About this property
Spacious 5-bedroom/3 bath LODGE, Located between Fort Ransom, ND & Lisbon, ND
Located a short distance from scenic Fort Ransom, ND, Dragon Creek Ranch is nestled in the heart of the Sheyenne River Valley. The property is just over 500 acres and is characterized by rolling hills, oak woodlands, open grasslands, lush ravines, clear-running creeks and thick cattail sloughs. As a result, this beautiful ranch provides diverse habitat for our big bodied northern whitetails and massive elk bulls, as well as other wildlife. The property is used as a private hunting ranch during the fall and winder months, but during the spring and summer, the property is all yours! We also raise whitetail deer, fallow deer and elk so you can take some wonderful wildlife pictures! If bird watching is more your thing, we have plenty of Rock Wrens, Turkey Vultures, Sprague's Pipit and Spotted Towhee, just to name a few.
The lodge is located INSIDE the preserve so you will be able so see these animals walk by as you are sitting at the dinning room table through our huge windows that show off the property. This is a beautiful place inside and out. The lodge is two levels with 5 bedrooms and 3 baths, washer/dryer, microwave, free Wi-Fi, large kitchen table that seats 8, gas fireplace, smart tvs in each room upstairs, 75 inch tv in the upstairs living room and 75 inch tv in the basement living room, cooking utensils, pot, pans, dishes, coffee maker, coffee grinder, etc. There is also a very large deck along the back side for those summer nights and a very large firepit located on the ground level behind the lodge that is available for your use.
** APOLOGY: The lodge is also a work in progress! We are still working on some of the finishing touches in the basement, deck, garage and landscaping of the property. We opened the lodge in 2022 and my husband and I are the contractors. So, we get it done when we can. We hope to add heaters and deck furniture on the deck in the near future. We are also adding rock along the concrete basement walls outside and a small deck for the side door. As of now, there is nothing there but the lodge is still easily accessible by the garage. In 2026-27 we hope to add a hot tub under the deck in a 4-season room. Also, more outdoor furniture (swings, etc), heaters and another firepit will be added to the area in front of the 4-season room - hopefully by 2028. I will add updated pictures as the projects are completed. **

This property is gorgeous! Beautiful house, lots of room, very clean! It had everything we needed for meals. The view just stunning! Deb was easy to work with. Will definitely be staying here again for future family visits.
Amazing place to stay. The hosts were above and beyond accommodating and super responsive to messages. The house was very clean and is equipped with everything you need and more. The pictures don't lie; the views are breath taking. We wished we could have stayed longer.
We had the best time. We wish we could have stayed longer. It was so neat to see all the wildlife. The house was clean and comfy. Will definitely be back. Want a remote getaway that’s still close to towns and backed with nature, this is the place.
It's a beautiful property and the home is perfect for a small family gathering. The views are incredible! The home is still being worked on but we were all comfortable. A couple suggestions: quadruple checking that the bedding is clean before guests arrive and a heads up on the Broken AC would have been appreciated. Luckily the weather was perfect and we never felt hot during our stay.
Our hosts were very kind and attentive to our requests. They went above and beyond. For example, upon arrival I asked them if the property had an outdoor grill. Unfortunately the grill had been destroyed by a recent storm. The next day they purchased a new wood pellet grill even though we told them it was not necessary. We had the opportunity to visit with our hosts during our stay and we very much enjoyed it.
