Tucked into the high country near Rocky Mountain National Park in Granby, Colorado, Arapaho Valley Ranch is a historic mountain retreat where cabins, tents, and open land invite you to slow down, explore, and reconnect with nature.

Adventure at Your Doorstep

Arapaho Valley Ranch is a place you come to on purpose. Set on 40 acres in Colorado’s high country near Monarch Lake, the ranch sits within the Arapaho National Forest, just outside the Indian Peaks Wilderness and a scenic drive from Rocky Mountain National Park. Open land, water, and quiet trails shape the day, creating a setting that feels grounded, spacious, and unhurried.

Stays at the ranch are simple and intentional — cabins, glamping, and seasonal campsites that keep you connected to the landscape while offering the comforts that matter. Whether your days are filled with paddling, hiking, and exploring, or with long mornings, campfires, and rest, the pace is yours to set.

From historic cabins to glamping and campsites, our accommodations balance simplicity with comfort. Private porches, fresh mountain air, and room to unwind are part of the experience, whether you’re here for a weekend escape or a longer stay. This is a place where mornings start quietly, evenings end around a fire, and your accommodations feel like a natural extension of the land — not a distraction from it.
