Wonderful and completely unique experience for the whole family - don't miss the opportunity!


We stayed at the ranch with our 5 grandchildren (ages 7 to 12). They loved the ranch! The owners and the ranch managers made it such a memorable experience from providing a hay ride behind an antique tractor to letting the kids pet the horses. The farm house is beautifully decorated with modern appliances and comfortable furnishings. We could have spent the whole week onsite but we also wanted to take the kids to Colorado Springs where we went for a horseback ride, took the Cog Rail up to Pike\'s Peak, and had lunch at Rosie\'s Cafe, an old timey restaurant in Monument, just a short trip from the ranch. The owners David and Val made us feel so welcome and Bill and Sheri, the ranch managers, showed the kids around and introduced them to the farm animals, including new-born kittens. We will definitely return! Thanks for the great time!

Peaceful and quiet. Tucked away wit beautiful views from the deck.


Old farmhouse with all you can asked for. Great kitchen and 4 nice bedrooms. Great front deck to enjoy meals or just read a book. David and ranch managers were always willing to help. If you are coming with horses for a competition at the Colorado Horse Park, this beats a stall and hotel any day of the week and it is only an easy 30 minute drive away. We will be back.

Relaxing Retreat


We were in Larkspur for our Granddaughter\'s wedding. We had a great stay at the Ranch, It was perfect for our Family including Grand kids. The huge yard was great for horse shoe and fun for the kids. The home was very comfortable with so much character. Kitchen very well equipped. After driving into Denver and dealing with rush hour traffic it is so nice to sit out on the large deck with a glass of wine and enjoy the peace and quiet. Thanks David for your hospitality. It was so good to meet you.

Absolutely wonderful!


We had a big wedding at the nearby Flying Horse Ranch and some of our family stayed here for the weekend. It was a lovely, peaceful and comfortable place. The property owner and the on-site property managers could not have been more accommodating and welcoming. They even made room for our horses who would not have been able to be a part of the wedding without having a place to keep them for the weekend. A wonderful place for a family gathering.

Beautiful Old Farm Home


The Hidden Cherry Ranch is a beautiful old farm house with lots of charm. The owners, David and Valerie were wonderful and very accomodating. The area is beautiful with horses on the property, and views of the mountains, farms, fields and ponds. We rented it for the Air Force Academy graduation. It is about 20 miles north of the academy, so, you have to plan ahead for travel, but it\'s a great private spot for friends and family. We had 5 Octogenarians in our group and the fact that there are 2 master suites on the first floor was a huge plus. The decor is a little dated (the house is over 100 years old) but the appliances are all top notch and the kitchen was well stocked. We would definitely stay here again.
