About this property
Diamond A Cattle Tourist Cabin
Our 1940s tourist cabin has been recently remodeled. There is a full-sized bed in one bedroom and a twin sized bed in the other bedroom. The small bathroom with a shower has just been updated with beautiful new tile. An equipped small kitchen has a full-sized refrigerator and an apartment sized stove. We can grocery shop for you if you would like and have your groceries (and the bill) waiting for you when you arrive. We have access to farm fresh eggs.
You will have only 1 1/2 miles of gravel to travel on to get to our ranch.
We offer tours of our ranch. On the ranch is the original 1906 Homestead Shanty that was built for the Ashley Brothers. The shanty holds three pieces of original furniture along with other period furniture. The shanty was occupied until 1956.
A one room rural schoolhouse built in 1905 sits next to the tourist cabin. Desks, books, maps, a wood burning stove offer an opportunity to play act and pretend you are either the teacher in the school or the dunce. One corner inside the schoolhouse has a voting booth and the original voting box.
We have a camp store that is open all the time. Cowgirl necklaces made by our real cowgirl and cowboy grandkids. Chokecherry jelly. Dill pickles, Bad River Beef Jerky, Pemmican and Summer Sausage. (Pemmican is what the Native Americans made with ground buffalo, antelope or deer and nuts and fruits).
We now have a Free Library so you can pick a book, read it at the Diamond A Ranch or take it with you on your travels. When you are done with the book, you can find another Free Library and return it there. Near the Free Library is a "Take a Stick, Leave a Stick" Library for dogs.
Diamond A Cattle Company has both an indoor and an outdoor roping / rodeo arena. Events held at the arenas are barrel racing, bull riding, team penning, team roping and Cowboy Mounted Shooting.
Corriente cattle used for team roping, steer wrestling and bull riding are raised on the Diamond A Cattle Co. We will show off our cattle on our ranch tour.
If you are traveling in your own RV, we have electrical hookups located next to the cabin. We charge $25 per hookup.
Diamond A Cattle Company offers overnight stabling for your horses. Your horses can spend the night in our outdoor arena or in smaller pens inside or outside. We charge $20 per horse per night.
We are only 17 miles from the Missouri River. We can offer suggestions for dining and touring.
