Tumbling River Ranch Policies

The cost of the Sunday-to-Saturday stay includes: accommodations (rooms have private baths and wood burning fireplaces), all home cooked meals and snacks, facilities (heated pool, hot tub, outdoors spaces, games spaces), personalized horsemanship program, children’s programs, family evening activities, guided hiking programs, fitness and wellness classes, shooting sports, fishing on our private ponds and fly-fishing clinics, vehicle trips, and the overnight pack-trip.

Optional activities and services: We want to offer as many activities and services as we can to make your family vacation perfect. Tumbling River offers the options to add to your vacation: an all-day white-water rafting trip with Wilderness Aware Rafting Company out of Buena Vista, CO ($145 per person), airport transfers to and from Denver International Airport ($500 round-trip for the entire family up to 6 people) massage therapy (the range runs $60-$115), exclusive guided fly fishing excursions with professional guides ($500-$600 per angler), full service bar, and evening babysitting (for children under 3 years old). No cash is needed. All of these charges are added to your bill and settled at the end of the week.

There is a service charge of 18% added to all reservations.

Deposit Policy: We require a deposit of 25% of the total package. This deposit is due within 10 days of making your reservation. Should you need to cancel, the deposit (less 10%) is refundable if notice of cancellation is received at least 60 days in advance of your arrival date. Inside 60 days of your arrival date, the deposit is non-refundable. The remaining balance of your rates is due 45 days prior to your arrival. This will include taxes and the service charge. Any cancellations after the final payment has been made is NON-REFUNDABLE and NON-TRANSFERABLE.

Any additionals will be paid at check out. Reservations made within 60 days prior to arrival must be 100% prepaid at the time of booking. Because of our small size, cancellations or rescheduling of dates affect us significantly. A last minute cancellation or date change gives us little chance of filling the space due to our remote location and short operating season. For these reasons we uphold a strict cancellation policy. Tumbling River Ranch highly recommends the purchase of travel insurance. We recommend Travel Guard, as this company was chosen by the Dude Ranch Association and seems to work well with Dude Ranch vacationers. You can reach Travel Guard at www.duderanch.org/triptravel-insurance or 1-877-249-5376. Use product number #109400

Please note your guests’ responsibilities: all guests will be required to follow the ranch rules and guidelines, safety policies and procedures. We require all riders to sign a Participant Equine Waiver before arrival or upon arrival.

Tumbling River Ranch is an equal opportunity employer and operates under special use permit from The Pike National Forest.

Sorry, we are not able to accommodate your pets.

If you are driving to the ranch, we recommend that you arrive between 3:00 pm and 6:00 pm (dinner is at 7:00 pm, following a 6:00 pm orientation). If you are using ranch transportation, note that Denver International Airport is 75 miles away from Tumbling River (about a two-hour drive), and our first available airport pickup is at 1:00 pm on check-in Sunday as a result. Please schedule your flight accordingly.
