I'm from Florida so I don't get to see a lot of the nature that is included here but the grounds were immaculate! Beautiful bridges with stepping stones that appeared they were made out of the mountains. Historical markers to truly show you the love that was put into this park!

You won't regret it :)

This is not cool. Some of us employees can't park in the employee LOT bc we don't work on the mountain.

Attended a stunning wedding here…read more The space really has so many gorgeous little details. From the small welcome area that can serve as a bar for welcome drinks, to the ceremony area, which truly is so magical feeling as it surrounded by trees, and the sound of a bubbling creek, to the actual house, infrastructure that has bathrooms for guests, as well as respective dressing rooms for parties, this is a unique and gorgeous venue. During the reception that I attended here, we dined under their large, heated tent, which had plenty of room for everything that was needed. There was also WiFi available on site. I'd love to attend another event here. Really lovely spot.

Blackstone Rivers Ranch is an out of this world venue! It was magnificent. It was our first venue…read moreto tour and our last because we really didn't want to go to any other venue. It was love at first sight. Cheryl gave us the tour at Blackstone Rivers Ranch, she has a beautiful soul as did everyone who works for this venue. Each one of them were so kind and helpful. This venue has years of experience and a preferred list of vendors that make this process much easier and more relaxed as they work so well together (and as a bride you feel comfortable and confident that everything will go well). This is very important working as a team to create such a special day for two people. None of our family or invited friends knew about this place. We had guests from Minnesota, Mexico, California, Spain, Colombia, Panama, and other countries. We knew that they were making a huge sacrifice to be here on our special day. The time for the wedding arrived and when our guests arrived at Blackstone Rivers Ranch they were stunned and delighted, our guests did not stop commenting that it was the most beautiful and fun wedding they have ever been to. We had compliments about the venue, catering, DJ, coordinator, photographer, EVERYTHING from our guests. As a bride I was afraid of having the same problem as the other brides, who always had some complaint or something that did not go the way they wanted on their special day, BUT NO I was not one of those brides (YAY)! My wedding was the best and the most perfect thanks to Blackstone Rivers Ranch and their list of preferred vendors. Without the help of BRR my wedding would not have been possible to plan as perfectly. Every penny invested in this wedding was worth it to the fullest. My husband and I are more than sure that it was the best decision we have ever made in having a big wedding with 100 guests and not a small wedding with only 15 or 20 guests. My guests fell in love with our wedding and the venue and they couldn't stop talking about it. They all told us that it was worth the sacrifice they made to travel from far away to experience the beautiful views of the mountains and the river at the venue, the big and beautiful white tent. EVERYTHING was romantic and unique. My husband and I will always be grateful to BRR, our words and gratitude will not be enough for the enormous satisfaction and happiness we had on our wedding day.

I would say it got down to 50 degrees at night, but they provide an extra comfy bed with tons of blankets! We were extremely comfortable! They had full bathrooms with the tent. So shower, working toilet, and sink with hot water! They had a cooler with ice ready for us upon arrival. The cooler had cold water bottles and coffee creamer. They also had lanterns fully charged for us. They had a coffee maker with sugars. The tent is situated on top of a deck off the ground. Can walk barefoot around the tent area. At night, you can see all thr stars and milkyway (as long as it is a clear night). They have a ton of activities to take advantage of! We went on the ATV tour in the morning, and it was absolutely worth it. Shout out to Above and Beyond Tour! Thank you to Greg for the fun tour and Craig! Highly recommend the ATV tour! Also, we did the horseback riding! Wonderful and friendly staff and horses! I had King Kong, he was quite the snacker! My bf had Mohab. BEAUTIFUL VIEWS at this ranch. Wide open skies and mountainous landscapes with a rich history! Don't skip on this place! Run, don't walk, to book a reservation. We stayed 2 nights, and wish our trip was longer so we could have stayed longer. We did go on a night hike with the lanters. They have chairs out on some trails to enjoy that big starry night sky. This is definitely a place we would love to return to!

First time in Vail and we're very happy that we stayed here…read more Maybe an odd start when we dropped off the car at the front door because no one helped at all with any of our luggage. Because of its location there was no need to ever use the free bus that runs through the Village. It's practically in the center. One night our restaurant was a leisurely 10 minute walk, the next maybe half that. Our room on the 3rd floor had a small balcony that looked down the quaint street as well as a view of the mountains. The hotel itself looks as though it was transported from Germany. The hotel staff was very friendly and informative. The breakfast was good, with one morning serving made to order omelets. It has an outside hot tub as well as a pool. Very nice atmosphere and stay.

The setting is magical and truly sets the tone before you even arrive. Once at the cabin, everything felt cozy, welcoming, and thoughtfully done. The food overall was yummy and enjoyable, though the lasagna wasn't our favorite. That said, the incredible atmosphere, unique sleigh ride, and mountain setting made this a memorable experience we'll be talking about for a long time. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Beaver Creek looking for something special and unforgettable.

PROs 2 fans for each bedroom - the box fan was nice to prop by the window to bring in cold air at night. Cleaning provided every day. Very cozy and a lot of seating options. Great location in east vail / close to walking trail to the covered bridge. Good water pressure in the showers! CONs The kitchen was pretty scarce with basics - some salt and pepper but no coffee. We tried using the cd player but many cds were missing. The tv in the living room only had channels 1-20 working. The fridge filter needs to be changed and it makes a weird noise when it's opened. The primary toilet seems low pressure and not flushing. We loved being close to the amphitheater and the bus was convenient to get to west vail. Would stay here again in summer or winter!

I felt so guilty even riding the sleigh with how miserable the horses were, but another person in our group had purchased all the tickets in advance as a treat for everyone The "trail" was complete mud and rocks and the horses were working so hard they had to stop and rest every few minutes - Thankfully, they allowed them to rest, but they should not have even been operating in those conditions! The ride was painfully rough. Absolutely not worth the $50 per person! Everything was dirty slush by mid-March, but the trail is more of a track, no wooded area, not really any views. The horses were absolutely miserable - dragging a loaded sleigh thru icey, muddy riches. They have a small paddock - I wouldn't even call it a pasture. And no shelter - Yes, these horses are content to stay outdoors 99.9% of the time, but they should have an optional covered area available at least.
