Majestic Dude Ranch | Colorado

Majestic has several cabin types to suit everyone. The standard ranch style cabins are great for smaller families between four and eight. These cabins have various configurations, but all feature a master bedroom with a king sized, Tempur-Pedic mattress and additional twin beds in separate rooms. The luxury suites are perfect for couples or single one or two group occupancy. These suites either have one king sized bed or two full beds and in-suite bath with a stand-up shower. Finally they have a couple of large luxury cabins which are offered to parties of eight or more. A large living room, porch, and floor-to-ceiling windows make these cabins perfect for large parties hoping to hang out after long days of activity. These cabins feature a master bedroom with a king sized bed, a second bedroom with a queen sized bed, and additional bedding in the upstairs loft. All mattresses are Tempur-Pedic.

The ranch offer numerous facilities to help make your stay with them memorable. There is an outdoor pool which is a favourite for both kids and adults. The hot tub and sauna help heal some of the sore muscles and is available at all times. Will you make use of the bottomless cookie jar?

The Saloon not only features locally crafted beers, but also some award winning wine that is grown and bottled less than an hour from the ranch. After a long day of activities there is a Games room featuring a pool table, darts, giant jenga, fooseball, ping-pong plus a collection of board games and puzzles.

For those who can’t get enough exercise, try the well equipped Gym which has unlimited access. There is Wi-Fi but it’s limited to the Lodge and not in the cabins. There is also a free washer and dryer with the detergent provided.

Early booking is recommended due to the size of the property and the number of cabins.

The ranch owns a herd of 70 horses which work at Majestic in the summer and then over-wintered in Arizona.

After being assigned a horse at the beginning of the week, you’ll have a chance to improve your riding skills every day. Each ride gets progressively longer until you’re given the option to go on an all-day or half-day ride each Thursday. On Wednesday, kids participate in a rodeo, which becomes a skills day during adult weeks later in the year.

The ranch is located at 8,000 feet, so the rides increase in technical difficulty and length as the week progresses. The wranglers will guide you to the very best views the San Juans have to offer!

The ranch activities are divided into two sections. In the summertime these revolve around non-stop family programmes. The ranch have a great team of counsellors who facilitate an action packed kids programme. This allows adult guests a stress free vacation as they have the opportunity to spend time with the whole family as well as time without the kids during parts of the schedule.

Communal meals are held three times a day and evening activities bring everyone together. Other activities offered are archery, skeet shooting, rafting, paintball, two ATVs. In the evening there are movies and karaoke nights.

They set aside some time at the end of August for adult only stays. Their adult only sessions offer a more laid back atmosphere that features wine and cheese tasting, appetizers and wine before every dinner, cooking classes, yoga sessions, complimentary riding lessons and free local beer in your fridge.
