Golden, Colorado
A wonderful place for a family get together. Beautiful views. Lots of fun things to do.
This house was amazing! The views can't even be described how gorgeous they were from every window. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. We were looking for a relaxing vacation and that's just what we got! The house was super comfy and the manager was always a text away if we needed anything or had any questions. With all the added high technology we had an experience of a lifetime with our family! Golden is a great location for grabbing no dinner, hiking and local shopping. We will definitely be back!
My husband and I and our 3 teenage children had a great first visit to Colorado. Staying at LoVE Ranch made it unforgettable, the views from the house and the amenities of the house were unbeatable. We enjoyed coffee in the mornings on the deck, watching movies in the theater room, and visits to RMNP, Golden and Denver. Rex was very kind and checked on us throughout our stay. Highly recommend this property!
Fantastic lodge, which is very spacious and has lots of amenities. Wonderful views of other peaks and Denver. We had one small hiccup when we were checking in, but the property manager went above and beyond in getting it fixed immediately. I highly recommend this beautiful place and we will be staying there again.
The property is beautiful. Nicely decorated and many upgrades. Putting green, walking the property and hot tub were are enjoyed. Hiking trails nearby. Town of Golden a 20 min ride that s scenic. We saw Turkey, deer, and an elk on or near the property. Nights were cool and could hear an owl. Theatre room is amazing.
Fantastic home, spacious and plenty to do. Rex was great to work with and responsive. Kids loved the game room and the theater room. Adults loved the kitchen and the sauna! You get city views and the continental divide from the home, truly breathtaking. We hiked at White Ranch Park and Mt Galbraith park, spent time in Golden and Boulder and made great memories. Go here, you won’t regret it. (Make sure you have AWD/4x4 per the instructions, it just makes it easier)
The house was gorgeous and the view is amazing! You have to have a 4 wheel drive or AWD to get to the house but it’s worth the adventure.
I was looking for an isolated, high-end property in the mountains of Colorado not too far from the airport where I could stay with some of my friends for 10 days without feeling the need to leave, and that's exactly what I found at LoVE Mountain Ranch. My favorite part was the in-house movie theater since I havent' been able to go to a movie in over 20 years. A friends' daughter celebrated her 11th birthday at the house and we had a hard time keeping her out of the hot tub despite the cold and snow. And we all loved the steam shower in the master bathroom. Rex was very accommodating and even provided us with a DVD player in the theather so I could watch the movies I brought. He made sure the road was plowed for us and even shoveled all the decking for us, which is a lot of work because there is so much of it. People need to know the bedrooms occupy 3 levels and the master suite is on the 3rd level, where I stayed. Climbing the stairs was a bit difficult for someone turning 60 who was not used to the altitude and has health issues, but it was worth it. The bed was firmer than I'm used to, but I slept well and didn't have any pain nevertheless. And the view of the city was outstanding! My friend had a cold and suffered from the dry air, but Rex provided us with a mister which she kept in her room. It helped her breathe and stopped her dry nose. I highly recommend staying at LoVE Mountain Ranch any time of year.
The house was beautiful had plenty to do inside the house for a family of adults 19-88 years old. The view is stunning and no expense was spared for luxury of furnishings and appliances.
We booked the Love Ranch over Thanksgiving. I have to say, for not being at the property to check us in, the process was extremely smooth. The owner, Rex, was engaging when needed (the hot tub tripped the circuit breaker) and was available via text. The home was well amended. We cooked Thanksgiving dinner and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cookware. The hot tub, the game room and the sauna were used a lot. I would definitely recommend this home if you want a private secluded getaway with all the amenities on the premises. It was a great experience and the entire family enjoyed the Thanksgiving in Colorado.
We stayed here for my wedding weekend and used the property to get ready day of/have myself, new husband and out of town family stay at for the weekend. All of us were blown away by this place! From the views, to the toilets, showers, movie theater room, open space, decor- ugh, it was perfect! Literally wouldn’t change a thing. Rex was also awesome and communicated very well with us! My family already said they want to come back and book this place again. Definitely the best VRBO I’ve stayed at. :)
The property is beautiful, spacious, and everything we needed. The views are incredible, and we loved all of the different games and activities available on sight. The kitchen and main living room were perfect for our group considering we ate at home most nights. There are big common spaces, but also a lot of space for people to spread out. We loved our stay, and look forward to returning.
Beautiful house in a beautiful setting for our small multigenerational family reunion. Great kitchen and open spaces giving the choice of privacy or community for all of us. The views were gorgeous from the house and from the extensive decks, and the house was an accessible 20 minute drive to Golden. Rex, the manager was extremely attentive, available, and helpful. We loved our visit !
Beautiful!
We hosted a family getaway and the Love Mountain Ranch was a wonderful place! Plenty of rooms and comfortable beds. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of cups, platelets and silverware. It was a gorgeous drive to get out of the city and the views from the house and patios were amazing!!!! Wonderful host and beautiful house.
Pictures could never do it justice, a truly beautiful getaway with incredible rocky Mountain View’s. Everything you’ll ever need! A+
What a beautiful property on an incredible setting! We'll never forget our arrival at Love Mountain Ranch! The vistas from anywhere on the property are absolutely breathtaking! The home itself is a high end luxury stay that seems to have been recently renovated and updated to include any and all amenities you could imagine. Top of the line appliances. Heated floors. Steam showers. Even hi tech toilets/bidets in all the bathrooms! Directions and checkin as provided by the property manager, Rex, all went smoothly. What questions we had were answered promptly with a phone call. Our trip revolved around a concert at nearby Red Rocks. We left a car for the evening in nearby Golden and took an Uber back and forth to the park. Between a venue like Red Rocks and all the available hiking/biking/tubing, Love Mountain Ranch is the perfect place to stay. We can hardly wait to book again!!
This property had me at hello!!! It was just beautiful. The morning sunrise to the outstanding sunsets on top of the mountain overlooking Denver and Pikes Peak!!!! We especially loved waking up to the atrium, sipping coffee, and watching the deer grazing happily in their own environment. The house was top notch! If you are a chef, you will love the high end appliances and large dining room table for all of your guests. No detail was left out, even heated toilet seats!! There is an awesome playhouse for kids and even a long driveway (very long) for sledding down in the snow! We enjoyed making s'mores outdoors with the fire pit and spending time in the hot tub after a long day of hiking! The views and seclusion were some of the many things we really appreciated! There is an awesome game room to keep everyone entertained after an awesome home cooked meal in the professional kitchen. We will definitely be back to stay at this place. If you are someone with particular tastes, this house will not disappoint. This is everything a luxury mountain home should be! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
