Has a fishing pond, shooting range, swimming pool, fire pits, cabins, RV hookups, camp sites, etc. The area is beautiful, set right at the border of the Pike National Forest. Maintenance has clearly been suffering a bit over the years. Many of the buildings are clearly quite old, and while that does add to the "rustic charm" of the place somewhat, it also stands out rather obviously. Several buildings look abandoned, and even those that are among the better maintained need more work. Being that there aren't a lot of places left like this which are able to cater to Christian groups specifically, and since they probably avoid price gouging their fellow Christians, I doubt the place is able to make much money, which is likely the limiting factor on the maintenance issues.

We went for a fall…read morefest and there were fun family oriented activities including vendors, food trucks, wagon rides, the Cheyenne mobile zoo, marshmallow roasting and even a mini pumpkin patch. I was glad we brought our wagon to haul the pumpkins home (and our daughter around). Parking for the event is a little bit of a trek but they offered rides to those in need via golf cart. Considering this event is free, put on by the city of Lone Tree, I was super impressed! It wasn't too busy/crowded and food and pumpkin prices were reasonable while all else was free! I highly recommend Schweiger Ranch for an event and/or a visit outside of an event.

I chose to because it's fun and the path down to the ranch is muddy. He walked. I headed to the line for horse carriage rides. They had two carriages and took 10 people each time. So fun! I love horse carriages. The horses are gorgeous. It was so fun. Then we walked around the vendors. And ended up at the handmade bratwurst sandwich stand. I don't eat a lot of meat but the elk brats were delicious. So lean and tasty. And they had well done ones in addition to the regular ones. Some sauerkraut, spicy mustard and ketchup. It was cold but we sat at an outdoor table and ate our lunch. Visited the reindeer pen. Adorable. They have children's crafts and you can visit the historical buildings and see the goats. An enclosed tent where performers are and also Santa ! It's not a large event but made me happy to finally have a carriage ride for the holidays. I tipped the carriage rides company - they take cash or Venmo. And the vendors take cash or Venmo as well.

The bride and groom had their own cabin in the meadow -- so romantic! What a charming place! My husband and I stayed in the Colorado Sun room, which had so many amenities: a kitchenette, private hot tub, double-sided fireplace, two-person shower, and even a sauna! The whole B&B had just a ton of history and character. The furnishings were all super comfortable, with a relaxed, rustic vibe. A few things needed some updating and fixing, though. There was no hot water from the kitchen sink of our room because the little under-sink water heater was broken. One of the baseboards had come lose in the bathroom and there was tons of mold on the drywall. The water up there is well water, and it was incredibly soft; hard to wash the shampoo out of your hair, and it tasted NASTY. Definitely consider bringing your own bottled drinking water if you're going to stay a few days. The breakfast part of the bed and breakfast was pretty good. Two of the staff came up each morning to cook and serve hearty potatoes, sausage, eggs, fruit salad, coffee, orange juice, etc. It wasn't particularly good, but it was nice to have a hot, served meal that wasn't pizza delivery. We ate breakfast outside, where the bees were a nuisance because they wanted all of our food. We had just a fantastic weekend up here! Definitely the best wedding I've ever been to. I would highly recommend Meadow Creek for events of all kinds, but especially if you want to rent out the whole place.

We selected the separate cabin in the meadow for our two day stay. Initial appearance was exciting but once we occupied unit we found how lacking it was. It is billed as small and intimate but we found the place "just" dirty and tried to overlook it. Clean towels and sheets were provided. Screen door did not fit so bugs, gnats, flies and moths inside. Had a King bed but for us the mattress was too soft. Very low toilet and small shower. Hot tub in room puts off odor and cycles throughout the day - meaning it comes on 2-3 times at night in a very quiet setting. Local water tasted and smelled terrible...so bring bottled water (some provided). Two FOLDING chairs provided for deck which needs upkeep badly. When we arrived we had no clue where to go for check in. - which door? 9am breakfast is too late for us and was ok. Visiting with other guests always a plus. The Elk in the meadow was a real plus too.

We stayed two (2) nights at Bailey Lodge in Bailey, CO. First impression was that it was an older…read morelodge, and had not been recently updated for at least 10 or 20 years due to the outdated-looking linens, dirty carpeting, and the "landlord special" type paint jobs and caulking. The room was fairly clean, however, we did find that there were spider webs in the bathroom (with live spiders), dead bugs smashed and stuck to the ceilings and window sills, and the carpet was stained and needed a good vacuuming as there was dirt and pieces of dried mud. The welcome sheets were very cleverly written (by Misty we found out) and were a nice bonus. The beds were a bit stiff, and not all that comfortable, but they were made, and there were plenty of fresh fluffy towels for us to use. We did move the couch in the room closer to the fireplace (I guess this is unheard of by the owner from their reply, I mean who'd think people could want to sit and be comfortable in front of the fire), as we bought some duraflame logs to use in the fire (we were given 1 (not two as the owner has assumed as they always "can't find" any (depends who you ask, Scott said they had none but then when the lady who cleans the rooms heard we wanted one she was somehow able to make one appear out of thin air*), and when we did move the couch we found they do not clean behind/under it, as we found someone's vape pen, and a hair pick. The owner's reply says it is "too difficult" to move the couch and clean in it after every guest's stay, which I find disturbing. This means that any dandruff, trash, or fluids they leave behind are just sitting there on the couch waiting for the next guess. Gross. The room had a small kitchenette, with a double hotplate to use as a stove. The provided dishes were all mostly cleaned spotless, and they had all the basic necessities if you were to cook. However, the faucet of the sink broke off once during use, and caused quite the mess. We were able to fix it and clean the water up and it was fine afterwards, it just needed to be screwed down properly. The grounds are wonderful, and they have many hanging potted flowers, and hanging hummingbird feeders, so there are always a TON of hummingbirds flying to and from. They also have a pond that you can fish from, so long as it is only catch and release. The bad: Our heater went out once each night we stayed, sometime late and night, so we always woke up freezing cold. It was raining the entire time we stayed, so the temperatures dropped to the 40s at night. When we tried to call the office to get the heater fixed when we woke up, we found they don't have the office or phones staffed 24/7, and had to call the phone number provided to us about a million and a half times before a sleepy voice answered to help us out. *Edit: We're so sorry it was a big deal for the owner to have to wake up and get in the shower to come fix the heater that was supposed to have been working properly in the first place so we had a warm room to come back to when we were finished with work. Edit: Changed to 1/5 stars due to owner's response. They basically called us liars. Not the way to approach customer service. Instead of getting defensive maybe try to apologize for the issues we had, and ensure it doesn't happen to customers in the future. And yes, we did call them over and over again starting at 6am, as that is when we had to wake up and shower because we had to be at work by 7am, and our room was in the high 40s. Who'd have thought that when you get out of the shower you'd like to be warm, apparently a crazy concept for the lodge. I've also attached a screenshot of their "summer weather" during our stay. I'm sure most people won't find a 46 degree low anywhere near "tropic." Now when I come back to Bailey for business we will never return to the lodge. Good riddance.

I purchased the Wellness Day Pass + Pool Access as a birthday gift for my mom for this hotel, and…read moreit ended up being such a wonderful experience for her. Even though the hotel is in her own city, she had never visited before, so she loved getting to discover a beautiful pool in her own community with stunning views. The timing was especially perfect because they were offering a water aerobics class that day, which is something she already loves, and she had a great time participating. What impressed me most was the level of care she received from the staff. Since I wasn't going with her, I was a little nervous about sending her somewhere unfamiliar and hoping she would know where to go and what was available. That worry was completely unnecessary. She said she was warmly greeted, helped when she arrived, and checked on throughout the day without it ever feeling excessive. She felt genuinely welcomed and taken care of. She also tried one of the wellness amenities, including the leg massager, which she loved, and had a really great lunch while she was there. She called me almost immediately after getting home just to tell me how much she enjoyed the entire experience, especially the pool and aqua class. As the person who bought this as a gift, I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. It gave her a relaxing, fun birthday experience and introduced her to a place in her own city that she now loves. I look forward to surprising her with a stayaction here.

There are a lot of hotel amenities and fun lawn games out on the back patio area. The price was steep for what we got, but if you can afford this hotel, I would say overall it's worth it. Our room was clean and spacious with super large windows. We were there for Mother's Day weekend and ate brunch the morning of. They had quite a variety, but it wasn't anything spectacular. Food was still a bit cold. Cheeses, meats, fruits still looked like it had been sitting out a bit, and flavors were lacking. They had a prime rib station with horseradish sauce and au jus. Unfortunately, the au jus was a very thick gloopy gravy--borderline a solid. The price tag for brunch was super expensive, and definitely not worth it. At one point my coat had fallen while we were packing up the car. It had my gloves and wallet in the pockets. Luckily, the housekeeping staff had turned it in with everything in tact and held at the front counter for us. That was a great bit of service.

My wife and I are in our late 50's and the youngest kid is 19 yrs old. Even the most apprehensive rider was able to quickly learn and excel in riding. We took turns using the different bikes, ATVs and Side x Sides. Tyler worked with our party of 7 and changed the off-road vehicles... we kept changing our minds of who wanted ATVs or Side x Sides or dirt bikes. Thank you Tyler for being so flexible and delivering top-notch equipment and making everything so easy. The trails he put us on were awesome! There were areas we could really open up and floor it and there were areas that required skill and patience. We did a full day and still could have stayed out until dark! When we come back, we are going to Rocky Mountain Outdoor Rentals!
