The Coach House is a one-of-a-kind retreat located on Crocker Ranch, a 1500-acre private working ranch with horses and cattle grazing on the pastures that surround this beautiful 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom pet friendly home. Enjoy the feeling of near solitude only 10 minutes from downtown Estes Park. Experience the stars in the night sky, the birds waking up in the morning and deer walking through the yard.

Turn off of highway 36, close the gate (keep the cows and horses in) and leave everyday life behind. Drive through the trees and across the pasture, park at The Coach House and let the vacation begin.

Enter the home into the kitchen and dining area. The wrap around windows make this room feel open and sunny. The wood burning fireplace will make it feel warm and cozy on chilly evenings. This large kitchen, with lots of counter space, has everything you need to make great meals for the whole family. The grill master can show off his skills to add to the culinary delights. Gather around the dining table or the picnic table on the deck and reconnect over dinner.

Walk through to the living area, comfy seating for everyone in front of a second wood burning fireplace. There is a TV on the mantle, making this a great place to gather for family movie night.

If you like a little family competition, try out the pool table. The game table in the sun room is the perfect place to disconnect from technology and spend the evening playing games.

The bedrooms on the main level are great for mom, dad and a couple of kids. The queen bedroom is connected to the two twins bedroom via a sliding glass door. The bathroom for the main level has a shower tub combo and is accessed through the queen bedroom.

Upstairs are the third and fourth bedrooms each with a king bed and an ensuite bathroom with shower tub combo. Plenty of room for everyone to get a good night’s sleep for tomorrow’s adventure.

Wake up in the morning with a cup of coffee on the deck. No need to hurry. Take your time, listen to the birds. Spend the day watching for wildlife, feeling the sun on your face, breathing in the smell of the pine trees. Gaze at the stars with no streetlights to wash out their beauty.

About the Ranch
The land on which Crocker Ranch sits was originally settled by R.E. Stuyvesant in 1872. The land was subsequently purchased by the ranch’s namesake, Frank Crocker who made this his summer home until his death in 1932.

Situated in the valley below Mount Olympus and Park Hill, the Coach House was the last stagecoach stop on the toll road built by Alexander MacGregor into the Estes Valley. Traces of this road are still visible on the ranch today. A beautiful stop along a bumpy dirt road, a difficult ride without the luxury of modern transportation.
Each guest becomes a part of the story of Crocker Ranch. From the travelers who made this their last stagecoach stop on a long arduous ride to Estes Park, to the cowboys who have herded cattle on these pastures, to those of you who choose to make your family memories in this home. SkyRun Vacation rentals and the family who owns this ranch, welcome you to experience the Colorado we love, wide open, authentic and unforgettable.

As with any amazing experience, you want the something to remember it by. The best remembrance is not something that will be tucked away in a box but something you can enjoy with your family at a summer picnic or a family dinner. Crocker Ranch Beef is just that type of remembrance. Crocker Ranch Beef can be purchased by ordering it from the man who tends the cattle. We are not able to include a web address or phone number in this listing but a little research for Crocker Ranch Estes Park will get you the information you need.

Come, relax and enjoy Crocker Ranch.

New Year's Getaway

We enjoyed getting away for a few days and Coach House was a perfect for our family. We appreciated the large family room with fireplace where we gathered to talk, play games, and watch movies.

Estes Park Perfection

We loved our stay at Crocker Ranch. The house was spacious with plenty of room to spread out and relax. Only complaint was that it got very hot, and we would’ve loved More fans to help us cool down. overall, the house was in a great location, and we were pleased.

Crocker Ranch was Amazing!

The Ranch was amazing and to be a part of history on the stagecoach line will not be soon forgotten. I was a little disappointed with the care of the house: The kitchen was lacking serving bowls and storage containers, but the basics were available, many light bulbs were burned out, screens were broken on doors and unusable and the over all cleanliness was lacking a bit, however, none of these things overshadowed the peace and tranquility of our stay. We would definitely stay here again!

Incredible location

If you want privacy, lots of room, a historic location, and easy access to town and outdoor activities, this is the rental for you! Beautiful 4 BR, 3 full baths, large kitchen and dining area, large LR with fire place, sunroom, and all the outside space you can imagine on a working ranch. We saw elk, moose, turkeys, and chipmunks all right outside our property. The resident 4 horses were all very friendly and greeted us daily on our walks. Other than our family, no one else was ever seen on the property. Estes Park is only a mile away, but you feel completely isolated in the wilderness. The property does allow pets, even though some of the rental language suggests otherwise. The only suggestions for improvements would be some upgrades to kitchen appliances/utensils (need a Keurig, steak knives, and more bowls). The smaller refrigeration unit in the kitchen is actually a freezer, not a combination unit. We found out the hard way when some drinks froze inside the unit. Please clearly label this as a freezer only. We loved our stay and look forward to returning again soon!

Property was exactly as advertised. Property management was very helpful. Property was in an excellent location. Most of us were seniors, grab bars and nonskid in the tub showers would have been good
