About this house rental
A place so picturesque....ABC's The Bachelor filmed an episode here in one of our hot tubs, The Weather Channel's 'Freaks of Nature' filmed The Human Eclipse for its epic views and Wasteland III filmed its episodic here because of its seclusion. Many others have booked location shoots here too! This beauty has even been host to an Oscar winning director, best selling authors, celebrities and top of their game sports stars who use it to recharge. Even a billionare stayed here for a month!
Imagine arriving to a private mountain vacation home estate thru a long & winding quarter mile driveway ending at a large log cabin lodge atop a mountain that overlooks The Great Rocky Mountains. NO peek-a-boo views here! Full ON mountain range views from almost every window of the home and a thriving, diverse natural forest to explore. Space and privacy you just cannot get ANYWHERE else.
Having an event or having a bachelor or stag type stay? Scroll to the bottom of this description for more info.
Enjoy the most AMAZING sunsets from your private enclave on top of the world with not a neighbor in sight.
It IS one of the very FEW properties in the state you need NOT leave the property to enjoy your vacation! Great spot for extended family, corporate retreats, intimate weddings or reunions as Blue Sky Mountain Ranch is only 60 miles from Denver International Airport.
Take advantage of miles of hiking & biking immediately outside the door with a seasonal stream bed, hills, valleys, large rock outcrops, diverse forests and flowery meadows. It'll take you a week to explore the Ranch. And if you stay longer, we adjoin national forest on our entire Northern border, so you can enjoy even more exploring!
Blue Sky Ranch is so exclusive & private, you'll feel like you're the only humans on the planet and in one of the most nature inspired settings most never see, totally lacking in any sense of the typical urban/suburban sprawl which is so common these days. On the other hand, you're in close proximity to all things one expects to do in Colorado.

8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2025
6 adults and three children ages 4& 5 plus a 1 year old. Adequate number of bedrooms but no AC and even though temperatures outside was chilly, interior of home was hot so difficult to sleep even with fans and open windows. With the high altitude, it’s difficult to breath making activities like hiking difficult. Trails are rocky so not accessible for a stroller. Dirt roads up to the home so you need an SUV. You have to drive 20 minutes into a small town for groceries, wood if you want to use the fire pit and charcoal if you want to cook outside. No propane grill. Limited toilet paper, paper towels and tissues. When we arrived we had all the outdoor furniture covered in pollen and we had to clean it if we wanted to sit outside. I would have expected the owners to have cleaned it before our arrival. Don’t expect to clean indoors and outdoors when on vacation. Scenery is breathtaking.

We planned a simply trip not far out of the city and were thrilled to find the ranch. One hour out of Denver and you feel a world away. Gorgeous views, lovely accommodations, and fun activities. The house is wonderful. Nicer than the photos. Warm and comfortable... homey. Everything you need is there and if you by chance need something Kevin and Jennifer are so helpful and the most gracious hosts. The artwork throughout the house is spectacular. I spent the first hour walking around enjoying the objects throughout the house. We will absolutely return to once again unwind and rejuvenate at the ranch. Thank you K & J!Leslie S
