Our Ranch Story
Music Meadows Guest Ranch was born of Elin Parker Ganshow’s passion for ranching and passion for people coming together through her entrepreneurial spirit. Elin grew up with two brothers and three sisters, learning ranching from her Dad and spending as much time horseback as possible. She learned to cook and be a gracious hostess from her Mom. Elin achieved a B.S. in Animal Science from Colorado State University and married into a ranching family and raised two sons and two daughters who also caught the passion for ranching.
One of Elin’s greatest joys is to see people learning about cattle, land and horses at this beautiful ranch and vesting time together as family and friends. But her vision can only be carried out by surrounding herself with an amazing team.

“Enjoyed an amazing week …”
“Enjoyed an amazing week at the Music Meadow Ranch in September. We purposefully looked for a different experience than the typical dude ranches and found exactly what we were hoping to experience. We loved the idea of being the only guests staying at the ranch and Elin’s staff did an amazing job of making us feel very welcome and teaching us how to saddle and manage our horses.”
