We city folks arrived to Tim and Michelle's beautiful, visually stunning ranch property and like other reviewers have said, did NOT want to leave. The "Artists Studio," sitting in a valley of golden hills, along a winding picturesque country road, was perfect for our group of 10, with plenty of group or private spaces to hang out. The peaceful back deck on the house underneath a giant oak was were we ate our meals, played board games, and just took in the fresh air, punctuated by the sounds of an occasional cow lowing from across the valley. In the distance, we might catch the faint sound of a horse whinny. Yes, really! At night, a virtual canopy of millions of stars had us speechless. We strolled over to the main ranch house and happened upon a delightful yet probably typical day-on-the-ranch tableau. In the clean, spacious, covered horse arena, Michelle was teaching six 10 year old girls about how to teach your horse to walk. In the barn, Michelle and Tim's daughter was fresh from the county fair that morning with her own lamb (to me, this lamb looks like a GIANT SHEEP, bigger than a large dog) that she would care for during the year. As she stroked her lamb, she patiently stood and answered all of our questions about life on the ranch, animals, and going to school in a one room school house down the road. Tim was working with a couple of ranch hands moving wood in a tractor. Yup. A REAL farmer's tractor, just like in the story books. Everyone works hard but will stop what they are doing to make sure you have all you need and answer any of your city-kid questions. Meanwhile, the lamb escapes. I want to panic. The work hands deftly steer their horses so as to corral the lamb without frightening it. Tim lopes over, picks up his lasso, spins it, and has the lamb gently captured as his young daughter expertly slides in from behind the lamb and grabs its leash.... bridle?? Does it get any better? Oh yes it does! At night, we again stroll to the main house after hearing rumors of roasted marshmallows being available. 6 or 8 young ranch hands are sitting around the campfire. Tim and Michelle are out on an anniversary date. Before we know it, these young kids are playing guitar and singing for us. They each tell how inspirational Tim and Michelle have been in their lives. We sing along under the stars. What a magical place. We realize that all weekend, we never logged in to check our emails. THAT says it all. Book this place. You won't regret it!
