The holiday whirlwind is coming to an end, and we are starting to peek into the New Year with anticipation of all that is ahead of us in 2014. We kick off the year with the transition to adult-only times at the ranch. Starting January 4 and continuing until just after Valentine’s Day, the ranch switches over to a playground for just adults. This time is historically a mix of couples seeking romantic getaways, friends gathering up for an adventurous winter vacation and singles coming to enjoy the camaraderie of others and the comfort of a small and intimate setting.
During our adult-only vacation period, the annual Winter Carnival comes to Steamboat Springs. To celebrate this event we are offering a special for Vista Verde guests to experience the long-standing Steamboat tradition of the Winter Carnival. Join us at the ranch from Feb 5-8, 2014 and you can extend your stay a day. We will set you up with a discounted hotel room for Saturday night right in Steamboat Springs. This allows you to watch the famous street events on Saturday, the night show that evening and then more festivities on Sunday morning in charming Steamboat Springs. Included in your stay is a Winter Carnival admission button.
Shortly after the Winter Carnival will be Valentine’s Day. This is a great time to whisk away your sweetheart to celebrate in a romantic winter wonderland. If you’d like to really woo your love we’ll start your Valentine’s Day off with breakfast in bed, followed by a day of as much outside activity as you desire. In the afternoon we’ll treat you to a private sleigh ride complete with hot toddies to keep you toasty warm. On Valentine’s Day evening the chefs will delight your taste buds with their popular aphrodisiac dinner. The rest is up to you to enjoy the serene setting, the cozy cabin and the bubbling hot tub with views of snow covered meadows and mountains.
Right after Valentine’s Day we switch back to family times at the ranch. Whether it’s winter vacation veterans or those trying out snow for the first time, we specialize in fun in the snow! And kids specialize in having more fun in snow than a puppy. So, this year break away from the beach and hit the snow at Vista Verde. For those booking a 7-night family vacation between February 22-March 8, mom and dad will get a complementary massage. An engaging kids program and a massage for mom and dad……it doesn’t get much more relaxing to be a parent on vacation than that!
Come experience Colorado in the winter at Vista Verde Ranch! The setting is magical, the adventures await and the staff is ready to serve you with genuine Western hospitality. Call us at 800-526-7433 to check availability.
