As winter settles into the Rockies and the snow hushes the valley, many of us start to dream about what’s next: warm days, mountain air, and time spent outdoors with people we love. For us at Rawah Ranch, this is when summer starts to take shape.
Our season runs for only a few short months, early June through early October, which means each week here is something special. By planning your Colorado guest ranch vacation in winter, you’ll have your pick of dates, your favorite cabin, and a little extra time to start looking forward to it.
Why Winter Is a Wonderful Time to Plan Your Stay
Booking your Colorado summer vacation in the colder months has its advantages:
- First Choice of Dates: With fewer than 30 guests each week, space fills quickly. Booking now gives you the first choice of weeks for your Colorado summer family vacation.
- Cabins with Character: Every cabin at Rawah is unique; some overlook the river, others open toward the pasture, or sit near the main lodge. Planning early means you’ll find the perfect fit.
- Access to Specialty Weeks: Guests who book early often secure spots during favorite themed weeks, like our guests’ favorite, Bourbon Week.
- Extra Flexibility: With your stay set, you can plan travel and time off at your own pace. No rush, no scramble, just something wonderful to look forward to.
- Occasional Vacation Deals in Colorado: Each winter, we like to surprise guests with special offers like our Daylight Savings Package (details below).
Why Rawah Ranch Stands Apart
Tucked deep in the Laramie River Valley, Rawah isn’t a resort. It’s a small, family-style guest ranch surrounded by protected wilderness and steeped in the tradition of true Western hospitality.
- Private Valley Setting: Far from crowds, you’ll find peace, quiet, and clear Colorado skies stretching for miles.
- All-Inclusive Simplicity: As an all-inclusive ranch in Colorado, your stay includes lodging, dining, horseback rides, fly-fishing, and rotating nightly themed activities, everything you need for a seamless, restorative escape.
- Small by Design: Hosting fewer than 30 guests at a time keeps things personal. You’ll know your wranglers by name, and they’ll know yours.
- Rooted in History: For more than 75 years, Rawah has carried on a legacy of true Western Hospitality in the pristine wilderness we are honored to help protect.
- Authentic Western Adventure: Trail rides through alpine meadows, delicious dinners beneath a thousand stars, and mornings that start with the sound of the river; this is the West, as it was meant to be.
Daylight Savings Package – A Little Something for Early Planners
To make early planning even sweeter, our Daylight Savings Package runs through January 15, 2026. Book your 2026 Colorado guest ranch vacation early and choose one of two offers:
- Save $1,000 on your total stay, or
- Let the kids join in for 50% off with a four-night minimum.
It’s a simple way to make your Colorado family vacation even more memorable while enjoying the best Colorado package deals of the year.
