Ideal spot for a family reunion or other big event where you want a place where everyone can come together for meals or meetings, but also separate private sleeping cabins so you are not together ALL of the time.  The decor is gorgeous and the setting is truly serene.  I have total kitchen envy... Two fridges, two dishwashers and a pantry that is the size of the whole rest of the kitchen.  Close to all sorts of outdoor activities (snowshoeing, xcountry skiing, fishing on a private stretch of river, hiking, and mountain biking), but also perfect if you just want to sit on a comfy chair amongst nature and read.  It is 20 minutes away from the closest store, so it's a good plan to bring all the food, etc. you need for your stay. 

A magical riverside retreat for quality time with friends and family!  We’ve had the pleasure of staying at Slippery Rock Ranch twice, in both winter and summer, and it has so much to offer in any season.  On our recent winter visit, we enjoyed the cozy indoor spaces, the hot tub, cooking big meals in the perfectly-appointed kitchen, and of course easy access to our favorite ski mountain Telluride.  The offerings in summer are even more numerous—fabulous fly fishing on the property, river play, indoor/outdoor living and many meals on the deck, as well as great trails for hiking and mountain biking nearby (two of our favorites are Priest Gulch & Bear Creek).  Basically, there’s something for everyone.Our large, multi-generational group enjoyed retreating to our own cabins (so nice to have your own space) and then converging at the main cabin for family meals and games.  We hope to return soon!

Our family booked a winter stay at Slippery Rock River Ranch and were very pleased with the accommodations. The main house has everything we could need for our stay and a fun place to gather for meals and hanging out. Each cabin was comfortable and quiet, a nice respite from the group dynamics. We can't wait to come back in summer and enjoy this lovely property!

The properties decor was amazing! Cabins as well as  kitchen/common area  had very limited spaces, main room was really nice but sheets were dirty and heaters from patio couldn’t be turned on. Hot water from one of the showers did not work at all and was never fixed. Overall we had a good experience, but could of been much better. 

We have now stayed at Slippery Rock River Ranch during the fall for 3 consecutive years...always excited to arrive there and sad to leave! It is a heavenly spot with great attention to high-end, thoughtful detail and becomes a "home away from home" for our family. Whether preparing wonderful meals in the well-appointed kitchen, chillin' outside under the heaters by the fireplace, walking the beautiful property, hanging out by the river, or viewing endless starry skies, this gem is truly a treasure that holds a special place in our hearts!
