One of a Kind, Perfect Mountain Retreat on 750 private acres

This is a one of kind unique mountain lodge retreat. The amenities of this upscale property are abundant. The lodge has 5 and 1/2 bathrooms. An indoor/outdoor gas fireplace share the same wall in the great room that leads to the deck. A large kitchen is ready for any function. An in ground hot tub that would resemble a small pool is located off the back deck. A water feature adds to the wonderful sounds of nature. All wheel drive are needed for winter months.
This is a one of a kind mountain lodge retreat like no other. It is not often that you can find a home like this with your own 750 acres of private hiking and fishing with all the amenities of this upscale property. Whether you are a large group or just like a large house this mountain ranch has something for everyone. The home has 6 bedrooms that have spots for up to 14 or more, king beds to queen beds to twins and day beds, there is room for all ages. There is also a 7th bedroom which is not a legal one so it is not counted as one. The lodge has 5 and 1/2 bathrooms. An indoor/outdoor gas fireplace share the same wall in the great room that leads to the deck. A large modern kitchen is ready for any function and is well equipped. If you are ready for a grill-off or just want to grill outdoors, two twin gas grills are ready for your use on the deck. An in ground hot tub that would resemble a small pool is located off the back deck. A water feature adds to the wonderful sounds of nature. For added fun you can play a game on the bocci ball court or throw some horse shoes. There is a game room in the barn that has a pool table, foosball, pop- a- shot and air hockey. The owners of this property also own the ranch next door which can be added if you need more space. It sleeps 8 more. This property is within 1/2 mile of the lodge and it is all on private land. We plow the road but you will need an all wheel drive vehicle in the winter months.
This ranch is an amazing place with things to do that you would never find at a normal vacation rental. 5 ponds with natural water rolling threw the ranch. Each property has its own exclusive pond which are stocked with fish. There is also 1 other common pond stocked and 2 others ponds that are not. Wildlife can be found everywhere and its hard to not see deer and elk enjoying the ranch. We have are own hiking trails on the ranch which are open threw out the 750 acres. Also national forest access is very near by with more hiking and exploring opportunities.
Taking care of this ranch is my full time job and I am around during the work week and occasional on weekends. 
I have a welcome guide that explains all the National Forest is nearby and hiking, rafting, tubing, skiing, horseback ridding, and much more.

Amazing experience!
This is a beautiful, well kept property. Everything was very convenient & comfortable. Overall favs…the view & the hot tub. I would expect lots of snow during the winter months. There are plenty of toys to play in the snow. There is ample space to spread out & individual families to have their own space. You will not want to leave the ranch once you get there, so I’d bring everything you need when you come. The host, Jeff was very helpful & knowledgeable. Overall…..AWESOME!!!

It was just a great property for us to just hang out, play cards, pool. Relaxing in the hot tub was great. The view from deck is absolutely spectacular. Jeff was awesome and easy to communicate with, he gave great directions to reach Windance. My wife loved that she was celebrated at Windance Ranch.

Awesome property
This is an amazing spot in gorgeous country. There is room to roam on the property, which is also close to horseback-riding, tubing, and Glenwood Springs. Activities are plentiful for kids: boating, fishing, bocce ball, a fire ring and hot tub top the list. Great deck for evenings. Better even than the pictures. Property manager is readily accessible.

Incredible Mountain Retreat
Love, love, love this place! It’s exactly what we needed - peace in the mountains with spectacular views. House was great, working with jeff was great, solitude was great…. I didn’t realize that the property was as remote as it was (20 - 25 mins from 70) but that was part of the overall experience. You literally hear nothing but nature and the drive to the highway is actually quite beautiful. Would recommend this property to anyone!

Best VRBO ever
This property is beyond description, and better than the online pictures can portray. Our family reunion was enhanced so much by the beautiful setting and by all the wonderful activities available for adults and kids. Great fishing, hiking around, and games and a lovely large house to hang out in, with plenty of room to either be together or to escape for some private time. The property manager, Jeff, was accessible and responded quickly to any needs. We hope to return!

We had a group of 12 ranging from late 30's to late 70's. There was something for all of us to do. We arrived on Wednesday and never left the property until check out on Saturday morning. Jeff the property manager was always eager to answer any questions that we had. Heaven on Earth!!

This home was lovely! There were 8 adults and 7 grandchildren, ages 14 yrs to10 months. Plenty of space for everyone. Enjoyed fishing and kayaking at ponds, walking, playing pool (grandparents won) air hockey table needs a bit of cleaning, everyone enjoyed hot tub. The views would have been perfect except for the smoke. The best was the nature we saw, the rabbits, deer and especially the hummingbirds! Jeff, the host, was very nice and helpful.

Exceptional!
We had a family reunion at the Windance Lodge home. It exceeded our expectations and by the pictures we expected a lot! The house is beautiful! We spent two days at the house. We kayaked, paddle boarded, hiked, saw deer and bison, fished, had a corn hole tournament and enjoyed the gorgeous sunrise from the back porch! We spent a day in Vail and a day in Glenwood Springs. Jeff was easy to communicate with and very helpful. He gave us tips on beautiful hikes on the property that were perfect for our family and was very helpful with our trips off the property! We would absolutely stay at this one of a kind property again! Thank you, Jeff, for sharing your gorgeous home and spectacular piece of land with us! We will never forget our time in Gypsum!

Simply Amazing
This house was simply amazing. Everything was clean and well stocked. There is a ton of room here but we mostly stayed on the back porch relaxing and soaking in the amazing views. There were 13 of us total and had plenty of room for everyone. Management was easy to get in contact with and made us feel right at home. Every day we had 3 deer come hang out. Only bad thing to say is that we had to leave. We're already looking to book next summer. Thanks for everything.

From the views to the hot tub to the house itself everything was amazing. We brought a school group and it was a great chance for the students to bond. Probably the nicest rental I have ever stayed in. Jeff, the caretaker, was especially awesome, as he helped us out a couple times and made check in and check out easy.

Great retreat out in the mountains
This is a great retreat out in the mountains. It offers lots of rooms and bathrooms to accommodate a large size group and family. The instructions provided by the agent were accurate and helps with the directions of getting there as the maps(google/apple) does not take you anywhere close to the place. There weren't any concerns but a few hiccups along the way were 1. We had to provide IDs for everyone that was going to stay there. 2. Once you receive the acess code , you want to write it down / save it as you don't have signal there . Wifi is provided once you get inside . The place has lots of activities to do and is very well maintained. Beautiful place and would book it again as we all had a blast and made great memories.

Beautiful property
We used this spot as an intimate wedding venue and I couldn’t have been happier! We had both the cabin and the lodge, and used the small cabin as the ceremony site because the view was so killer. The property is so large you can’t see any other places, and we were there the first week of October and the fall colors were insane! I don’t know if this review is for the lodge or cabin so I’ll mention both. The cabin is small and rustic, very very cute, could see going back as just a family trip. The lodge is big and modern with more amenities. We hung out here far more as a group since there were 15 of us. Be prepared for a drive, it’s about 45 minutes from anything, but the drive is nice. Communication with the property manager was challenging before we booked, but once we booked it was totally fine. Would highly recommend both spots, couldn’t ask for a better spot!
