Feels like home

Our family loved our stay! We made use of the heated garage for meals and games. There were many conversation areas. The game area in the basement was perfect for the younger ones in the group. The beds were very comfortable. It was great to have four main ones and an overflow with many bunks. 4 bathrooms, 2 up, 2 down was an amazing plus. We even made use of the whirlpool in the master bath.The kitchen/dining layout was great for our size family.Thanks for a perfect getaway in Starbuck!

Great Family Getaway

Our family with 8 adults and 9 children (6-16) enjoyed the backyard, front porch, and everything in between. The quiet view of the prairie is so beautiful! The State Park nearby is fun for non-motorized boating.

Great venue, secluded, beautiful sunsets, hosts were there when needed, but out of the way otherwise. Proximity to Glacier Park provided many recreational afternoons. Would strongly recommend to anyone looking for a place for a family gathering.

Annual Family Vacation

This is the second time we used this property for our family vacation. This place is awesome and fit the needs of our family very well. We love the spacious home and the big yards for our kids and grandchildren to experience tons of fun! The swings, sandbox, and outdoor fire pit were great additions! There was plenty of space for our large group of 21! Thanks to Jim and Twyla for being such great hosts.

Great stay

Great stay and owners were very kind. The only things to note were there were a couple in person check ins that were a bit surprising and we would have appreciated some heads up, particularly with small children around we wouldn’t have wanted them to come across strangers, so that’s our feedback on how to make the stay more comfy and why the one less star. And second note there was a hot tub listed but there wasn’t one. All things considered it was still a great place to stay and we appreciate the hosts for sharing their home!

We rented the Jim and Twyla's ranch home for a family vacation getaway.

Our family could not have been happier with our stay at the ranch! The house was so spacious and our kids loved the bunkroom in the basement. We were warmly welcomed by Jim and Twyla and enjoyed their kind hospitality! This spot was everything we wanted and more! The location was beautiful and so peaceful. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a place to make memories with your family.

The Roundup Girls

This was the second time we stayed on the ranch. It is very spacious with lots of room. We had 9 adult women and we each had our own bed with lots of room and bathrooms. It's very nice and clean and Jim and Twila are very friendly and helpful. When I sent a message to them asking for help they were very quick to answer and came quickly when we needed them.

Fantastic Stay in Rural MN

Our family of 7 adults and 6 children (ages 8 months to 8 years) found all the comforts of home at Clear Springs Cattle Ranch. The lower level play area and bunk room provided space for kids and allowed quiet conversations upstairs for the adults. Multiple bathrooms and bedrooms were clean and comfortable. The swing-set and sandbox were favorites of the kids!

The siblings gather

This place has everything you need. Very clean, very roomy, very well equipped. The hosts, Jim and Twyla, couldn’t be nicer - from the homemade sweet bread to the almost instant delivery of a heating pad, they couldn’t have been more accommodating. A lovely pastoral setting on a working farm. We all loved it!

We will return!

This is a fantastic home with caring and considerate hosts. This is a perfect annual gathering space for 9 adult siblings and some children and grandchildren. The heated garage with a counter and tables/chairs is a bonus that gave us lots of conversation areas and lots of space to spread out. 2025 will be our third year here. Thank you to Jim and Twyla!

About the host

Hosted by Jim and Twyla Wulf

Host profile image
We are a family ranch that raises Simmental and SimAngus cattle in the hills of the Glacial Ridge region of West Central Minnesota. In 2013 this place came available and was just next door to our existing ranch so we purchased it even though we didn't need the house for our family yet. In Jan.2020 we began remodeling the house to add a bedroom and bathroom so we can sleep a bigger group and we opened our doors to vacation renters in June 2020.

Why they chose this property

We love giving people a Ranch experience when they are here. It is also a blessing to us to meet so many great people.
