About this property

Camels, Yellow Cabin and more! Unique ranch!

Kaleidoscope Ranch offers camels, critters, and 3 beautiful cabins located on 60 acres. The property is rolling green hills, pastures and wooded areas. Miniature horses, donkeys and Alpacas wander freely and graze right around the cabins. They love people and are always up for petting and selfies. The cabins are individually themed and totally unique. Each has a large covered porch with seating and spacious views that make you feel like you are in a world of your own. Picnic tables scatter the area if you are ready for a picnic. Fully equipped kitchens with everything you need to cook and dine, or visit restaurants in Gilmer, Hawkins or Big Sandy. Linens and towels provided. The Family room has a TV that is only connected to a DVD player, DVDs, games, and books are provided for your enjoyment. No wifi but you won't miss it, most guests say is was a welcome break from technology. Instead, you can unplug and hike with the wandering donkeys and horses. Brush the camels, Delilah loves it! Cuddle draft horses, alpacas, goats, and the mini pig. Come fish in our small pond, we have bass. This isn't your typical vacation rental house, this is an amazing experience that guests don't soon forget.

The space
This cabin boasts four full-sized beds in two lofts connected by a catwalk. The stairs are steeper and skinnier than normal so caution is advised for guests with mobility issues. It is a loft, not a second story so headspace is about 5'10" at the peak.

Guest access
Guests may access all of the property except the owner’s home, guest home, and pool area.

Other things to note
The property is very hilly so bring comfy old tennis shoes/ boots/ rain boots. It's always a good idea to pack a sweatshirt and light jacket. Extra socks and clothes are always a good plan. Don't bother dressing fancy!
Also there is no wifi available. You can truly unplug

Best little ranch ever!
I would highly recommend anyone with kids stay here for a few days. The Host, Robin is an incredible woman and really gets the kids involved with the animals! My 8 yo granddaughter couldn’t wait each day to help feed the animals morning and evening. There is a Pond for fishing, so many animals to brush or pet, sixty acres to wonder around on, toys, swing, fire pit and so much more. We will be back.

Second Time Here.. Amazing as Always!
This was our second visit to Kaleidoscope Ranch, but our first to the yellow cabin. We previously stayed in blue; we have a goal to make our way to each cabin eventually! The cabin was very clean and included everything we needed to stay comfortably. Robin, or “Farmer Robin” as my daughter calls her, is wonderful. She invited us to help her feed the many animals twice a day and was so patient with my kids as they helped. The mini donkeys, mini horses, and alpacas roam the property freely and were often surrounding our cabin. We were able to collect fresh eggs from the chickens to enjoy- they were delicious! Thank you for a wonderful stay. We can’t wait to come back.

Unique and Relaxing
It was very pleasant to stay at the ranch. Seeing the animals was a treat. The cabin was comfortable. Our kids enjoyed the open loft bedroom area.

About the host

Hello. Thanks for checking out Kaleidoscope Ranch. I've poured my heart into creating a unique retreat where families and friends can relax, recharge and reconnect. The property is absolutely gorgeous and you can spend time hiking, fishing or just hanging out on the porch. So much thought and hard work has gone into finishing each cabin. Each cabin has a unique animal theme and looks totally different from the others. All of my animals love interacting with guests, especially the kids. It's not uncommon for the alpacas to follow you on your hike or the donkeys to join your lunch picnic. It's my hope that when you visit you feel like you are in a different world and you can't wait to come back.
