If you look for something out of usual, you have the right place. The ranch is great. I stayed in the smaller wagon and it is something special. An experience I don't want to miss. The "Cowboy of a day" is worth a try! It's so much fun. The wrangler makes everything possible to give you an unforgettable experience. Everybody is very nice and helpful. You really should try this place out!

We stayed the night to do an evening practice ride at Sandy Valley MX and had a great experience. The property was cozy, quiet, and super peaceful. We rented both the tiny home and the Airstream, and the AC was ice cold. The outdoor seating was a nice touch and made it a great place to unwind after riding. We’d definitely stay here again.

My husband and I stayed in the Peacock Tiny House and at night could see the Milky Way! Breathtaking surroundings and peaceful atmosphere.

If you want quiet and peaceful, away from the city, this is it! Beautiful views. They have a Tipi, conastoga wagon, tiny house and a working ranch, so far we have seen the chickens and HORSES! With horseback riding, ranch hand meals may be purchased at an additional cost! But we'll worth the experience! I'll update after we finish stargazing.

Great experience. All of the tiny home accommodations (tiny cabins, bullet trailer, teepee & covered wagon) were above average, and all come with heating/air units (make sure to bring more blankets & etc during the cold months). The hosts were present and friendly, in case they were needed, but gave our group plenty privacy.
