The Wildhorse Lodge offers privacy yet only footsteps from the North Fork of the South Platte River. The Klondike & Homestead cabins are log cabins with wood buring fireplaces & porches nestled among the aspens. Easy access to the swimming pool or simply watch the horses graze. The Stonehenge is a southwestern showpiece built in the 1940's great for family reunions or families traveling together.

Start your day with an easy commute to a cup of freshly ground coffee, enjoy a fun filled day of Colorado horseback riding (your own horse for the week & rides for all abilities), white water rafting, guided trophy fly fishing on our mile stretch of river, Orvis Endorsed lodge fly fishing clinic, pond fishing, swimming, champagne brunch, high country hiking, cookouts, trap & bow & arrow shooting. The fun doesn't stop when the sun goes down. Enjoy cowboy ballads around the campfire, mountain man tales, square dance, game night or enjoy the star lit sky from the hot tub.
