Gondola Village at Holy Cross

Gondola Village at Holy Cross (fka Holy Cross Refugio), is a little sanctuary in the mountains between Vail, Leadville, and Aspen. There is little nearby except for the next door Holy Cross Wilderness, with a lifetime worth of trails, lakes, and peaks to explore -- all only two hours from Denver. Gondola Village at Holy Cross has direct access that many dream of to Colorado's water wilderness, and some of the best backcountry skiing, hiking, scrambling, backpacking, and fly fishing in the Summit Vail Eagle Aspen area. 

Our modern alpine cabins are some of the cutest cabins you'll step foot in, complete with a mix of amenities to make your wilderness stay a bit more comfortable.

Gondola Village at Holy Cross is at 11.5k feet above sea level (believed to be the highest altitude Hipcamp in the world). Gondola Village at Holy Cross has been featured on Discovery Channel’s Reclaimed, Airbnb's OMG! Fund, Arch Digest, and the site of many product shoots. The managers of this property have worked in yurt, ADU, and cabin construction and hospitality for many years and have brought together some of the best Scandinavian and modern design with a mining town aesthetic.

The trip up can be challenging (only off-road, winch / locker equipped vehicles dare try the 759 Holy Cross City jeep road, others will need to hike in at least 2.5 miles), but the views and cabins are well worth the trek. Snow free season tends to be June 15 an October 30 annually, and outside of this guests should be prepared for up to 11 miles of over-snow travel with no cars allowed (a bit less depending on snow coverage in the shoulder seasons from May 21 - early June and late October - November 20)

Can you beat this? A fire, great company and mountain vistas!

Ute Lodge - At the End of the Road

The Ute Lodge was homesteaded in the 1930’s by Joe Fox who after leaving the military came west to settle in the White River valley. 
Joe was known for his friendliness, hospitality and wild stories. 
Today you might find much of the same. From Joe’s day to today it is a place where families come together to get away.

The Ute Lodge is now owned by Karl and Mona Maser who celebrated 20 years of ownership summer of 2019!

All summer our cabins are filled with guests from all over the US as well as international travelers. One of our favorite things about the summer is our weekly potlucks where we all share an outdoor meal. All of our visitors have a standing invitation to join us around the community campfire at night.

From our beautiful private lake (where you can paddle-board, kayak and fish), to immediate access to the Papoose and Crooks Park Trails on National Forest land, as well as the vast variety of wildlife that roams around, you can find what you need here to unplug and get away from it all.

Trail and Hitch Tiny Home Hotel

Trail and Hitch Tiny Home Hotel and RV Park is on 20 acres with the 8 tiny homes on the back of the property. The land is across the White River, 2 miles from downtown Meeker, a bike ride away from mountain biking trails and  ON 250 miles of OHV trails. The 8 tiny homes are spread out in a circle surrounding 2 large firepits and a covered deck with a long farmhouse table. The tiny homes can be booked individually or as a group of 4 or 8.  

The ladder to the loft, one of two beds that sleep two. This house could comfortably sleep five people. 

The living room, which was full of natural light. 

Each tiny home has a different personality, designed for different groups. This would be the perfect getaway for lovers or friends, comfortably sleeping three people.

Remote Mountain Retreats

At Collbran Vacation Rentals, we believe your stay should be part of your experience.  That's why our vacation rentals are unique yet homey, convenient yet mostly off-grid, accessible yet still remote.  The Silo is a guest room built in a grain bin beside our house, the Stagecoach Cabin is an old western cabin at the southern corner of our property, and Mossy Oaks Camp is a walk-in outfitter's tent tucked in the oak brush on the backside of our property.  None of the properties have "modern conveniences," but they do have kitchen and outdoor bathroom facilities, heat, solar power (electricity at the Silo), and plenty of fresh water in jugs.

Our 42 acre property is about 7 miles south of Collbran, Colorado up a steep gravel road at the foot of Grand Mesa. The remote property, covered mostly by buck brush and oak brush, is quiet and has stunning views of the Plateau Valley.  You might enjoy hiking the property, petting our animals (dogs, cats, and horses), or viewing the wild animals (elk, deer, and buffalo) at the game ranch below.   Our vacation rentals are scattered throughout the property, so you'll have plenty of space during your stay.  

The Plateau Valley area has many recreational opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts.  The Grand Mesa, which is 15 minutes away on a bumpy gravel road, offers a variety of recreation activities including four-wheeling and snowmobiling, hunting, fishing, and hiking. Powderhorn Ski Resort, 45 minutes away, boasts great skiing or mountain biking, and Vega State Park, also 45 minutes away,  features snowmobiling, fishing, waterskiing, and boating. The town of Collbran is a quaint little town with several parks, a rodeo grounds, and one bar/restaurant, gas station, and grocery store. Please note, Collbran shuts down by 8 pm; if you arrive late, be sure to bring necessary supplies and food.

We live on the property, but we work full time. If you need help, we can come over, but we won't disturb you during your stay. You can reach us by phone, text, or email at any time.  During the summer, you can access all of the properties in a 2-wheel drive car, but the roads can get bumpy or muddy quickly (check out the road video by scanning the QR code in the photos). We recommend driving a vehicle with 4-wheel drive in late fall to early spring as the weather can be unpredictable. If you aren't sure, please ask us about the current conditions of the road.

Riverside Rest for RVs

The original homestead cabin from 1903 is still here! This became our home when my husband retired because it is his dream. Our Highland cattle have personality plus!!
 The river wrapping around the ranch at the foot of the mountain washes away the stress and leaves a peace here that fills the spirit with calm. We love the land, the bald eagles, the wildlife, our guests and each other! 

Learn more about this land:

 Sleep in your RV with the sound of the river lulling you to recharge and just breath in the peace. We have a great boat ramp with a put-in and a place to kayak, tube, raft or fish! Great hiking trails nearby and a quiet country road to bike that the big bike races use. Our Scottish Highland cows give kisses are happy to share your carrots, apples and watermelon! We only rent two spots to keep it peaceful here.

The fire pit is super nice! Would love to spend a night out here with a group of friends.  

Power! 30 amps at each of the 6 RV spots.

Views from the road coming in off of I-70. Incredible canyons and rock formations! 

This photo is to show the layout of the land. The host's home on the left (as well as the cow pasture unpictured), and 6 RV spaces on the right, and the river runs just behind that.  

This is the outdoor kitchen that's still a bit of a work in progress. It'll have a great sink and woodfired stove for making pizzas and the like.  

Plenty of tables and spots to hang out along the river.  

Pleased with my nice flat parking spot and power hookup at this RV spot along the river! 

RV spots are right along the river with the huge colorful canyon backdrop rising behind them. 

Views of the property- big blue skies & colorful canyons.  

Colorado River Camp Has It All!

One of the valleys last original stone homes dating back to 1845. We have been restoring the buildings made from the stone. The main house which is not yet finished has beautiful etched glass windows of the cattle drives.

James Hinds the homesteader and original owner of the ranch created the ware and hinds ditch which supplies our abundant Valley water. He was a prominent attorney and got our water rights given to us forever from President Harrison. 

It includes water that extends to the middle of the Colorado River and the one mile of our shoreline. Everyday that we live here we give thanks for his wisdom and foresight. The once huge ranch that used to extend across I -70 and to the far side of the Colorado River is now reduced to our beautiful 110 acres, but it is the most beautiful and historic part of his astounding empire.

Please contact us if you’re looking for single night reservations during the week - we will be more than willing to accommodate you if we have the room!

Strange Rock

The  unusual dirt  dwellings are a mystery.  A local  old timer said 75 ys. ago he rode by with his dad and  it was a chicken farm. The small  fresh water spring no doubt provided water for animals and travelers alike and maybe even serviced the stage coach that came from Meeker.. A visiting miner/ college grad said the rock formations are not found elsewhere. Learn more about this land:We were told by a geologist it is a geologically unique area. Small spring comes down the mountain all year. Historic earthen  foundations on rear of property , we don't know the builders. Rear of property Backs up to BLM land, but it is very steep and there are  large  loose rock, climbing not advised here, if you walk a little further to the east the climb is safer. Many animals including a mountain lion are present.  The cleaning fee of $10.00 only applies if you bring a pet. Pet hair is hard to remove. 

Ac if you  need it , but at 6100 ft. its much cooler.

Instant on water heater, you wont run out of hot water.
