4 reviews for Cherokee Ranch & Castle
This just may be the best view in the Front Range. We didn't get a view of the elk herd that shares the ranch. We were told by the castle guide that there are some 400+ head of elk there. The guides were very knowledgeable about the history, art, and the flora of the ranch.
We had a corporate meeting there today and it was a great site for the event. Kudos to the boss for picking it.

REALLY COOL place! The history is great. I worked a wedding there and it was so cool. The garage floor is vintage 1920's and everything has been preserved in the house. It is a VERY far drive and the driveway is VERY long so if you go to a wedding there (or sip on your flask during high tea) be sure to be VERY sober on the drive down.
It really is a must visit for Coloradans. Be sure to get the run down on the history of the place. It is a gorgeous location for a wedding (if you are at about 50 guests or under) but be sure to be nice to the catering staff because it is a really hard job to work (think 10 - 20 tables... carrying them down a hill and 50 -60 chairs... then carrying all the food down the hill then back up... then tables and chairs back up... you get the idea. Great workout)!!
Take tea or just a tour, check it out!

Colorado has a castle? Who knew?
It's not your typical castle by any means, but still very castle like. It holds special events. I attended a wedding there, and it was unbelievably gorgeous. During the cocktail hour they gave tours, and the place has a lot of neat history. They'll be preserving the acres for years to come, which is neat because the place is definitely a sanctuary for wildlife. If you're at all into cultural events, the orchestra plays there sometimes.
Also, get prepared that the driveway is two miles long. I almost hit a fox on the way out.

The Cherokee Ranch offers high tea during special occasions, like Christmas. Over the holidays, the ladies and I headed to Sedalia for high tea. The tea itself was good but buffet style; after piling cucumber sandwiches and scones on plates, the limited number of guests sat around in the Castle's great room and the Mother-in-law's sitting room. After a quick nosh, you are gathered together for a tour of the Castle. It is a great tour and I particularly liked it as Tweet Kimball has been a heroine of mine for years. She brought the first Santa Gertrudis cattle to Colorado, was an accomplished equestrian, and divorced really well (the Castle was part of her settlement if she stayed on this side of the Mississippi). You also find out that Tweet is buried on the property and had died at the age of 84 after an ATV flipped over on her while she was working cattle; you have got to admire that woman. Definitely worth the trip.
