Tours are highly recommended to help you take full advantage of the ranch. Initial guided river access is required, after which you are free to enjoy the private beach and source at your leisure. You must respect off-limits areas; if you're unsure, please ask. Our horse Legs is our official mascot and he loves the treats we provide.

Other things to note
Please familiarize yourself & your companion with the listing. The property and structures are historically old (homesteaded in 1898) so the set up is a little quirky and takes you back in time a little. Read the entire description & click on pictures to reveal captions. The bathroom is roughly 25 steps from your living space and only 10 feet from the pool (which makes for a handy changing room and a quick dash to a warm room during the cold months. In a tiny house situation, it is our opinion that having the bathroom separate from the studio helps keep the romance alive.
We are adults only (including infants), and two-person maximum. Tobacco use, underage drinking, unregistered guests, animals of any kind, and open carry firearms are prohibited. This is a completely safe sanctuary and place of true respite. Leave the kids & pets at home and come here to disconnect from the everyday grind.
Please note that if you are over six feet tall, the studio space has 6'6" ceilings & low doorways. Please bring what you need to prepare meals; we don't provide dishes, etc. We offer a grill, microwave, frig, and coffeemaker w/ fresh ground organic coffee, plus some little surprises.
