4 Eagle Ranch

dinner and the sleigh ride. The property is away from the city lights. A nice get away. The sleigh ride is about 15 minutes. You can go as many times as you want. The horses are beautiful. There wasn’t a whole lot of snow but to no fault of the management (it’s suppose to snow again soon) Everyone is super nice. The food is buffet style with a pretty sweet spread. There was pork ribs, chicken, brisket, steak, Mac n cheese, salad, baked potatoes plus more. You won’t leave hungry. There was live entertainment and a bar. Drinks were $ 4. After dinner there’s a fire outside with smore setup. Everything was very organized. They were even able to set up transportation from my condo. Price wise it’s a bit steep. But it’s a unique experience. And it’s vail what else can k expect. Plus they are a not for profit business so I don’t mind as much

This place was phenomenal. The hospitality of everyone working here and the accompanying nature of everyone working here made this the best experience. We not only received great service the night of but for months in advance trying to coordinate our trip with their opening night. Lisa was in constant contact with us helping to arrange our sleigh ride experience. We absolutely loved everything about this from the steak chili to the full «cowboy» buffet, desserts, and 4 Eagle wines. Everyone should stop what they are doing right now and make a reservation and hope and pray that they have Tink running their sleigh run. This place was a great find for our week in Vail during thanksgiving. It was a perfect opening day for the sleigh ride if you ask me.

We had a spectacular evening at the Ranch for a sleigh ride this Spring. The host and staff were gracious, the food exceptional and entertainment perfect. Our preschool boys were blown away by learning to lasso with a ‘real cowboy’ and enjoyed tire swings, wagon ride, dancing and smores under the stars. It was one of my favorite ‘Colorado Adventures’ and I would highly recommend this ranch to visitors and locals.

Did the hour ride. It was fine and JD was our guide. Very nice but we would have loved to have learned more about the ranch and the community. Staff super friendly. Vines at Vail is also there. Nice tasting pours and Patrick was super friendly. I bought 6 bottles and was still charged for two 5 tastings. He then said he had a box for me and not until after the fact was I told he was charging me $ 7.50 for it. Not used to paying for a box or tastings when we buy so much. They have a nice setup for outside and would be fun during the cooler months.

This was the most absolute ridiculous sleigh ride I have been on. They give you about a 10 – 15 minute ride which is about a quarter mile around the ranch. Then dinner is mediocre at best! Then to boot you have to listen to the general manager give a speech about religious crap that they are involved in. For the amount of money to pay for an buffet style dinner was totally unacceptable!

We visited the 4 Eagle Ranch for the family and Rodeo night in August. It is definitely a fun place for a family outing. The rodeo is small and enjoyable. They let the kids in the arena for to chase the calves for a few minutes which they loved. They have smores. Horseback rides for only $ 5 for kids over 7. The buffet is plentiful and open for 3 – 4 hours. Only issue is the food is not great. Steak and ribs just ok. The peach and blueberry cobbler dessert was very tasty. But, kind of expected in a buffet. And it is really more about the entire experience than just the food. So as a whole it was a really great evening. We’ll return next year.

We had a fantastic time with our 5 college age kids-​a couple had never been on a horse before! Went on the cattle drive — –it was sooooo worth the extra money! Lasted about 3.5 hours and we were all tired but thrilled at the end. A true «City Slickers» experience! Our kids can’t stop talking about it!

My wife and I visited the ranch for an industry event and had a grand time. The food was pretty good but our favorite part was having the old bull buffalo, Reject, charge the fence. Our friend grabbed his wife and used her as a shield — pretty darn funny in hind sight.
This place really puts on great western hospitality and I recommend visiting!

We visited this ranch yesterday and would not recommend it to anybody. They claim that they have a sleigh ride, but we ended up getting a 10-​minute tour of a muddy farm on a dirty horse wagom. This place is very dirty on the outside and in the middle of nowhere! Food was horrible and they offer very limited menu compared to the money they charged for it. They told us that they would have fresh chocolate cookies after dinner, however, it appeared that they had bought it from a nearby convenient store. They were hard as a rock. They don’t offer any drinks except some powder packets for apple cider in hot water. I can’t believe they charge $ 50 – 75 for a third-​class dinner. And there was hardly any entertainment for kids. The dinner ends at around 9pm, but the restaurant was mostly empty by 8pm as nobody really enjoyed what they have to offer.
Beaware of their misleading marketing tactics and stay away from 4 Eagle Ranch! We spent more than $ 200 for dinner that I wouldn’t pay more than $ 20 bucks!!!

We have attended numerous private and public events at 4Eagle and just love the place.

I’m really not a ranch kind of gal. But we spent some time here and I found the place truly remarkable. I’ll review from two perspectives — private event and public visit.
Private Event — I was lucky to attend a private dinner and evening on the ranch with about a dozen people. The proprietors of the ranch are very personable and the staff was friendly as well. We had a delicious Chuckwagon style dinner, that had everyone going back for seconds.
Sitting out in the evening air with a country/​americana performer playing everything from Van Morrison to Jimmy Buffet to Willie Nelson was so perfect it almost had to be out of a movie — maybe something with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere.
The ranch is large, and includes a restored homestead and the standard farm animals. Although really, the animals are far beyond standard — the buffalo loves to eat from your hand and the goats climb the fence to try to get a lick of whatever is in your hand.
Public Visit
The next day, we went back to the ranch, which is when they are open to the public and serving lunch. There was a cattle ride taking place, others were enjoying lunch and some were on a hay ride. We didn’t have time for lunch, but the others said it was quite tasty and served with a friendly family attitude.
Finally, we took a tour of the glamour camping site on the other side of the ranch. It’s a permanent tent with the cleanest outhouse I’ve ever seen. A hammock swings by a stream and adirondack chairs circle the fire pit. We will definitely be heading back to camp there for a weekend.
I have to say, this place is magical. And maybe I like the ranch life after all!
