Set on the edge of Piney Lake, and nestled at the foot of the majestic Gore Range, Piney River Ranch is a private, forty-acre Rocky Mountain retreat, long known as a favorite wedding and day-trip destination. We are located just twelve miles north of Vail Village, surrounded by thousands of acres of backcountry wilderness within the White River National Forest.
Piney River Ranch is not only a picture perfect Colorado wedding and event venue. We have a variety of activities and summer fun for the entire family. From fly-fishing, hiking, canoeing, horseback riding, stand-up paddle boarding, waterfalls, yoga, or simply relaxing by the fire pit, Piney has something for everyone. We also offer lodging for our overnight guests, and an on-site restaurant that boasts the best smoked BBQ around.
