Available year-round for your Rocky Mountain retreat, the Broadacres offers a variety of upscale lodging choices. Our new and completely renovated log cabins are named after some of the most productive trout flies used on the Ranch. In the last two years, while making dramatic improvements in the stream habitat for our trout, we made extensive infrastructure and "habitat" improvements for our guests. For environmental and aesthetic reasons we have installed all new septic systems, new water lines, and new underground power and propane lines and tanks. This work has enhanced the beauty of the Ranch and lessened its ecological impact on the land. We have also planted in excess of 400 tree seedlings, and over 500 mature 6' - 12' Spruce, Pine, and Aspen trees.
      It is our goal for guests at Broadacres Ranch to have as much privacy as they wish during their stay. Our individual cabins make this possible. In keeping with this philosophy we have created two parking areas where all guest vehicles will be parked. Upon arrival and departure, Ranch personnel will help you with your belongings. Having these parking areas reasonably removed from the cabins enhances the beauty of our surroundings, and reduces noise and interruptions for our guests, while still allowing the vehicles to be readily accessed.
      Our cabins are decorated in a rustic and colorful Rocky Mountain style, with custom furniture by David Marsh of Eclectic Gallery, and Thomas Molesworth reproductions by New West of Cody, Wyoming. The décor and furnishings are comfortable, fun and relate to the cowboy/fly-fishing nature of the Ranch. For nights as relaxing as your days, you will be sleeping on highest quality Sealy and Simmons beds, ensconced in luxury Charisma sheets. We hope you will enjoy staying in these cabins as much as we've enjoyed planning, building, restoring, and decorating them. Here is a description of each guest cabin.

Royal Coachman Lodge

The Royal Coachman Lodge is a fabulous "new" log home. "New" is in quotes because the foundation and first story logs were saved from a previous ranch house. It is a two-story with 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, kitchen, breakfast area, and living room with a large Rio Grande River rock gas fireplace. The Royal Coachman has aspen paneling and numerous large windows overlooking our scenic Trophy Pond on one side, and offering an unobstructed view of the La Garita Mountains on the other.

      We have built large, covered front and back porches, and a sun deck on the south side. The back porch overlooking the pond is set up for evening dining as well. The upstairs master suite features a king size bed and large reading area. The second upstairs bedroom has 2 full size beds, and the downstairs bedroom has a queen size bed. Whether relaxing on the porches or in the cabin, you are serenaded by the beautiful sound of burbling water running into the pond. The log home is wonderful for larger families or intact angling groups.

Rio Grande King and Prince Nymph

The Rio Grande King/Prince Nymph are the only guest cabins on the south side of the Rio Grande. The Rio Grande King is a freshly renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath log home with carpeted bedrooms and aspen walls. The master bedroom has a king bed, one bedroom has 2 full size beds, and the other bedroom has 1 twin bed. It features a kitchen, breakfast area, living room with a cathedral ceiling and a log-burning fireplace, and an expansive deck.

      The Prince Nymph is a separate fully restored rustic log cabin featuring a covered porch, one bedroom with 2 twin beds, and bath.
      The Rio Grande King/Prince Nymph are our most private lodgings, with fabulous views overlooking the Rio Grande. Like the Royal Coachman, they are perfect for a larger family or an intact angling group.

Royal Humpy and Blue Quill

The Royal Humpy and Blue Quill cabins have been favorites on the Ranch for many years. In 2000 they were completely renovated. They now have new large covered patios overlooking the Rio Grande, with grand views of the LaGarita Mountains as well. They feature 2 bedrooms, one with a queen bed and one with one full size bed and one twin bed, full bath, kitchen with small breakfast area, and a sitting area. The sound of the mighty river will quickly bring you into harmony with the Rockies. These cabins have a rustic charm all their own, and harken back to an earlier era, while offering the comforts and convenience of new furnishings, fixtures, and appliances. The Royal Humpy and Blue Quill are well suited to couples, families of up to 5, or 3 anglers.
