Guest Access
PRIVACY: Youāll have the ranch house and its amenities all to your self. Outdoor activities like the lake, hiking, etc. may be shared with other guests staying at the retreat center. Please note, our property includes a 1/4 acre farm and a retreat center. They are a couple hundred yards from your ranch house, with no line of sight between. The garage at the end of the home is used as a workshop, and the barn with some equipment is across the driveway. The deck, pool, fire pit, and other amenities are mostly out of sight and quite private. While we occasionally access the workshop and barn, we will respect your privacy.
