Where every stay becomes a story.

Nestled in the San Juan Mountains above historic Ouray, Gold Mountain Ranch is a 1,200-acre luxury escape for micro-weddings, retreats, and unforgettable escapes.

Encompassing one of Ouray’s oldest mining districts, Gold Mountain Ranch offers experiences as timeless as the peaks that surround it. Here, history and luxury meet: exclusive exploration, breathtaking natural beauty, and first-class hospitality.

Located high above the “Switzerland of America,” our setting is as legendary as the rich mining heritage beneath your feet — and every moment is designed to become part of your story.

Guest Stories

“Our time at Gold Mountain Ranch was more perfect than anything I had imagined. The house and landscape are breathtaking — waking up to mountain sunrises and watching the sun set behind the peaks each night felt like pure magic. We spent time exploring hidden corners of the property, relaxing with family, and simply soaking in the beauty. We talk about wanting to return all the time.”

“Show-stopping. Breathtaking. Unforgettable. That’s how I’d describe Gold Mountain Ranch. Being surrounded by our closest people high up in the mountains felt like stepping into a fairytale. The beauty of the ranch speaks for itself, but what truly stood out was the care and kindness of the team. They connected us with wonderful local experiences and made sure every detail felt effortless. It’s a place I’ll never forget.”

“We could not have asked for a better experience than Gold Mountain Ranch. The views are immaculate, but what makes it even more special is the team behind it. From the moment we booked, we felt taken care of — every question answered, every detail handled with warmth and attention. Our family and friends still talk about how incredible the property was. We’re already planning our return just to relive it all over again.”
