How about some ideas from our guests about a summer family special. Kristine and I were talking today about some brainstorming for a weekend with yoga, nutrition, guided nature hikes, spa... so many ideas, then her son called on his way to a high school dance and my three year old daughter Dakota was playing in a puddle left from todays storm. So we started talking about our kids and how important it is to enjoy each day. And I thought, Hey, how about a weekend with kids. For older kids the nature hike with their parents, fishing, hot tub, picnic for for lunch and a family cooking class to get everyone involved even after you go home. Start one night a week cooking a meal together!
And for younger kids something similar with more snacks and soft time... but with both we would take care of you so you can enjoy spending time together with out the pressure of planning and fixing dinners and no house to clean up!!
And star gazing in the evening, what a great way for all ages to enjoy a bonfire and the sounds of the country. So should we start planning??

This March leads to a spring many are looking forward to. As a way to celebrate we have 2 for 1 specials Sunday thru Thursday evenings all month. When you reserve one of our guest rooms, you get a second guest room on the house for 2 friends or family to visit the ranch with you. Weekends we have 2 for 1 massages during the month of March with your room reservation. All based on availability, please allow a few days notice for our massage therapists.
In April we will have slumber party specials, call for availability and to see how we can help you celebrate springs return with a fun and relaxing getaway.



On a snowy 3 day weekend in February a wonderful group of ladies visited the Ranch to work on some of the most amazing quilts I have seen! Quilts need lots of room and these ladies know how to spread out! They also know how to appreciate a snowy and beautiful weekend. While I was taking pictures of the quilts, the ladies were watching Larry feed the buffalo out the west window of the great room.

The romance of soft snowy days may have you thinking of your wedding plans. When you reserve your wedding at the Ranch this year, we will do a special wedding tasting for you and 4 friends or family. Spend some time getting to know us and getting ready for your friends and family to get to know each other as you enjoy your wedding weekend with the Ranch to yourselves.
