Where every stay becomes a story.
OURAY
CO
Once a historic mining district, now thoughtfully reimagined, the ranch blends raw mountain beauty with warm, attentive hospitality. Here, days are spent wandering ridgelines and alpine meadows, evenings are shared around long tables and on starlit patios, and every moment feels a little bit removed from the rest of the world.
Set above the “Switzerland of America,” with sweeping 360° views of the San Juans, Gold Mountain Ranch is a place where history runs beneath your feet and your time here becomes part of the 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.

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.
