    We had a really fun week at the Tomcat Ranch and guest house. Mike (the owner) is a very cool guy and made sure we had everything we needed and also gave us a great tour of the entire ranch which is really beautiful. The house was comfortable and plenty spacious for our family of 4. We spent most of our time out on the ranch fishing (even our 18yr old daughter enjoyed) or exploring in and around Buena Vista which we all loved as well. Took lots of hikes and had some really good meals in town. There are 5 ponds on the ranch property, we caught (and released of course) several nice brookies. It was peaceful and quiet at the property - yet only about 15 minutes to town from the ranch. We will be back for another stay.

    We had a wonderful stay. Mike was an amazing host. He took us on a tour of his 300 acre ranch and told us the history of the property. He stopped by occasionally to make sure we didn't need anything. The house was great and we enjoyed a bonfire and watching the shooting stars.

    Property was beautiful the views were outstanding. Fishing pond was great fun (caught lots of trout). Host was always available when needed and very helpful. The home itself is dated but we weren't in Colorado to stay inside a house we were there to fish and enjoy the outdoors. This place was perfect for our needs! We plan on going back next year.

    The guest house was great and the ranch was teriffic. Mike is a wonderful host. He gave me a tour immediately after I arrived and invited me to drive anywhere on the property I wanted to go. I got to see elk during the tour and saw the fishing ponds that were available. The only down side to my visit was that i had a bout with altitude sickness and didn't get to do any fishing, not the fault of the ranch. We enjoyed several evenings with a fire in the fire pit. It was great, Mike even called me after I got home to see how I was doing. Thanks again Mike.

    Following the clear and concise directions, we made it to the property just after dark. Upon arrival, the friendly property manager met us to go over the amenities and answer any questions. The guest house is cute, cozy and even has a wood burning fireplace. The home has floor to vaulted ceiling windows with a beautiful view of the Collegiate Peaks where I love watching the sunrise while having my coffee. My husband and teenage boys spent their time fishing in the nearby pond and caught at least 25 fish, so it was time well spent for them. My daughter and I enjoyed walking around the vast wooded acreage and even found a treehouse! We also loved the peddle boat and the learning to row in the pond. Our evenings were spent playing board games and one night we did built a fire. The home has strong wifi and full satellite/streaming TVs but we chose this time to unplug as a family. The owner was available as needed, however; we were free to explore and enjoy this amazing location. The views are unbeatable and our time together memorable. We will most certainly be back!

    The location was so beautiful every morning we had a great sunrise and at night a great sunset. The colors (reds, orange and yellow) across the tree lines were outstanding. The ponds were so close and the creek was so close you could hear the water running. The large acreage made it fun for running and playing with our dog., Tucker. The house is very comfortable and is very relaxing. I could see myself working remotely from this location, great time here, and we had great weather. Mike (owner) was so pleasant and he ensured that we were taken care of during our 5 day stay. We had an awesome outside fire (great firepit) where we made our smores. In the evening inside the house we had a great fireplace that put so much atmosphere of comfort in the house. I recommend this site to anyone who is looking for quite, beautiful landscape, comfortable house and great way to unwind and destress. Thank Mike we will see you next year.
