NOTE: The home is in the mountains at 8000 feet and does NOT have A/C because Temperatures average about 15 degrees cooler than downtown in the summer, and it rarely requires additional cooling beyond a fan. Fans are provided in bedrooms and living room, we also have a mobile evap cooler. Outside Amenities include: Hot Tub, 2 Grills, 1 BBQ/Smoker & 1 propane, Umbrella Table w/ seating for 6, Hammock, Double Wood Swing, Child’s Play Area (Slides, Swings, Climbing wall), Fire pit for campfire fun (use subject to local fire restrictions).

Stars are amazing here at 8000 feet above sea level and well away from city lights. On clear nights (especially in Wintertime) you can see the Milky Way spilling across the night sky)! The only cell tower up here is AT&T, so if you don't have their service, then no worries, we provide a landline (including long-distance w/in 48 mainland states). Inside the house is all hardwood or tile. We are a no-shoe house, so we recommend you bring a pair of slippers. Within a few minutes drive to Open Space and Recreation areas Gross Reservoir and Walker Ranch, for hiking, fishing, non-motorized boating (e.g. kayaking/canoeing), picnic areas, and breathtaking views of the Sunset. Lovely area! *Guests must understand that this is a working Ranch and that the Owner/s or helper may be on the land in a private fenced-off area that isn't part of the Vacation Rental. We greatly respect our guests' privacy and will never go into the main Ranch House or surrounding guest area at any time during guests' stay.

Kim met us and walked us through the entire house when we arrived. The house is so spacious, comfortable and well-stocked with everything you need to cook should you choose to. Our gracious hostess, who was easy to reach and responsive, even provided goodies for us and treats to feed the horses. We enjoyed the hot tub and our grandsons played outside on the play set for hours. The location was perfect for visits to Nederland, Boulder and hiking. While we had no cell signal, the internet was very good at the house. Morning and evening walks around the quiet neighborhood began and ended perfect days at this lovely property.

Surrounded by nature

Everything was great. We loved the horses. We fed them all of the apples and carrots. We visited the magical hut and it was very cool. We enjoyed the pool table, hammock, and hot tub (although the water was cloudy from the minerals in the water). We loved seeing the birds, chipmunks, and bunnies. The surroundings were beautiful and peaceful. We were able to visit Table Mountain and the Walker Ranch Trail nearby. We had a wonderful time.

Rocky Mtn Ranch is a Unique Gem!

We loved our stay at the ranch. The home is the perfect combination of cozy and spacious. Grandpa loved reading his book in the comfy living room while Grandma played pool with young adult grandson. Easy drive to Boulder. We enjoyed feeding the horses too! I felt like I was staying with my favorite aunt. Host Kim thinks of everything that you may need for your stay. Very well stocked kitchen, plenty of bath towels and bedding.Kim even made us some delicious brownies! Don’t miss Canyon Coffee, which is a just a 5 minute drive from the ranch. Great quality coffee drinks and pastries and a large gluten free selection with a quirky vibe and outdoor seating. We highly recommend the Rocky Mountain Ranch !

Beautiful property

It was a joy to stay here. We were traveling from out of state to take our daughter to see her specialists in Aurora and to be close enough to enjoy the mountains. This was the perfect location for accessing both locations. The property owners left apples and carrots to feed the horses, which my kids loved. The boys enjoyed the pool table and metal detecting outside. The home was clean and we enjoyed being able to cook in the very organized kitchen.

Our stay at Kim’s ranch was incredible! My fiancé and I wanted to do a destination wedding in the mountains and the ranch was a perfect location for us. She knew we were going to be getting married during our stay and she was so thoughtful to even plant some beautiful flowers by the house that would bloom in time for our stay. She also put rose petals on the bed shaped as a heart for when we arrived.Kim and her husband built an amazing Cob on the property and it was perfect for my wife to get ready for the wedding and make sure I didn’t see her before she walked down the aisle.She cleared an area for our wedding and had built an altar with perfect mountain view behind it for the ceremony. During the wedding she assisted our guests with parking and even took some great pictures and a video of the ceremony. Our kids especially loved going to say hi and feeding the horses every day. I really liked being close to a number of trails to hike.Being that it is in the mountains there are not a lot of stores, restaurants or bars in the area, but you can get to the city in about 30 minutes to get the supplies you need while you are staying at the ranch. There is also a little gas station/shop right down the road to get a few essentials, but you will pay more there than going to the city.I would highly recommend staying at Kim’s ranch if you get the opportunity. We live in a decent sized city, and staying at an acreage in the mountains was perfect for us.

Awesome!!

Beautiful mountain getaway with hosts who were quick to respond to any questions or needs. There were so many special touches, even carrots and apples for us to feed the horses. It was the second visit at Evans Ranch for my two daughters and me. This time we brought with us a one year old grandbaby who enjoyed the whole week as much as we did. It is our hope to return again one day soon.

The comforts of home

The Evans Ranch was a perfect location for us to visit with local family. There is so much more room than the photos show. Kim was very accommodating and was even able to offer a screwdriver for a birthday project I was making for my 90 yo mother in law. We were able to find the Labyrinth up in the field and check out the Cobb house she is having built for her personal space. Such a peaceful and creative space.

Nice, quiet, and spacious! We were there for our daughter's small wedding ceremony. Kim made every effort to make sure we were comfortable and had what we needed. The home is very clean with lots of space! The wedding ceremony was on the property with trees and mountains in the background, and we had ample parking for our guests. There are horses on the property and Kim left carrots and apples for us to feed them. This is a great place for a family event or quiet get away!

Super Comfy Cozy!!

Such a wonderful, charming place to stay: quiet, calming, relaxing, and rejuvenating. And only a few miles up the canyon from the road that leads to Boulder, Golden, or Denver, so you don't have to drive a lot of windy roads if you don't want to. You can always continue up the road to Nederlands.... Although it's not ADA 'certified' our almost 90 year old aunt was able to maneuver around the place just fine with her walker and our 7 year old cat love the patio doors and big living room windows to look outside and try to figure out the horses. One morning while drinking coffee by the big living room windows a doe and two young ones came right by the window to say 'Hi'. Kim was very accessible and super great to chat with!!

About the host

Hosted by Kim

Host profile image
Property Owner has been in the hospitality and travel business for over 30 yrs, has owned her own 2 successful Storefront Travel Agencies with a specialty in scuba dive tours, and has worked on a yacht B&B. In 2012, she began offering her Ranch property for vacation rentals. She knows what good hospitality means and strives to make your experience on the Ranch a good one! If you have a special occasion, please advise the Owner in advance and she'll be happy to decorate for you. Special Events available for a fee. Catering and in-home cooking classes available with arrangement prior to arrival.

Why they chose this property

This is our family home. We liked the idea that we could share our slice of heaven with others looking for the true Rocky Mountain high experience!

When the owner /s in town, the family may be on land. It's 11 acres, so there's lots of room to roam! If owners are in town during a booking, they stay in a separate, private area with a separate entrance (which isn't part of the Vacation Rental). The owners respect guests' privacy but remain available to service if needed. Otherwise, owners will never enter the main Ranch House during your stay.

Special Events; parties, weddings, retreats, etc., and catering are available for extra fees. Must be arranged well in advance and pre- approved by the Owner.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful Views, wildlife, serenity, fresh mountain air, hiking and mountain biking nearby, close to skiing, gaming, and shopping. Drive time is 45 min to downtown Denver, 25-30 min to Boulder and Nederland, and 20 minutes to Downtown Golden.

Lovely Coal Creek Canyon Community. We are away from City lights so the Stars at night from our land are truly wonderful! Most of the time you can see the Milky Way -- extra special to gaze upon while soaking in the outdoor Hot Tub!
