Two houses · three miles apart · sleeps 32
Take both houses.
Some groups do not fit in one house, and some do not want to. Book Red Barn Ranch and Mountain Retreat together and thirty-two people sleep three miles apart — the lively half at the ranch with the pool, the barn and the hosts, the quiet half at the retreat with eight acres of trail under a star-filled sky.

The whole group, at last, and nobody at a hotel.
A family reunion where nobody has to be the one at the hotel. A wedding party with the castle booked and thirty-two people who need somewhere to wake up. Twenty friends and their children. A wellness retreat, a writing week, a team offsite that would rather be on twelve acres than in a conference room.
The two houses split a big group the way big groups actually want to be split. The ranch takes the families who want the pool, the barn and the animals, with us on site. The retreat takes the ones who want trails, a hot tub under a star-filled sky, and nobody around at all. Everybody meets for dinner. Everybody gets the weekend they wanted.

You plan the weekend. We help you line up the rest.
Tell us what you have in mind and we will point you to the people we would call ourselves — a chef for dinner, a caterer for the morning everyone arrives, someone for massage or yoga. On the day we are around, so when your family is busy being your family, we can meet the vendors and show them where to park and where things plug in. These are additions to the stay, arranged ahead of time. What each costs depends on what you are after, so tell us and we will be glad to put a quote together.
One thing to know before you book: each house is set up for its own numbers. Everyone sleeping over needs to be on the reservation, and if you want the whole party together at one house for a meal or a celebration, tell us early — that takes arranging, and there is a cost.
