We just returned from two nights in cabin #2. The guest ranch is located in a beautiful valley and there are a few short hikes on the property. The staff was very helpful and were on site weekdays from 3:30-8:30pm (and mornings on the weekend). They even went out of their way to find the mile marker (81) for the unmarked "upper calf creek falls" trailhead - which is a wonderful, dog-friendly, two-mile round trip hike (the return is a bit strenuous).||||Cabin #2 was cozy and had views of the valley from the porch. Our first night was very peaceful and we watched the sunset from the porch. Our second night, however, was not as peaceful because members of a wedding group had arrived a few days early, occupied several accommodations and were eager to start celebrating late into the night on the upper porch of cabin #3 next to ours and on the road that runs in front of the cabins. Rather than getting dressed to go out and ask them to lower the volume, we opted to move into the back bedroom where it was quieter. However, there is an air conditioning unit on the outside of that bedroom wall that frequently cycles on/off, so we eventually moved back to the main bedroom once they were quiet sometime north of midnight. I don't know if we were just unlucky to be there on the wrong night or if late night noise is common when large groups stay in the big cabin. The late night made our drive home the next day less enjoyable and much more tiring than it should have been. ||||We prefer tranquility and try to avoid inconsiderate travelers, so we wouldn't take the chance of a similar experience even though our noisy night might have been rare event. So if we stay near Boulder again, we would either consider their off-site guest ranch home or look for another cabin without close neighbors. Don't let our experience keep you from considering this property, We would have given it another star if we had not had the noisy neighbors.
