Planning a Group Vacation or Just Need a Breath of Fresh Air? Check out Colorado

April 13th, 2010 by Ashley

Planning a group vacation can become overwhelming when you have so many different interests to accommodate.  The key to planning a successful group vacation is to pick a destination that offers a variety of activities.  What better place than Colorado to fit the interests of all travelers.  Colorado is famous for its outdoor activities year round.  However, for those of you traveling during the summer and not interested in long hikes in the Rocky Mountains or wild rafting rides down the San Juan River, there are many other ways to enjoy Colorado. Drive the winding roads through the great valleys and mountains, relax on the side of a river, or spend a day or two soaking in the natural hot springs.

Let The Society help you find the perfect accommodation for your next group vacation and be sure to research each destination as they all come with their own unique offer.

Pagosa Springs: Treat your body to a hot mineral bath in the natural springs of Pagosa after a days adventure with the grand children down the San Juan River.

Stay at the Keyak Grande: An exclusive retreat hidden away in the San Juan Mountains expanding over 4,000 acres of terrain and facility, offering endless outdoor adventure options.  Perfect for hosting any large event, this exclusive retreat accommodates up to 20 people.


South Fork:  Take a break from your business conference and venture out into Rio Grande National Park. Brace yourself on an ATV as you climb mountain roads, play a round of golf with a colleague, or sit back and relax by taking in the spectacular scenery.


Check out the Rio Grande Club for your next business conference trip or family reunion.  Located on the Rio Grande River and on the golf course, the Rio Grande Club is a truly luxurious getaway.  Depending on your needs, the Rio Grande Club offers 2, 3, 4, and 5 bedroom rentals with access to numerous club amenities such as golf, fishing, pool, and other fitness activities.


Estes Park:  There is not a more perfect place for a family reunion.  Located in a valley surrounded by beautiful mountain landscapes, Estes Park offers a mild climate ideal for participating in the endless outdoor activities the area offers.


Wonderful for families or those yearning to getaway for an outdoor adventure, Lost Antler Ranch stands lakefront in a gated community located on 165 acres of land surrounded by national forest in Estes Park.  Enjoy seclusion for a couple days lazing around your private lake and having easy access to trails such as Bridal Veil Fall and West Creek Fall in Rocky Mountain National Park. Lost Antler Ranch offers 11 bedrooms to accommodate large groups.

Keyah Grande – The Gem of Southwestern Colorado

October 5th, 2009 by Joseph

If you have not heard of the San Juan Mountains of Colorado we forgive you. For many of us, it’s a secret destination we do not necessarily wish to share with outsiders. This area of Colorado is truly unspoiled. No major Interstate highways bisecting the spectacular vistas, just two-lane blacktop. Snow capped peaks and hillsides retain their trees and foliage, not a McMansion in site. On the valley floor, ranches dominate the landscape to the horizon.

Within this enchanted area of Colorado we are proud to offer Keyah Grande, an exclusive retreat and the perfect rental compound for weddings, family reunions, corporate retreats, family getaways, or romantic escapes all nestled in the heart of Colorado’s San Juan Mountains.

Keyah Grande encompasses more than 4,000 acres of superb terrain and facilities for an enviable array of seasonal outdoor activities including trap and sporting clay courses, elk hunting, horseback riding, snowmobiling, ATV trails and fishing. A backdrop of natural beauty surrounds the luxuriously intimate Guest House, yet the interior elegance is strictly man-made. From the 300 year old hand-carved Spanish doors to the unmistakable 21st century Dale Chihuly “End of Day” glass sculpture, it is immediately clear that this place is one-of-a-kind and not to be missed.

The ‘private home’ ambiance of the Guest House invites visitors to relax and enjoy. Unwind on the magnificent flying deck with a glass of vintage bubbly or share steaming hot chocolate around the African-inspired fire pit. Gathering areas include the Lounge, with pool and game tables, wide-screen plasma TV, and video games; a Great Room with an oversized fireplace and baby grand piano; two exquisitely appointed dining areas for formal or intimate seating; a high-tech, low-key conference room; and a simply elegant spa that offers restorative treatments inspired by the waters, forests, and mountains that surround the property.

Within the Guest House there are eight (8) individually designed, oversized suites that ensure an extraordinary personalized experience. The liberal use of art and antiques from diverse international regions, and an eclectic décor fuse with modern amenities to create a refreshingly exuberant atmosphere. Subtle golden hues accent the South Pacific Suite while the America Suite is boldly red, white and blue. Each room is expanded by panoramic views and creature comforts such as whirlpool tub, satellite TV and radio, and WiFi service.
