This is a working ranch, not a motel. Platform tent is camping though much better than pitching your own tent. Nice setting and friendly people. Really enjoyed getting to know our neighbor. Deer munching grass at the edge of the platform. Owls hooting in the distance coyotes howling too.
This hidden gem was just the perfect place to relax. I made a mistake and booked the wrong night. When I arrived they were happy to accommodate me for the night. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I will for sure book next time I am in the area.

Disliked: Cleanliness
One in our group had an allergic reaction to pet hair in the bedding so we had to leave. Bathrooms were quite terrible, worse than most campgrounds I’ve been to.
Cleanliness is an issue.
What a charming location. I was on a roadtrip, booked on my phone and was pleasantly surprised by the bison, horses, views! Overall rustic charm. Staff was helpful. The tent was well stocked with blankets. The walk to the bathroom passed a bison! I fell asleep to rain. It was idyllic.
The tipis allow to sleep in natural beauty of the outdoors, fresh air, quiet forest, and nice bedding. Trails now had lighting set up, clean bathroom, great breakfast to order in dining hall included w price of stay. Wildlife, ranch Bison, horses for trailriding, supply store. Nice people. Miigwetch! We will return.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Booked a camping tent that was nice. Bed was comfy and clean. The fresh air was nice and the view on the horse ride was wonderful. Staff were friendly and helpful. Bathroom situation was not great and not so clean. Please fix this, you have a great place but you will turn away people if you cant figure that out. Food was decent for dinner but the breakfast was great.
Fun experience, this is staying in a tent/teepee so expect a camping like experience, except for the breakfast that is included which is made to order in their restaurant—which was delicious! Staff was very friendly.
It was very nice to experience the outside and of course amazing all the people you meet!

Family fun
We had such a fun time! The sleeping arrangements were clean and family friendly! The breakfast that was included was very good! The kids enjoyed playing around the area.
Very quite nice place. Extra bed was in a loft and we couldn’t climb stairs. Sofa bed uncomfortable
Best breakfast we have had!! Friendly staff. Very quiet area. Deer came to our yard
Decent property for the price. Would stay again. Buffalo, horses and chickens on site was cool. Free Breakfast was amazing.

Wonderful! We saw the buffalo and the horses. Loved the wide open spaces. Close to town but feels remote. Free home cooked breakfast. Nice bathroom. Comfy beds
If you’re a fan of rustic living this place is great! They serve a hardy breakfast and beautiful scenery. Definitely will do this trip again. Lots of wild life.
