Our family loved this home! The owners were amazing! They were there to greet us and tell us about the property and were so kind to our grandchildren—Taking our youngest ones on walks and rides. They were very patient with all their questions and requests. The home is beautiful—so much room. The beds were very comfortable and we had all we needed in the well equipped kitchen and butlers pantry to make meals and enjoy our stay. The built in pebble ice machine was a favorite for all of us. The outdoor space was the best—comfortable seating and a great place to gather and enjoy meals. Beautiful surroundings and lovely trails. The creek and sand play area were an added bonus. The unique animals were a surprise and fun to watch. (We send our thoughts to the owner after one incident with Mr. Buffalo). The play area was well maintained and our grandkids enjoyed it. The hot tub was also a favorite. There were also lots of toys to entertain the grandkids. There were many thoughtful details in the home to make it comfortable and enjoyable. We think the one thing that will make the home even better is when the basement bathroom is completed. We recommend this home and would definitely stay there again. Thank you for helping us make some wonderful family memories.

What a hidden gem and perfect getaway to disconnect from the hustle and bustle! I was initially hesitant when we found out how close the owners are to the home, but after arriving and talking to them, it was actually quite lovely. We got to experience the property and all it had to offer with firsthand insight and tours from the owners. They were more than happy to entertain the grandkids when it was feeding time for the animals, and they even brought over cookies! We even tagged along for a morning walk. Great hosts and a great property! We're already planning our next trip.

We loved staying here and found surprises that weren’t in any pictures - like a dining room table that seats 10, a Lifetime playground , and lots of toys for kids. We stayed with 10 adults and two children and loved all the places to relax, play cards, bbq, and hang out on the patio. We highly recommend this place!

R & D ranch exceeded our expectations! There were 6 of us and we were in town for a wedding that was down the road. Couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. House was stunning! Beds so comfortable and the amenities so unbelievable! We used the hot tub every night. Did hikes on the property and the owners were so lovely and helpful when we met them. Can’t recommend it enough! The double kitchens were insane. Only had dinner there once as we had many events. Our last night was spent around the fire pit talking old times as all of us were old college friends. House was well stocked with anything anyone could want. Thank you again for everything!!!
