Making the long commute to the hotel is an ideal time to begin unplugging. Holistic Management is an ecologically minded approach to ranching that helps land managers, farmers, ranchers, and environmentalists develop strategies for managing herds of domestic horses and livestock. This is based on a practice that mimics ancient wild herds in a manner that heals degraded soils, improves ecosystem function, and builds biodiversity in grasslands.
You really want to take your time on planning your stay here—it's not something you'd want to do on a whim. Also, I'd opt for a cabin if you're able to, and if you're not up for horseback riding, fly fishing, and all of that, The Home Ranch can be an incredible yoga retreat. I liked how classic didn’t raise the price after the inflation of lumber prices.

Classic has responded to all of my inquiries and concerns. I think the floor installation was done incorrectly even though they have fixed a few issues, but overall, it was either rushed or something. Grout in the shower, thought most builders had gone away from grout, so hard to clean. Appliances are pretty low end - center burner on stove doesn't work and cannot be used as it leaks gas around it. Dishwasher doesn't clean unless you rinse all dishes first.
I personally fixed two issues that the trades said would require tearing out garage trim and back yard stucco. Also, had to personally help the electrician fix a basement fixture that was never connected to the light circuit. Other unique dude ranch offerings include sleigh rides and trail rides in the snow. My instructor and I hardly ever saw anyone else as we weaved through silver-and-white aspen groves and open meadows packed with champagne powder.
Guided Walking Trips Are the Active Travel Choice of the Moment — Here’s Why
The price that we signed on the contract is the price we paid at closing. Even with COVID delays our house finished in a timely manner. I appreciate the wolf ranch sales staff; Jennifer, Kimberly and Josh were awesome.
We got a lot of pushback when we found sink holes in various places around the foundation. Classic tried to blame the landscaper but eventually filled them a couple months later but we had to keep inquiring on the timeline. Our tree is still leaning but I doubt I’ll be able to get any further fixes on this issue due to the amount of initial pushback.
Home Ranch Performance Horses
Visit either to arrange hiking, mountain biking, or fishing. I have found that the warranty repairs have been the issue. One simple fix has been on-going since day 1 because of the cost of a new Ring system. Classic's Wolf Ranch home office team was pretty awesome, friendly and responsive.
There I was, horseback riding with my eyes tightly shut. Cross-country, skate and back country skiing on the ranch. Arrange a trip to the mountains at the desk for downhill skiing. The young team of passionate gardeners aims to expand your palate and engage your taste buds with dozens of new varieties of greens, roots, squash, beans, tomatoes, peppers, and much more. Next to the recreation building in front of the lodge sits the hiking hut and the fishing hut.
There are a multitude of cabins, and some that can accommodate larger families in five- and six-person cabins. It’s all high-class with modern, yet rustic options, and each room has a view and access to outdoor space. The property is owned by the Stranahan family, but Heintz and Michael Moon, the ranch manager, run the show. Anything stand out about other services and features? Whether it’s childcare, gyms, spas, even parking—whatever stuck with you.
As in, ‘Yes, we can accommodate that’, or, ‘Yes, we’ll make that happen’, or ‘Yes, you most certainly can’. And yes, this ‘can do’ attitude is a delight to hear during a dude ranch vacation. Your accommodations are first class with a private room in our beautiful Black Mesa Lodge. Our lodge is a modern 10,000 square foot building. It also has a dining room, cash bar, big screen television and other wonderful amenities.
The honor bar in the lodge is fully stocked with a good variety of wines, local beers, liquors, and all the mixers you might need. Just go in and help yourself, writing down any selections on the provided tickets organized by cabin or room name. Wine, cocktails and beer can be ordered at dinner as well. Each dinner menu offered two featured wine suggestions, but everything in the bar is available during meals as well. If you book a stay at The Home Ranch, located just outside Steamboat Springs, Colorado, you’d better get used to hearing the word ‘yes’.
We tried out just about everything, and the only things we encountered with an extra charge included alcohol , items bought in the gift shop, and on-site massages. Of course, you can add more to this list if you ask the ranch to arrange off-site activities, such as clay pigeon shooting, river rafting, hot air balloon rides, or gravity-based (lift-served) mountain biking at Steamboat. While exploring the property’s 20 miles of private groomed trails, I had some sense of how hard the horses have to work in the snow. I enjoyed nearly one-on-one attention from snowsports instructors during my first few attempts at Nordic skiing. One of the guests I met during my stay told me she picked The Home Ranch specifically because of how good its Nordic skiing trails are — and I couldn’t help but agree. As noted above, all-day rides are offered several times during the week, as well as a ‘Ride Fish Ride’ offering, which combines the two sports.
You will never go hungry; Pastry Chef Douglas Short’s pastries and freshly baked breads were my personal downfall. Would love to speak to someone who cares in person about this. Issues are address very quickly and they are always happy to answer a question. We appreciated the quick response by the warranty team. I loved the weekly phone calls keeping us updated on the current status of our home. Extremely satisfied, everything went better than anticipated from start to finish.
