We stayed at LoVE Ranch in Golden for our small micro wedding, and it was exactly what we hoped for. The house was very clean, comfortable, and had plenty of space for everyone. The mountain views made a beautiful backdrop for our ceremony, and the outdoor areas were perfect for our gathering.The property had everything we needed—from a well-stocked kitchen to fun extras like the game room and hot tub. It felt private and peaceful, yet close enough to town when we needed it.We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate such an important day. We already plan to come back for our anniversary and look forward to making more memories here.
Love Mountain Ranch was an amazing property that allows us to spend time over our wedding weekend relaxing with immediate family! The property was clean, well-maintained and had something for everyone. The hosts were wonderful and responsive to questions we had during our stay. We would stay here again - highly recommend!
This house was amazing! The views can't even be described how gorgeous they were from every window. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. We were looking for a relaxing vacation and that's just what we got! The house was super comfy and the manager was always a text away if we needed anything or had any questions. With all the added high technology we had an experience of a lifetime with our family! Golden is a great location for grabbing no dinner, hiking and local shopping. We will definitely be back!
Our troupe of young gentlemen had a superb stay at LoVE Ranch! Accommodations were immaculate, views stunning, natural scenery breathtaking and we particularly enjoyed the opportunity to brush up on our golf skills and relax by the fire in the evenings. Highly recommended, we can’t wait to come back!
The house was beautiful had plenty to do inside the house for a family of adults 19-88 years old. The view is stunning and no expense was spared for luxury of furnishings and appliances.
We hosted a family getaway and the Love Mountain Ranch was a wonderful place! Plenty of rooms and comfortable beds. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of cups, platelets and silverware. It was a gorgeous drive to get out of the city and the views from the house and patios were amazing!!!! Wonderful host and beautiful house.
Beautiful house in a beautiful setting for our small multigenerational family reunion. Great kitchen and open spaces giving the choice of privacy or community for all of us. The views were gorgeous from the house and from the extensive decks, and the house was an accessible 20 minute drive to Golden. Rex, the manager was extremely attentive, available, and helpful. We loved our visit !
The property is beautiful, spacious, and everything we needed. The views are incredible, and we loved all of the different games and activities available on sight. The kitchen and main living room were perfect for our group considering we ate at home most nights. There are big common spaces, but also a lot of space for people to spread out. We loved our stay, and look forward to returning.
Fantastic lodge, which is very spacious and has lots of amenities. Wonderful views of other peaks and Denver. We had one small hiccup when we were checking in, but the property manager went above and beyond in getting it fixed immediately. I highly recommend this beautiful place and we will be staying there again.
My husband and I and our 3 teenage children had a great first visit to Colorado. Staying at LoVE Ranch made it unforgettable, the views from the house and the amenities of the house were unbeatable. We enjoyed coffee in the mornings on the deck, watching movies in the theater room, and visits to RMNP, Golden and Denver. Rex was very kind and checked on us throughout our stay. Highly recommend this property!
The property is beautiful. Nicely decorated and many upgrades. Putting green, walking the property and hot tub were are enjoyed. Hiking trails nearby. Town of Golden a 20 min ride that s scenic. We saw Turkey, deer, and an elk on or near the property. Nights were cool and could hear an owl. Theatre room is amazing.
We stayed here for my wedding weekend and used the property to get ready day of/have myself, new husband and out of town family stay at for the weekend. All of us were blown away by this place! From the views, to the toilets, showers, movie theater room, open space, decor- ugh, it was perfect! Literally wouldn’t change a thing. Rex was also awesome and communicated very well with us! My family already said they want to come back and book this place again. Definitely the best VRBO I’ve stayed at. :)
Fantastic home, spacious and plenty to do. Rex was great to work with and responsive. Kids loved the game room and the theater room. Adults loved the kitchen and the sauna! You get city views and the continental divide from the home, truly breathtaking. We hiked at White Ranch Park and Mt Galbraith park, spent time in Golden and Boulder and made great memories. Go here, you won’t regret it. (Make sure you have AWD/4x4 per the instructions, it just makes it easier)
We booked the Love Ranch over Thanksgiving. I have to say, for not being at the property to check us in, the process was extremely smooth. The owner, Rex, was engaging when needed (the hot tub tripped the circuit breaker) and was available via text. The home was well amended. We cooked Thanksgiving dinner and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cookware. The hot tub, the game room and the sauna were used a lot. I would definitely recommend this home if you want a private secluded getaway with all the amenities on the premises. It was a great experience and the entire family enjoyed the Thanksgiving in Colorado.
The home, the experiencing the location - Absolutely perfect!!
This well-stocked home overlooks Denver at the end of a private road. Beautiful views can be had at the end of your deck while relaxing next to the campfire or through any of the oversized windows looking in ALL directions!! Insane mountain top views!
Deer greeted us "EVERY" morning around 6:45 while we drank coffee from our bedroom balcony.
Heated sauna showers, Bathroom floors and toilets ensured every possible luxury against the cold weather. Admittedly, we got spoiled and refrained from using public restrooms. lol
Just a 10min drive from Golden we enjoyed great food, bars and historical tours of the Ex Capital of the Colorado territory. We were able to fit in Snowmobiling, side by sides and hiking but I must say the majority of time may have been spent in the game room playing Ping-pong. lol
Great communications, home instructions and quick responses. We were far from home but felt very comfortable here knowing our host was nearby.
We can't wait to return to visit Red Rocks and the Coors Brewery for more fun and memories at Love Ranch.
Thank you so much!!
We couldn't ask for more!

I would like to give this VR 5 stars, but there is one large setback that prevents me.
The home is large, has a lot of really great amenities, and has several really amazing views. My kids loved the movie room and game room. My wife and I loved the views of the city from the bedroom. It was much larger than we needed for a family of 5 and would probably work well for a large family gathering of 10 or so.
We had some issues during booking but it all worked out in the end and we had really good communication from the property manager.
However, I just can't give 5 stars.
The road to the property was in dire need of pavement and barriers. The PM did indicate to us that we needed 4WD to make it, but I want to stress that you really need a truly off road capable vehicle. We have a 4WD Tundra with the off-road package and we were still stressed taking that road. During summer this probably isn't as bad but during the spring the snow and mud made this a dangerous path. It's a single lane dirt trail with some dangerous drop offs.
I was looking for an isolated, high-end property in the mountains of Colorado not too far from the airport where I could stay with some of my friends for 10 days without feeling the need to leave, and that's exactly what I found at LoVE Mountain Ranch. My favorite part was the in-house movie theater since I havent' been able to go to a movie in over 20 years. A friends' daughter celebrated her 11th birthday at the house and we had a hard time keeping her out of the hot tub despite the cold and snow. And we all loved the steam shower in the master bathroom. Rex was very accommodating and even provided us with a DVD player in the theather so I could watch the movies I brought. He made sure the road was plowed for us and even shoveled all the decking for us, which is a lot of work because there is so much of it. People need to know the bedrooms occupy 3 levels and the master suite is on the 3rd level, where I stayed. Climbing the stairs was a bit difficult for someone turning 60 who was not used to the altitude and has health issues, but it was worth it. The bed was firmer than I'm used to, but I slept well and didn't have any pain nevertheless. And the view of the city was outstanding! My friend had a cold and suffered from the dry air, but Rex provided us with a mister which she kept in her room. It helped her breathe and stopped her dry nose. I highly recommend staying at LoVE Mountain Ranch any time of year.

No Air Conditioning!
We booked this house for a family get together. The house states it has air conditioning. It does NOT. Only the master bedroom, kitchen and family room have air conditioning. The theatre and 3 other bedrooms as well as game room have no AC and are hot! We had to use every fan they had as there are no screens on the windows and many bugs. I texted the property manager at 11pm as we were all hot and miserable and he told me to "throw a hose up to the 2nd floor and use the swamp cooler". I had to google what a swamp cooler was and found it in a closet on the first floor. Carried it upstairs and used the blender pitcher to fill it with water. It was loud and made it impossible for bedroom doors to be closed. And it still did not solve the issue nor did it cool a bedroom on a different floor. I would not rent this house in the summer as there is NO air conditioning in the majority of the house. The listing should not say it is an air conditioned house. We were also there during a hail storm and the listing says access to a 3 car garage. This was not the case as 1 garage door is broken, 1 garage door had a ton of stuff piled up inside of it and was had a car in it making the garage completely unusable. My sons car had hail damage - another example of the house being misrepresented. If I had known the house had no AC in all but 1 bedroom I never would have rented it. Look for another house if you want to sleep well in the summer!
What a beautiful property on an incredible setting! We'll never forget our arrival at Love Mountain Ranch! The vistas from anywhere on the property are absolutely breathtaking! The home itself is a high end luxury stay that seems to have been recently renovated and updated to include any and all amenities you could imagine. Top of the line appliances. Heated floors. Steam showers. Even hi tech toilets/bidets in all the bathrooms!
Directions and checkin as provided by the property manager, Rex, all went smoothly. What questions we had were answered promptly with a phone call.
Our trip revolved around a concert at nearby Red Rocks. We left a car for the evening in nearby Golden and took an Uber back and forth to the park. Between a venue like Red Rocks and all the available hiking/biking/tubing, Love Mountain Ranch is the perfect place to stay.
We can hardly wait to book again!!
