Scarlet Ranch Review: Mile-High Mischief in Denver
Scarlet Ranch redefines a swinger club with high-class vibes, stunning lodge-style decor, and a friendly, well-dressed crowd. Find out why it’s our favorite swinger club in the U.S. Social, sexy, and totally unforgettable!
By: Kat Swings
Where most swinger clubs in the U.S. are lackluster—some downright pitiful—Denver’s Scarlet Ranch completely reimagines what a lifestyle club can be. This is no dive bar with a backroom. Scarlet Ranch is high-class and unapologetically upscale, with an eye for detail that transforms the experience. From carefully curated erotica (“porn,” if we’re being blunt) to the whimsical addition of moose heads and rustic touches that channel a Swiss chalet vibe, every element feels thoughtfully placed to elevate the ambiance. It’s a perfect blend of elegance and adventure, creating a space that not only works but wows. Join Kat & Leo as they review Scarlet Ranch and tell-all in this can’t-miss episode of the Vanilla Swingers podcast.

Don’t be confused! Squirrel Creek Lodge = Scarlet Ranch
First Impressions – Rolling up to Scarlet Ranch feels like pulling into a fancy country club, but with a twist. The sprawling building, huge parking lot, and rustic split-rail fence with a sign reading “Squirrel Creek Lodge” scream bougie country charm. Fun fact: the Ranch is tied to an animal sanctuary, hence the name. But don’t be like us and second-guess yourself—Leo was convinced we were about to crash a fine dining soirée and nearly walked in clutching cheap champagne in a brown paper bag. Classy, right?
Mon Chalet Denver Review
Inside Tour – Once you step inside and realize, yes, this is the Ranch, the vibe is total lodge goals—think soaring ceilings, moose heads on the walls, and a split-log cabin feel that’s equal parts swanky and cozy. To your left is the registration desk, where newbies sign up for memberships, pay the evening fee, and get their event bracelets.
Past the desk are the coat check and main floor bathrooms, and then—bam!—you’re hit with the first of two bars in a massive, lodge-style room. It’s all about bougie social vibes here, with high-top tables, plenty of chairs, cozy leather couches, and even a shuffleboard table for mingling over drinks. Feeling competitive? Head through a side door to the billiard room, complete with two pool tables, and show off your “skills.” (Or just pretend—it’s all about the fun, right?)
“Pro-Tip – Ask for a tour from the ‘Guest Experience Manager’… Classy!”
Bar / DJ – Through the other door, you’ll find the second bar—a long stretch of bartop seating perfect for chatting and mingling—alongside a spacious dining area (more on that deliciousness in a minute). Beyond this lively setup lies a generously sized dance floor with a raised DJ booth where the beats are always on point. And yes, there’s a stage with a stripper pole, because what’s a proper swinger venue without one? It’s like a rule or something.
“This is where they label your booze for the night. (Yes, it’s BYOB—fancy doesn’t mean they’ve ditched swinger staples.)“
Dining – Scarlet Ranch doesn’t just serve vibes—it serves fine dining courtesy of its highly praised on-site steakhouse restaurant, Oreads. With a multi-starred chef running the kitchen, this isn’t your typical swingers’ snack spread. We’re talking full-on gourmet dishes like Prime Rib, Filet Mignon and Surf & Turf that would put some high-end restaurants to shame. Diners rave about the culinary excellence, and it’s easy to see why.
Prices at Oreads are nothing to sneeze at—filet mignon will set you back $50, and Surf & Turf comes in at $78. For us, we’d rather save that cash for a sexy night at the Mon Chalet (priorities, am I right?), but hey, to each their own! If you’re both a foodie and a swinger, this place will feel like 7th heaven—delicious decadence paired with your night of fun. There’s also a highly raved-about Sunday Brunch, served from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Playrooms – All the playrooms at Scarlet Ranch are downstairs, and they’re as classy as they are steamy. First stop? A dimly lit alcove under the stairs with a sex swing—fun, flirty, and oh-so-intriguing.
To the left, you’ll find the group play area with 4 queen beds arranged in a square. Risers define each space but usually limit the action to 4 couples max, a bit frustrating for such a big club (one of our few gripes!). Surrounding the beds are chairs, couches, two St. Andrew’s crosses, and (rumor has it) a Motor Bunny, plus dimly lit alcoves for intimate debauchery.
At the base of the stairs is the main foyer play area with six private alcoves behind curtains featuring queen mattresses, elegant stone walls, and luxe 1000-thread-count sheets. But on busy nights? Expect a crowd outside—some chatting, others waiting their turn. The only gripe? Not quite enough play space when the Ranch is packed.
Downstairs – Beyond the private alcoves, more couches double as overflow play spots or cozy flirting zones. Playroom attendants keep it classy, changing sheets and folding towels like pros. A glass-encased shower area offers steamy voyeuristic fun, while nearby lockers are hit-or-miss—most are long-term rentals, so expect to rely on the upstairs coat check (and its inevitable line). Note to the Ranch: take a cue from Amsterdam and add more lockers! Only our 2nd gripe.
Sexy Jenga & Erotica – Further on, you’ll find more couches and the iconic Sexy Jenga game, a total crowd-pleaser with flirty, naughty dares that break the ice and turn up the heat. The downstairs vibe is pulled together with TVs playing carefully curated black-and-white erotica (not “porn,” as the Guest Experience Manager so cheekily corrected us—touche!). It’s tasteful, sensual, and exactly the kind of upscale debauchery Scarlet Ranch is known for.
Outdoors – How could we forget the outdoors? Well, it was 24 degrees in December, so we didn’t see much except the giant teepee, but here’s the lowdown.
The 10 cabanas come with outdoor beds for play—just know an audience is likely unless you bring your own privacy sheet (rare but clever). The dance area doubles as the beer pong and foam party zone in summer, complete with outdoor TVs playing that signature classy erotica (not porn, Kat!). There’s also an outdoor bar open on sunny Sundays and even a giant slide for ultimate summer fun.
The teepee is the real outdoor MVP, with couches, a fire pit, and plenty of space for cozy (and naughty) moments. Toss in volleyball courts, picnic tables, and even beach-style showers, and you’ve got yourself a vibe. The Ranch knows how to bring the sexy party—just add sunshine!
Vibe Check – The vibe at Scarlet Ranch? Absolutely unmatched. It’s hands-down the nicest swinger club we’ve experienced in the U.S., redefining what a lifestyle club should be. Forget dirty, dingy, or sleazy—this is a high-class social club through and through. Everything about it, from the ambiance to the crowd, oozes sophistication.
The people? Well-dressed, attractive, and ready to mingle. Whether you’re here for flirty conversation or to find that perfect 4-way match, you won’t leave disappointed—I promise. The crowd is a delightful mix of Denver charm, combining Southern warmth with California’s laid-back Western vibes. Super friendly and inclusive, the age range spans from late 20s to late 60s, ensuring there’s a little something for everyone. If you’re looking for a place that’s as elegant as it is welcoming, Scarlet Ranch sets the gold standard.
Would we go back? – Let’s just say we booked a return flight 3 weeks after our first visit, and another trip is already lined up a month later. Yep, Scarlet Ranch has us hooked. With a year-long membership, we’re ready to double down and make the most of it. Sorry, Vegas—Denver rolled the dice and won big. It’s all about that Rocky Mountain jackpot now!
