Simplicity, Beautifully Lived

The days are full, the pace is slow, and the comforts are meaningful. Home-cooked meals, trail dust, crackling fires, and the kind of stillness you never knew you needed.

Gather 'Round

Cook, feast, and tell tales
There’s nothing quite like a shared meal under the open sky. Fire up the grill, cook over open flames, and settle in around the large outdoor table built for big appetites and even bigger stories.

Stoke the Fire

Where warmth meets wild
Whether you're toasting s’mores, cooking cowboy-style, or just soaking in the glow, our fireside spots are made for slow evenings and crackling conversations.

Stretch Out

Hammocks, high country air, and quiet moments
Lean back, breathe deep, and let the mountain breeze rock you to sleep. The hammock’s waiting, tucked between trees and kissed by golden hour light.

Settle In

Homey touches meet ranch grit
A fully stocked kitchen, soft linens, and space to kick off your boots—our ranch house is rustic comfort at its finest, built for families, friends, and fireside memories.
Built over a century ago, this ranch house reminds us that the best things are aged, simple, and full of character.
