This property is beyond beautiful! It is immaculately clean. Sarah was amazing, she actually met us at the property and showed us around and answered any question we had. We didn't have many as everything was right at our fingertips. The pool was fantastic. The surrounding area was spectacular, the kiddos loved the grassy pond area. We saw deer, turkey, ducks at the pond. The views were beautiful, morning coffee by the pool, watching the sun rise over the mountains was amazing. I will definitely be bringing our family there again and again!

The Historic Shankle Ranch was the perfect place for our family to gather. There were plenty of comfortable spaces to connect—both as a group and in smaller conversations—and the indoor and outdoor fireplaces added a wonderful ambiance. The sunrise and mountain views were absolutely stunning.We enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and the incredible treehouse, which made our stay extra special. The home was exceptionally well equipped, and our hosts were attentive and responsive throughout our stay. We will definitely be back!

One of the loveliest places I've ever stayed (and I've traveled worldwide). This was for a girls' getaway birthday party and there was so much room for eight of us to spread out. The views were magical, cleanliness impeccable, beds comfortable, kitchen fully equipped, hosts accommodating...what more can I say other than I wish we'd stayed longer.

Perfect for a large family gathering

We stayed at Shankle with all the extended family in tow, and ended up with all three properties on site for a nearby wedding. It was perfect! Enough room to prepare food, socialize, relax, enjoy, and the view was amazing! We fell in love with the property and would recommend it highly.
