There is something so peaceful about sitting on the covered front porch in a rocking chair watching the cattle and horses. All the animals are so friendly and the host Amy treats you like family! We were able to ride the horses, there is a stocked pond to fish, hot tub to soak in after your ride and a fire pit at night. The fresh cut to order beef steaks were amazing and perfect for the on-site grill! Will definitely be back! Thank you so much for the beat weekend getaway!!!

Firescald Creek Ranch was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The setting itself is absolutely beautiful. The hospitality was truly exceptional. It’s clear that a great deal of care and effort goes into making each guest’s experience special, and that did not go unnoticed. Everything exceeded expectations. The ranch provided the perfect backdrop for some very special moments, and it’s a place we’ll always associate with great memories, gratitude, and joy.I would highly recommend Firescald Creek Ranch to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with genuine hospitality and a truly unique experience. We’re incredibly thankful for our time there and would love to return in the future.

Stunning property with the coziest rustic cabin!!

Amy is an amazing host. She really goes above and beyond to ensure a wonderful experience at a gorgeous ranch. The cabin was spotless and perfect for a cold winter night. We were snug and comfortable our whole stay. Amy was very responsive and overall the experience was fantastic!!

Beautiful scenery

Loved the views, very quiet. Just as described but could use a good cleaning, a lot of cobwebs and even though it's in the middle of nowhere maybe add some curtains in the bathroom so if guests want to feel private that can choose to, a working ranch says their are people working that ranch somewhere on the property. All in all was exactly what we needed.

Wow, a one star review for a gorgeous, private ranch stay? Sorry if a cobweb may offend you but the bunkhouse is definitely clean. I didn’t see any mention of the condition of the kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, etc as they are very well maintained. But yes, we are in the middle of nowhere And have LOTS of insects. So that means we have lots of spiders. We also raise all natural beef and fruit right outside the bunkhouse and we do not use pesticides. I fry your review is unjustified and ridiculous. If you want to stay in a sterile environment I suggest a hotel in a city not a RUSTIC bunkhouse on a working ranch. I’m not quite able to decipher what your opinion of that was. We hope all your future travels are cobweb free.

Fun Farm!

Was fun to see horses roaming (who apparently even like to lick cars! Ha!) and to also see the beautiful cattle in the field.

Absolutely beautiful!!!! Very relaxing and peaceful property with horses and cattle grazing. They offer steaks from their ranch and there is a charcoal grill to cook on. Plenty of dishes and condiments. Had coffee and keurig. The washer and dryer was an added bonus. Definitely will be staying in the future. We have t-mobile cell phone service and used adapter to stream Netflix and YouTube on tv in living room

Weekend getaway

We had such a fun stay at the farm. The house and amenities were a bit dated (no internet and we never did figure out how to get the TV to work), but nothing that would keep us from staying here again.

Sorry you found us to be “Dated”. As stated in the description, the bunkhouse is rustic. The tv and DVD player operate the same as any others. We strive to keep the bunkhouse clean and simple. Thanks for staying with us
