Hard to Leave
From the moment I pulled in from the dirt road to Elk Springs Ranch I knew I made the right choice for our mult-generational family vacation. Opening the front door was like being on an HGTV reveal. Everything was perfect. No disappointment from the online description. I dreamed a long time of bringing everyone together. While you could say the location is nowhere, it is everywhere. The southwest Colorado scenery is so magnificent that the drives we took to Canon City for the Royal Gorge Train Route and white water rafting, Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods go by in a flash. And . . . don:t ignore the Florissant Dinosaur Monument area. So close and so much to learn about earth's development. The true highlight of the property are the sheep, horses and Troy. Yes, Troy! He made the stay so special for our six and four year old grandchildren. Every morning they ran down to with his calm and friendly demeanor feed "girls" and 'boys" sheep, and ''Jude" the patriarchy sheep of the flock. Then it was on to do likewise for their horses Tobias and Lucy. If you have going children, do yourself a favor - just go. There will be unforgettable memories awaiting. Finally, don't forget to ask Troy about "The Balcony" overlook. You will not find a better view in Colorado. No tourists here. Only a hidden gem like Troy will know about. I can't say enough about Deb:s and Troy's welcoming hospitality.The even had farm fresh eggs delivered to us from the farm across the road.

“A Wonderful Family Getaway”
“Our stay at Elks Ranch was absolutely wonderful! Everything mentioned in the listing was spot on, and the house was immaculate and well-maintained. The view of the mountains was absolutely spectacular and added to the serene atmosphere of the ranch. My grandkids especially loved feeding the sheep and horses, which made the experience even more memorable. Deb and Troy were excellent hosts, making us feel welcome and comfortable throughout our stay.
We had an incredible Thanksgiving at their beautiful ranch, and everyone in our family was thrilled to create such special memories there. Thank you, Deb and Troy, for sharing your amazing property with us – we truly hope to return someday!”

Perfect family retreat
Elk Springs Ranch was everything as advertised. Well appointed, clean, and comfortable for a family retreat spanning three generations. So many outdoor activities on property and nearby. We enjoyed hikes, time with ranch animals, trips to nearby pikes peak, water activities, evening campfires, and more. Troy and Deb add a personal touch second to none. Great family memories created here.

Elk Springs Ranch
Gorgeous home and spacious property. Quiet, private, and just the right distance from major attractions. Relaxing and beautiful view of Pikes Peak and other mountains nearby. Deb and Troy are very gracious hosts and made the stay even more enjoyable. Troy was very patient and engaging with our rambunctious and highly active 6-year-old son. He let our son help feed and pet the sheep and horses. Troy spent time with our son and showed him how to play frisbee golf and played a round with us. Incredibly beautiful home and lots of modern touches. House was stocked with lots of toys, books, and activities for all ages. Our teenagers enjoyed exploring the house and property. Deb & Troy provided directions to a “secret” hike location that was not challenging for our family and provided a beautiful overlook at the top. They also provided lots of conveniences throughout the stay. One of our favorite vacations and we did not want to leave. If we ever go back to the area, this is definitely a property we would consider.

Great place to getaway and enjoy each other!
Elk Springs Ranch was the perfect vacation home for our family. The house was beautiful and fit all 10 of us very comfortably. Deb and Troy were very friendly and had the house well stocked when we arrived. It was by far the most well stocked house we’ve stayed at. The younger kids loved helping Troy feed the animals and the older kids and adults enjoyed playing many rounds of frisbee golf. The house is located close to many different activities and was the perfect place to come back to and relax while enjoying the beautiful scenery. We hope to return again some day soon!

Convenient & Beautiful Location
Deb and Troy were excellent hosts at this lovely vacation home. We were greeted with a welcoming environment and many amenities. It was still the colder season in Colorado, so we had fire wood available for the indoor fireplace. This was great to watch while the snow came down in the mountain area. The views of Pike's Peak from this home are breathtaking as you sit by the fireplace or when sitting to eat with the whole family. Our toddler had a great time watching Troy feed the sheep and horses on the property. Troy was available to provide recommendations of nearby hiking spots and showed us the "Balcony." The house was conveniently located ~30-40 minutes from most attractions. We visited the Royal Gorge, Eleven Mile Canyon, Woodland Park, Florissant Fossil Bed area, Pike's Peak, Garden of the Gods, and Red Rock. We didn't get the chance to visit the nearby Wolf and Wildlife Reservoir. The home had ample supplies and was one of the best stocked VRBOs we have had the pleasure of staying at. There is plenty of room for the whole family to spread out throughout the house. Would definitely book this property again next time we are near Colorado Springs.

Wonderful Colorado getaway
Elks Springs Ranch was a wonderful place to spend Thanksgiving with our family! The views are amazing, the house is beautiful with a well stocked kitchen. We all enjoyed helping Troy feed the sheep and the horses. The house is 30-60 minutes from all COS attractions, which made it easy to schedule adventures during the day and then have a lovely, relaxing place to come home to. Deb and Troy were terrific hosts and very responsive to any questions. Make sure to ask Troy for a map to his favorite hiking spot … amazing 360 degree views!! We hope to go back someday.

Amazing experience and a beautiful home!
Our stay was fabulous in every way! If you are looking for a beautiful cabin near Pikes Peak, this is the perfect place. We spent a lot of time researching cabins in the area and we found the best home! Debra and Troy were the perfect hosts. The cabin is decorated so lovely and has everything you could possibly need and more! There were goodies left for us upon arrival and a fully stocked coffee and tea station. All of the beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space for a large family. The views from the deck are spectacular! The animals on the ranch just add to the experience and we really enjoyed watching Troy feed them.
The secret lookout is worth staying here alone! We picked a location close to Pikes Peak because we booked a ride on the Cog Railway to the top of the mountain. It is an incredible site to see. But I think the view from Troy’s special spot is better than the view from Pikes Peak. You are able to see all of the mountains, including Pikes peak with the added bonus of seeing the Eleven Mile Canyon. The view is breathtaking! If you don’t mind a little hike and would like to see the best views in this area, you could not pick a better place! Thank you Troy and Debra for helping us create a memorable experience with our family!
