We just returned from one night at Avalanche Ranch and the kids are already planning our return. The cabins are rustic and comfortable and the staff is helpful, kind, and competent. We particularly enjoyed the wood burning stove in cabin #5 and our two boys (7 and 9) were so happy reading and playing in the cozy loft. They also... More

Spent a winter weekend here with a group of friends and loved it! The accommodations are semi-rustic, but the attention to detail is what makes av ranch so perfect. The beds are incredibly comfortable, the springs lovely, and there's even a sweet selection of organic teas in the kitchen. They have a blissful snowshoe (hiking) trail and gorgeous mountain views.... More

We had 4 people in cabin #8 and had other family members in cabins 5, 6 & 7. We were very comfortable with a Queen bed, double in the loft and a futon. The cabins are decorated in typical cabin decor and the bathtub/shower was a bear claw tub. We loved the hot springs and our kids played a lot... More

Avalanche Ranch has a series of detached cabins, self catering, about 10 miles out of Carbondale, CO. It is nestled into the hillside leaving the cabins with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. They have recently added hot spring bathing pools which are excellent! There is a cool-ish pool complete with waterfall, a warmer pool, and a hot pool for... More

There are several types of cabins and all of them are cozy and rustic. We rented 3 of the cabins for a special event. We liked the layout of our cabin with a loft up high and a bed and futon below and a private bedroom. The kitchen included everything except the food. The lodge is a great place for... More

I joined my significant other's family to celebrate his dad's 60th birthday at Avalanche Ranch. We stayed there for three days. The cabins were a great mix of rustic and modern. The shower is a bear claw tub which my significant other found a bit difficult to maneuver because he's so tall but I liked it. We found a mouse... More

We spent part of our honeymoon here and found it a fantastic, peaceful place to wind down from the excitement of our wedding. The pools are designed with as much care and quality as a 5-star resort, and when we were there mid-September they were not at all crowded. We stayed in the room above the office (can't remember the... More

Didn't stay at the Ranch, but did spend a very nice, relaxful afternoon soaking in their hot springs pools. These are located smack dab in the middle of the forest with a gorgeous view of Mt. Sopris and surrounded by trees, forest vegetation and local wildflowers. Fed by natural hot mineral water plumbed from the depths of the earth, each... More

What a gem! Read an awesome review in Sunset Magazine and could not wait to check it out. Took my little 6 year old friend for a "staycation" We booked the Shepard's Cabin, and could not have been more delighted! The bathrooms were about ten steps away. The ranch is so beautiful.. pristine, quiet, glorious views. The pools were so... More
