About this house rental
Gilson Ranch is a private 40-acre estate in the Thousand Peaks Ranch community near Fairplay, Colorado — 40 minutes from Breckenridge, minutes from historic Fairplay, and surrounded by open high-altitude meadow with no neighboring properties in view. The home sleeps 6 across 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, is single-level with a private entrance and no shared walls, and is dog friendly. It sits under some of Colorado's darkest night skies — on clear nights the Milky Way is visible with the naked eye from the front yard, and return guests consistently name stargazing from the hot tub as the highlight of their stay.
THE SPACE
The open-concept main living area is anchored by an indoor wood-burning oven and a fully equipped chef's kitchen, stocked well beyond the basics (including an Instant Pot). The dining area seats all 6 guests, and the living room includes a record player, sound system, and Smart TV. An indoor jet tub adds a second soaking option beyond the outdoor hot tub.
BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS
Suite 1: King bed with private bathroom and direct access to the outdoor areas. Suite 2: King bed with its own bathroom. Bedroom 3: Two twin beds plus a dedicated remote-work station with monitor, printer, and fast ethernet — ideal for guests who need to stay productive without leaving the property. Sleeping configuration: King | King | Two Twins. Capacity: 6 guests, 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths.
OUTDOORS
The private hot tub sits under open sky with 360-degree mountain views — positioned for the late-night stargazing guests write home about. The outdoor kitchen includes a gas BBQ grill, and the fire pit is set in the meadow with views in every direction. Hammock and sun loungers included. Elk, pronghorn, and mule deer move through the surrounding meadows with the seasons, and June and July bring wildflower blooms across the plateau.
THE LOCATION
40 minutes to Breckenridge for skiing, hiking, mountain biking, and dining. Antero, Spinney, and Eleven Mile Reservoirs are within 30 minutes for fishing and paddling. Buena Vista and the Arkansas River canyon are nearby for whitewater rafting. The historic town of Fairplay is minutes away for groceries and restaurants.
AMENITIES
In-unit washer and dryer, fast ethernet internet, dedicated workspace with monitor and printer, indoor wood-burning oven, chef's kitchen, indoor jet tub, outdoor hot tub, gas grill, fire pit, record player, sound system, Smart TV, board games, game console, hammock, sun loungers, and children's gear including a crib and high chair.
GOOD TO KNOW

The host was exceptionally awesome with making sure my stay was wonderful. When I needed help there made sure I got what I needed. The house was beautiful inside, beds very comfortable, laundry room was awesome to have use so that I was able to return home with clean clothes. Kitchen area had more than what I needed. Parking was no problem. And last but not least the view of the mountains was absolutely amazing, even had a preview of the winter with overnight snow squalls. Also available but Not used by me due to health concerns were the outside hot-tub and an inside hot-tub in the master bath along with a great shower with a sitting corner for those who are fragile standing or wanting to sit for other reasons. Outdoor patio’s and chairs were plentiful and faced the wonderful mountain vistas. Absolutely loved this vacation home stay. Definitely recommended!

How do I even start this review honestly? This house, and its location is magical. Every single second of every day spent here was amazing. We woke up and saw rainbows, snow falling miles away on the peaks, heard and saw wildlife and farm animals, saw the milky way galaxy, all while feeling right at home in this beautiful house. It is well furnished, looks great, and is comfortable for the entire family. The beds are nice and the showers and hot tub are fantastic. Overall, pretending to live on a ranch in Colorado is a 100% must do, and staying at Josh's house is my number 1 pick out of ALL of Colorado. People in the surrounding town were friendly, and even the people who take care of the house were extremely nice and friendly. Love this house, love the ease of getting in touch with the host, and love the location. Book here and don't look back. You will thank me and yourself.

This place was great, just far enough out of town you didn’t have to deal with a ton of people but close to tons of hikes and access to National Forest. The house was great, super high end furnishings and accessories in the house along with plenty of linens and towels.

We had a wonderful time over Thanksgiving break…most relaxing trip we’ve taken with the kids by far. We especially enjoyed the very well stocked kitchen and the hot tub. Beds were also very comfy and communication with the hosts was easy. Highly recommend if you are looking for some quality family time in a peaceful and beautiful setting.
