Summary: We were amazed at how beautiful the property was. The Lodge had everything we could have ever needed. We all said too bad we don’t own horses or we would have been horseback riding all weekend! The beds were extremely comfortable and there was plenty of room for all seven of us. We would come back and stay at the lodge again anytime

Summary: When we first chose this place back in March, some of the bedrooms had different bed setups. We had chosen it because of the bunkbeds offered since it perfectly fit the number of adults we had staying. However, we realized shortly before our stay that the bedroom layouts had changed and the room that had four bunks, now only had a double bed. This was inconvenient, but thankfully some of the single members of my group were fins with air mattresses and couches. We had fourteen adults with us, but I wouldn't recommend that many as there really isn't enough beds for that size of group. I would think eleven or twelve would be the max capacity if you only have adults in your group. Even with the change, the updates that were made to the house were really nice overall. The outdoor space was great! The kitchen was easy to use, and we were able to fit all fourteen of us at the kitchen table! We loved spending the weekend here as a family. Would definitely come back again.

Summary: We stayed at the Lodge for a family gathering of 11 adults. We loved the layout, we could be together without being on top of each other. It’s very well stocked (nice towels!) and very comfortable. We enjoyed hiking the trails around the ranch. There was a camp and ride event the same weekend; we liked hiking down the hill to see the horses, but for the sake of allergies were also glad to hike back up. We loved the view. The ranch is close enough to American Players Theater and Taliesen. We will definitely rent again next year. Really a fantastic place. Great hosts, very responsive.

Summary: We took a much needed getaway for July 4th with multigenerational family including toddler to 75 year old and found this place to be just as described. The views are incredible! And you are surrounded by nature! The house is well equipped with everything you can think of in the kitchen including a kuerig, linens, towels. We were aware there was no laundry (from prior reviews) and didn’t need one. Need to bring your own food including coffee and toiletries- they have hand wash and toilet paper. Just want to warn others about the mosquitoes on the trails! 40Þet did not keep them away! We were also rained in most of our trip but had plenty of board/card games to keep us entertained. There is WiFi but we actually managed to disconnect and not watch screens. Highly recommend this place! Oh and the horses on the trails were fun to see! Also saw deer, raccoons, owls. Thank you for a wonderful time!

Summary: Stay was great! Area is very secluded and relaxing. WiFi is good. Only thing to note was photos had bunk beds, but upon arrival noticed they were two full/queens. Not a huge deal as the rooms looked like they have been recently upgraded, but good thing to note. We had a wonderful time and would recommend the property.
