Weekend Trip to Mtn. View Sheep Wagon

Such a great getaway with AMAZING hosts and views! Mosquitoes were abundant over 4th of July weekend, but between citronella candles and DEET bug spray it was more of a nuisance than a deal killer. Highly recommended, and can’t wait to come back when the aspens change!!

Weekend Trip to Mtn. View Sheep Wagon

Beautiful setting with a creek and views. You will not find a more compassionate hostess. Stunning country with nearby hiking in abundance.

Weekend Trip to Valley of the Bear Ranch

Exactly as advertised. Very private pasture with good views. Cute baby goats to watch. A friendly guardian sheep dog will come to visit. The site is relatively level with a picnic table.

Weekend Trip to Buffalo Ranch

Just right for us as we passed through the area. Great sunset, could hear the Yampa River, and the view was nice

Weekend Trip to Buffalo Ranch

Easy to find with a GREAT fireplace pit! It was nice to have a place we could bring the dogs to without worrying about other dogs around.. Thanks!

2 nights at Buffalo Ranch

Easy access, pretty view, quiet, loved not having a lot of people around us so the dogs could play. Owner was very nice and let us come a little early and provide wood for the fire. Definitely would recommend and will come back again

Weekend Trip to Bear Mountain Outfitters

Beautiful land! The accommodations, although rustic, were very nice. There was just myself and my husband and four small pups, but can accommodate many people. It was very secluded and remote which is what we wanted for the weekend. The shower was a very pleasant surprise! Was easy to communicate with Kelly and her husband came to show us around for check in. Would definitely come back!

4 nights at Buffalo Ranch

A perfect spot to Winter Camp for an excellent weekend of skiing at Steamboat. Our host Taylor was more than accommodating and super helpful for me and the gang. An easy trip to town, in a nice quiet area with amazing open skies. Would definitely recommend to any van, truck, or rooftop tent campers.

Weekend Trip to Buffalo Ranch

We stayed in our camper van to ski at steamboat and Taylor’s place was perfect for what we needed. About 20 minutes away from the resort. Taylor was quick to respond with any questions we had. We will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to 22 West Cabins & Recreation

The Moose Haven cabin had incredible views and charm for days. It's rustic and we loved it. Deb and the everyone we interacted with at 22 West Cabins were super friendly and helpful. We had an incredible time and will stay here again.

Valley of the Bear Ranch

4 sites · RVs, Tents175 acres · Yampa, CO

This land has been my family's ranch since the early 70's. We love it here and are happy to share it with campers that wish to enjoy the valley and respect the land. More about this campsite: The site is in a small ranch pasture along the Bear River near willow, birch, and large cottonwood trees. From the campsite there are views of the Flat Top mountains and ancient volcanic necks. Very quiet except for ranch activity and the friendly livestock guardian dogs (who will visit, and they bark to protect the sheep and goats at night) - it's a working ranch and you may have to contend with talkative sheep or dodge the occasional cow pie!

High Tide Ranch

High Tide Ranch stands out as a unique working cattle ranch nestled just outside the picturesque town of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. With over 25 years of dedicated stewardship by Larry and Mary Kay Monger, this ranch is steeped in history and tradition, sitting beneath the majestic Elk Mountain, also known as Sleeping Giant, in the scenic lower Elk River Valley. This thriving cattle ranch has been operational for over a century, originally established as a sheep ranch by Larry’s family in the early 1900s. Transitioning to cattle ranching under Larry’s father, the ranch has evolved into a successful cow/calf operation that keeps the Mongers busy year-round. The cattle are divided into two groups, with one herd grazing at the Carpenter Ranch in Hayden, managed by the Nature Conservancy, while the other remains on the hay meadows during winter, receiving daily hay feed. As calving season approaches in March, Larry and Mary Kay diligently check on the cows, ensuring that any needing assistance receive help. Once calving is complete, branding day arrives, where each calf is marked with the H-connected-T brand and given necessary immunizations.
