Lodging Description:
Our one, two and three bedroom cabin suites are cozy, comfortable, and immaculately serviced. There are 24 of them sprinkled across the hillsides backing the Ranch. You'll find a porch swing, plenty of oversized towels, a refrigerator, king, queen and twin beds with non-allergic pillows and an electric coffee maker help you to feel right at home. You will even have wood delivered daily for your fireplace.

Recreation Description:
Being a working ranch, one of our main recreational pasttimes is horseback riding, which we believe is one of the best ways to see the Rocky Mountains. There are more than 26,000 acres of the Pike National Forest here for you to explore. Rides go out every morning and afternoon and are geared to different skill levels from raw beginner to advanced. Lengths of rides vary from 2 hours to all day jaunts. Guests can ride as much as they want, and we don't often hear complaints about too little saddle time. We also have access to excellent fly fishing, hiking trails, trap shooting, a heated outdoor pool and 3 whirlpool hot tubs, 2 tennis courts, a basketball half court, sand volleyball court and horseshoe pit.

Food Description:
Each and every batch of our vittles is home cookin' from scratch. Healthy. Hearty. Delicious. Carefully prepared from well-loved Foster family recipes to tantalize your taste buds at every meal. Breakfast may include bacon, eggs, French toast, waffles, pancakes, at least one kind of fruit, cereals, yogurt and juice. For lunch and dinner, you can be sure our chef will delight you with amazing Italian dishes, baked chicken, smoked prime rib, teryaki salmon, our famous all-you-can-eat Triple Play BBQ buffet and all the sides and salads you can handle. Add home-baked bread and delicious desserts, and we promise you won't leave hungry.

Special Events

Conventions, Meetings & Retreats:
Group planners are discovering that Lost Valley Ranch is a great place to "round up" their company emloyees or family members for a unique and memorable retreat, meeting or reunion. We can offer the seclusion and informality needed to get the job done...and plenty of non-business activity to urge a new sense of camaraderie and fun among your attendees. There is nothing like a trail ride through the great outdoors, or a hiking excursion to lower defenses and forge new bonds within a team. The wide blue sky and fresh air seem to clear the city cobwebs in a hurry, not to mention how well-fed and cared for your group will be here in the valley.

• Activities: Most of our ranch activities, including riding and square dancing, are provided for groups if requested.
• Capacity: 70
• Minimum Nights: Two night minimum stays are required.
• Season: Spring and fall are delightful times for meetings.
