With over 25 years of dedicated stewardship by Larry and Mary Kay Monger, this ranch is steeped in history and tradition, sitting beneath the majestic Elk Mountain, also known as Sleeping Giant, in the scenic lower Elk River Valley. This thriving cattle ranch has been operational for over a century, originally established as a sheep ranch by Larry’s family in the early 1900s. Transitioning to cattle ranching under Larry’s father, the ranch has evolved into a successful cow/calf operation that keeps the Mongers busy year-round. The cattle are divided into two groups, with one herd grazing at the Carpenter Ranch in Hayden, managed by the Nature Conservancy, while the other remains on the hay meadows during winter, receiving daily hay feed. As calving season approaches in March, Larry and Mary Kay diligently check on the cows, ensuring that any needing assistance receive help. Once calving is complete, branding day arrives, where each calf is marked with the H-connected-T brand and given necessary immunizations.

Weekend Trip to Cone's Riverside Canyon Cabins

The place was very clean, and tidy, everything you could need for a few days away was provided, the wildlife was abundant and the jacuzzi was decent. There's wifi and TV but we never turned it on because we were just loving the chill vibes of the trails, and private deck. We loved our stay in the Ever After, we saw wild turkeys, bats, elk, and more. The bed was comfy and the fans provided were a nice touch. The only downsides were the long black hairs stuck to the towels and shower curtains- I have short blonde hair, the slightly loud drunken neighbors in the next cabin over, and the broken tiles on the floor- you should wear slippers to be safe. Overall a great little getaway for us!

Fantastic spot. Heads up, GPS took me to the wrong spot about 300 ft down the road. So just a warning. Not at all the fault of the owner obviously. Cute cabin, outstanding animal activity going on from.bays, to flying turkeys roosting, all kinds of fun. Everything clean and we did our best to leave it clean too. Great communication. All around. Love this spot and we'll be back fur sure.

We stayed in cabin #2 and we loved it! It was a nice get away with a great view! We're pretty private and introverted people so we didn't go out and socialize much, but there was a cafe so we absolutely could have! Everything worked as expected, everything was clean, instructions were provided and they were pretty clear. There were a few discrepancies between what the listing says, the info in the binder, and the text I received, but it wasn't a big deal and was sorted out quickly. There were a few dogs around that were very friendly! We love dogs. The wifi calling wasn't working for me, there is no cell service there - but there is wifi, just something to keep in mind.
