Each cabin offers two separate sides; each side offers: One queen size bed, one twin size bed, table and chairs, small fridge, tea/coffee maker and an ensuite bathroom with tub.
The rooms feature hardwood floor, pine furniture, and beautiful log beds made by Hans. The cabins are comfortably heated by hot air furnace for those chilly spring or fall nights.
The rooms are available for single occupancy, double occupancy or for a family of three. For a family of four, two rooms will be available.
Lunch: A lunch bag packed into a handy soft cooler is ready around noon for the guests to be taken to the cabin, to nearby lake, to an afternoon trip towards the Rocky Mountains etc. Lunch includes sandwiches, water or ice tea, chips or crackers, fruit or veggie and cookies. In spring and fall some rides are comfortable lunch rides and Hans and Kathy pack sandwiches or wieners into the saddle bags.
Dinner: Cowboy-Canadian and European specialties are enjoyed by all guests and the host family at the ranch house's long pine table. Kathy serves wonderful hearty yet light and healthy meals featuring ranch raised natural Texas Longhorn beef as well as bison meat, salmon and chicken along with vegetables and salads.
