Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 7-8)
Come to a relaxing mountain setting with a sweeping view across a peaceful meadow, just a short walk across the fields from the Trinity River. The riverfront property is at the end of a quiet country road, located just ten miles south of historic Gold Rush Town of Weaverville.
The Ranch is a great place to visit in all seasons of the year! Your family can enjoy time together, with each person choosing their own level of activity, whether it be fishing, boating, birdwatching, walking, or reading. A good spot from which to take trips to the nearby Trinity Alps, Lewiston, or Trinity Lakes, or just stick close to the Ranch, the river, and the quiet.

Thank you for offering up your lovely country home to our families. It was a pleasure meeting you and having the opportunity to converse. We arrived a little early and met Toni, she was very nice and left the house so clean for our use. She was also very helpful when I phoned her a few times. The guys went fishing but had no luck. They lamost caught a few, but the fish outsmarted them. The shop that you recommended for fishng supplies (Dragonfly Outfitters, next to Long’s) was great. The La Grange Café was good, but definitely not home cooking! We will probably stick to smaller places next time. The view here is very peaceful. We took a photo of a bald eagle which watched us for quite awhile. We met the goat farmer and had a great conversation. We also met Rich Lorenz on his way into town and learned a bit of history. I truly enjoyed the walks, the river, the cozy clean home, etc. We will likely come back but may ask if the master bed has been changed out. (editor’s note – replacing the master bed is on our list!)

We had a great time here at the Arttus Ranch. We didn’t catch any fish but we had a very relaxing vacation.

Coming from far way (Germany), we looked forward to spending 2 weeks in the middle of nature. Our expectations have been more than fulfilled. We really fell in love with the place, the house (carefully kept, very good equipment, in particular for cooking, the river, the sun and the stars. We were overwhelmed by Rob’s helpful friendliness, telling us stories about the region and letting our bias roll down the river. We learned a lot about the inhabitants reason to live here and how they led their lives with a relaxed mood. We will recommend this location to all of our friends (unfortunately, however, few will make the long trip, but we know what they will miss!) So, we had a wonderful time & we’re leaving the place with a full bowl of costly and happy rememberings.

Another year of fun fishing – no catches but we had a marvelous time. Really enjoyed staying here. Nicely equipped, and the six of us had a fun vacation.

It was a relaxing and wonderful time for the six of us. We learned a lot about the Boer goats – what cute little guys! The fellows enjoyed their fishing even though they didn’t catch any. The gals enjoyed reading & I was able to paint (watercolors) a couple of pastoral paintings.

Christmas in September was totally fun. Nice time was had by all of us, seven fantastic beautiful women on our annual get-away! The home was very comfortable and well-equipped, the house was filled with laughter and pure good spirit. Thanks for teaching us about the South African goats. Sitting on the front patio area, enjoying wine, watching the goats frolic was so peaceful – thanks!

We had a great stay here at the cabin. We went rafting and fishing and were visited by the big white dog from across the way. The kitchen was very well stocked with pots nad pans & everything we needed.

Nine days is not enough! We met Toni upon arrival – the house was spotless and Toni was great! Next we met Rob and the goats. Rob was so helful and informative, we enjoyed his company very much. We fished and swam at the locals secret swimming hole, ate out, ate in, and generally had a great time! Thank you so much for making your home available to us and our dogs. We fished in the Lewiston Lake Annual Fish Derby and won several gift certificates for local restaurants, boat rentals, etc., which, of course, we must use next year! Thank you again for such great accommodations and a wonderful time.
