Hosted by Terry, Mary or Domingo
Terry was born to the ranch and this life. I married into it and we just never slowed down! We gave 2 cabins. And rv rental. The goats are a full time job come April, and we also are custom hayers.
Why they chose this property
our cabin is historical and special. A glimpse of real ranch life is fascinating to others, we have found. Please relax and unwind up here, we welcome you. we have put in hughes net, so those of you who need to work, can..... sorry..
What makes this property unique
We are so close to the hot springs, or our local's hot pots, as we call them, and really love the privacy and the solitude that we can offer to the world. we are minutes away from world class rock climbing as well, and have had climbers as far away as germany stay here for weeks. Please let us show you the elk pen cabin as well as this one, and NOW we are going underground! whooo a dull moment here! Also just found another school house, the mead school house... will be moving her up here as well!!
