Celebrated Daddy’s Heaven Birthday

2025 was our second time staying at this BEAUTIFUL ranch celebrating my daddy’s heavenly birthday! So spacious and nicely equipped. The kitchen has TWO refrigerators/freezers which nicely accommodated the food for our large party along with all the kitchen necessities. The double back porch is so relaxing and the hiking trails are a MUST. If not, you can enjoy the provided DVD’s while shooting a game of pool. I will be scheduling again for next year! Thanks so much for sharing your Ranch with us!

Winter Weekend

We are a large group of friends who have been enjoying the Cook Forest region for more than 35 years of Winter Weekends. Double Bore is large enough to accomodate our group and is located on a beautiful, peaceful and private property. Management is friendly and so easy to work with and it's easy to access from various points (directions). There is plenty to do inside and out at Double Bore, from cooking, to cozy fires, to games and walks in the woods or visiting antique stores, a winery and a rustic brewery very nearby!
