This is a great property that has something for everyone! The fishing is great! The kayaks were a lot of fun and The spring is very refreshing! The essentials were all provided!
The property was gorgeous! The house was beautiful and had everything we needed! The best part was most definitely the farm animals! I do wish the chlorine pool were accessible, but the Spring Water pool was great!!! We will for sure be back!!
We hosted our office summer retreat here and every detail was perfect. The house fit our group of 35 comfortably under one roof. We enjoyed kayaking, exploring the nature trails and beating the heat at the spring fed pool. Zane and Kristi were so accommodating and were just a text away if we needed anything. Everyone had a wonderful time away from the city and we can’t wait to rebook next year! Can’t recommend enough!
The pictures just don't do this property justice! We rented the house for a work retreat/training and everyone was blown away. The rooms are all spread out with individual locks on each room for privacy. So much to do that everyone didn't want to leave. From feeding the baby goats, petting the miniature horses to taking the small boat out for fishing everyone had a great time. Zane the owner was very helpful and accommodating!
Our group had a fantastic time staying at this ranch. Wide open spaces, tons of activities, and modern amenities. Would recommend for any large group. Owner was very nice and helpful in showing us around and making sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

Always THE best!!
Kristi is amazing, and her ranch is one of the best places on earth! We love you Kristi and love regularly staying at your beautiful estate!!!
This place was amazing! The kids had so much fun swimming, kayaking, fishing and exploring! We had 35 people there and it still had room for way more. The property manager was awesome and great people to talk with. One of the best features is privacy. You are not right on top of other people and you can really enjoy spending family time with everyone. The house was perfect and very comfortable. I would recommend this ranch to everyone.
This 200 acre ranch was the most AMAZING, beautiful, and well-kept home + ever. It was incredible to say the very least. Kristi and Zane were such gracious and informative hosts, making sure we had the best time and memories. We cannot WAIT to visit again! Thank you so much Kristi!!!
This place really does have it all! The newly remodeled inn was perfect for our entire family. It had more bedrooms than I could count, and everyone had their own private bathrooms. This place was secluded on 200 acres & was perfect for every age group in our family. We had some who went fishing, others went exploring and swam in the natural spring- fed pool, while others played with and fed the sweet farm animals. None of us were bored to say the least. This place gave us a much needed retreat from the city life. We will definitely be returning for another getaway. I can honestly say this is the most beautiful & magical place I’ve ever seen. Pictures just don’t do it justice!
