Latigo proudly offers all-inclusive rates that make it easy to plan your next vacation. The lodging, food, and activities are all in there, whether you want to spend every possible moment on horseback, swim in the heated pool, learn to rick climb, or hike the pristine paths around the ranch. The only extra costs you have to worry about are purchases from the gift shop or the wine and beer list.
This is a family business run by a family. Latigo Ranch is a place for families because the owners and staff encourage togetherness, fun, and a wholesome atmosphere. It will be your best vacation ever. Summer or winter you become part of the Latigo family from the moment you arrive. Kids are provided with their own fishing rods the day they arrive, and the kitchen will cook a fish if they’re lucky at the pond. The program for the kids, which can include a camp-out, archery, cowboy skills, and 3-5-year-old care, ensure that they’re never bored, make new friends, and have the time and space to be a family, too.
There is no better place to find a clear head and a right perspective than gazing out across mountain ranges to the Continental Divide—stretching edge to edge of a panoramic view sixty miles from the front porch of the Historic Log Lodge. If you and your team want to get away and get productive, Latigo is the place for you. You’ll be able to spend time with your colleagues away from the office while getting into an adventure you’ll all enjoy—whether it’s the food, horseback riding, hiking, fishing, or sitting on the porch sipping a locally crafted brew. This is the company retreat that will go down in legend.
The difficulty in planning a family reunion is finding something for everyone to enjoy; Latigo has it all and more in an unforgettable location with spectacular food and the best activities the West has to offer.

Please consider booking well in advance to make sure there is room for your entire party.
