Our summer season runs from June 1 through September 30. Most of our guests arrive on a Sunday and depart on a Sunday, but for your flexibility you can stay as few as three nights and arrive any day of the week. Keep in mind that Sunday is the horses day off so there is no riding on that day and we do not serve lunch. Our Summer stays (American Plan Package) include lodging in one of our cozy Grand Lodge rooms or Log Cabins, daily horseback rides, three Country Gourmet meals daily, evening entertainment and access to all ranch amenities.
