Wild Horse Inn - Fraser, Colorado

Kiersten Betterton

My mom and I stayed at the Wild Horse Inn for a girls' weekend away and it was absolutely perfect. I have two little kids and the quiet peacefulness of this place was exactly what I needed. The breakfast was so good, and they packed us a to-go breakfast for the day we left because we had to get going early. We also got the hiking package and it was great! We hiked up to Columbine Lake and were so glad for the use of the trekking poles. The sandwiches were so yummy and the energy bars, oranges, and cookies were a fun addition to the backpack lunch. Then the charcuterie board and wine when we got back was the perfect way to recuperate after our hike. We had so much fun, and we're hoping to make this an annual girls' trip!

Wild Horse Inn was the perfect choice for a getaway from city living. As opposed to a hotel in the crowded ski areas, there is a wonderful feeling of peace and quiet amid the pines. There are stunning views from the main lodge deck. The location is excellent for downhill skiing at Winter Park and ideal for Cross Country skiing as Devil’s Thumb Ranch is very close and YMCA Snow Mountain Ranch is just down the road. We spent 2 nights in the Mariposa Cabin It is made of logs and has great western ambiance. The cabin was clean, nicely decorated and comfortable. We loved sitting by the fireplace. The owners Chris and John were very friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the food and also the wine that is offered in the evening. (Small Note: We chose the cabin because my husband is on a very restricted diet and we brought his food with us. The kitchenette does have a microwave and a very small refrigerator but no stove. I failed to notice this in the description. This was not a problem for us at all as our food was meant to be microwaved and we were only staying 2 nights.) We look forward to staying here again.

Beautiful, welcoming cabin in the woods. Great views of the Rocky mountains. Walls are a bit thin, but not bad at all! Just come prepared if you're a light sleeper just in case.
My husband and I visited with our baby boy for the Thanksgiving holiday and had a fabulous time with the other guests and with Donna, Guest Services and chef extraordinaire! We snow-shoed right out the back door, soaked in the hot tub, ate delicious breakfasts and a Thanksgiving feast, and slept REALLY well because the sheets were so soft and the bed was comfortable.
We had all the comforts! Lydia was great, too. We really appreciated the hospitality and will hopefully be back again.

My friend booked us a one night stay at Wild Horse Inn. The Inn is located in a beautiful area with breathtaking views! We live in Lakewood so it only takes about an hour to get here but you still feel very far from the city. The area is secluded, quiet and we saw butterflies, hummingbirds, sparrows and bluebirds! The receptionist was one of the most friendly and helpful individuals I’ve ever met. She showed us around and told us there was complimentary tea, coffee, hot cocoa and a bottomless cookie jar! The grounds are well maintained and the rooms are rustic but modern and cozy. Our room had a balcony and a jet bathtub which I took full advantage of. They have a hot tub and places to lounge and relax throughout the property. It very much feel like a home away from home. It was unbelievably quiet and in the morning we had a delicious, homemade, fresh breakfast. Lastly, there is great hiking and lots to do in town! Would definitely recommend! We are planning annual trips now and I’d love to bring my boyfriend as this place is very romantic! Thanks again for everything!!!

We spent 3 nights and 4 days at the Inn and enjoyed everything! The location was rural and beautiful. The accommodations were immaculate, comfortable and well thought out. Breakfast was fresh, hot and delicious. John, the proprietor, was welcoming, friendly and professional. This was our first getaway since the start of Covid and the Inn and surrounding area and activities was just what we needed!

Positives: We spent a weekend in one of their cabins and were pleasantly surprised that the cabin was actually nicer than expected (based upon the online photos). Very clean and cozy. Lots of open walking space around the lodge/cabins. The business was great working with us when we had to reschedule and were overall very friendly during our visit.|Negatives: The bed was a bit lacking (slumped in the center and a bit lumpy everywhere else). The faucets/fixtures/outlets were pretty worn and could use some sprucing up/replacement/TLC.

We really enjoyed our stay celebrating an anniversary and relaxing after a work event. The hosts were very nice and prepared a delicious breakfast every morning. The mountain sunrise is perfect for photography enthusiasts. It snowed during our October visit which gave us early Christmas vibes. Highly recommend to those wanting a cozy cabin experience.

Overall a beautiful place with a few areas with room for improvement. Please note that any complaints I list below are minor and are not individually impactful for any potential future return visits. The two that I would suggest improving most are to improve the beds / pillows and better breakfast set-up for people staying in the cabins.

Pros:
- GORGEOUS surrounding landscape
- Many wintry activities nearby if you're looking to get out and about during a stay for the snow-season
- Cabins are very cozy and well above average on their decor
- Cabins are remarkably warm with a wonderful (and effective) fireplace
- Hostess was kindly, welcoming, and pleasant
- Relaxing "off-grid" and relatively secluded location
- Free wine, coffee, tea, and bottomless cookies!!!

Cons:
- Romantic Package for $100 included a dozen roses that, though large, barely lasted 2 days, a VERY small selection of chocolates which could not have cost $5, a "breakfast in bed" which we had to go get and was unimpressive, and a decent (but probably over-priced) bottle of champagne.
- Romantic Package was requested to be a surprise, was charged to separate credit card, and given a separate email for confirmation. Receptionist sent the bill and confirmation to wrong email (nearly spoiling the surprise).
- Breakfast left a bit to be desired and was far below what was expected for the cost of the venue.
- Bed was a bit saggy and not terribly comfortable.
- Pillows had ZERO support and made sleeping difficult (neck cricks)
- Jacuzzi was billed as being big enough for 2. It is EXPLICITLY for one person, 2 people can BARELY fit, and only one person can sit where the bubbles are.
- Not enough hot water to fill Jacuzzi even after 20 minutes.
- Kitchenette in cabin lacked heating elements other than coffee pot, electric kettle, and microwave (a minor complaint, but worth mentioning as the site does not state what is in the kitchenette that we saw).
