Your group's Experience: Our All Inclusive Ranch Vacation
The Ranch
You will be visiting a 4,000 acre working cattle ranch just outside of Westcliffe, Colorado. We have some of the darkest skies in the US (which means you will see an incredible amount of stars) and house traqulity here.
We have strong core values- true to our cowboy selves. Helping others, working hard, showing respect to people and animals alike, and always learning are just some of the values we believe in.
We only have one lodging facility on the WHOLE RANCH! What this means for your group is complete exclusivity to our facilities and full attention from our coaches.
The Horses
We pride ourselves in having some of the most well trained horses you can find on a guest ranch. For your enjoyment and your safety, we spend countless hours training our horses as well as coaching each guest to ride them with true horsemanship for everyone's benefit.
Not only do we care about how well behaved our animals are, we care deeply about their experience living here at Music Meadows Ranch. They get to graze and just be horses in the open meadows when they aren't working. This allows them to practice their innate social structure with Herd Dynamics.
You will learn all about Herd Dynamics on your very first day so you can understand how important it is to practice being a good leader for your horse. Don't worry if you show up knowing nothing, we are well equipped to help beginners and seasoned horseman alike.
The Ranch House
Originally a homestead in the late 1800s, rooms have been added on and it is now a cozy 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom Ranch House. There are beds for 8 people with a full kitchen and cozy fireplace in the living room to spend quality time around.
Although we encourage you to take some time away from the real world, we do have wifi for your use.
There is a wonderfully big yard with a fire pit, hammock, horseshoes, our new rustic hot tub, and the creek running through it.
Check out more details for the Ranch House here.

The Most Private Guest Ranch Experience Out There
A Real Experience on True Working Ranch
Our passions are ranching, horses, and people. We are also a smaller operation than most guest ranches. This allows us to offer the personal attention to each guest and expertise that makes the difference.
We will dig deep with you and take you into the depths of True Horsemanship and Real Ranching 101. This is a rare opportunity to work alongside real ranchers to learn how we are keeping our heritage alive and evolving.
When you learn to master your horse, the magic only continues. Expect to learn honest and fair horsemanship and to build a truly unique bond with your horse that is indescribable. You'll be yearning to continue growing that bond for years to come.
Because we only host one exclusive group at a time, we can focus soley on making sure you have the most authentic and exciting experience possible. We truly treasure the relationships we build with our guests and love to watch your confidence explode out here on the ranch.
See what it's all about!

All of the Memories, None of the Stress. Our All Inclusive Ranch Vacations Have You Covered
Our 6 night, 5 day itineraries include about 6 hours a day with your guides. This will be spent learning horsemanship, checking on our Sangre Best Beef Cattle, enjoying a homemade picnic lunch each day, exploring the ranch and much more. This leaves you with several hours a day to relax in the hammock, fire up the Hot Tub, take a nap or shower after your exciting day on the ranch, or really just to do whatever you want to do. We have learned that it is necessary and FUN not to have every minute of your vacation planned out for you - just enough to keep you hungry for more.
As far as food goes, once you book you will receive a series of emails from us. These emails include a full ranch menu where you will be able to pick (as a group) what you want to eat each day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (and of course dessert!!) This allows us to plan ahead for your meals but also allows for you to arrive fully prepared for your stay, no decisions needed! Just make yourselves at home and enjoy :)
Even though we have a general itinerary, our guides will make specific goals with each person in your group and get the feel for your group collectively. This will help us tailor the experience to what you and your loved ones would enjoy the most.

Sharing Our Heritage with You!
Our Music Meadows Magic
Located in the heart of Colorful Colorado at an elevation of 8,000 feet, Music Meadows Ranch is an authentic working cattle ranch.
We are geared for sharing our lifestyle and educating our guests, every season, with only one small group or family at a time (four-eight people).
In addition to warm western hospitality and homemade meals, you will receive a highly curated experience learning about and enjoying various aspects of horsemanship and the ranching life first-hand.
Except for activities related to ranch operations, you and your small group will have the entire place yourselves staying in the three-bedroom/two-bath ranch house, the only dwelling on the whole ranch!
