About this property

Secluded Ranch House on the Rio Grande River

  • Cross a charming railroad bridge to this welcoming cottage-style farmhouse, located on 200+ acres along the Rio Grande River. This one-of-a-kind property is a working cattle ranch and is family owned and operated. This secluded ranch is located minutes away from mountainous Del Norte, Colorado. Del Norte is home to delightful restaurants, distilleries, and breweries.
    Around Del Norte, there are many scenic hikes, bike trails, kayaking, rafting, rock climbing, fishing, and skiing. A local enjoyment would be the "play wave" and an appealing river walk both just minutes away along the Rio Grande River. Scenes are unbelievable at this distinct river ranch. The curiosities of Wolf Creek Ski Area (35 minutes away) are one of many attractions surrounding this breathtaking area. Wolf Creek is known for "the most snow in Colorado." An hour away is The Great Sand Dunes National Park. This National Park has an enormous amount of places of interest including, hiking the dunes and exploring nearby Zapata Falls. With all the refreshing attractions, sites, and landscapes we hope you will find your stay relaxing and enjoyable.

Ranch House

The ranch was very comfortable and relaxing. We loved watching the cattle roaming throughout the day. There are numerous places to visit for hikes and fishing. We would stay there again.

Quiet, ample room, well stocked

Charming old farm house in cute little town near Great Sand Dunes National Park. Downstairs bathroom could use a bit of TLC (ceiling needs a bit of repair) but overall the house was lovely. Kitchen had everything you need, and there were ample beds for our large family. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice home away from home.

Great communication with our hosts. The house was clean, comfortable and smelled nice. We were greeted with a friendly note and a fist for our honeymoon. Thanks Aubrey and Jake. Side note, I don't remember seeing on the description that it is a working cattle ranch. That may be a detail that would influence one's decision. All in all, great stay!

Family trip to the valley

Overall this house was in a great location for our plans for the weekend and provided a significant amount of space for our family to spread out. While it is listed as a three bedroom property, I would note that only one bedroom had a door. I knew the downstairs bed was open but had hoped for two bedrooms upstairs for our kiddos. However, it was still a very good property and a good fit for our needs! Would recommend for families and larger groups.

Perfect Ranch Home

Home was exactly as described in the listing. Our family of five thoroughly enjoyed our stay at home in Del Norte. The beds, pillows and linens were so comfortable we all slept great! Home was decorated perfectly and very cozy. We had the freedom to walk around the property and just slow down, which was exactly what we needed to end our spring break adventure out west. Communication with the host was great. I appreciated list of local spots and welcoming drinks. Coming from Utah, we stopped at Four corners, Mesa Verde, Durango. We went to the Great Sand Dunes, Zapata Falls and had Ice Cream in town at Almost Home (made). Thank you for sharing!

The best place to stay!!!

We love staying away from bust places when visiting! This place was perfect! The house was so comfortable and cozy! The place was well stocked with necessities and drinks in the fridge! Sitting outside watching the deer and chimp mucks was so soothing yet exciting! I would return and return to this place!! Don’t know what you missing by not staying here! The owner Aubrey responded quickly to messages and phone! Although I didn’t meet her, she is the sweetest lady! I am sure her husband is sweet too!
