    This is very much a place to disconnect and relax. Lots of outings and things to do around but the best part is sitting in the hot springs and doing absolutely nothing. Wonderful spot, will be back!

    Pictures of our cabin, some of the property, and some of the views!

    Friend/romantic weekend getaway! It's fun to meet a group of friends somewhere amazing but even more amazing when we can have our own cabin! Most cabins have a small kitchen you can cook your own food, just read the descriptions closely. Avalanche Ranch has cabins for big groups and small groups, kid friendly and pet friendly! The walk to their hot springs is a short one and there are four different pools/tubs to choose from! The people who work there are friendly and the views spectacular! The closest city is Carbondale and we enjoyed eating there a couple times. I highly recommend this special place, especially during the winter! We can't wait to schedule for the summer!

    Love this place definitely need to get a reservation early as I was able to get in on someone else's cancellation. Super quiet peaceful the scenery is amazing from the Hot Springs and just love the whole look of it. Not super crowded and all the pools are stunning. I need to go back and book a reservation to stay there that's how nice his place was. Super clean and staff is super friendly and love the gift shop

    My husband and I were at Avalanche Ranch in late March and booked #14 which is called Route 66 at about $205 night. Our check in and parking went smoothly, although we did notice lots of dog poop around the property (a reminder to bring a flashlight for nighttime!). The cabin looked cute, like an old mining cabin, from the outside. The inside was somewhat quaint, but definitely not comfortable and the shower was something to avoid. We went to the hot springs, which were nice with a beautiful view, but crowded enough that we didn't feel comfortable getting in and out to try different temperatures. The night in the cabin was really awful. Neither one of us slept. It was a cold night and the wind and cold air seeped through cracks in the windows and around the door, which has a huge gap at the top. The heater worked, but not for the main area. It send lots of heat up to the loft, where the bed is, but that made it uncomfortably hot. We tried fans and opening the window upstairs, but to no avail. It was either freezing or boiling hot. The bed was uncomfortably lumpy and the futon on the main floor was also difficult to sit or sleep on. After a sleepless night, we decided we just couldn't do another night there (we had booked two nights). When I went to the front office to explain, the lady said that she would give us our money back if they could rebook it, but that was untrue, since they close for booking that close to the open date. All in all, I would recommend people go for the experience and view of the mountains, but skip the accommodations.

    This place is a unique gem... so much to love! The hot springs are wonderful... they clean out the pools on Wednesdays, so best to soak mid/end week vs Mon/Tues. The mountain view is truly breathtaking (especially in the fall)! I recommend the cabins on the top row (cabins 1-7), they are the most spacious! The only reason I didn't give AR 5 stars was because I felt the cabins & lodge could be cleaner... I saw a few mice running around and there were cobwebs & dust in the cabins. Just seems like a good weekly cleaning would go a long way! Lastly- The place is dog-friendly... we brought our 2 pups & they were in heaven playing with the staff's dogs & other guests' furry companions.

    What a wonderful hot springs experience we had. My daughter "found" this place and wanted to try it so we made reservations and came a few weeks later. We had no problems finding it. There is a small parking lot and we got a spot right away. Then we checked in with the office and they gave us a paper bracelet to identify we were paid visitors to the pools. We found several lounge chairs and put our towels on them. There are not alot of lounge chairs but we hardly sat in them, except to take a quickie rest and snack. We spent most of our time in the pools. There are three basic pools on three levels.........plus a little known barrel hot tub in a cabin above the highest pool. You get to that cabin via a small path outside the uppermost pool. (there is a small treehouse/platform near that cabin) It seems that the coolest pool is on the first level and has a cute waterfall entering it that you can swim/sit under. Most families and small kids were in that pool. The second pool up was the warmest and the uppermost one was in between. That was the one we spent most of our time at. From each pool you get a great view of the mountains and you can sit there all day and view the mts except you get too hot and need to take a break from the warmth. They do not sell food but you can bring your own food and drink (don't know about alcoholic beverages though) There is a "necessary" room (unisex toilet) within a few feet of the lowest pool and two dressing rooms available to shower and dress and store items in the cubbies. They only permit 15 people to use the pools during each day session. Thus reservations are very necessary to get a spot to use the pools. Those staying in the cabins on the premises get to use the pools whenever they want to, day or night. There are lodgings scattered throughout but its fun to see the odd lodgings and wagons. All throughout there are fun items to see such as the old claw foot bathtub and tin animals. Overall, Avalanche Ranch is a great place to spend some time relaxing in the hot tubs. Perhaps I'll stay there next time and stay in one of their cabins AND enjoy unlimited hot pools. Word of advice is that you really really have to make reservations way ahead to get the lodging you want, or even to secure a place in their day use of the hot pools. It will all be worth it. We totally had a great time.

    Our first visit here, but we have visited nearly all the hot springs in Colorado. This one is one of our new favs and we will be back to stay in one of the wagons (they were all booked up four weeks out). These hot springs were quiet with a wide range of temperatures. Bathing suits are required. Pools and grounds were all very well kept, unlike other private hot springs that are old and run down. The staff members were incredibly friendly and we loved seeing all the old barns and barn animals that greeted us at the front. Such a quiet, well kept, and quaint place of solitude.

    Loved finding this quaint hot springs where you get to also see the ranch sheep, lamas, dogs and cats! What I love about this place is that it limits the amount of guests using the hot springs at one time. We could enjoy and relax without feeling crowded in. The views from the hot springs pools is spectacular, and the staff were super nice! Such a find!

    It's bigger than it looks! Super comfy bed!

    Heaven on Earth! My husband and I stayed a day and a night while passing through the area in mid-September. I would definitely love to go back and stay for at least 3 days! We stayed in the Shepherd's Wagon and I had one of the best, coziest night's sleep I've had in a while. My husband said he was very comfortable and slept well too. (Snuggle city!) The hot springs were glorious and the hike we took was just breathtakingly beautiful. So glad we stopped here!

    Cosy covered wagon. Path to the wagon was muddy, but a nice guy lay out the wood path for us.

Unfortunately, due to the nearby fires there was heavy smoke everywhere. The owners realized it would be unbearable to stay there and offered us a bridal suite at their recently purchased ranch which is 15 minutes away. After a few rural roads we came upon their place... OMG what a ranch! It was how one would imagine a ranch to be... white fenced sections, horses, wildlife, stables, lots of well-kept acreage with many large shady trees also many apple trees. A beautiful huge main house to one side, the bridal suite across the driveway very privately surrounded by beautiful lawns and trees with lots of shade. One of the family members took us on a tour around the 21 acres and as the ranch name suggests, they have a huge red barn along with stables, corrals, ponds, more B&B suites, just amazing! It had a perfect reception hall that opens to a vast lawn, this with a complete bar, bandstand; this is a perfect place for a wedding. The entire place was super clean and well kept. Our mornings were very relaxing... peacefully quiet but for the soothing soft breeze through the trees. Breakfast on our private patio was a treat and did I mention the delicious coffee? Luis and Kristine along with their wonderful family were so welcoming and are the warmest of hosts, one and all. We really enjoyed their company. This ranch is a perfect place for a wedding, family reunion, retreat or whatever! We look forward to coming back very soon. We loved it and you will too!

You can buy fresh beef and pork grown by their neighbors' farms directly from them which is a cool unique perk of staying at the ranch. We enjoyed getting to interact with all the different animals they have on the ranch consisting of alpacas, goats, cows, bulls, horses, and dogs.
