Quartz Point Ranch: 20 beautiful acres to roam!

If you want to escape the city, why pick a house in side-by-side suburbia? Seasons of stunning surroundings await you! Come see our wildflower meadows bursting with a rainbow of color in the late spring and summer, aspen groves painted in gold, yellow and red in the fall, and trails through the woods blanketed in white for you to snowshoe in the winter. All these photos are ON THE RANCH, not "nearby" like so many listings post. Take a lovely walk on one of our several trails right out the back door.

Location:
Just 3 miles up the hill from Black Hawk (casinos, fine dining!), it is consistently a 75 minute drive from DIA. It is 2.5 miles to Black Hawk's brand new Hidden Treasure mountain bike trailhead, and of course all of the Indian Peaks Wilderness trailheads are just minutes north on the Peak to Peak Highway. Interstate 70 is 20 minutes to the south. The closest 2 ski areas are Loveland to the south and Eldora to the north. Rocky Mountain National Park is a 40 mile trip north up the Peak to Peak Scenic Byway, a spectacular drive.

IMPORTANT: 4WD/AWD AND GOOD SNOW TIRES REQUIRED OCT. 10 - MAY 10 unless otherwise advised. Message us any time for current conditions.

The Talley House:
The house is the 50-year-old original home on the ranch. It has 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom upstairs, a bedroom with a brand new bathroom downstairs, along with spacious living, dining room and den areas. The kitchen has new appliances. It is surrounded on three sides with large outdoor deck areas.

The house is next to the barn, the green house, and the caretaker's house, so you will see the owners and the caretaker, with our many dogs working in the barn and around the property while you are here. We are busy making and marking trails, building fences, taking care of the constant fire-mitigation work, and restoring this 50-year-old house, barn and ranch that we have been blessed with.

Awesome property, great hosts

We had a great week-long stay at Quartz Point Ranch! The house was quite large and comfortable, and had everything we needed to cook a big Thanksgiving meal. We really enjoyed exploring the property as well. Kris, Mike and Brandi were all so welcoming and we felt at home. Would definitely recommend a stay here!

The house is very clean and perfect for 3 families - lots of room and large dining table. The description of the access road and directions are good but important to pay close attention to. I highly recommend an suv or truck with high clearance for the bumps and rocks in the road. The kitchen was well stocked as were bathrooms with lots of soft towels! My main questions were how to engage the heaters bc it was a cold weekend and I also would have liked to know in advance that the refrigerator ice maker was not available (but ice trays were provided). We saw a moose and hiked the trails. The owners were kind and very communicative! We recommend and hope to stay again. (Also I’d bring my own fan bc it’s super quiet in the area but I’m not used to that!)

Amazing Property!

Great place to stay with a group! We booked this property for a family Christmas and had such a wonderful stay! Kristen was so welcoming, and even emailed ahead of time to see if we celebrated Christmas. When we arrived, she had a fresh-cut tree from the property , lights and ornaments ready for us! So incredibly thoughtful! We have stayed in many rental properties over the years, but none with this much property, we loved the private hiking trails! Also was a great place to stay with our multi-generational family and our dogs. There were multiple communal spaces and an open floor plan. Great views and well appointed. We look forward to coming back, and would highly recommend this home!

Family getaway

We had a great experience! Very cozy home with plenty of room for our family! Kris even had a Christmas tree and decorations set up for us which was lovely! There was a pack and play available for our daughter. Our teen loved having her own space in the main level bedroom. Our golden retriever loved playing in the fresh snow. We explored snowshoeing and think this would be great for hiking in the summer or fall. Very peaceful and cozy! I loved snuggling up in the music room with my morning coffee and watching the snow fall. We will be back!

Perfect Family Getaway at Quartz Point Ranch

We had such a fantastic time! My three adult kids, our Bernese Mountain Dog, and I stayed from Thursday to Sunday, and it was exactly what we needed. Booking and chatting with the host through the Vrbo app was easy, and everything went smoothly from beginning to end.The house was just right for us—three cozy bedrooms with five comfy beds, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook all the meals we brought. We barely left the ranch, only venturing out once to check out the local casinos for a couple of hours. We loved having so much space to ourselves!The groundskeeper was super friendly. She came by to introduce herself and her pup, but gave us plenty of privacy throughout our stay. We took a hike around the property, mostly through snow, and got some amazing photos. We didn’t spot any wildlife, but we saw lots of signs of moose and deer, which was still pretty cool.The ranch was so cozy and welcoming—it felt like a true home away from home. We all agreed we didn’t want to leave! If you're looking for a peaceful, scenic spot to spend time with loved ones, I highly recommend Quartz Point Ranch.

Relaxing mountain stay

This property is gorgeous. The house itself is cozy and has everything you need. The beds were really comfy and the downstairs was cozy for relaxing mornings and winding down at night. The dirt road going up to the property definitely adds to the adventure. Our 4-wheel drive rental definitely came in handy. The view from the porch is gorgeous and we loved drinking our coffee there in the morning or star gazing at night. The owners and caretaker are so friendly and our interactions with them and their dogs made our stay even better. It was about 45 mins to get to Red Rocks, Denver and Nederland (where we took day trips to). A little out of the way, but the property was worth the extra drive time. Would stay here again and would recommend.

Wonderful Mountain Getaway

I loved my stay here. I brought my 2 dogs and we would walk the property each morning and evening enjoying the quiet and wildlife (rabbits, chipmunks, moose, BEAR!). The house was roomy and the owners have obviously put a lot of love into all the details. It is close to some great hiking areas and cool CO towns like Nederland. Been gone a day and already want to go back!

Wonderful Mountain Home

We stayed just over a week at QPR and enjoyed it. It was a little scenic slice of Colorado. Kris and Michael were wonderful hosts. The house was perfect size and a place we could really unplug to escape. It had most everything one would need. The bed was quite comfortable and fitted with flannel sheets to keep you warm during the cool mountain nights. I have already recommended it to a friend, and would recommend it to you, too.

Perfect retreat

We stayed at the Quartz Point Ranch to celebrate my husband's birthday, and the property made for the perfect retreat. The views are stunning, the property had lots of area to explore, and the home was stocked with everthing we needed (and then some). There were numerous thoughtful touches that truly made this feel like our home away from home. The caretaker and owners were very kind, and communication was excellent. We would love to stay again.

This is a wonderfully updated home with incredible views and plenty of great amenities. The house is well stocked and has tons of space. Kris was super easy to reach helped out with any questions I had. The house is fairly secluded and surrounded by lots of beautiful open space and amazing views. This is nice and close to Black Hawk and Central City, the Maryland Mountain trail system, and tons of activities. I can't wait to come back in summer and see this beautiful place in a new way!
