Cowboy Healing Magic

I’d say we were lucky to find this place for a last minute weekend adventure, but it found us. Perfectly located for hiking and kayaking in Central Oregon. Tammy introduced us to her therapy horses and it was a privilege to meet someone with such a vision for wellness in her community AND with an appreciation for old west whimsy. We loved all the detail in homage to cowboys and cowboy couture. Quiet, clean, calming. We look forward to coming back soon.

Everything you could need

The bunkhouse is comfortable with nice touches inside and out. The owners have created a unique western movie set on the property and the theme carries through inside the bunkhouse. The owners have also definitely spent some time being sure you have anything your could need during your stay. I only wish we had more time here.

Quick getaway

It was very nice to stay here for a short visit with area friends and quiet relaxing. The owners thought of so many little things inside to make the stay complete and their view of the sky was a bonus for watching the meteor shower.

Why they chose this property

If you are looking for a peaceful, tranquil place to chill out but yet be very close to Bend, Sisters, Redmond and the Mountain, this is the place for you. The views are even better than what you see in the pictures. Most guests spend time on the porch watching the amazing sunsets and sipping coffee or wine and taking in the view of the mountains.

What makes this property unique

Wake up to incredible sunrises and watch the playful horses. Spend time on the wrap around porch or in the bunkhouse watching the amazing sunsets. Fire pit just off the porch and surrounded by a covered wagon and an authentic Old West town. Sometimes the antique stagecoach is parked in town and other wagons and buggies.

Enjoy some cowboy coffee or roast marshmallows over the open fire. The mini horses are just outside your door. Enjoy the peaceful and scenic surroundings at the ranch as you watch the amazing sun setting behind the mountains.

Explore the old west ghost town that surrounds the Bunkhouse and check out the antique wagons. It is like stepping back in time......If you are a fan of" Yellowstone" or "1883" - You will love this ranch !! ( Yellowstone DVD's provided - all 4 seasons )
