Check In and Check Out
You are welcome to check-in anytime after 4 p.m. on the day of arrival and check-out is 9:30 a.m. on the day of departure. For early arrivals or late departures we will help make your travel day run smoothly by taking you to Steamboat for shopping or lunch if your flight schedule leaves you with extra time. While we do our best to accommodate early arrivals or late departures, depending on the schedule of other guests, special accommodations may not be possible in all circumstances. Guided activities are not included on the day of check-in or check-out, but you are welcome to enjoy the ranch facilities and amenities if you arrive early, or need to stay a bit later.

Deposit and Cancellation Policy
A 50% deposit is required to secure most reservations, and the balance is due at check-out. For parties of 10 or more, complete pre-payment is required 90 days from arrival.
We realize and appreciate the risks that our guests assume by traveling, and we recommend trip insurance as a way to protect your travel investment. Unlike a hotel or large resort, our small capacity means cancellations impact our business and staff significantly. Despite keeping a waitlist, we have found that last-minute cancellations are difficult to rebook. Our cancellation policy ensures the sustainability of our business, so we can be here in years to come for you to enjoy!
- Your deposit will be refunded less a 4% cancellation fee if cancellation is made more than 90 days prior to arrival.
- Between 90 and 60 days prior to arrival you may roll your deposit to a stay in the following 12-month window.
- Within 60 days of arrival we regret that no refund is possible, regardless of the reason for the cancellation. This includes illness, quarantine, or local or state restrictions on travel from your home destination for the dates of your planned stay. However, you are welcome to send another party of the same size in your place.
- With weather and air travel creating travel delays from time to time, if your arrival is delayed by a day or more we will work with you to adjust your stay, availability permitting.
We highly recommend that you purchase trip insurance and understand the coverage. We can help you purchase trip insurance via Red Sky Insurance when you book your stay for 6.95% of the deposit amount.
