Rawah Guest Ranch

The Rawah ranch, pronounced (RAY-wah), is named after a word used by the Ute Indians, which means “abundance”. The land is filled with trees, wildlife and is indeed abundant in life.

Room and board at the guest ranch

Adventure meets luxury with the lodging at the Rawah Ranch. Each of their nine historic cabins are beautifully decorated. Some of the cabins have even been built long before the ranch was established. Names of some of the cabins are also unchanged and were given to them as far back as the 1950s.

Cabins vary in number of beds and amenities. Some are great for the family and some better suited for an intimate honeymoon. Choose between the Ranch House East, Ranch House West, East Flying Horse, West Flying Horse, Cowboys, Indians, Old Bunkhouse, Mackward and Shanty.
