OUR VENUE
Nestled in the scenic beauty of Guanella Pass, 3 Mile Creek House offers the ultimate blend of accessibility and adventure. Located just one hour from Denver, the ranch has countless outdoor activities and serene mountain views to elevate your stay.
Discover the timeless elegance of the 3 Mile creek House, an extraordinary showplace steeped in history and charm. Originally built in the late 1920s and early 1930s as a mountain retreat for the daughter of Adolph Coors, this home showcases exquisite craftsmanship, with decorative beams hand-carved by talented artisans from Taos. Its Spanish-Indian decor is both unique and unforgettable, offering guests a one-of-a-kind experience.
Situated four miles off Highway 285 in Grant and six miles from the summit of Guanella Pass, 3 Mile Creek house is perfectly positioned for exploring the best of Colorado.
