AMAZING LOCATION
We had an amazing stay at the Ranch during the 2024 eclipse! The owners were great with communicating, flexible and willing to help us out throughout our whole stay. They were helpful and knowledgeable and we would definitely stay here again! I can't say enough good things about Zane, Kristi and Annika. Awesome place for families with so many things to do. Highly recommend for any family/friends/company retreat!

Sibling Family Christmas
Every year we rent a house for our family Christmas. There is 27 to 32 of us, so finding a house big enough is often a challenge. This time there was 27 of us ranging from 2 to 59. I can honestly say this was the nicest house we have ever rented. Zane took great care of us and they think of everything. You’d be surprised how many places are missing pots and pans, knives, mixing bowls, etc., this kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. There was a huge fire pit and plenty of wood ready for s’mores. We grilled steaks on a huge grill (propane included). A huge bonus is that each room has it own thermostat, so I could stay warm and my brother could stay cold. There is plenty of pastures/woods to stomp in and animals to feed. The kids have already asked to go back. Thank you for wonderful memories.

Amazing property
This was the 2nd time this summer we have rented this property to take campers on an overnight trip. The house is amazing and has everything you need! The creek-fed pool is relaxing and beautiful. The animals are fun to watch and pet! Owners were super accommodating and helpful.
