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.

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!

Incredible Location for Family time
We had a group of 21 staying at the Ranch house for Thanksgiving. The house was very clean and kitchen was well-stocked. The garage provided a great place for kids to play, storage of winter gear, and even cleaning of pheasants after a few hunts. The basement was full of toys and games and the kids kept very busy down there. The bunk room was a great sleeping spot for them. Jim and Twyla were extremely friendly and accommodating with an early check-in request, as well as some other extras like taking our kids on the tractor to feed the cows. This is a gorgeous setting and very close to Lake Minnewaska and Alexandria. We will definitely be returning!

Golf Trip
We had a wonderful time and got to spend time with Jim and Twyla who gave us the history of the area. The house was great, and we had plenty of room for our group of 20 golfers. Definitely a great place and highly recommend the area for any outings.

July 27-30, 2023 stay
This place is AMAZING as are the owners! Upon arrival, there was a welcome note and loaf of homemade zucchini bread. Twyla also stopped in to welcome me personally. The cleanliness was impressive as were the many personal touches including a s'more basket, large variety of K-cup for the Keurig coffee maker, soaps/shampoo dispenser in the bathrooms - just to name a few. The decor is SO nice! The themed details are so cool. And the layout of the house was perfect for our group of 17 adults and teens. That bunkroom was perfect for the younger folks who liked to sleep in. And that front porch - so great; we watched beautiful sunsets each evening. The garage was like an extension of the home - so clean, with a sink and extra refrigerator. There were a also a variety of bikes, extra outdoor chairs too. The setting is beautiful and just 5 miles from town. Starbuck has a wonderful beach and the Firehouse brewery was a fun outing. I can't say enough about this VRBO; it checked ALL the boxes for our group, and we've already booked for next year.

Peaceful, Pleasant Stay for Families
This beautiful, clean home offers so much opportunity for fun and relaxation. The house has plenty of dishes, towels, and a large dining room table with extra chairs. The covered porch is a lovely place to visit or listen to the birds. Outside the back lawn is perfect for kids to run, and the nearby state park has a lake for fishing and non-motor boats. The beach in town is great for hot days (and the air conditioning in the house is fantastic too)! The hosts are extraordinarily kind and helpful. And you can get a taste of farm life at this exceptional place!

What a great place for a 50th Anniversary
This property worked out perfect for our family, all 21 of us fit comfortably. There were beds/couches for everyone, plenty of room to spread out for activities, lots to do indoors and outside. If you’re considering it, the farm tour is definitely worth it, Brady had so much great information and the kids loved the visit from Cash. The house was very well stocked with everything we could have wanted/needed and so much more. The kids under 10 and the teens/,young adults found plenty to do (foosball, ping pong, games/puzzles, bean bag toss, bikes, balls) and never even missed their screens or tv. This house was impressively clean considering it is a farmhouse on a gravel road. The garage was just as clean and spacious, additional room since the weather wasn’t too cooperative. We would definitely stay here again!
