Mini vacation

Unique and special property. Loved watching the goats and having horses for neighbors. We had everything we needed and it was warm and cozy. Far enough away but close enough to hiking, dining and activities. Property owner was very responsive, friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect getaway

A friend and I stayed at the school house while we were hunting elk , what a wonderful experience we enjoyed it a lot and will be back. The owner Mary is a wonderful lady and always there to help and goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is perfect. Views of elk and mountains are gorgeous. Couldn’t be any happier with the stay .

Glenwood escape

We really enjoyed this much needed getaway. The property is just far enough off the beaten path to where you feel like you’re by yourself. Disconnected from society. The owner, Mary P. was very friendly and did come out to meet us, which I enjoyed. Would definitely recommend this place.

About the host

Hosted by Terry and Mary

Terry was born to the ranch and this life. He and I run this Ranch as a couple, and make a good team with our foundation bitch Rosie's kids having kids.. Taz threw a nice pup, and I call him Fyn. Hoping for more next time out of this champion... and Panther thrilled me, of course, and had 3 blacks and a red lakie! The giants are slowing down, as we are.without spring chores and ditches and tractor maintenance and all and the rest of the critters, without them we would be pretty boring... See you up here...

Why they chose this property

our cabin is historical and special. A glimpse of real ranch life is fascinating to others, we have found. Please relax and unwind up here, we welcome you. we have put in hughes net, so those of you who need to work, can..... sorry..

What makes this property unique

We are so close to the hot springs, or our local's hot pots, as we call them, and really love the privacy and the solitude that we can offer to the world. we are minutes away from world class rock climbing as well, and have had climbers as far away as germany stay here for weeks. Please let us show you the elk pen cabin as well as this one, and NOW we are going underground! whooo a dull moment here! Also just found another school house, the mead school house... will be moving her up here as well!!
