Piney River Ranch Closing This Fall

Piney River Ranch, the beloved mountain retreat near Vail, is closing its doors for good after this summer — a bittersweet farewell for locals and visitors who’ve cherished its weddings, camping, fishing, and legendary BBQs. After 15 years under owner Monique Busold, the ranch can’t renew its lease with Denver Water, ending operations by September 26, 2026. This iconic spot, tucked 13 miles north of Vail, has been a community staple since 2012 — and its shuttering marks the end of an era for outdoor lovers and Vail’s vibrant seasonal scene.
