We stopped in to see if there were any vacancies because our camping adventures were spoiled for a bit by rain showers moving through the area. Upon arrival, the young lady checked their booking schedule and let us know that they had a cancellation earlier that day and a cabin on the river was available. She said she wanted to do one last walk through to ensure it was cleaned and ready before we checked in. Thank goodness it was good to go. It was super cute, incredibly clean, and surprising spacious... even if it was just my husband and I. We got the deluxe cabin, so it had a queen-sized bed on the first floor and another bed in the loft area. This would have been even more perfect for a family with kiddos. Either way, sitting on the back porch listening to the river and the birds chirping was pretty darn relaxing. The bed was super comfy and the bathroom and shower were a good size. All in all, great place to stay! Their location falls right between Telluride and Dolores, Co. We would definitely stay here again. read more

Biscuit, Charles and Maddie were amazing! We did the Bear Creek Trail which is pretty technical and they got our group of city slickers through it with no problem. This ride is incredible and the animals were great too (say hi to Alice for me). Highly recommend this outfit and this trail! read more

We stayed here last minute. The first night in a motel as no cabins available and the second night at a cabin right on the water. Both very clean. So serene. Right between Dolores and Telluride. Just stock up on food in Dolores. I wish we had booked our whole trip here vs the rest in Durango. This place more of the rocky mountain experience. I was disappointed in no elk or much of anything besides chipmunks and squirrels. Highly recommend. Stay here and visit Telluride. read more

We took our church's youth group of 20 teens for summer camp to this beautiful Ranch. This cozy ranch was nestled in the Rocky Mountains of Dolores, Colorado. They have various accommodations, small motel rooms, big rooms with bunk beds for youth groups or retreat groups, as well as cabins. The staff was very helpful and kind. Their food was very good for a Ranch camp site. I would describe it like grandma's home cooking. Our youth were in the big bunk bed rooms. They all said that the showers were great because they provided hot water. The only complaint was that the bunk bed mattresses were too thin. I stayed in a small cabin and the cabin was clean and fully furnished with small kitchen. There no dish washer. The back porch backed up to the Dolores river. Telluride is ski resort area only 45 minute drive from this ranch. It is a must see! When we went there was a jazz festival. Overall, we had a wonderful time at this Ranch and would definitely stay there again. read more

A group of us visited for a retreat. The ranch is beautiful and so was our cabin whose deck faced the river! We experienced Equine Sessions led by the owner, Cindy, which were awakening and healing!! The staff are very pleasant and accommodating and the meals were delicious! Some of us chose to go on a horseback trail ride led by Wrangler Dorothy which was relaxing, scenic and fun! The horses are beautiful, well kept and behaved. I enjoyed the ranch so much I am looking into planning a return trip for the entire family!!! read more

Loved the ride and the guides. I did tip $80 for a total of 4 people, yet I had Clay the guide complain to my concierge that I never tipped them. Very disrespectful because I personally handed him $80 and that's not including the booking fee. I had fun but clearly some of the people are selfish. read more

Today my 10 yr old and I rode the Bear Creek Adventure with Grayson as our guide. It was a 40 drive from Mountain Village, easy to find. The view was amazing. Although it rained the entire ride, we loved it! The horses were well cared for, trained, and matched to our abilities. There was just enough adventure to make us ride actively, without being fearful. Our guide was very aware of our safety and comfort. I wish we brought rain ponchos to help cover our legs, but that's all I'd change. After our ride, my daughter and I changed into warm clothes and drank hot cocoa by the fire. A very memorable ride :) read more

When we arrived at Circle K Ranch, there was a power outage that affected the entire county leaving us with no electricity for the night. The staff however was very apologetic and provided us with lanterns and tips to keep our room warm due to the loss of power. They made the best of an unfortunate situation, you can tell they really care about what they do. (and you just don't get that kind of customer service anywhere these days!) The power did come back on in the middle of the night and the ranch itself is so beautiful and quaint, we wish we had more time to explore. We would definitely return if passing through in the future, its a gem of a place that you don't want to miss. Big thanks to David and his team for a great experience! read more

This place is a little mountain paradise that everyone should visit at least once in their lives. We visited Circle K Ranch most recently for a family reunion. The food is fantastic, there was fishing in a river that ran right through the ranch. Mountain trails to walk or horseback ride. Their lodge boasts a great room with a fireplace that always draws folks in to visit and relax. The kids loved the mountain cable slide and spent hours whizzing down the hill. The people are friendly, honest and accommodating. They provided a clean, family friendly atmosphere. They offered cabins, ,motel rooms, dorm rooms, and lodge rooms to stay in. Some of use stayed in the dorms and others the motel. The motel rooms were very cute and done in the western theme that blended so well with the mountains. They also provide hunters a wonderful opportunity. My husband and son went elk hunting. They have a map room to check out the thousands of acres of land available in the area for hunting. They will advise you of good areas to try, offer you guide service, and even drop off horses for you to use at the trail head. Some of the hunters even used a drop camp service. The guys still rave about the time they had and plan to take my other sons as soon as we can manage. While the guys hunted, my younger sons and I spent time fishing, sightseeing, hiking and just relaxing the day away. This time we stayed in a cabin. It was amazing to sit outside, relaxing and watching the river flow by. For breathtaking scenery, great food, excellent service and a great family vacation give them a try. read more

What a wonderful place to get away. Highly recommend staying a while to enjoy riding. Cabin was nice clean and peaceful.
