Colorado Guest Ranches: Rainbow Trout Ranch in Antonito, CO
In the 1920's, the doors were first opened as a guest ranch. This was after it had served many years as a private fishing camp. In the center of the ranch is the massive spruce-log lodge. The dining room has a majestic double-sided fireplace. Inside the lodge are also a library, trading post, and a recreation room. Three sides of the lodge have a porch with rocking chairs to enjoy the mountain view.
The rainbow Trout Ranch guest cabins sit surrounded by aspen and Ponderosa pines located near the lodge. The cabins range from the cozy two-bedroom cabin to the larger three-bedroom cabins that have a living room and fireplace. Each cabin is decorated in a western theme with large porches with great views of the mountains and ranch. All the cabins have daily housekeeping.
