PLEASE NOTE

- As we rent our entire facility to one large group at a time, we do not offer any refunds once the facility is booked. We do recommend a third party insurance policy like AAA, Allianz Global, etc... We find these are affordable and will cover your expenses in the event of unforeseen cancelation.

- We do not allow weddings hosted at the ranch and we also do not rent the facility from mid-May to Mid July.

- We do not allow group gatherings that are open to non-overnight guests.

- The ropes course and zip line are an additional cost of $15 per person, per hour and must be reserved two weeks in advance of your stay. The Giant Swing requires a group of at least 15 healthy participants to be a pull team. We will be unable to facilitate the Giant Swing with a group smaller than this. The ropes course and Giant Swing are only available from April 1st to Oct 1st.

- The property does not allow outdoor fires. This is an insurance requirement and is not negotiable. It's out of our hands!

Great Base Camp for Family Trip
Our group of 22 really enjoyed the camp. We had 6 different families staying ranging from ages 3 to 66 and everyone loved it. There is plenty of space to spread out. The kids especially loved the pond and waterslide. The adults loved the peaceful setting and huge kitchen. The location is 20 minutes from town but the star gazing is amazing. The camp is top notch. Queen beds were comfortable, kitchen is fully sticked with anything a chef would need. Tim was great respnding to questions along the way also. We hope to return next year.

Family Reunion
We had 3 generations of family spend Thanksgiving together at your property. The bunkhouse & Alpine Lodge were great for our family. The Eagle Lodge had great space & cooking equipment, however, an abundance of flying gnats and more than a few mice droppings and mice getting into food caused the rating of 3. We love the facility and with some minor corrections we would recommend this property highly.

An Amazing Experience
My family (party of 23) recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful property and it was an unforgettable experience. Nestled in the heart of nature, it offered a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern amenities. From the moment we arrived, the stunning views took our breath away. The property was well-maintained, clean, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was fully stocked with utensils and appliances, making it easy to prepare meals.It was perfect for gathering with our large family, complete with a cozy fireplace that added to the warm ambiance. The host was incredibly responsive to our needs. The Zip line instructors were Amazing! They made our experience unforgettable! Overall, this property exceeded our expectations, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a tranquil retreat in nature. It is a perfect choice! The pictures do not do this property justice. We will definitely be visiting again.

Perfect for family reunions!
We had a great time! Plenty of room to sleep. And more than enough outside space!! The kids loved the chickens and lambs. The staff was amazing. The left us alone unless we needed something. They were so nice and helpful. The only down was the beds are uncomfortable.. and even though I LOVE a comfortable bed I would stay here again because the family had such a great time! It was secluded enough but close enough to Durango . Just an amazing place to stay!

Fantastic family reunion destination
We had a wonderful family reunion at the Cross Bar X Ranch in August 2022, staying 6 nights, with 25 people of all ages. We were so impressed by the friendly, helpful staff members who assisted us with our check-in process, the Zipline course, ropes course, giant slide and equipment for karaoke use. We loved the cabins for sleeping, and the Eagle lodge with all of the cooking facilities, equipment and seating for large groups. The lake and water trampoline was a highlight, with all the water toys we could imagine like kayaks, paddle boards, canoes, and lifejackets of all sizes. We had full use of the archery area and shooting range , which we brought our own equipment for using there. We loved being able to use the large campfire area which had plenty of seating also. The location was close to Durango so we could go there easily for side outings and groceries if needed. Overall, it was a great experience and many memories were made there; everyone was happy at all times because of the many options of things to do. We would definitely recommend this place and look forward to returning another year. A huge thank you for the kindness and generosity of the staff

Best place ever!!
Our entire group of 19 LOVED staying here. The ages ranged for 5 years old to 75 years old. We loved having the ability to cook multiple times a day in the huge full size commercial kitchen with all the extra refrigerator space as well as freezer space. This facility completely fulfilled all of our needs/wants and more. There was so many things available that the only reason we would leave the property was for snow mobiling or to go to the store. Anytime we had a question a simple text was all we had to do and we would get a helpful response withen minutes. We are already planning a trip back! Us Houstonians LOVE Colorado!
