Elk Springs Ranch with grand mountain views with new frisbee disc golf course.

If only Vrbo had a 10/above and beyond rating to give-Elk Springs Ranch would meet that definition! To start with you won't find better host than Deb and Troy. Both were so pleasant and welcoming throughout the stay. Deb has done an amazing job designing this home and no detail is forgotten. Be sure to take Troys recommendation to visit Eleven Mile Canyon and see the Balcony, both were favorites of ours. The home itself is gorgeous and exceptionally clean. There are so many special touches - a welcoming card with host direct contact number, a bottle of wine, a bountiful variety of snacks, a fully stocked coffee/tea station to mention just a few. The kitchen was one of the best stocked properties we have ever stayed at. There is an amazing view of Pikes Peak off the main deck. The floor plan is perfect, and we loved we could take our dog out for walks right there on the property. Thank you Deb, Troy and Jackson for sharing your piece of paradise with us. You can count on seeing us again!!

09/20/25 - 09/27/25Elk Springs Ranch is absolutely perfect...from the thoughtfully stocked kitchen and baths, Deb and Troy's quick responses and help, immaculate housekeeping, easy check-in, extremely comfortable beds and linens, lovely decks to take in the breathtaking views, beautiful wood-burning fireplace that we used most evenings and most important...the ranch's fur-babies!Each morning, we would visit Lucy and Tobias (horses) to give them fresh apple slices. Each evening after spending the day sightseeing, Penny (cat) would come visit us just to make certain we got home safe. And, of course, Jasper (dog) would make us laugh every time we saw him. Watching a Golden Retriever puppy herd sheep was awesome. I wish I had it on video!!! Needless to say, us four old ladies from Pittsburgh would highly recommend Elk Springs Ranch!!Thank you, Deb and Troy, for sharing your beautiful piece of Earth with us!Susie, Lou, Sandy & ColWould absolutely stay againBreathtaking viewsComfortable beds and linensFully equipped kitchenQuiet and private setting

enjoyed the scenery and the cleanliness of the home. will return in the future

The place was setup great for a fun family weekend! Close proximity to Royal Gorge and Cripple Creek (check out the train ride in Cripple Creek; it was a huge hit for all ages!). The ranch also had lots of fun things to do and the animals on the ranch were fun for the kiddos. Great hosts and very welcoming towards our group!

The property is beautiful, and immaculate! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and loved the entire property. Troy and Deb are very friendly and happy to show you anything on the property. We loved the location. Although the property is somewhat remote, it is very easy to access.

Deb is an exceptional hostess, ensuring a delightful stay with no unexpected issues.The property was spotless, with reliable Wi-Fi throughout. The kitchen was fully equipped with utensils, plates, cookware, a crockpot, and more. Thoughtful touches included a bag of ice in the freezer and a bottle of wine on the kitchen island.The beds were cozy, and the bathrooms were pristine and well-supplied.Ample seating options, including couches and chairs, were available both indoors and outdoors.I especially loved the master bedroom deck, where I’d relax at night, gazing at the stunning, star-filled Colorado sky.I attached the magnificent view of Pike’s Peak from the common deck.

The home was beautiful and so were the views. Our group had an excellent trip and the kids loved the animals!

From the moment I pulled in from the dirt road to Elk Springs Ranch I knew I made the right choice for our mult-generational family vacation. Opening the front door was like being on an HGTV reveal. Everything was perfect. No disappointment from the online description. I dreamed a long time of bringing everyone together. While you could say the location is nowhere, it is everywhere. The southwest Colorado scenery is so magnificent that the drives we took to Canon City for the Royal Gorge Train Route and white water rafting, Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods go by in a flash. And . . . don:t ignore the Florissant Dinosaur Monument area. So close and so much to learn about earth's development. The true highlight of the property are the sheep, horses and Troy. Yes, Troy! He made the stay so special for our six and four year old grandchildren. Every morning they ran down to with his calm and friendly demeanor feed girls and 'boys sheep, and ''Jude the patriarchy sheep of the flock. Then it was on to do likewise for their horses Tobias and Lucy. If you have going children, do yourself a favor - just go. There will be unforgettable memories awaiting. Finally, don't forget to ask Troy about The Balcony overlook. You will not find a better view in Colorado. No tourists here. Only a hidden gem like Troy will know about. I can't say enough about Deb:s and Troy's welcoming hospitality.The even had farm fresh eggs delivered to us from the farm across the road.

I have nothing but good to say about this home!The owners are lovely people and very helpful when needed. The kitchen was amazingly well stocked with cookware etc. the entire home very comfortable. We went to go fishing and it is in a perfect location and easy to get to.Thank you!

Property was well described and we appreciated the communication.

“Our stay at Elks Ranch was absolutely wonderful! Everything mentioned in the listing was spot on, and the house was immaculate and well-maintained. The view of the mountains was absolutely spectacular and added to the serene atmosphere of the ranch. My grandkids especially loved feeding the sheep and horses, which made the experience even more memorable. Deb and Troy were excellent hosts, making us feel welcome and comfortable throughout our stay. We had an incredible Thanksgiving at their beautiful ranch, and everyone in our family was thrilled to create such special memories there. Thank you, Deb and Troy, for sharing your amazing property with us – we truly hope to return someday!”

Elk Springs Ranch was everything as advertised. Well appointed, clean, and comfortable for a family retreat spanning three generations. So many outdoor activities on property and nearby. We enjoyed hikes, time with ranch animals, trips to nearby pikes peak, water activities, evening campfires, and more. Troy and Deb add a personal touch second to none. Great family memories created here.

Gorgeous home and spacious property. Quiet, private, and just the right distance from major attractions. Relaxing and beautiful view of Pikes Peak and other mountains nearby. Deb and Troy are very gracious hosts and made the stay even more enjoyable. Troy was very patient and engaging with our rambunctious and highly active 6-year-old son. He let our son help feed and pet the sheep and horses. Troy spent time with our son and showed him how to play frisbee golf and played a round with us. Incredibly beautiful home and lots of modern touches. House was stocked with lots of toys, books, and activities for all ages. Our teenagers enjoyed exploring the house and property. Deb & Troy provided directions to a “secret” hike location that was not challenging for our family and provided a beautiful overlook at the top. They also provided lots of conveniences throughout the stay. One of our favorite vacations and we did not want to leave. If we ever go back to the area, this is definitely a property we would consider.

We had a great stay here and the home was as advertised. We played disc golf, hiked, and saw some of the local attractions while there. There is so much to do in the area!

Elk Springs Ranch was the perfect vacation home for our family. The house was beautiful and fit all 10 of us very comfortably. Deb and Troy were very friendly and had the house well stocked when we arrived. It was by far the most well stocked house we’ve stayed at. The younger kids loved helping Troy feed the animals and the older kids and adults enjoyed playing many rounds of frisbee golf. The house is located close to many different activities and was the perfect place to come back to and relax while enjoying the beautiful scenery. We hope to return again some day soon!

Home was very clean and welcoming host was very friendly and responsive to our needs would recommend the home to any family

Beautiful home! Had everything we needed. Jody very helpful!
