About this property

Exclusive Western Themed Retreat with 1000 Acres to Enjoy

A secluded, private, ranch retreat ideal for family vacations, celebrations, holidays, reunions, retreats, weddings and group events.

Need to Relax? You've picked the right place. Nestled in the deeply carved valleys of the driftless region, Big Valley Ranch offers a quiet and extraordinary lodging experience where you can horseback ride, hike, and bike right outside your door. Wildlife abounds with birds, squirrels, deer, turkey, and you might even see the elusive red fox, or a Big Buck just yards from the ranch. The grounds are both breathtaking and beautiful, with plenty of room for outdoor games and gatherings. With over 75 miles of trails, natural streams, a covered picnic pavilion, 70 outdoor horse paddocks, a sand volleyball court and an impressive lighted outdoor arena, the possibilities are endless.

Once a buffalo ranch, the 1000 acres is now home to an exclusive western retreat and vacationer’s paradise. The original rustic barn was restored into an elegant bed and breakfast using the original foundation, beams and barn boards. With 4200 square feet of country luxury, the barn house features 4 western themed bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, a majestic Great Room with a beautiful stone fireplace, vaulted ceilings, leather sofas, and hardwood floors. The fully-equipped kitchen has granite counter tops, bar seating, stainless steel appliances, and a large dining table. The Great Room leads outside to a private, full-length deck facing a horse pasture where you can enjoy grilling out. Want to entertain a large party? Check out The Woods in Lone Rock or Whiskey Row in Avoca! Although not a facility serving spirits, it houses saddle stools and a bar to enjoy your own beverages. There you can play a game of pool, darts, foosball, cards or dance to the jukebox. Located below the barn house living quarters is the stable with 8 premium stalls, tack room and wash rack. Nearby is the milk house (shower house) which houses a large walk-in shower and bath.

Big Valley Ranch is meant to be versatile. Let us know what kind of experience you are looking for and we will do our best to accommodate. Our piece of paradise is meant for anyone that wants to escape from the stressful, hectic lifestyle we often find ourselves in.
WIFI capabilities are limited and do NOT support streaming.

Great for Guys Reunion Weekend
We had a group of 6 men who went to college together. Everyone enjoyed the Barn House. Well kept up property on a ranch. Went for some nice hikes on the property and enjoyed watching the sheep out the window. Plenty of space.

We had a great time
All around a great experience. I highly recommend this place and will definitely come back. I don’t know if the hot tub was off limits to renters or just not working but it would’ve been nice.

Awesome plane for our annual friends weekend!
The space is perfect for a 6 couple weekend away. We didn’t even need to leave! The pictures don’t do it justice as it’s huge! And the game room/bar was connected to the main living space which we didn’t realize from the pictures. Super clean as well! We will definitely be back.
