  What a luxurious yet comfortable getaway lodge! Close enough in proximity to enjoy all of the amenities but private enough for relaxation mixed with family fun. Something for everyone! Would highly recommend it!!!

  Fantastic place!

  This place is gorgeous and very well maintained. We had a small wedding here and it was perfect. Loved the movie theater room and the jacuzzi tubs. Wished there had been a group hot tub, though. But all in all, it was great.

  Thank you for the nice review of our Ruby Ranch home, we are glad you enjoyed your stay and that the wedding was a success. We wish the home had a hot tub too! That would make it perfect! Hopefully you were able to enjoy one of the many jetted tubs in the home as a substitute! Thank you again for staying with Key to the Rockies!

  Fabulous home with spectacular views

  Left on 01/10/2013 for a stay in December 2012
  
  

  Awesome home for large family or group. Well set up open layout of kitchen and family room makes this home wonderful for staying together while cooking for the herd. Large bedrooms throughout the house separated for privacy if needed. Wonderful theater room that was super easy to use along side a downstairs bar, pooltable area, and poker table area. At the other end of the house is a completely seperate workout /pingpong room. Great for the ones that may want to stay up later and make a little noise.
  This house also sits on 3 acres overlooking the valley below. Spectacular views.

  Ruby Ranch House

  Left on 09/15/2012 for a stay in September 2012
  
  

  This was our second year staying at Ruby Ranch. We have our family reunion there, usually with 14-16 people. We had family come in from Illinois, New Mexico, Arizona, Missouri and Colorado. Its a beautiful home and we always have lots of fun and good memories. We all love the house and have rented it again for 2013. The service we receive with Key To The Rockies was great. The location is really ideal, not to long a drive to get to Breckinridge or Silerthorne shopping. Some went bike riding and some went shopping. Next year we are going to try to get a cattle roundup going with some of the family. Some might try fly fishing next year also. So, can't wait for 2013 reunion!!

  Great way to watch NFL Playoffs

  Left on 09/15/2012 for a stay in January 2012
  
  

  Stayed there last winter during playoff week. We had a blast. The media room (8'wide screen) was perfect for all the sporting events. House was great we had a wonderful time.Centrally located to all the ski resorts. You can be at five different resorts within 20 minutes of the house. We had three families in the house with plenty of room to spare. Would definitely rent again if we were in the area. We've gone out west ten yrs in row and this was certainly one of the nicest places we rented.

  We stayed at Ruby Ranch with family during our son's wedding at Keystone Timberridge. The house was ideal for our social times and we even had some get togethers with Bride's family. Used the location for a Rehearsal Dinner and had over 50 guests. It was perfect! All amenities were first class.

  Wonderful Layout for Multiple Families

  Left on 03/30/2011 for a stay in March 2011
  
  

  We visited Spring Break 2011. There were 4 families with children ranging in ages from 8-15 years old. Each adult couple had their own private room with attached private bathroom. We had a "girls bunk room" & brought an air mattress for the "boys room". The two rooms that the children stayed in also had their own private bathrooms too. There is also a small study off of the great room that you could set up an air-mattress if you needed to accommodate child/ teenager. When you walk in the front door into the the great room you are welcomed with a 2-sided stone fireplace and windows galore that take in the beautiful scenery. This home has something for everyone. Kids game room with ping-pong table, couch & t.v. A small workout area is to the side of that with nice equipment. On the bottom level is a Media Room with 6 recliners. Outside of the media room is a nice size bar including a microwave. Pool table & gaming (poker table) on the other side of fireplace.
  The only down side to the home in my opinion is 3 of the 6 bedrooms had bathtubs instead of showers, which made it harder for the men, than the women. The master bedroom, girls bunk room, & room with sleeper sofa are the rooms with showers. With that being said the bathtubs in the other rooms were jacuzzi style and very nice. The location of the house is in a upscale private gated community. The Outlet stores (Coach, Nike, etc.) , Target, places to shop & eat are within 10 - 15 minutes driving distance. Approximately 20 minutes to Loveland Ski ( the best kept secret) & 20 minutes to Keystone. This home easily accommodates large groups & multi generations. The kitchen has a 4 top table and 3 bar stools, and around the corner is the dining area which I believe seats 8 maybe 10. Off the 3 car garage is a huge mud room with built-in cubbies & hooks.
  We definitely recommend and would stay there again too.
  The management company Key to the Rockies were easy and pleasant to work with.

  Exquisite home, perfectly for family getaway

  Left on 01/21/2011 for a stay in December 2010
  
  

  5 families stayed together for the New Years Holiday 2010. The service from Key to the Rockies was impeccable. They fedex'd all of the keys, garage door openers, etc., allowing us to drive straight to the home. The home itself is grandiose, with large rooms, ample space for everyone, and luxurious appointments. The home theater and game room were particularly impressive, along with the mountain views. Do not be concerned about the location; while not next to any ski resorts, all of the resorts are within an easy 15 minute drive. The kitchen, while not oversized, served us well in feeding 10 adults and 10 kids. The garage is a large 3 car garage that is heated, a real bonus in cold weather.
  We are already planning 2 more trips to the home. We highly recommend the home and the service from key to the rockies.
