About the host
Hosted by Shelly
My husband Kevin and I moved to the ranch on January 2, 2015, to begin our next adventure. We truly believed God gave us our own slice of heaven here. After Kevin passed away in 2019, I continued to thank God for our time here together. Today, with the help of family and friends, I carry on running the ranch and love sharing this special place with our guests.
