Scarlet Ranch

Scarlet Ranch describes itself as “a couples focused lifestyle club”, a private membership organization hosting events at Squirrel Creek Lodge in Littleton, Colorado. It opens Wednesday through Saturday evenings and Sunday daytime, and its About page says it has produced events for over 20 years. The club lists three full service BYOB bars, the Oreads restaurant, indoor and outdoor dance stages, pool and shuffleboard tables, private and semi-private areas, and a locker room and coat check. Outside are rentable cabanas with daybeds and TVs and a tipi with a fire pit. Regular events include Wine and Dine Wednesday, Ladies Night every Thursday and Sunday brunch, plus over 100 themed events a year. Entry is for members aged 21 or over with a valid ID and a signed membership agreement. Newcomers buy a membership at the door or online, attend first on a guest membership, and then face a membership committee review. Single men are admitted on a limited basis and never in groups. Guests bring their own alcohol, leave it with the front-desk receptionist, and the club provides mixers. It asks members to “dress to impress”, with no cut-offs, sneakers, t-shirts, caps or work boots, and bans drugs, weapons, prostitution and cameras, with violations causing immediate removal.
