Cherokee Ranch And Castle Is A Secluded Colorado Restaurant That Be Straight Out Of A Storybook

Located in Sedalia is that of the historic Cherokee Ranch & Castle; an "architectural masterpiece echoing 1450’s Scotland" that "serves as a vibrant venue for extraordinary entertainment, education and enjoyment."
Consisting of 3,400 acres, Cherokee Ranch & Castle used to belong to two different homesteads, owned by the Flower and Blunt families. In 1924, the Flower homestead was sold to the Johnson family, who would go on to build the incredible castle seen today.
Soon after, the Johnsons and Blunts sold their land (and castle) to Tweet Kimball in 1954, who -- some 40 years later -- worked with Douglas County to protect the land, and in turn founded the Cherokee Ranch & Castle Foundation.
While the Cherokee Ranch & Castle does not offer regular restaurant hours, they do host a number of different teas, brunches, and lunches each month, so be sure to see their website for a full list of upcoming events.
