Historic Guest Ranch
The rentals at our historic guest ranch are located at the scenic and quaint McElmo Canyon, a Sedona-like setting in Southwest Colorado. There are over 5000 documented archaeological sites in this beautiful area waiting for you to explore, and the dark sky star gazing is so fabulous that you just cannot miss. The Ranch was once owned by a legendary cowboy, Elden Zwicker. Also, the road that leads to the Ranch has been called “Mormon Road” since early Mormons used it to migrate to Utah. The road is also nicknamed “Robber’s Path”, as Butch Cassidy is rumored to have hid his fortune in the Canyon.

We are in close proximity to worldly renown tourist attractions such as Durango, Mesa Verde, Hovenweep National Monument, Canyons of the Ancients, Monument Valley, Moab, Bears Ears National Monument, Pagosa Springs and Telluride…to just name a few.
