Description

Circa 1910. Built by Norwegian immigrants in 1910, this beautiful Victorian farmhouse has become a luxurious country inn and estate on 200 acres that include spectacular flower gardens, wildlife and splendid mountain views. The Ranch provides a magical experience in a magnificent private setting. It is filled with comforts such as down quilts, family antiques and vases of fresh flowers. The property is designated as a wildlife refuge. There is a cabin overlooking trout-filled Blue Lake and a cottage on the river. Enjoy a European/Southwest buffet breakfast. Named by American Historic Inns as one of the ten most romantic inns, 2001.

gets better

We have been visiting the Ranch for the last 15 years and each stay gets better. The setting is ideal and the staff incredible -- so beautiful and relaxing.
