Let us extend our western hospitality and provide you with an authentic and memorable experience.
Our ranch is located on historic Big Bar mountain and offers magnificent scenery, invigorating country air and the sounds of nature such as crickets, tapping of the woodpeckers, singing of many birds, call of the coyotes and the wind blowing through the trees.
Wake to the warm rays of the sun caressing the tops of the trees and streaming through your window or the smells of fresh brewing coffee and fresh baked bread. Join us at the breakfast bar where the coffee pot is always full and get ready to start your day with a hearty breakfast.
Away from the hustle and bustle of city life, your stay with us is an opportunity to relax whether in an easy chair enjoying a video, lounging on the deck with a good book or listening to music while you snooze in the sun. Perhaps you would like to sit down at the baby grand piano or pick up one of several guitars if making your own music is how you best unwind.
We invite you to get 'down and dirty' and participate in the ranching experience. Discover for yourself the gratification from feeding the livestock, exercising and grooming the horses and, yes, even mucking out the stalls. Saddle up your horse with a purpose. Fences need to be checked and cattle need to be moved. Have you ever had a hankering to drive a John Deere tractor? Well there's plenty of opportunity. Round bales need to be loaded and distributed to feed pens almost daily. Depending on the timing of your stay, you might try your hand at haying or plowing the driveways.
Perhaps your delight would be to play with the foals and pet the calves or embark upon a day of discovery. Saddle up your horse, hop on the ATV or put on your hiking boots to explore the many trails on and around the ranch, taking in the spectacular scenery and wildlife as you go.
The fresh air and the activities around the ranch is sure to give you an appetite, so you won't want to miss a delicious lunch at the lodge. However, if you have planned a day in the back country we will pack a picnic lunch for you. As a fitting end to the activities of the day, a gourmet dinner awaits you. Topics around the dinner table are sure to be your experiences of the day and plans for tomorrow.
With the taste of dessert still lingering on your tongue you might wish take your coffee or glass of wine to the deck to reflect on your day while you absorb the beauty of the breath-taking sunsets and the sublime peace and tranquility of evenings at the ranch.
Before you retire to the privacy and comfort of your room, you can hang out around the pool table, enjoy a movie or special event on the big-screen TV, or simply mingle with new friends around the fireplace.
Luxury accommodations will highlight your stay with us in a non-smoking environment. Guest rooms are spacious featuring lots of wood (log, pine, spruce, oak), vaulted ceilings, skylights to gaze at the myriad of twinkling stars as you drift off to sleep on a queen sized bed with a pillow top mattress and eider-down duvet. Each room has a lavish private ensuite equipped with shower and jaccuzzi soaker tub. Plan to be caressed by the soft air-jetted swirling water. Choose from a wide selection of music and videos to enjoy on your own TV and DVD player in the privacy of your room.
Guests can share in the enjoyment of all amenities and the ambience of our 3-story log retreat. Opportunities for socializing abound whether in the main room around the fireplace or in the recreation room which features a fireplace, pool table and dart board.
