A Peaceful Family Retreat Creating Unforgettable Memories 

Daniel was a brave and inspiring young man battling cancer, and we were honored to help make his heartfelt wish come true—to spend meaningful, quality time with his family at War Horse Ranch & Saloon.

 

Due to Daniel’s oxygen needs, a high-altitude mountain retreat wasn’t an option. Instead, we found the perfect escape: War Horse Ranch & Saloon in Longmont, CO. This beautiful modern farmhouse offers luxurious comfort, stunning views, and the peacefulness of the countryside, all just minutes from Lyons, Boulder, and Longmont. It was the ideal setting for Daniel, his mom, his twin brother, his two older sisters, and their partners to relax and reconnect.

 

Once we secured the ranch and arranged flights for Daniel’s sister and her partner from Texas, we focused on creating a five-star experience for the entire family. We stocked the fridge with their favorite foods, prepared thoughtful gift baskets, and even sent a cleaning crew to their home so they could fully relax. To help capture every special moment, we hired a professional photographer to document their time together. Our goal was simple: allow Daniel and his family to focus solely on loving each other and making beautiful memories.

 

The week at the ranch was filled with joy. Free from hospital walls, Daniel experienced a renewed sense of energy. He spent his days sharing meals, playing games, laughing, and soaking in the peaceful surroundings with his loved ones.

 

We are deeply honored to have been part of Daniel’s journey. Though he sadly passed away two weeks later, we hope the memories and photos from his time at War Horse Ranch & Saloon continue to bring comfort and joy to his family.
