In order to meet the demand and new trend around millennial couples’ weddings, who want an intimate setting for a multi day stay for their closest family and friends to share their wedding experience in a destination mountain setting with no hassles or stress, Red Rock Ranch featuring more than 10,000 square feet of living space spread between the ‘Old West Saloon’ lodge, elegant guest cottage and rustic mountain cabin has, begun this year, making the property available for destination weddings accommodating a maximum of 50 people with everyone staying on the property.
One week from today, Red Rock Ranch will release dates for its summer season of 2018. “The concept has really taken off and bookings are a few years in advance. The profitable business model with low overhead being run with all contract labor is a new concept in the guest ranch business,” said Bart Miller, Managing Broker of Mason & Morse Ranch Company, hired to sell Red Rock Ranch.
"Creating a successful guest ranch business in Westcliffe, Colorado and the positive economic impact that it has had on the local community, while meeting this new demand in the hospitality industry, has been incredibly rewarding,” said Rick Prill, owner of Red Rock Ranch.
Instead of the traditional “dude” ranch business model which typically carries enormous overhead, safety liabilities and separate groups of guests with different needs who also may have booked a stay at the property during the same time, Red Rock Ranch is rented much like one would rent a beach house. The renters get the luxury of using a large western ranch for the duration of their stay with family and friends that is completely private for their group while choosing and paying for, only activities to their liking.
Red Rock Ranch in Westcliffe, Colorado was homesteaded around 1874, and has had many lives since the first settlers, but within recent years it has become a thriving “rent-a-private ranch” business for family reunions, anniversaries, enrichment workshops, and now: Private Multi-day Destination Weddings.
Last week, the ranch was placed with Mason and Morse Ranch Company as a turn-key offering for sale, that includes the property, the business, all of the furnishings and several additional building sites, all set on approximately 470 acres with dramatic views of the stunning Sangre de Cristo mountain range. www.ranchland.com/redrockranch
