Spirit of the West

Upon arrival, you’ll see many features of an authentic working ranch. Horses graze in the meadow, while playful collies greet you at the door. Chickens free-range, and cattle lay relaxing together along a traditional wooden fence-line.

The Ranch is owned and operated by a multi-generation family who are avid outdoor enthusiasts and genuine wilderness dwellers. Their many stories of homesteading in the wild, including how they fought a wildfire to save the ranch, are as compelling as the bespoke experiences they curate for guests.
