A johnboat, paddle boat and inner tube floats are available, as are bicycles and smaller-size wheels for the kids. In addition to the hot tub on the porch, the newest ranch expansion adds a stone swimming pool and spa. Guests are encouraged to hike the trails, take a pony ride and pet the friendly miniature donkey, Sir Prize. Bedrooms in the main house provide a variety of sitting-room and suite options, all beautifully furnished with family antiques. The Carriage House next door offers a large, cheery room with two queen beds or the cozy, wood-paneled Hideaway room, each with private bath and entrance.
Breakfast is served on the large wrap-around porch, weather permitting.
Gourmet coffees, raspberry smoothies, Dutch baby pancakes with fruit, sausage smoked on the premises and homemade breads round out the menu. A different breakfast is served each day. Picnic baskets are available if requested in advance. And the ranch continues to grow. Just weeks ago workers were busy completing renovations on a newly acquired 1825 log house.
