Ghost Ranch Online Reservations for Overnight Lodging & January Term Workshops

Your Invitation to Spend Some Fall and Winter Days at Ghost Ranch

Over the last few weeks, we've had days of autumn weather mixed with glimpses of wintery, snowy days—a true feast for the senses. The colors are richer and the shadows longer, making for inspirational vistas around every corner with unique light shows during every part of the day. We have just added the capacity to book lodging online. We invite you to give yourself the gift of time and beauty. Create your own Ghost Ranch adventure or retreat! Two-night minimum stays are $330 ($165 per night), including breakfast served in our Dining Hall. On the booking page adjust the number in your party to ensure breakfast is ready for any adults or children sharing your room, $10 per person beyond the first two in your room. Fresh breakfast along with piping hot coffee is served from 7:30 to 8:30 am to get you ready for the day - hiking trails, two museums, a labyrinth, our library... Read, write, paint or just enjoy the views. Add optional tours, trail rides, and sound healing sessions. Note: Ghost Ranch is closed for the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday, November 24 and 25; and seasonal closure from December 24 to January 2.
