Rawah Guest Ranch

We stayed at Rawah Ranch in early September and had the most memorable experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff went out of their way to be kind, welcoming, and helpful — it truly felt like being part of a family.|One of our favorite parts of each day was gathering for shared meals with the other guests. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all delicious, and the conversations and laughter around the table were something we looked forward to every time. The sense of community here is very special.|The riding program was outstanding. The horses were beautiful, well cared for, and matched perfectly to each rider’s ability. Every ride offered something different, from meadows to mountains, making it both fun and rewarding.|Fishing was another highlight. I had the chance to work with my own guide on the stretch of the Laramie River that flows right through the property — a truly incredible experience. Later in the week we took a trip to a nearby alpine lake where we caught plenty of big, healthy cutthroat trout. It was unforgettable.|We also enjoyed a great afternoon of skeet shooting, archery, and axe throwing — just one example of the variety of activities available beyond riding and fishing.|All in all, Rawah Ranch is a wonderful mix of adventure, relaxation, and genuine hospitality. Between the staff, the activities, the food, and the amazing guests we met, it was an absolutely perfect stay. We can’t wait to return.

Rawah Ranch was one of the best experiences we’ve had in our lives. The staff is exceptional, their service, food, activities are well thought out. Special shout out to Dirk, Talia, Hallee, Joe, Brody, Zack, Tim, Meg, and others (in case we missed a few names!!) we appreciate everything you guys did, YOU ARE ALL so helpful and kind. We’ll definitely be back and recommend this ranch to anyone who wants to experience luxury, comfort, adventure and nature.

We had a great time at Rawah Ranch! Meg and Tim, the managers, made our stay unforgettable! They made us feel at home since the first day we arrive, we had some special meal requests which they took care straightaway. |The atmosphere at the ranch is fabulous, you get to know all the other guests and spend time together, like a big family! |The ranch has a charming western style and a beautiful lodge building. |Cabins are very well decorated and comfortable. |The ranch staff is fantastic, Annie from the kids club is great with kids! All the wranglers are very professional and took us out for great family rides.|There many activities to do every day , the kids had so much fun and didn’t want to leave!|We definitely want to go back!

Located in a gorgeous valley on the Laramie River the Rawah Guest Ranch offers the best of everything. The activities were all fun, safe and well managed. The staff was extraordinary--very skilled at what they do. They were always attentive to making your stay the very best. The food was wonderful, as was the evening activities of hay rides, square dancing, cook outs, music, and a final slide show of all our adventures. The scenery and setting were magnificent--the views and all the wild life. We had a great group of guests the week I was there which always adds to the fun!! I've been to a number of guest ranches--this was the very best!!!

This self proclaimed “city girl” had no idea what to expect when I booked this dude ranch. We ended up having the absolute best time at Rawah Ranch!!! It was so special, so magical. We had a blast fly fishing, shooting clay and horseback riding. The ranch, all the staff, everything was amazing. They really take care of you and make you feel like you are family. We cant wait to go back and hopefully bring some family members. Thank you Tim, Meg, Talia, Olivia, Annie, Zach, Brody, Ty, Hallee, Durke, Kylee, Joe and the Chef. PS the food was also amazing!

Best staff ever. Meals were deliciously prepared. Gorgeous scenery with frequent visits by wildlife. Fun activities like fly fishing, horse back riding, dancing, and more. Just all around a wonderful experience. My hubby and I celebrated our anniversary here and so happy that we did. Thank you Rawah Ranch for the beautiful memories that will last us a lifetime. ❤️

To say our experience at Rawah Ranch was perfect doesn’t even begin to capture how special this past week was for our family. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home—welcomed not just as guests, but truly as part of the Rawah family. Every single member of the staff played a part in making our stay unforgettable, and I hesitate to name names only because I don’t want to leave anyone out—each of you made a lasting impression on us.||Our three kids haven’t stopped talking about the wonderful people they met and the new friends they made, both among the staff and other guests. The warmth, kindness, and genuine care you showed to each of us—especially our children—meant the world to us as parents. Tim and Meg, you have created something truly magical at Rawah. The team you’ve brought together goes above and beyond in every way, and it shows in every detail.||We packed our days with horseback rides, fly fishing, trap shooting, cow penning, hiking, archery, line dancing, and so much more. Yet somehow, we never felt rushed. There was always time to relax, laugh, and just enjoy being together—whether it was sharing stories over a delicious meal (we’re still dreaming about that cowboy breakfast bacon!) or soaking in the beauty of the ranch.||We’ve been lucky enough to take some wonderful family vacations over the years, but all five of us agree: Rawah Ranch is in a league of its own. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for treating us—and especially our kids—with such warmth and generosity. You helped us create memories we’ll cherish forever.|We’re already counting down the days until we can come back next summer. Thank you again for everything—you’ve given our family a gift we’ll never forget.

What a beautiful setting! And the warm, courteous staff was wonderful . . . from the managers to the wranglers to the wait staff!! They were all so friendly and attentive! Mealtime was a highlight eating great food with the other guests and the staff. Horseback riding, fishing, archery, target shooting, and hiking in a beautiful, wild setting with a courteous staff . . . it simply couldn't have been better!! We loved it!

We had an amazing experience @ Rawah Ranch last year. From the idyllic setting, wonderful rooms/cabins, to the food, staff, and stellar fishing. RR is a family run ranch and they make you feel right at home.

Rawah Ranch knows how to make it all about you! Relaxing and unwinding is key to recharging your batteries. This place is a piece of Colorado Cool. Family ran with a little something for everyone be it Orvis endorsed fly fishing with exclusive private waters and instructors or world class Horseback riding with the one of a kind breathtaking trails only Colorado has and a new one in each direction for a new ride each day. Hiking trails are on property and just plain hanging out is a must. The food is inclusive and exceptional as both the head wrangler and the chef make a personal visit to each and everyone to find your personal wants and needs for the next day followed by the chef to let you know he has an afternoon cooking class. Individual Cabins make it personable. What a place! When you leave, you will measure your other vacations against your stay here. Just go!

I cannot say enough about my experience at this ranch. The managers were gracious and friendly, as was the entire staff. The cabins and beds are very comfortable, food was first class prepared by an experienced and talented chef, horses were well-cared-for and the fly fishing guide was amazing. This was a first class vacation, if only for three days. Clearly the best three days this year!

Rawah Ranch is the BEST. It's easy to get to from Denver Airport (or Laramie), the drive is spectacular, and the ranch itself, feels like home - without having to cook or clean - YAY. I just did a last minute trip and they couldn't have been kinder. We got in 3 days of fishing, I learned to trot on my horse. We had moose outside our cabin and the food and staff were lovely. I don't want to recommend too highly, because I like that it is my best kept secret. Meg and Tim run the joint and they have put together a great experience for us city slickers. I will be back for the 5th time, very soon.

Everything about Rawah Ranch is sheer MAGIC....cabins, staff, food, grounds, activities! There is nothing negative to say about our experience there...highly recommend. What a special place to make memories!

We had an absolutely wonderful vacation at Rawah Ranch. It is a truly a special place. The setting was more beautiful than we even expected and we could not stop taking amazing photos of the mountains, valley and Laramie River. We loved our cabin which was tastefully decorated in the appropriate ranch style with plenty of storage space and a spacious separate room for the kids. The food was amazing! Chef Ford blew us away at each meal and we were truly spoiled & stuffed. The ranch activities were a blast! We had wonderful personal attention and they were open to customizing our activities to what we were looking for daily. We rode horses daily and felt our assigned horses were perfectly matched to each of us. Our riding improved so much and the wranglers were all amazing with their knowledge and instruction. They had a fun evening activity arranged for us too. Aside from the amazing setting, the delicious food, the fun activities, the well-cared for horses, the comfortable & charming accomodation, the most impressive thing about Rawah was the awesome staff/people who run it. We have never experienced such fun, attentive, inclusive, considerate people on vacation and we had such a wonderful time because of all of them. We cannot wait to come back!

Best ranch ever!!!!!!! Cabins, staff and food were all wonderful . . Horseback riding ,wrangler and equipment were all first class. Management made us welcome and the little things the do for you makes this the top ranch on my list. .. Cannot wait to go back!!!!!!

Expect much more than a dude ranch vacation at Rawah ranch. Expect first class service, food and accommodations! Whether you are a couple looking for romance, a family needing time together or a group of friends, you will not be disappointed. Did I mention the food? Never have I had salmon like Chef Ford prepares! Leave your cell phone behind, unless you want to use the camera function. You won't even miss it as your day ends on a comfortable bed, with soft linens and a pillow which includes your choice or bamboo, buckwheat and more. The views from your trail ride will leave you breathless and the memories will last a lifetimes. Unwind, unplug and and unbelievable !!
