  • What an experience! We had an out-of-state high school reunion at the Elk River Guest Ranch and it was wonderful. The cabins are clean, comfortable, well-appointed and quiet. The scenery is beautiful. There are plenty of hikes right from the property....and many more a short distance away. Horseback riding, fishing, trail riding are all close by. Most importantly, Debbie, Berry, Marty and Jenny are the great hosts. I highly recommend the Elk River Guest Ranch. I plan to return for future stays!
  • Rented a cabin here via Airbnb to race in SBT GRVL down in Steamboat. The cabin was beautiful and clean and very comfortable. The commute was a little further to Steamboat than I anticipated, but that's on me. The corner market in Clark was super cute and accommodated me by making a vegan breakfast burrito 🌯 One thing I will say though, word of caution to anyone booking this. The Airbnb listing was that this cabin was dog friendly, but when we arrived, in the printed rules in our cabin, it stated that: "dogs must be on leash at all times and cannot be left unattended in the cabin, if either of these rules are violated you may be asked to leave without a refund" The whole point of booking a dog friendly cabin was so that I knew my pup would be in a safe location while I was racing, and also the cabin is on a giant fenced in piece of land and my desperately wanted to run and play which was kind of my plan when taking her to Colorado. I triple checked the Airbnb listing and did not see this rule anywhere in the post, had I known upfront I would have never booked this Airbnb. Dog owners beware, I'd say this group of cabins is *semi*-dog friendly at best. But if you're counting on letting your dog run and play or leaving your dog in a safe place while heading into town, forgot about it.
