Romance in the Rockies
Find romance nestled in the Rocky Mountains at the luxury dude ranch Vista Verde, located just north of Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

Best “Bridle Party” Ever
I had the idea to surprise my bride; but VVR really did all the work and made it seamless. Not only did we have the best “bridle-party” ever, but Ben Martin officiated – marrying us on horseback amid the peak fall foliage and Colorado mountains. It was incredible. Later we returned to our cabin all decked out with romantic touches (roses, chilled champagne, chocolate covered strawberries) and even a “Just Married” banner. The Staff at VVR is truly without par. They are very thoughtful, always a step ahead and very accommodating. I couldn’t have pulled off our elopement without them. Moreover, what better way is there to honeymoon than spending a week (or two) at VVR? I strongly recommend a romantic adventure at VVR. If you so desire, the Routt County Town Clerk in Steamboat is fantastic too. — Tom W.

Nothing Short of Magical
Our 30th wedding anniversary was nothing short of magical, and Vista Verde Ranch will forever be the place where that magic lives. After visiting the ranch the winter before, we fell in love with everything that makes Vista Verde extraordinary—the sparkling snow, the gentle horses, the incredible food and wine, the endless activities, and most of all, the warm and genuine staff. We knew immediately that this was where we wanted to renew our vows. — Janet

Magnificent Mountain Setting
