Overnight Rental Info
We are so glad we chose to share our ranch and it's been rewarding to host so many animal lovers since we started renting in 2013. As we phase-down to retirement, we have reduced our available rental dates and guest area, to allow us to more fully enjoy the dream ranch we built (aren't you glad we haven't closed completely to guests?!).
Starting in 2025 and probably for 3-5 more years, we'll remain open for Overnight Rentals but ONLY for ~2 weekends each month with the other weekends for Day Visits. The guest space has been reconfigured to work well for the smaller part of the house. For previous guests familiar with our home, the great room is no longer part of the guest space, so the Guest Quarters are best suited for 1-2 people.
Privacy! Same private guest entrance and fenced guest patio/yard. We still only rent to 1 group at a time (e.g. no Day Visit guests when Overnight guests are onsite), so you have complete privacy.
We are absolutely still dog-friendly including pet-friendly furnishings and covers! See more below about what is still included for Overnight guests and then check for availability, rates and reservations.
Open Living Area
The open-concept living area offers living / dining / kitchen features, and was re-configured in 2025. For those who have visited in previous years, you may notice that the murphy bed and room divider curtain were removed for a more spacious open-concept living/dining room space -- see updated photos and video below.
- Private entrance and fenced patio/yard. Note that the big backyard is now primarily for our dogs (Cody is getting older and Gina less tolerant of other dogs stealing her toys) though will coordinate with guests wanting to use for photos/view. Fence privacy screen to minimize dog interactions at fence.

There is a luxurious en-suite master bath and a half-bath off the hallway.
Every room in the house is uncluttered with plenty of drawer/cabinet storage space for guests. The house is 1-story with no steps, 36” doorways, toilet grab bars and lever handles so is fairly handicapped accessible.
