Yellow Pine Guest Ranch

Southeast Colorado


The Yellow Pine is located up in Cuchara, where you can rent cute red cabins (accommodating two to eight people) perfectly oriented for marvelous valley, meadow and West Peak views. There are horse professionals to take you riding ($30 per hour), old wagon wheels lining the driveway and a stream meandering through the property.
