The Coach House is a one-of-a-kind retreat located on Crocker Ranch, a 1500-acre private working ranch with horses and cattle grazing on the pastures that surround this beautiful 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom pet friendly home. Enjoy the feeling of near solitude only 10 minutes from downtown Estes Park. Experience the stars in the night sky, the birds waking up in the morning and deer walking through the yard.

Turn off of highway 36, close the gate (keep the cows and horses in) and leave everyday life behind. Drive through the trees and across the pasture, park at The Coach House and let the vacation begin.

Enter the home into the kitchen and dining area. The wrap around windows make this room feel open and sunny. The wood burning fireplace will make it feel warm and cozy on chilly evenings. This large kitchen, with lots of counter space, has everything you need to make great meals for the whole family. The grill master can show off his skills to add to the culinary delights. Gather around the dining table or the picnic table on the deck and reconnect over dinner.

Walk through to the living area, comfy seating for everyone in front of a second wood burning fireplace. There is a TV on the mantle, making this a great place to gather for family movie night.

If you like a little family competition, try out the pool table. The game table in the sun room is the perfect place to disconnect from technology and spend the evening playing games.

The bedrooms on the main level are great for mom, dad and a couple of kids. The queen bedroom is connected to the two twins bedroom via a sliding glass door. The bathroom for the main level has a shower tub combo and is accessed through the queen bedroom.

Upstairs are the third and fourth bedrooms each with a king bed and an ensuite bathroom with shower tub combo. Plenty of room for everyone to get a good night’s sleep for tomorrow’s adventure.

Wake up in the morning with a cup of coffee on the deck. No need to hurry. Take your time, listen to the birds. Spend the day watching for wildlife, feeling the sun on your face, breathing in the smell of the pine trees. Gaze at the stars with no streetlights to wash out their beauty.

About the Ranch
The land on which Crocker Ranch sits was originally settled by R.E. Stuyvesant in 1872. The land was subsequently purchased by the ranch’s namesake, Frank Crocker who made this his summer home until his death in 1932.

Situated in the valley below Mount Olympus and Park Hill, the Coach House was the last stagecoach stop on the toll road built by Alexander MacGregor into the Estes Valley. Traces of this road are still visible on the ranch today. A beautiful stop along a bumpy dirt road, a difficult ride without the luxury of modern transportation.
Each guest becomes a part of the story of Crocker Ranch. From the travelers who made this their last stagecoach stop on a long arduous ride to Estes Park, to the cowboys who have herded cattle on these pastures, to those of you who choose to make your family memories in this home. SkyRun Vacation rentals and the family who owns this ranch, welcome you to experience the Colorado we love, wide open, authentic and unforgettable.

As with any amazing experience, you want the something to remember it by. The best remembrance is not something that will be tucked away in a box but something you can enjoy with your family at a summer picnic or a family dinner. Crocker Ranch Beef is just that type of remembrance. Crocker Ranch Beef can be purchased by ordering it from the man who tends the cattle. We are not able to include a web address or phone number in this listing but a little research for Crocker Ranch Estes Park will get you the information you need.

Come, relax and enjoy Crocker Ranch.

Crocker Ranch was Amazing!

The Ranch was amazing and to be a part of history on the stagecoach line will not be soon forgotten. I was a little disappointed with the care of the house: The kitchen was lacking serving bowls and storage containers, but the basics were available, many light bulbs were burned out, screens were broken on doors and unusable and the over all cleanliness was lacking a bit, however, none of these things overshadowed the peace and tranquility of our stay. We would definitely stay here again!

This beautiful cabin is part of a large private ranch and the rental cabin is managed by SkyRun! As far as rental management goes, this place is ran so incredibly well. Easy to get ahold of them, simple check in instructions, very friendly and highly accommodating. I happened to be able to meet the owner of the ranch and he was very friendly and welcoming! I mean, this place is beyond beautiful. Private. Clean. Spacious. And pet friendly which was a huge plus. Very close to downtown Estes. I would absolutely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone staying in the area. 10/10!

Host's response:

We loved the scenery and the view. Easy access to Estes, but super private and feels like youre in the country. Cant beat the sky view at night, wow. The owner was super nice and we loved learning some of the history of the area. Would stay again.

Host's response:

The Coach House at Crocker Ranch really does have excellent views, and lots of open space. It's wonderful the owner was able to provide you with some of our Estes Park history, and hopefully how Crocker Ranch fits into that history. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay there. SkyRun Estes Park would love to host you again.

Really cool place to stay. Reminds me a bit of cabin in the woods but of course ended up being far less horror-movie-esque. Just a super nice stay and very accommodating. Had a baby and a toddler with us and they provided two pack n plays for our use.

Host's response:

Glad you enjoyed your stay at the cabin in the woods! SkyRun Estes Park would love to host you again.

Peace & Tranquility

Loved our stay at the Coach House on Crocker Ranch. Very peaceful location, huge kitchen to work in and lots of space for everyone to have their own. Not a lot of places to walk to as you are limited to where you can go on the ranch and a few dust bunnies under the beds but hey, I would go back if the opportunity arises. If you're looking for a quiet location, this is it!
