Finding options for small group getaways can be tough, but there are two Colorado gems in tiny towns to consider.
Under new ownership, Hartsel Ranch in Hartsel has undergone a major renovation. The main lodge has an upscale luxury vibe with two large living spaces featuring the original stone fireplace, five separate seating areas, and a large conference table. There also is a dining room that can be converted into a meeting space, a bar area, and two porches with fire pits. For accommodations, Hartsel Ranch has six guest rooms in the lodge and four cabins. With roughly 2 miles of private fishing on the South Platte River, the ranch is an angler’s paradise.
Established in 2020, the 32-acre Beyul Retreat along the Frying Pan River in Meredith offers all-inclusive packages that include accommodations in cabins or a historic lodge, meals, and activities. Additional benefits include an on-site event coordinator and a chef who specializes in fresh, seasonal fare. With no cell phone service or Wi-Fi in the cabins but high-speed Starlink in the main lodge and event tent, Beyul balances business with opportunities to disconnect and relax. With a focus on the physical and mental health of attendees, retreats held at Beyul can incorporate backcountry education, yoga, breathwork, music, and other wellness practices.
The property can be fully bought out or partially booked.
