Imagine spending Christmas with time to enjoy your loved ones, rather than shopping, cooking, cleaning and doing dishes. Our special holiday events include cutting the tree, making decorations, caroling on a sleigh and a fabulous Christmas Day feast. Read an excerpt from “Christmas in the Rockies” article from American Cowboy magazine.

Another Holiday tradition at Vista Verde is our Progressive Dinner. Beginning in the late-afternoon on New Year's Eve, we travel around the ranch either on skis or on the sleigh from one destination to the next with a different course served at each spot. After multiple courses at multiple destinations, we end up at Sweetheart's Parlor for a dessert extravaganza and to watch the ball drop in New York, on New York time. Hey, we like to get to bed early so the next morning everyone's ready to get up and head out into the snow again!
