Colorado Guest Ranch Celebrates Good Food

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

One of the best things about a family dude ranch vacation is the food.Our food is cause for celebration. All that fresh mountain air and activities like fishing, horseback riding and hiking stimulate the appetite, and Chef Wray Warner’s food satisfies like none other.

Wray is equally at home in the kitchen or manning a grill by the Rio Grande River. He enjoys serving up steak cooked to your tastes, creating wonderfully subtle soups, and wielding a pastry bag. We love to eat it all!

Not only does Wray’s food taste great – it looks great. The 4th of July cake pictured at right is almost too pretty to eat…. almost. The first cut hurt a bit, but trust me, it was worth it.

Meal time is a wonderful experience at 4UR Colorado guest ranch. It’s a time when families come together after mornings and afternoons of various activities. It’s a time to share stories, laugh, and relax. Maybe the food is one reason our guests tend to form such strong bonds with each other, returning year after year to see one another again. We all feel so good after tucking into fresh salads, smoked local beef and desserts like the one pictured here that we crave recreating the experience.

We look forward to getting to know you throughout your stay at our family dude ranch – out on the trail, side by side in the river, and over a delicious meal.

Kids Stay Free Dude Ranch Vacations

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

Do you have a blossoming equestrian at home? Bring your kids for free this summer!I was in love with horses as a young girl (a continuing love affair!), and not much would have made me happier than hearing my parents say, “We’re all going to a guest ranch this summer for a week!” Let us help you make dreams come true and create great memories during 4UR Ranch’s Kids Stay Free weeks. This is new special from us. During the weeks of June 5-12 and Aug. 14-21 bring your kids to 4UR for all the fun at no additional cost to you.

A stay at 4UR is more than a horseback riding vacation, we have anĀ  outstanding kids program where your tots will be hiking, playing and swimming. We even have a big sleepover night in the lodge! At the end of the week, the kids have a rodeo to show off all their new cowboy and cowgirl skills. It’s a great time for all.

Parents will also have plenty to entertain them during the vacation in the Rocky Mountains. We have delicious meals and fine dining every day, a tasteful selection of wines and spirits, and of course the hot springs are here. Ride, shoot trap and most important relax. Enjoy time with the ones you love the most, and do it at a great lowered price.

Make sure to call us for all the details on our kids stay free weeks at 719-658-2202.

Adults Only Guest Ranch Weeks

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

4UR isn’t holding any family ranch vacations right now, but we do have special times allotted this summer for those with kids and those that are looking for a bit of solace from the hustle and bustle of children. Look forward to the last two weeks in August being adult only weeks for Rocky mountain vacations at 4UR. The ranch is always a place where peace and quiet can be found, but sometimes it is good to have a little grown-up time, where you can let your hair down and enjoy the hot springs and swimming pool without any floaty toys in the water with you.

Dining has always been an important aspect of our Western vacations. We actually open up our dining room to non-4UR guests from Creede, so that if they want to have some fine dining they don’t have to drive all the way to Denver! This can be a wonderful time during adult only week to share some fine wine and food with your travel companions and the new friends you will meet at the ranch. Swap fishing stories, hiking favorites, and enjoy a relaxing dip in the natural hot springs before you retire to your comfortable cabin.

Take the time to find your peace of mind through the variety of great activities we have at the ranch. Fly fishing might be your tonic: the cool gurgle of Goose Creek is sure to soothe. For me personally, there is little more relaxing than getting on horseback and taking to the trails. The rhythm of the animal’s movements always allows me to think, and get outside myself for a while.

Whatever it may be, come to 4UR for an adults only dude ranch vacation and find a little peace of mind.
