History
Jo Witchey was drawn to the splendor of the Rocky Mountains and moved from Mansfield, Ohio, to Denver. In 1925, Jo moved to Chalk Creek Canyon, where 14,000-foot peaks framed the valley. On an ascent of the Mount Princeton (14,197') she met a wrangler and hunting guide named Mark Love, whom she later married. They bought a small ranch in Chalk Creek Canyon, started a cabin camp for summer vacationers, and named it Love Ranch.
After four years of marriage, Mark was killed in a horse accident. Although Jo was heartbroken over Mark's death, she stayed for over 40 years to run the ranch and entertain guests. One frequent guest and friend of Jo's was Alex Haley, the author of Roots, and President Dwight D. Eisenhower visited a cabin included in Bighorn Lodge complex.

    Our family of 7 had an absolutely wonderful stay. Everything about the house was a delight. We are already planning our return!

    We enjoyed our stay at the Bighorn Lodge. Beautiful location with access to all the outdoor activities we wanted to enjoy during our stay. I would definitely recommend your property to family and friends.Two items for feedback follow:1. The address posed difficulties for us as we passed the same address on other side of street first and w/o any cell or internet access; we went back to hot springs to borrow their internet to find the details from your emails. a specific headsup about address would have helped us find your property sooner.2. BBQ grill could certainly use an upgrade for the cost of your property.

    Overall a wonderful property. The only complaint is the chain kept falling off the upstairs toilet so it wouldn’t flush, we picked up dog poop that wasn’t from our dogs and most of the dishes / pans had to be washed before use. They were pretty gross.

    By far the BEST home we have booked in over 20 years of renting. We ALWAYS forget something- this home had everything imaginable in the kitchen including spices etc. So grateful for the level detail the owner/ mgmt company provided our short 3 days was perfect! I’m from Philly- we gathered around the TV (1 of 4 in the home) and our loudness couldn’t annoy anyone (except my hub- always one in the fam lol).

    We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. It has everything we needed and enough rooms for all the family. Beautiful location. Loved getting up to see the mountains being hit by the sun and looking at the stars at night.

    Love the location, views are beautiful. Convenient drive to the hot springs. Make sure you have you groceries if you don’t want to drive 20-30min to town. We all enjoyed our time here. Recommendations - remove snow and ice from the patio with grills on it. Post instructions so people will clean the grills when done. Improve accuracy of post.

    The property had everything we needed & worked great for our Labor Day weekend getaway. Close to trails for riding & a short drive to Buena Vista for activities & dinner.

    The pictures on line do not do this property justice. Its located in a perfect area nestled between two mountains with a gorgeous open field in the front. The cabin is much bigger than the pictures show, plenty of room for everyone and its beautiful in side. The shuffleboard was a hit with the entire family, nice touch. The property manager Brent, is available any time of the day and is so nice, We will be renting here again for sure.
