The Bighorn Ranch on The Taylor River

This newly renovated home sits on 18 acres of private land, including 225 yards of private Taylor River front access. Surrounded by scenic mountain views, this estate provides your own secluded getaway conveniently nestled between Crested Butte and Gunnison. It is also a quick walk to the free RTA bus stop that takes you to Gunnison, Crested Butte and Mt. Crested Butte.

The house has two levels. There are 3 bedrooms (1 king and 2 queens) with two full baths on the main floor. One of the living rooms has a double hide-a-bed that can be made up to sleep another 1-2 people. The basement contains a spacious "bunk house" with 2 queen over queen bunk beds for a total of 4 queen beds which sleep up to eight. The basement also has a full bathroom and an additional double vanity sink outside of the full bathroom and living area. It's a perfect getaway space for large groups, kids and adults alike. The heated garage serves as a game room with a pool table and ping pong table, fun for everyone! The homeowner has recently updated the internet service at this home and it now has an increased bandwidth of 200MB. This will allow up to 20 guests to be streaming data at the same time!

The spectacular seasons at The Bighorn Ranch offer one of a kind views of nature and a wide range of wildlife right from your deck. Big Horn Sheep (Ram) herds are regular visitors to the property, hence the name "Big Horn" Ranch. Elk, deer, mountain goats, eagles, foxes, and more frequent the property. In addition, The Bighorn Ranch borders national forest land which provides even more privacy and unique private access for hiking and endless exploration. Bring your binoculars!

This property's private river access includes a large pool area on the river. It fills up with a Kokanee salmon run in the Fall. Trout fill the pool year round along with several pristine spots all along the home's private river access.

The spacious deck is perfect for a BBQ with an oversized Weber natural gas grill, plenty of seating and magnificent views. The gourmet kitchen is fully stocked. The oversized island with seating and dining table flows with the home's vast open floor plan. It's perfect to spread out and entertain, all while feeling the ambiance of a rustic mountain retreat.

The driveway can fit up to 2 full size RV's and the property itself has lots of space for any recreational toy you want to bring. There's plenty of room to park and maneuver around. The owner has recently installed a 50amp RV hook up. There is not a water or sewer hook up. If you are traveling in your RV or have a group that would like some more privacy you can hook up your RV for the nightly fee of $50. Please reach out to us if you have any questions about this.

The Bighorn Ranch is in the heart of Almont. Directly located at the intersection of the Taylor, East and Gunnison Rivers, the location hosts world class outdoor recreation. Three Rivers Resort, located directly on the other side of the Taylor River, is a short walk. It offers rafting, an outdoor restaurant & bar in the summer, popular provisions, shopping, outfitting, a fly shop, and an array of additional outdoor entertainment and custom offerings.

We had a great stay! The house exceeded our expectations! Very stylish. The property manager was very polite and prompt on her email communication responses. The 9 kids in our group enjoyed the double queen bunk beds, living room, bathroom, and TV area downstairs. Upstairs were 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (1 was an en suite), and a pull out couch. The kitchen was large with a big center island. The garage was nice to put things inside that we didn't want to leave outside or drag into the house. We had 2 trucks with trailers and 2 SUV's and we had plenty of room to park. We enjoyed the campfire pit outside along with the already stacked firewood available. There were starter rolls of toilet paper and paper towels, along with dish soap and washing machine detergent. There were 2 sets of washer/dryer available. We didn't use the gas BBQ grill, but it was available. The only thing that was a little disappointing was the

We were centrally located for riding our side by sides. We had room for our trucks/trailers. Plenty of room. The place was really clean and had everything we were looking for. Drinking a beer on the porch or playing pool in the garage. Lots to do and a great area for hiking, fishing, or white water rafting.

My family and I were really amazed when we walked in. The size of the cabin, cleanliness, upgrades we didn’t think we would find in a cabin. They enjoyed the inside as well as the outside. We wanted a white Christmas and you guys delivered. I would recommend it and give it 5 stars.

This is a fantastic property. The house is located between Gunnison and Crested Butte with easy access to both. The bedrooms were comfortable and there was plenty of room. The kitchen and family room are great spaces to cook and spend time with your group. The kitchen well well stocked with cookware. There is ample parking space. The garage was set with table games. It's a beautiful location with an outside patio and a firepit. We definitely had a wonderful stay and will stay here again the next time we are in town.

This place could not have been better for our vacation. We had 8 adults, 4 kids, and a couple of dogs, and we had plenty of space to spread out in the house. The property itself is also awesome with places for climbing, hiking, and accessing the river.

If you like staying in Almont and have a bigger group with UTV/ATVs then this is a great place. It’s one of the larger cabins that you can find in the area with plenty of parking. We stayed with my family of 5, my in laws, and my brother with his family of 4. We all pull trailers to the area and had no issue with parking. Great location for all things outdoors.
