This is one of the best places we’ve stayed. Has everything you need, owner is so accommodating, decor is impeccable and always so clean. It’s the perfect place for our couples golf weekend with each bedroom having its own bathroom. Will definitely be back for our 4th year.
Our bowling league (13 ladies) enjoyed our stay and was impressed with how lovely and well equipped the property was. We are looking forward to booking next year. ThankYou
This was our 3rd time staying here and we loved it as always! We love being able to take hikes right on the property. Also kitchen is fully stocked with any utensil or kitchen ware you could need.
We had a sibling weekend at Double Bore Ranch. It was a great property. We especially enjoyed the deck and fire pit. Enjoyed that the property was remote but still close to town.
We had a family of 13 staying at the property. The property was well maintained, the kitchen was very well stocked with supplies, the hiking trails were enjoyed by everyone. There were many things to do in the surrounding area. We spent five nights and never ran out of things to do.
Our family of 16 throughly enjoy our time away together at this wonderful property. The house was perfect and all the hiking trails, large porch and so much more made this an amazingly peaceful retreat!
