The Gate House is a charming hand-built log cabin beautifully constructed by the host's husband. It has a well equipped kitchen and a gloriously comfortable king size bed in the spacious bedroom. We especially enjoyed the yard and being able to take our poor city dog on walks around the property where she could run free. Rose was a gracious host, filling us in on interesting things happening nearby and inviting us to help ourselves to the jujubes growing along the fence. We had a wonderfully relaxing, renewing four days at the Bear Paw Ranch and look for ward to returning in the not too distant future.

The hosts were very helpful and friendly. The king size bed was comfortable with great pillows and sheets. We appreciated knowing our dog was welcomed on the ranch. The kitchen was well stocked and it was nice to have access to an outdoor grill.

Bear paw ranch is a lovely remote ranch for a wonderful peaceful get away! We had WiFi. So only text communication which is all you need while getting away. The ranch is a museum in itself. Alot of antique farm equipment to see. It's a nice 2 mile walk all the way around it to see the river and lots of friendly farm animals. The house has a mini split in the bedroom that cools the whole house. Not to bad! Washer and dryer in a shed in the back. I would stay there again if I'm back in the area.

It was an amazing spot. My buddies and I simply spent a quiet couple of nights here and made some memories we will never forget. I do lots of photography so I took plenty of amazing pictures that im going to turn into a scrap book. Thanks for the memories!

Lovely place to spend time.

The ranch is a lovely place to spend time, with sample places to walk, to sit, to see the animals, to sense the history, just to be. The creativity of the owners is apparent and a joy.

Communicating with Rose prior to stay was delightful. Grace gave great information to fishing the Gila River. Cabin was super. Only a couple of hiccups...easy fixes. The white pups were adorable and Graces little dog and cat was a sweetie. The museum...I could have just camped out in there to take it all in.

Serenity Ranch

The gatehouse was extremely clean and had everything we needed after a day of hiking at Catwalk, ghost town cemetery,The Cliffs and a thrilling drive on Turkey Creek to the Gila River. The ranch was also wonderful to explore and meet all the animals! We especially liked the ranch dogs and the Jersey Cow! We hated to leave!
