Collective Vail - a Retreat at 4 Eagle Ranch

Five Getaways from Denver in Under Four Hours

"Set on a 1,000-acre working ranch in the secluded hills of Wolcott, this May-through-October glamping retreat delivers rugged seclusion without sacrificing comfort. Safari-style tents come with king beds topped with Pendleton blankets, wood-burning stoves, electricity, and en suite bathrooms with rain showers and hot water, while private decks open onto vast vistas by day and open skies perfect for stargazing at night. Mornings start with farm-fresh breakfasts and evenings bring communal dinners, ranging from five-course tasting menus to DIY barbecues. Guided activities such as fly fishing, horseback rides, hikes, and morning yoga round out the experience, and although Vail and Beaver Creek are just a short drive away, you feel far removed from ski-town bustle and may be just as happy to stay put." - Katie Shapiro
