About The Ponderosa

Ponderosa is 650-acres of year-round retreat and relaxation.

Situated just off of I-25, we’re right between Denver and Colorado Springs and the perfect spot for individuals and groups to retreat.

Nestled in the pine-covered foothills of the Rockies, we serve up some of the best food you’ll find in a casual destination – all created in Colorado style with a slight southern accent.

Upon arrival, you’ll need to switch gears to comfortable and prepare yourself for a place where you can hear yourself think.

So, whether you’re making a fast retreat or a strategically planned function, visit Ponderosa.

It’s everything you’ll need to make a great getaway.

Meals

Friday dinner and Saturday breakfast and lunch are included in the price of the 2-day retreat. Saturday dinner and Sunday breakfast are included in the price of the 3-day retreat.

The Ponderosa can accommodate gluten free, dairy free, and vegetarian. Please let us know of your dietary preferences at the time you register for the retreat.

Everyone will have his/her own bed which will be a queen or a twin. Some of the twins will be a bottom bunk. No one will need to use a top bunk. Each of the private rooms has its own bathroom, and bedding and linens will be provided.

Dorm Lodging: Our group will also have the Tumbleweed Lodge. The Tumbleweed has two carpeted bedrooms that can accommodate 14 people with 7 bunks, 7 people per room. No one will need to use a top bunk. Each bedroom includes a bathroom with one shower, two toilets and two sinks. For issues of privacy, only women will be able to stay in the Tumbleweed. If staying in the Tumbleweed, you will need to bring your own bedding and linens.

If you have a preference on with whom you would like to room, please let us know at the time you register for the retreat.
