Unique getaway spot

We had an amazing stay! The ranch is a very beautiful location and was a perfect get away for our family. Unique layout with bedrooms in a separate building. It was nice to have the space for our dogs to also enjoy! The hosts were lovely and very responsive! We would very much recommend this spot!

Had such a wonderful stay in a very unique house that was set up perfectly for our weekend getaway with a group of friends. High end finishings as all around, yet able to get back to nature with incredible views in a serene location.

Remote and fully serviced.

We had a great stay at this home. A property this remote, fully serviced, and modern is a treat. We did not see another human during our 3 nights. Property was clean, beds were comfortable, and the home had basiclly everything you would need. Our 3 toddlers had lots a fun as there was great outdoor spaces to play and lots of kids toys inside. Would easily reccomend this home.

Excellent in EVERY WAY

Wonderful property - unique Architectural Gem. Creatively designed in the spirit of Frank Lloyd Wright, with philosophy of organically connecting with nature. Set upon hundreds of acres of Ranch. Owner (Claire) comms were highly responsive and clear/helpful every step of the way. We couldn't be more grateful for everything! Thanks so much Claire and Michael. You blessed us by sharing your extraordinary home/property.

Incredible!

I’m embarrassed it’s taken me so long to review such an incredible property. We came here for my husband’s birthday last year. I was looking for somewhere memorable and unique where we could have our kids but it also be somewhere special for the adults. We had the most amazing time! The property and house are breathtaking and very well equipped. The hosts were wonderful and very accommodating. We tell everyone about our stay here. It’s a must visit! Thank you so much for having us, we would love to visit again in the future!

Perfect Family Getaway

My family rented this beautiful property for a long overdue reunion with my brothers, parents and our respective families. The scenery of the huge ranch is breathtaking and the home is designed well for a vacation rental. We could put our baby and toddler to bed in the guesthouse and still have plenty of space to hang out into the evening. The covered gazebo area was perfect for cooking and dining and we enjoyed many games of cornhole (brought our own boards) in the backyard with a beautiful view. The kitchen was well stocked with nearly everything we needed to cook our meals and store our food/beverages. Communication with the hosts was good. I was a bit confused about cleaning expectations at the end of our stay as they had cleaners come but had a long list of cleaning expectations sent in a pdf document but we did our best to leave it as we found it! We would definitely return for another stay as we were sad to leave!

Can not speak more highly about this property. My wife and I got married here with a few of our closest family and it was perfect. The property is stunning and their attention to detail when constructing the property is incredible. The property had everything that we needed to have an unforgettable experience. The owners were very responsive to any questions that we had. The only thing i wish is that we had a longer stay to explore the property a bit more. Definitely recommend and will be a returning customer in the years to come.
