On the edge of Echo Valley Ranch, this area was named for a local opera singer whose voice could reportedly be heard throughout the valley and was described as magical. It’s also surprisingly quiet, with the breath of the forest and the quaking of the aspens often the only sounds—unless the elk are nearby. We are surrounded on three sides by National Forest land. There is plenty of climbing nearby, hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails, including Miller Gulch, and Lake Wellington is just a few miles away. We have a 14 shot disc golf course on the property. While we are remote, we’re only 15 minutes from restaurants and stores in Bailey. Cell reception is limited in the area, so come prepared to unplug. If needed, cell service is available about half a mile away.
