Other things to note
Please take a picture of the directions before you drive here because along the way you will loose cell service. We are about 22 - 30 minutes from the nearest food store so it would be a good idea to stop there before you get here.
If your dogs are not friendly, please let me know so I keep my dogs away. You will probably be greeted during your stay by very friendly Rough Collies.
This is a ranch in the middle of the wilderness, please do not put your garbage in our dumpster, it will attract wild animals. We put garbage in the dumpster only Monday mornings, when they pick up the trash. You can bring your garbage to the Main Cabin, Pearl Ranch, and I can store it in our garage.
At nightfall, the wild critters are roaming, please keep pets indoors.
Please note that the running water contains sulfur, which has a distinctive smell. The main lodge also has sulfur in the water and I use it to cook but not for drinking.
There is a very small local convenient store open in summer months at kebler corner if needed which is about 5 minutes down the road.
Please check out our website because it list all the popular landmarks, restaurants, festivals that are surrounding for you to access and visit. Pearl Ranch Colorado.
