Havens Ranch is a 154 acres in the Humboldt river valley just 10 minutes outside of Winnemucca, NV. We have a small outdoor wedding venue, and only rent our spaces when we are not hosting an event. You are welcome to utilize the grounds and facilities, which include a beautifully landscaped lawn, historic buildings and modern plumed bathrooms. We also provide access to fresh well water and use of our large fire pits! **Please note that our bathrooms are not insulated and so we winterize the plumbing the in the colder months and will instead be providing a porta-john. There will still be potable running water available at the spigot. ** The river is a short walk away, and our longhorn cattle will most likely be grazing in the adjacent field. We have incredible sunsets and a variety of wildlife living on the property. This is a great space to get away from the city for a weekend, or camp for a night on your way through town. We have both a guest suite and several camping spaces available. It's a large property and we love to share it! If you are looking for outdoor activities, we are just minutes away from the Winnemucca Dunes OHV area (also great for hiking!), Water Canyon rec site, the Bloody Shins mountain biking trail system, and about an hour away from the Paradise Valley rock climbing area. We are 10 minutes from Winnemucca, about half way between Reno and Elko.

Welcome to Antelope Run Ranch, a one-of-a-kind off-grid escape tucked deep within Nevada’s Pumpernickel Valley, between Battle Mountain and Winnemucca. Spanning more than 40 acres of rugged desert beauty, this developing retreat offers vast open skies, endless exploration, and a chance to experience the high desert the way it was meant to be—quiet, raw, and unforgettable. Here, solitude meets adventure. Whether you’re off-roading, stargazing, hiking, or simply seeking stillness, Antelope Run Ranch gives you space to breathe, explore, and reconnect. The ranch stretches across an expansive section of open Nevada desert, with a dry riverbed winding through its heart. This natural feature tells the story of the land—once carved by flowing water, now home to soft sand, wild sagebrush, and the occasional curious pronghorn antelope. Everywhere you look, the horizon stretches without end, framed by distant mountain ranges that glow gold at sunrise and turn deep violet by dusk. When night falls, the Milky Way reveals itself in spectacular clarity, making Antelope Run Ranch one of the best stargazing spots in northern Nevada. Small young trees—recently planted and lovingly tended—hint at the ranch’s gradual transformation into a sustainable desert haven. Each visit offers a new glimpse of its evolution. Three operational campsites are available, each large enough for a travel trailer, rooftop tent, or ground tent. These sites are spaced widely apart, allowing guests to enjoy solitude and quiet while still being close enough to share meals and stories with others. Future upgrades will include a central communal area—a shared cooking and gathering spot where guests can meet, eat, and relax under the stars before retreating to their own camps for rest. Antelope Run Ranch isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a launch point for adventure. Surrounded by miles of BLM land, guests have unlimited freedom to explore. Bring your 4x4 vehicle, ATV, or UTV and dive into soft desert sands, rocky trails, and open valley plains. Whether you’re hunting, rockhounding, hiking, or just wandering, the landscape invites exploration in every direction. If you’re a stargazer, photographer, off-road enthusiast, or someone who loves wild open places, this ranch was made for you.
