A Steamboat Favorite for Over 50 Years

The historic Ore House barn lit up on a winter night

Our Story

From homestead barn to western table


The history of the barn dates back to 1889, when James Lewis homesteaded 280 acres. Owners over the years have included State Senator Jerry McWilliams, Russian Count Nicholas Lakuska, and the Nefzger Cattle Ranch Company.

The barn was converted into a restaurant and opened in February of 1971. Some of the memorabilia in the restaurant came from the original operating cattle ranch — the Pine Grove Ranch cattle brand is a "b quarter circle."

We invite you to relax and enjoy a true western dining experience, including some of the finest food served in the Yampa Valley.
