If your idea of a “ranch” is a luxury spa with an old wagon out front, this rental is not for you. If you want to stay on a place that is surrounded by sage brush shrublands full of life, complete with chickens, wonderful vegetable gardens, bugs, cattle, and a 200-year-old log ranch house that has been lived in, not “restored”, with million-dollar views from everywhere, then you will have a wonderful experience at Antelope Ranch in Savery, Wyoming. This piece of Wyoming heaven also includes Lela Emmons, a wonderful host who patiently answers endless questions and is as generous with her property as it is possible to be. The spacious ranch house has homey furniture, rooms with lovely windows, and a big kitchen that is old-fashioned and truly fun to make meals in. A classic example of previous foodies each leaving the larder better than they found it.
There are lovely walks and drives in the surrounding area, especially a beautiful river throughout. A truck or four-wheel drive vehicle would help, but is not mandatory. We managed without one. The Museum in Savery shouldn't be missed if you are interested in Western history. Many of the items and exhibits are connected to residents of the Snake River Valley. Original buildings spread around the grounds are extremely interesting.
Listing photos and descriptions are very accurate. Property is well-maintained and lovely.
Very recommended.
