Historic Ranch
Resort Valley Ranch was homesteaded mainly by the Corbin family starting.in 1884
They had moved their cattle here from nearby Pleasent Park during a particularly hard winter, as a "last resort", leading to the creeks being named Last Resort and West Resort.
Hard times in the 1930's and drought conditions, convinced the Corbin's to sell out and move to lusher climes.
Tom’s father, Dr. O.J. Butterfield was another doctor that invested his spare money in cattle ranching.
Purchased mainly before. 1945, Tom's older brother Rupert tried to make a living raising trout on the Resort Creek property in the late '40's.
Otherwise, the place was occupied by various old-timers who caretook the place until 1955, when Barbara and Tom moved here to oversee the cattle business.
The second slope of the driveway frequently had to be dug out by hand for access.
The years of drought had left the place overgrazed and barren.
Times were hard, and the horses needed to work the cattle ate plenty.
The opportunity arose to lease them out in nearby Foxton--Foxton Stables was born.
An old livery and other outbuildings provided the facilities needed.
Mutual benefit was derived from the business as customers to the general store also would take advantage of the riding horses just across the bridge.
Workers and helpers came from off-duty air force boys, as well as volunteer children from the local summer cabins.
Guided rides were offered, as well as moonlight rides when appropriate and by appointment.
There were also "Chuck Wagon" cookouts which included a horse-drawn hay ride to and from.
Tom and Barbara also put on a Trail Horse Trials which was an annual competition over obstacles, judged, set up to simulate obstacles a horse might encounter while out riding.
This became more widely attended the second year, coming to the notice of horse breeders like Mary Woolverton, who competed in it for the first time in 1963.
(That's when Nan first fell in love with Prince of Pride, a golden palomino Morgan stallion who always looked like the perfect horse showing how to do it perfectly.)
1963 is the last year this event, and the stable business, was held in Foxton.
From then on, the stable was run from the barn at the ranch, and the Trail Horse Trials was not put on again until 1966, when it was sponsored by the 4-H Trail Dusters and put on in conjunction with the first annual Top of the World Competitive Trail ride which was head-quartered on the west end of the property.
As the stable became busier, more horses were purchased or leased to meet the need.
Many of these horse were grade individuals from known breeds.
The better mares did double duty by raising foals each year, that would be sold or auctioned off.
Some of the mares were bred to our Shetland pony stallion, Tarzan, he was called a chocolate-dapple.
Several years we had Appaloosa offspring from a friend's stallion.
For a short time, a Moroccan Paint stallion was used, but he tended to throw the lethal white gene, as well as breaking Tom Butterfield's knee with his bad behavior.
He soon found his way back to auction!
A couple of the leased mares were Morgans.
They proved to be easy to work with as well as hardy individuals that kept well, and the foals proved easier to halter break than the other horses.
They made a good enough impression that a young gelding was purchased, and one nice mare was bred to the Morgan stallion Julio--descended from Juzan.
The resulting colt, Julian, was kept as stallion until age eight, before being gelded and living out his years as a family favorite.
Julian did a lovely running walk.
Unfortunately, none of his offspring were kept, including the two from the half Shetland mares kept for the family.
It may seem that the cattle operation got dropped by the wayside.
In actuality, that's not far from the truth.
The fact that the registered Herefords purchased by Tom and Barbara, turned out to carry dwarf genes, which soon became apparent each calving season.
This rather limited the value and productivity of the herd.
Financial concerns brought on by Dr. Butterfield's death in 1967, subsequently led to the dispersal of the cattle herd.
It was fortunate that the Stable had become established enough to become one of the mainstays of the family fortunes.
Diversification was always a necessity.
Horses were leased to the Forest Service when they needed them.
The entire string would be utilized for company picnics, with the horses being brought to the site.
Churches were sent flyers promoting group rides and hayrides.
Boy Scout troops were welcomed to camp, ride and work on both Horsemanship and Conservation Merit Badges--which benefited in valuable erosion control work.
Many times, ranch hands were obtained from these sources, both for fencing and Christmas tree cutting.
There were many winters that the place carried over a hundred head of horses, as several camps in the area would winter their horses here.
Dad would haul them back and forth, pull their shoes, etc.
Our pinto line originated with Barbara's mare Calico, a pinto mare of unknown breeding, though Tennessee Walker was suspected due to her gaits.
Having been diagnosed with Navicular disease, she was bred to the Shetland, Tarzan, a chocolate-dapple--producing the mare Feather (Nan's pony).
This line has been bred only to Morgans since '66, when Feather was bred to General James, producing the mare Calico Doll, granddam to our stallion RV Eagle Feather.
Doll was only 14.2, but she had heart, stamina and intelligence.
Having learned much at the knee of the Shetland, Feather, Nan began training Doll in 1970.
This mare was just four years old when she took the High Point Champion in the '71 Trail Horse Trials, over some tough competition, including Mary Woolverton's Prince of Pride.
She could side-pass, two track, drag a log, pull a cart without blinders, open gates, work livestock and run all day.
She also would gait occasionally, a trait that skipped a generation.
Calico Doll was bred to Prince of Pride five different times, prior to his death in 1973(?).
She would get in foal but never carried to term.
Nan did some riding for Mary in exchange for these breedings, working Victory Vagabond.
Finally the arrangement was settled by getting Calico Doll in foal to her stallion, Great Hills Richmond.
Calico Doll's brown colt from this cross was sold on to the Tumbling River Ranch for cattle work.
In the 1970's, a local breeder came to our attention with her stallion, Topside Midnight, when she competed him in the Top of the World Competitive Trail Ride.
The crossing of Calico Doll with Midnight produced the black 3/4 Morgan stallion, Jaspar, in 1974.
He was used for breeding four or five years, overlapping the transition to pureblooded Morgans in 1977. I always thought it unfortunate that he wasn't pure-blooded as he had wonderful manners, was very solid and typey and a generous sire.
We sold his offspring until 1985 and still have a great-granddaughter.
He was gelded in '81, and sold in '82.
A few of the solid colored part-bloods come down from this line of the family.
One of his daughters has competed as a grade horse in Competitive Trail riding for the past ten years.
Three major land sales were required for operating expenses during the late '60's and early '70's.
The Indian Park Ranch was decreased to 280 acres, Resort Valley Ranch decreased from 5,000 acres to its present 4,000.
The Camp Fire Girls purchased the property adjacent to the driveway, leading to their utilizing horses from our string for their horse program.
As the Camp increased its horse program, the public stables was gradually phased out.
This freed up the Butterfield's lifestyle enough for them to focus on starting raising the pure-blooded Morgans, beginning with their purchase of SH Crescent in 1976.

The 160 acre ranch was homesteaded by my grandfather over 100 years ago. He was an engineer.
**Please note that the GPS will take you 300 feet away from my property, please follow my clear instructions that are sent in your welcome email. There is signage that you can also follow. **
The plan was to use this property as summer grazing for his cattle. The cattle were wintered at the other ranch about 10 miles away, which was homesteaded by my great grandfather.
Because my grandfather could survey, he made sure the property lines zigzaged up the valley so the small creek was in the middle to provide water for the animals. He chose well. It is a beautiful, quiet place with elk, deer and wild turkeys. There are tons of wild flowers in the summer.
Columbines, the Colorado state flower, wild roses, paintbrushes and lots of wild chokecherries. With nice views of nearby mountains, open pastures, evergreen forests and aspen groves, it looks like it did 100 years ago. Plus, there are a couple of ponds for your dogs to cool off in. Since the first cattle, the ranch has also been home to goats, chickens, horses, and now more goats, alpacas and llamas. And of course the Great Pyrenees ranch dogs.
I had a house built a few years ago and live on the property full time. The ranch is surrounded by Pike National Forest with the Colorado Trail connecting the property in a number of places. Some of the highest ranked mountain bike trails are nearby. There are lots of places on and off the property to hike, mountain bike and ride your horse. On a clear night you can see thousands of stars and hear coyotes howl. For a drone video of the ranch check out: YouTube's Midsummer 2020 Flyover.
Elevation 8,000 feet, Average Summer Temperatures: Days 60-80 f, Nights 45-60 f, Sunshine Average 73-80%, Colorado Trail Segment 3, USGS Maps: Windy Peak; Green Mountain quadrangles. This is the official info. Basically, the weather is usually similar to the Denver area - just 10 degrees cooler.
About 8 miles away is the small town of Bailey. It has just about everything you might need: small grocery store, coffee shops, gas, laundry, a dollar store, hardware store, camping and sports equipment, brew pub, winery, a few restaurants, potable water station and more.

🌲 Glen Isle Campgrounds – A Historic Riverside Retreat
Welcome to Glen Isle, a 125-year-old mountain resort along the North Fork of the South Platte River, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Originally reached by train, Glen Isle remains one of Colorado’s last surviving turn-of-the-century resort properties and offers a camping experience rich in history, natural beauty, and community.
Because Highway 285 follows the original railroad corridor that once brought visitors here, it runs nearby. We encourage guests to review the map before booking to be sure our location is the right fit for their camping style. Many guests appreciate the easy access along with the beauty of the river, surrounding forest, and nearby mountain trails.
🎣 Activities & Amenities
Campers enjoy:
• Fishing along the South Platte (no rod fees required)
• A 21-hole wooded disc golf course (free for campers)
• Rescue horses, miniature donkeys, and miniature goats
• Optional guided mini-donkey walks (paid experience)
• Bingo nights, camper music nights, and outdoor movie evenings (when scheduled)
• Recreation room with games
• Guided historic lodge tours and gift shop
• Tuesday Food Truck nights
• Trailhead ½ mile behind the property
• Walking distance to the Coney Island hot dog stand
• About 30 miles from Red Rocks Amphitheatre
Glen Isle is a historic gathering place rather than a remote backcountry campground, and guests may see other campers and activity around the lodge, especially on summer weekends. Seasonal insects are part of the natural river environment during warmer months.
Campsites are currently first-come, first-served within designated camping areas as we transition toward reservable individual sites.
🔥 Fire Policy
Due to drought conditions and wildfire risk, wood fires and charcoal are not permitted. Propane fire rings and cooking equipment are welcome. Propane tanks are available to rent for $25. A community fire ring may be used when restrictions allow.
🚗 Important Arrival Note
Please do not turn at the Coney Island Boardwalk. Glen Isle is located ½ mile farther west on the same side of Highway 285. The road behind Coney Island is not maintained for passenger vehicles and should not be used to access the property.

Our stay was great! The mountainview was beautiful. There were lots of bunnies hopping around. Loved the big bullfrog down in the pond. The shower was warm and great water pressure. We were in the mountain view camping spot - was great in the evening. If gonna hang in the morning would suggest a tent with some shade. But otherwise

This was exactly what we hoped it would be. We needed a place to stay as we traveled through Colorado in our campervan. We wanted to be close to red rocks for a concert...and this fit the bill perfectly. The property has a cool artsy industrial / rural vibe. It was quiet and the restroom and shower area, although shared, were clean and tidy. Randy showed us his shop which was a bonus since my son is also a maker. This is where the magic happens.. The trails in the area were amazing.
We hope to stay there again when we return.

Excellent RV spot with great views!! The camp was very quiet and peaceful with helpful staff. The bathhouse was one of the cleanest bathrooms of any RV resort I’ve been to. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!

Perfect site for a Red Rocks concert just a few miles away. Randy was a great host and helped us out with our tent stake dilemma (we forgot our stakes!). Bring drinking water--there is well water for washing. Quiet and super relaxed atmosphere.

This was the second time that I've stayed with Sabin and Randy. They're both great! They are conveniently located only minutes from downtown Morrison and Red Rocks. I would and have recommended to friends.

This was a great little spot for a few nights in Denver. Super cute and felt very private with the fence.

The site is just as described - Beautiful views charged with artists' energy. We pulled in just as it was getting dark and discovered we had a fast leak from a roofing screw we picked up on the highway. Host Randy saved the moment by not only providing a floor jack, but also plugging the tire in his workshop. As I tightened the last lug nut, the rain started. What would have been a soggy bummer start to our vacation turned into a beautiful moment with our new friend.

Spacious place to park our trailer, not right next to the house. My kids loved seeing the goats and chickens, easy to get to Broomfield/Erie for day trips.

Absolutely amazing spot right next to Red Rocks and Morrison. The Camp hosts were incredible and the warm shower was much needed after a warm sweaty day. I can’t wait to come back.

Sabin and Randy are amazing hosts, have just the cutest property, neighbors, and pets! Being within walking distance, if desired, to the town or the amphitheater, is just a plus. Thank you both 🙏

Incredible people and calm and beautiful space! Not only amazing hosts. A beautiful shower and bathroom! I booked something after and it turned out to be a disaster and they offered their space in a bind and saved my life. I can’t speak highly enough of their kindness and generosity. Great energy here!!

Great spot for camper parking for us. Although we didn’t stay on the property you definitely could and it would be enjoyable! Michelle was a pleasure to work with! Highly recommend!

We loved being in Michelle's Perfect Driveway. She is wonderful. She answered all our questions and having WI-Fi is always nice. She was centrally located in a nice area between all the places we needed to be during our time in Colorado. I would definitely stay here again if we get a chance to come back. We had our 4 cats with us and they did really well in this quiet area.

We enjoyed our brief stay at Bizzy Bee Farm. 🐝 The panorama of the front range was spectacular! It was an ideal spot for viewing Western sky sunsets in the adirondack chairs. The BB farm is a quiet and peaceful country setting, yet close to restaurants and shopping. The site for our RV was level and entrance/exit was straightforward. Elizabeth was responsive and helpful.

I paid for a parking spot with access to a hot shower and that's exactly what I got!
The shower was awesome and if I'd had more time, I'd have done another.
I was able to get a really good spot so I could sit in the back of my Prius and enjoy the mountain view. And in the morning, the Big Dipper greeted me.
Lovely spot!

Sabine's camp set up is terrific. Great location, easy to find with thoughtful amenities. The views are lovely and if you're even a bit of a birder the birds are amazing. We will definitely stay here again!!

I've tent camped here quite a few times as I grew up in the small town nearby. It is a great location if you're looking to do activities in a city area. There is some hiking in the park and the reservoir is always fun! There are local stores and gas everywhere. Overall, not bad but definitely city camping.
