Private Ranch — 40 Acres, Hot Tub, Dark Sky & Pets

Forty private acres. Zero neighbors. One of the darkest night skies in Colorado. Gilson Ranch is a true high-altitude private estate — not a cabin rental. Two king suites, a chef's kitchen, outdoor hot tub, indoor jet tub, and 40 acres of wildlife-rich Colorado plateau, 40 minutes from Breckenridge. Elk at dusk. Wildflowers in June. The Milky Way, unobstructed, overhead — and your dogs are welcome.

Forty private acres. Zero neighbors. One of the darkest night skies in Colorado. This high-altitude private estate on the Colorado plateau is 40 minutes from Breckenridge — and a world away from everything else.

Two king suites, a chef's kitchen with indoor wood-burning oven, outdoor hot tub for stargazing, and an indoor jet tub for when the weather turns. The third bedroom has two twin beds and a dedicated workspace with monitor and printer — for guests who want to work remotely without compromising on setting.

Step outside at dusk and elk or pronghorn are likely moving through the meadow. In June and July the plateau blooms. After dark, the Milky Way is visible with the naked eye — no equipment, no driving, no planning.

• King Suite 1 + King Suite 2
• Third Room: 2 Twin beds + workspace
• Occupancy: Up to 6 | 3 Bedrooms | 3 Baths
• Outdoor hot tub | Indoor jet tub | Outdoor grill | Fire pit
• Dogs welcome
• A Level 2 EV charger is available on-site (per-day rate)

Guests have exclusive access to the entire property — all 40 acres, the full home, outdoor hot tub, indoor jet tub, outdoor grill, and fire pit. Fully private with no shared walls, driveways, or neighboring rentals.

Access is via smart lock — your code is provided through the guest portal prior to arrival.

This property is professionally managed by Gilson Property Group — not an individual host. Every stay is prepared to the same standard: thorough cleaning, quality linens, and responsive support from booking through checkout.

We give guests their space. If anything comes up — a question about the property, a local recommendation, or a concierge request — we are reachable through the VRBO messenger and respond promptly.

Everything from private airport transfers and grocery delivery to private chefs, in-home spa services, and guided excursions is available through your Gilson guest portal before and during your stay. Browse and book on your own schedule — no phone tag required.

Before your stay, we will ask you to complete a quick identity verification through our guest portal. It takes just a few minutes and is how we ensure every Gilson stay is seamless and secure. A valid driver's license and rental agreement are all that is needed to confirm your check-in details.

A $250 security deposit is collected prior to arrival — similar to a hotel holding a credit card on file — and released in full after checkout once all access items are returned. Guests may also choose a non-refundable Damage Waiver instead, selected during the pre-arrival verification process.

Our guest portal also includes our full concierge menu: private chef, grocery and alcohol delivery, airport transportation, welcome kits, in-home spa services, early check-in and late checkout, guided excursions, and local recommendations — all available to browse and book at your convenience, before or during your stay.

The primary renter must be 25 or older.
