Whether you are planning a relaxing weekend get-away or want to have as much fun as you can squeeze into a few days, we can meet your needs!

For those that just simply want to "lay back" and take it easy, the parlor is furnished with a beautiful bookcase, stocked with plenty interesting books to read. In addition there is a wide variety of board games, checkers, cards and poker chips, just to name a few of the indoor activities.

You can sit and relax on the front porch of the ranch house, especially during sun-up or sun-down, and enjoy the various forms of wildlife such as the white tailed deer, wild boar and wild turkey, just to name a few.

Fun Things To Do: Fishing: There are several great fishing spots along our 3 mile stretch of the Colorado River. There are plenty of bass, and the catfish get big here. In March of 2011 one of our guest caught a 31 lb monster (see picture at left) at one of our fishing holes on the ranch! Bring your pole and try your luck! Canoeing*: River adventure canoe trips with drop off and pick up can be arranged. Or, let us set your whole family up with a picnic lunch down by the river, where the kids can paddle the canoe in a shallow protected area. * For safety purposes, no canoe activities will take place when the river is high and moving fast, which happens after storms or heavy rains upriver.
