Ghost Ranch Lodging


A retreat center on 21,000 acres at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Ghost Ranch is a spectacular spot with basic lodging – you're here for the serenity, not comfort. Meals are cafeteria-style, though breakfast is included. No phones or TVs in the rooms; wi-fi in the visitor center only. Make reservations by phone.
