Today, the area attracts fishermen and hunters, due to our abundance of wildlife and incredible pristine location.  However, during main summer, "families" are the primary guests; and during the slower, quieter season, couples have discovered the Ranch as a relaxing, romantic  and remote get-away.

Unlike a "dude ranch", Lost Trail Ranch has operated as guest cabin rentals, where guests come to enjoy their own interests at their own leisure.  It's like a home-away-from-home for the many guests who return year after year to "their" special cabin.  It's a place where families feel safe and comfortable in a serene mountain setting; where folks come to make the most of the many sports and activities available... or do nothing at all and love it! (Not too many places left you can still feel right kicking back on your porch with a good book, a drop dead view, and no reason to go anywhere.)

The seven guest cabins are spaced with plenty of room between them, providing guests with lots of privacy, and a feeling of open space in a breathtaking, relaxed environment.  This also allows a new owner plenty of room to expand current operations if desired.

Seven Individual and Unique Cabins

Cabin #1 - "Rio  Vista Cabin"  A lovely and bright two bedroom cabin, completely renovated in 1999 and redecorated in 2004; with full kitchen, full bath, large open living/dining area, tile floors, attractive wood trim, lots of light and huge southern windows, a comfortable deck off the south side, and views of the Rio Grande Reservoir and the surrounding mountains that go on and on.   Cabin #2 - "Aspen Grove Cabin"  A smaller, more rustic one bedroom cabin; the original cabin built on the guest ranch with additions in later years, and redecorated in 2003; small but fully functional and tidy kitchen, bath and living area.  The perfect porch for enjoying morning coffee, and good views of Pole Mountain from the front entrance porch.   Cabin #3 - "The Headquarters"  Just completing the finishing touches on a complete remodel, this is the finest work we have done to date, with extra touches and country craftsmanship pride throughout this two story cabin.  Two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, big bright open kitchen and living and dining room, separate office room, hallway library, wrap around porch with magnificent views in all directions.  Fabulous and charming touches every where you look, and that's just the inside of the cabin!   Cabin #4 - "Heart of the Ranch Cabin"  A small one room cabin with cozy front porch, built in the 30's with full round logs harvested from these mountains, the cabin has not yet been expanded, but faces towards the Rio Grande reservoir and has great potential if a larger space is needed.   Cabin #5 - "Cliff Dweller Cabin"  The largest of our rental cabins, renovated first in 1983, and again in 2003, this two bedroom cabin has a nice big living/dining room with full kitchen, and full bath, tile floors throughout most of the cabin.  This cabin is tucked into the trees and off the main drive of the ranch, providing exceptional privacy.  This is also one of the winterized cabins, and tends to attract a good crew each winter!   Cabin #6 - "Little Dude Cabin"  A sweet little one room cabin, one of the original structures, slightly renovated with big sunny southern windows but kept quite rustic, as the only indoor plumbing is a cold water sink.  New roof (as with most structures on the ranch) was installed in 1998.   Cabin #7 - "Spruce Hollow Cabin"  The finest craftsmanship is in this two bedroom cabin, with Aspen paneling on walls and ceiling, and several special touches, like the Aspen stain glass window and stone counter of the full bath.  Full kitchen opens into the comfortable living/dining area, all with lovely tile floor.  Charming and private, tucked into the trees but still close to the gated entrance.
