About the Ranch

The Experience

Nestled under the rimrock just outside Steamboat Springs, Colorado, Middle Creek Ranch invites visitors to an authentic Rocky Mountain experience. A family-owned, working ranch spanning 10,000 acres, Middle Creek beckons you to rest, play, and take in the extraordinary mountain air.

Enjoy unbelievable views while horseback riding, fly-fishing or cross-country skiing, or let our expert guides design a custom adventure for you. Guided ATV rides, sporting clays, a shooting and archery range, as well as the kid favorite paintball field are some of the activities you can choose from.

When you’re ready to relax, the hot tub on our sun deck is ready. Savor one-of-a-kind meals from a private chef, and say goodnight in cabins that are as rustic as the Colorado countryside.

The Accommodations

If it’s possible to be grand and cozy at the same time, our Main House does it. With classic log construction and a wraparound deck, the Main House boasts four bedrooms with king beds, each with its own en-suite bath with heated floors. Downstairs, kids love the four-bed children’s bunk room with its own bathroom, TV room and game table.

With a breezy front porch and stunning canyon views, our Columbine Cabin marries rustic and modern. With two peaceful bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bath with heated floors, a loft with two additional beds, a Western-styled sitting room with TV, and a mini kitchen perfect for your morning coffee, you’ll love cozying up here.

Just like it’s twin Columbine, our Cookhouse Cabin sleeps up to six with a breathtaking view of the valley, framed by a beautiful rimrock formation. Each of the two bedrooms comes with its own en-suite bath with heated floors, and there are two additional beds in the upstairs loft. Daily housekeeping services add to the comfort of your stay.

The Lodge is your hub for all ranch plans. Here you can enjoy the game room or kick back in our beautiful great room. You’ll also find a fully equipped exercise room, a full bath with shower, an outdoor fire pit and live entertainment area.

The History

While our story dates back to 1862 and Abraham Lincoln’s Homestead Act, our time as a family-owned guest ranch is more recent. Middle Creek Ranch has been under the ownership of the Hunter family since 1991. Their goal has been to instill healthy and sustainable land, wildlife and livestock management and ranching practices, while allowing family, friends, and guests to experience everything the ranch has to offer.


The Land

With over 50 miles of wilderness trails, the ranch offers endless opportunities to explore the property, whether on horseback, mountain bike, or foot.
