Bring along your appetite, as meal times are always extra-special. Our Cordon Bleu trained chefs are extremely skilled -- so whether it’s a scrumptious breakfast, Mexican, Italian, seafood, steak, vegetarian, buffets or cookouts, you’ll LOVE our food! Youth meals cater to younger tastes.
"Have been trying to readjust to the real world where the food I prepare and the tidying up that I do, could never compare to yours. The kids continue to look for pine needles to make pine needle tea, talk regularly about the Hideout, the scavenger hunt ... you name it - it’s all still very fresh in their minds. Pat and I decided a daily dose of Cow Park, hanging out by the campfire and some Colorado scenery are some of life's best tonics!"
"We've visited 7 or 8 different guest ranches and we wanted to let you know that WTR is definitely in the superior category. We appreciated the fine quality of your horses and the fact that you teach good horsemanship and respect for the horses. The dinners were brilliant and the wait staff was courteous and cheerful. We loved it!"
"Thanks for a wonderful stay at the ranch! We all had fun, but the boys enjoyed themselves especially. Your counselors and wranglers really put themselves out to make this happen--playing football and fishing with the kids after dinner for example, when they were officially off-duty."
"I just wanted to say that you have built a memory in my life. Right now I'm sitting in my hotel room and missing my new friends, my horse, Cinder, and all the fun things I experienced last week. I know I was just "another" visitor, but you guys will stay in my heart forever."
"We are not the type of folk for corny testimonials, but we must say that our time at the ranch was likely the best vacation we ever had. The riding was great, the wranglers fun and knowledgeable and the food superb. We hope to make it back in the future. If any prospective guests want to talk to former ones before making a decision, give them our name."
"It was a great family vacation. Horses, playing cowboy. My kids want to keep going back. What a great week."
"Thank you for the most fantastic family vacation the Rosenberg family has had! I pushed my family outside their comfort zone (hiking, riding and rafting), and they enjoyed it, and I reached my goal. We are all back to the Midwest flatlands with many pictures and many, many more memories."

"Our children are growing up so fast and it is great to spend time with them in an atmosphere that is so relaxed and enjoyable. They were always having so much fun, it was hard to get them to find time for us. But that is part of the great attraction of a ranch vacation, the fact that Wendy and I had time to ourselves too, knowing that the kids were off having the time of their lives."
"Best vacation I've ever had. Been 3 times. The Roberts family are wonderful hosts. Some of the most beautiful areas of Colo. The cabins are spacious and user friendly. The chef was great and accommodating of special needs (dietary). Nightly entertainment and of course the horses and trails were wonderful. All the staff were great!!"
"I researched quite a bit before choosing WTR, and knew that it would be a wonderful vacation, however this far exceeded our dreams. What a fabulous vacation! I am having a hard time getting up each morning without Gary's pancakes and the view that accompanied them. Please book us a cabin for the next 10 years!"
"Across the lush Pine Valley, another mountain rises, topped with a picture perfect vanilla ice cream peak silhouetted against a cloudless blue sky. It is, as my kids say, 'awesome'. And what could be more American than riding a horse in the west?"
"Please accept our appreciation for the wonderful week our family and friends spent at WTR. You certainly made us all feel welcome for the week, which has become #1 on our list of family vacations!"
