, spices, etc. Plenty of blankets and towels. Nothing beats a cup of coffee on the deck, taking in the beautiful views and serenity.
I have no doubt we will be back. We’re never disappointed!
Our family had an amazing time here! The house was just as pictured in the listing. Plenty of things to do for all ages ranging from 6 yrs to 67 yrs. The views were beautiful as well! Would definitely stay here again!
We had a wonderful time at the Craig Ranch. The location was far enough away for maximum privacy yet close to town for food etc. The view from the deck was gorgeous! We really enjoyed our time, thank you so much!!
The property itself was amazing. It had absolutely everything we needed, from extra blankets, to coffee machines, to central heating, to sleds we could use for when it snowed. Sarah was the best host we could ask for, especially since she was so communicative and would ask how we were doing during our stay. If I could give a rating of 10/10, I certainly would, and I'm happy to come back and stay here again!
We stayed for 9 days! We flew in from Michigan and we felt like we came home!
We had everything we could ask for and more! Plenty of space for 6 of us- 4 adults , 2 teens! The location was secluded and so beautiful! I highly recommend this place! Our host Sarah was great!
Craig Ranch was a delight, especially for the three year old in our midst. So many fun things to do! Also, setting and weather were perfect all week. Communication was exceptional.
Thank you for a very restorative week!
This property is beautiful and the owners are great. I had a lot of specific questions and they were so sweet!! My family is already asking when we can come back. We were 4 generations and every generation was happy. I can’t thank them enough. The kitchen had everything we needed. The bedrooms had fans when it was hot and extra blankets for when it was cold. Plenty of seating for everyone. I highly recommend!!
My family and I just completed a 1-week stay at this home in Pine, Colorado and were so pleased with everything this house had to offer!! My children are all adults and enjoyed the private spaces, and the barn with basketball, darts and ping pong. We even had some game nights!! The home was in the woods making it feel we were on our own private mountain!! Thank you Sarah and Paul for sharing your home with us!!
