Fall Adult Only Ranch Holiday
Some guests call it summer camp for adults—but with fine wines, plush robes, private hot tubs, and evening turndown service. And honestly? We couldn’t agree more.
From mid-August through fall, Vista Verde Ranch transforms into a kid-free retreat, where the focus is all about adventure, relaxation, and great company. Expect lively conversations, unforgettable outdoor experiences, and the kind of freedom that makes you feel like a kid again—only with better drinks and a way comfier bed.
Saddle up, let loose, and get ready to whoop and holler through the Colorado mountains—because growing up doesn’t mean the fun has to stop.
Join us for an unforgettable adults-only escape!
Visit Colorado in Autumn
All-Inclusive Fall Foliage
August 17 – October 17, 2025
These weeks are very popular due to the fall foliage season. Our hallmark activities such as trail riding, horsemanship clinics, fly fishing, hiking, mountain biking, and more are offered during these weeks. It’s a great time to get out and explore the mountains with the aspens changing and the cooler weather.
This is also a great time for honeymooners who are looking for a unique honeymoon vacation that has a little more adventure than just laying around at a beach resort!
Cattle Round-Up Week
September 21 – 27, 2025
We have a partnership with a local rancher to help them manage their cow-calf operation. After being out on over 16,000 acres of grazing land, fall is the time to bring the cows home. For adventurous riders looking for a unique horseback riding vacation, this is a great time to explore amazing country, scale steep hillsides, climb over down trees, and help us bring the cows home.
Fall 5-Night Stays
October 5 – 10 or 12 – 17, 2025
The October stays pull in a mix of outdoor freedom and snuggling opportunities indoors. As we transition from summer to winter, the fall can be a mystical time at the ranch. It might be sunny and 70 degrees, or we can get snow, rain, and sometimes all of those in the same week!
It’s a great time to cozy up by the fire, soak in your private hot tub, or adventure out on horseback, or on foot, to explore the mountain vistas.
We eat more of our meals inside the Lodge, rather than outside or on the trail, due to shorter daylight hours and cooler temperatures, and the massive fireplace in the Main Lodge is typically going all day and into the evening for those wanting to relax and stay inside.
We head out for activities rain or shine, and it’s not unheard of to hike up to a high alpine lake and find snow during this time of year!
Flexible Fall Stays
October 19 – 24 or 26 – 31, 2025
Looking for a quick escape to the mountains? Our flexible Fall stays are adult-only and perfect for those who want a taste of ranch life without committing to a full week. Enjoy cozy accommodations, all-inclusive gourmet meals and activities, and the warm hospitality Vista Verde is known for. Fill your days with horseback riding, hiking, or simply unwinding in your private hot tub with a glass of wine. Whether it’s adventure or relaxation you seek, a few days at the ranch is the perfect recharge. Check below for available dates!
