Evenings at the Ranch
The Ranch draws on a wide range of local talent to provide entertainment several nights a week. Regular fireside chats feature local naturalists and writers like John Rember, providing color about the area and its rich history. Musicians like Muzzie Braun, Bruce Innes, Dominique Tardiff and Jerry Grusell bring their guitars and talent 3-4 nights a week to accompany dinner.

There are special outdoor dinners on Monday and Thursday nights. On Thursday, guests enjoy an outdoor barbeque of succulent ribs, chicken, fish and other tasty fare while taking in the famous view from our front porch. On Monday evenings, guests walk the short distance or take our horse-drawn wagon to a meadow on the edge of the forest for an authentic Dutch Oven cookout.

Kids Activities
There are a wide variety of activities for kids at the Ranch and in the surrounding area. Kids always enjoy the freedom the Ranch offers to move about on their own.

Some popular kid activities include: Fishing for trout in our well-stocked pond and just paddling around in our paddle boat; pony rides for children 6 and older, part or full-day trail rides; exploring nearby Custer and Bonanza ghost towns, deserted after the Gold Miners left the area in the early 1900’s; visiting the Sawtooth fish hatchery; hikes into lakes or along streams; swimming, canoeing and kayaking on nearby Redfish Lake.

Three nights a week, staff run front lawn games, crafts and story hour during the adult dinner hours. Kids can eat from 5-6 every evening, and on these nights can then participate in these fun activities.
