Serious Fun On and Off The Ranch

Your Home Ranch vacation puts a great Colorado adventure vacation experience right at your doorstep. We offer our guests a wide variety of outdoor adventures and healthy activities to suit any age, taste or desire.

Stay with us and fly fish or raft the wild and scenic Elk River with our guides; learn natural horsemanship techniques and improve your horseback riding skills with a wrangler; or take a long hike up into the Mt. Zirkel Wilderness with one of our hiking guides.

Our Colorado dude ranch is known as one of the premier destinations in the west for summer horseback riding vacations, Colorado cross country skiing in the winter, and Colorado Fly Fishing throughout the year, but we offer our guests a wide variety of adventures in addition to the big three. Each season at The Home ranch offers distinctive opportunities for mild or wild adventures, and we invite you to peruse our website for more details on each seasonal offering.

We also give you and your family immediate access to some of the best travel outfitters in the Steamboat Springs, Colorado area.
