Puma Hills River Ranch is a 3rd generation, working hay ranch surrounding 2.4 miles of the Tarryall River that meanders along the peaceful Tarryall Valley. The ranch is peaceful and secluded, yet with many services and adventures just minutes away. The guest house is nestled in the Puma Hills bordered by Pike National Forest overlooking the Tarryall River. From the picture window is a beautiful view of the river, our hay meadows and the mountains beyond.

Our guests can enjoy private fly fishing on the Tarryall River, hiking and biking and scenic views from every direction. There is a horseshoe pit and a campfire ring for warming your toes by the fire and viewing the endless array of stars. The guest house is clean, fully equipped and easily accessible.

Bring your horse and ride the beautiful trails, bring your family for an unforgettable vacation or spend your honeymoon under the stars! Come and experience YOUR OWN PRIVATE PARADISE!

Ask about our space for yoga and meditation retreat.

In the evenings, guests like to relax on the patio with a refreshing drink while watching the river flow.

On occasion a herd of elk or mule deer and a small group of big horn sheep will graze in the meadows below. Eagles, blue heron and many other birds hunt, feed or raise their young in the riparian areas, and some evenings the coyotes will sing among each other.

Puma Hills River Ranch is located on paved County Rd. 77. Just 7 miles northwest of Lake George, 50 miles northwest of Colorado Springs and 85 miles west of Denver.

If your interested in hunting, we offer self-guided hunting packages in areas 501, 500 and 50.

About Steve and Jennifer Allard

My grandparents bought this ranch in 1960. As a young boy, I worked on the ranch, fished the river and explored the mountains beyond. Through the years I have kept the ranch alive, continuing to enjoy and protect the land. A few years ago my wife and I decided to open the ranch to travelers and share this unique and beautiful land with others. We hope you enjoy this peaceful place as much as we do!

Perfect Setting

Jennifer & Steve were excellent hosts. They were very quick to respond to any questions. The property
was spotless, the views were magnificent. The property is ideal for families, fishermen, & hunters. I can't think of any reason not to love this property. We had intended to see some of the area sites, but we were
enjoying the property so much, that we did not want to leave.
Thanks for sharing Switch & Roo, they were so much fun to watch. Jennifer & Steve you guys are the best, we will be back as soon as possible.

Great family getaway!

Submitted: August 14, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
Secluded and quiet, yet only 7 miles down a paved road to town. The owners were EXTREMLY friendly and helpful. Although some burned areas were visible in the distance, it is a very pretty area. The house was nice, roomy, and well furnished/supplied. It is a working farm, so be aware that there is some traffic coming & going past the house (once or twice per day, nothing tragic). ATV/jeep trails are close by. The Tarryall Reservoir and waterfall are just a short drive away--the waterfall has a nice little swimming hole at the base of it. Having your own private stretch of the creek to yourself was especially nice. It was plenty warm to wade in and definitely populated with fish. Tubing was a bit of a challenge in Aug with the water being so low, but the nearby Platte River (5 miles away) offered a great tubing experience. The 2.4 miles of creek is broken apart in a few sections by barbed wire and dams; certainly not a big deal for anglers, a slight inconvenience for tubers. Overall, this ranch is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if you are looking to get away from it all and enjoy the beauty of nature!

Adventure and relaxation for the whole family!

5 of 5
Submitted: March 20, 2012 Stayed: March 2012
We took our 3 young kids here and had a fantastic time! They could run outside whenever they wanted, we were able to view tons of stars at night, and we even got to see some wildlife grazing by the river.
Location was great. We liked the seclusion of the ranch but also made several day trips into Colorado Springs/Manitou (about an hour away) to see the Garden of the Gods, Pike's Peak, etc. Even the small towns nearby had cute restaurants and things to do. If we had our pick of time of year, we would probably prefer to visit in warmer weather as my husband enjoys fishing (a river runs right in front of the ranch). As it was, the kids had fun playing in the patches of snow that were left, and we all enjoyed hiking around the land.
The house was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked. We didn't feel the pictures did the property justice, even though they do make it look great. We only met one of the owners, Jennifer, and she was extremely helpful in both setting up our reservation and informing us of local sights we wouldn't want to miss.
It was really the perfect family vacation, and we are recommending it to our friends should they visit the area!

This is the second time we have stayed here, but it won't be our last. While the fishing was good, the privacy outstanding, the facilities spotless and in great repair, the owners are the best asset of the entire experience. They are the greatest....helpful in every way, from the handling of the rental agreements, right through making sure that every thing is provided and performs well that you need for your stay. Everything about this location is understated in the listing description. It is all better than advertised. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a reasonably priced, private family vacation that includes fishing, swimming, rafting, wildlife and bird watching, and a lovable dog that never tires of retrieving. There is also horseback riding nearby.

Tranquility and great fishing

5 of 5
Submitted: January 23, 2012 Stayed: July 2011
The home is everything listed and then some. Everything is as it should be; clean, cared for, well supplied, and away from everything. The location is spectacular. Although we picked what turned out to be not such a good time to fish the Terryall, the fishing on the Miracle Mile was outstanding and it's only about a 20 minute drive. The fishing is technical, so bring # 24 and smaller nymphs...and hope for some dry activity. There were 3 of us and we really enjoyed the house and especially the hospitality and welcoming of our hosts, Steve & Jennifer.....and if you want to meet a REAL cowboy, Steve is the real deal. We hope we'll be able to return and will always cherish the friendships made while there.
