Located near Winter Park and Granby, this mountain retreat offers the perfect balance of adventure, privacy, and comfort — whether you're planning a romantic escape or a snowy getaway with family.

40 Acres of Winter Adventure — Right Outside Your Door

One of the biggest differences between Arapaho Valley Ranch and typical resort lodging? Space.

Instead of crowds and parking lots, you have 40 private acres of Colorado winter to explore. There are endless things to do in Grand County in winter, and many of them on property. Guests can enjoy:

  • Snowshoeing and cross-country skiing

  • Sledding and tubing hills for all ages

  • Ice skating

  • Winter hiking and wildlife viewing

  • Evenings in the hot tub under star-filled skies

Ski Nearby — Stay Somewhere Peaceful

If skiing is part of your ideal winter getaway in Colorado, you’re in the right place.

Winter Park and Granby Ranch are both an easy drive away, offering terrain for skiers every level.

But instead of staying in a crowded base village, you return to:

  • Quiet mountain views

  • Open skies

  • No lift-line energy lingering into the evening

  • A cozy fire or warm yurt waiting for you

It’s the best of both worlds — mountain access and mountain serenity.

A Romantic Winter Cabin in Colorado

Winter naturally slows things down. And that’s exactly what makes it ideal for couples.

A romantic winter cabin in Colorado means:

  • Snow drifting outside your window

  • Coffee with mountain views

  • Evenings by the fire

  • Stargazing from the hot tub

Grand County feels tucked away without being difficult to reach from Denver — making it perfect for weekend escapes or longer winter retreats.

More Than a Place to Stay

Some destinations are just where you sleep between activities.

Arapaho Valley Ranch is different.

Here, the property itself is part of the experience — 40 acres of quiet winter beauty where adventure and relaxation happen naturally.

Whether you spend your days snowshoeing on property, exploring nearby ski areas, or simply enjoying the stillness of the mountains, this is the kind of winter getaway in Colorado that feels restorative.
