This property provided exactly what we were looking for: a quiet, comfortable base for exploring the area. Nothing fancy, but everything we needed was provided and worked as expected. The location was excellent, offering convenient access to local attractions while staying away from the busiest tourist areas and traffic. We had a great stay and would recommend it to others seeking a peaceful getaway.

What a relaxing retreat! I can't decide what liked best about our stay.. We were greeted by Francie and the hounds, who made us feel like family immediately. The beautiful cabin had all the modern comforts, while still feeling rustic. We enjoyed the daily hound visits and nightly stargazing. We will be back!

We LOVED our stay at HD Ranch! Frances went out of her way to make our stay a memorable experience for our son. The cabin is the perfect size and getting visits from the pups each day was one of the highlights of our entire trip! We will definitely be back!

We had an amazing stay, but the downstairs furniture needs an upgrade. Very uncomfortable furniture. Queen bed was very comfortable. Views are outstanding. Franci was very friendly. There if you need her, otherwise just let us be to enjoy her beautiful Ranch. We would definitely stay there again. Thank-you Franci!!

The cabin is comfortable, cozy and very peaceful - a great escape to unwind and relax. Francie you are a gem of a host. You and your staff keep the ranch very well maintained. We loved watching the deer in the fields, horses at the barn, and the amazing star gazing at night. Cooked out on the patio and felt free to explorer the ranch. The daily visits from the hounds were a treat. We will definitely be back for another enjoyable, relaxing getaway.
