A peaceful cabin in the middle of a country setting

About Denise Riley

Hi! We are Mike and Denise Riley, the owners of the Shamrock Ranch in Excelsior Springs, Missouri. We have been married almost 30 years and in 2020 we purchased this 323 acre property as a retirement adventure. While Mike still works outside of the home, Denise has stepped away from her 25+ Human Resource Career and enjoys showing off this property to guests. Initially, it was purchased as a hunting property for Mike and friends and family, and while we DO NOT offer public hunting, the space is so versatile that we decided to rennovate a 100 year old Quonset barn into a small event space and turn the 40'x100' section of the pole barn into a reception venue. During this process we remodeled and added on to a cabin that was originally built in the 1940's which is the cabin you see in the pictures. For events we use it as a place for hosts to stay or brides and wedding parties to get ready in. However, during our off season, we decided to just rent out the cabin. Which is where we are today. This place is truly a piece of heaven and we look forward to sharing it with you and your loved ones!

Why Denise Riley chose Ray County

This property is off the beaten path. So if you want to get a way from city life or your visiting family nearby and want a place to escape--this is the place for you. We are 10 miles from Excelsior Springs and 40 minutes from downtown Kansas City, Missouri--what a great place for a weekend getaway, or a small couples retreat. We also have 3 RV sites on the property that will hold 40'+ RV's and have water and electric at the site. We will rent those for a small additional fee.
