The High Lonesome Ranch

Thirty years of ranching heritage converge in De Beque at The High Lonesome Ranch, where 300 square miles of Colorado mountain landscape support both premium grass-finished beef production and guest lodging. General Manager Travis, holding degrees in Landscape Architecture and Range Ecology from Arizona State and Colorado State Universities, oversees operations with a focus on sustainable pasture management. Ranch Services Manager Ace, a Texas native with a Wilderness Horsemanship degree from Hocking College, ensures hospitality standards meet the rugged demands of the property. The ranch’s beef, raised on grass without grain finishing, appears at select regional retailers and farmers markets, reflecting the same regenerative practices applied to the land. Guests staying on-site benefit from 24-hour front desk service, free Wi-Fi, and ample parking within this wildlife-rich habitat. The team prioritizes ecological health alongside guest comfort, maintaining trails and protecting local species while offering a quiet retreat in the Rocky Mountains.
