Every stay gives rescued horses a second chance—and helps them change human lives in return.

We look forward to welcoming you to our ranch.

**House rules:**

- 🐴 No Smoking and No Open Fires Our land is a living, breathing refuge. For fire safety and health, smoking is strictly prohibited anywhere on the property. 🔥 Open fires are not allowed due to high fire risk in our area. Propane fire pit is permitted and we supply it for you. Please help us protect this land and all who dwell here.
- 🦌 Respect for All Life This is a no-harm, no-hunting zone. We live in harmony with the wildlife and domestic animals who call this place home. Please observe and enjoy them respectfully.
- 🐕 Animals Are Family Here – You may pet our domestic animals at your own risk. – Please do not enter any animal enclosures or pens. – Do not feed any animals—many are on special diets due to medical or age-related conditions. 👉 Feeding them outside of their prescribed diet could cause serious illness or be life-threatening. Thank you for helping us keep them safe.
- 🚿 Shared Bathroom Access A guest bathroom (no shower) is available in the silver Quonset hut. This is a shared space with our work-camp volunteers. – Please knock before entering to ensure privacy. – Be sure to close the door fully when exiting to keep wildlife out and maintain cleanliness. – Please leave the space as you found it. It’s not fancy—it’s real, and it’s part of what makes this place a working ranch filled with heart.
- 💧 Potable Water Access Clean, drinkable water is available for your use. You’ll find potable water: – Inside the bathroom in the silver Quonset hut – At the spigot just outside the west side of the Quonset – And at the red barn nearby
- 🚗 Drive Mindfully Please watch your speed while driving on the property. This land is home to porcupines, coyotes, deer, and the occasional unexpected escapee in the form of a horse or cow. Drive slowly, safely, and stay alert.
- 🏕️ Respect for Fellow Campers Please be mindful that others are also here for peace, reflection, or healing. Let’s co-create a supportive, respectful, and quiet experience for everyone.
- 🌿 Want to Meet the Herd? We’d love to show you around! Just ask, and we’ll gladly introduce you to some of our rescued animals and share their stories with you. We kindly ask that you don’t feed any of the animals during your stay , as many have very special diets and feeding outside of this can cause health problems. Thank you for helping us keep them safe and well.
- 🕯️ Peaceful Space This is a drama-free and party-free environment. Quiet hours are from 10 PM to 7 AM so all beings can rest deeply and rise with clarity.
- 📄 Liability Waiver Here is the link to our waiver—please complete it before your visit: 🔗 https://www.smartwaiver.com/v/jwerelease
- ♻️ After Your Stay Please be mindful of your campsite and help us keep this sanctuary beautiful for all who visit. Remove all trash and waste from your site before you leave. There is a trash bin located next to the Quonset hut available for your use on the way out. Thank you for leaving no trace.
- 🐾 Bringing Your Dog? Please Read We love dogs—but more importantly, we love safe and drama-free stays for everyone, including your beloved fur baby. - Leashes are a must at all times. This is for your dog’s safety and the safety of our resident animals. We are home to mules—and mules don’t play. They are known to kill coyotes and dogs if they feel threatened. We want to avoid that story, for obvious reasons. - Clean-up is kindness. We’ve already got plenty of poop around here (hello, horses 🐴)—so we kindly ask that you clean up after your dog to help keep the campsites and walking trails enjoyable for all. We truly appreciate your cooperation and love having respectful, responsible pet owner.
- Check-In Policy Our standard check-in window is between 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM. Arrivals between 7:00 PM and 10:00 PM may be accommodated with prior notice and are subject to a $10 late check-in fee. Due to the nature of our property as a working ranch, and in respect for our animals and fellow guests, we are unable to accommodate any check-ins after 10:00 PM. Quiet hours begin at 10:00 PM, and for the safety and well-being of all on site, late arrivals beyond this time cannot be honored. Thank you for understanding and planning accordingly.
- 🔥 Propane Equipment & Fire Pit Rules To ensure safety for all guests, animals, and the property: Propane Equipment (cook stoves, heaters, appliances): Only propane equipment with an automatic shut-off safety feature is permitted on the ranch. Equipment must be used only in designated areas and on stable, fire-safe surfaces. Never leave propane equipment unattended while in use. Propane Fire Pits: Fire pit flame must always be kept low and under control. No use of propane fire pits is allowed during high winds, red flag warnings, or other fire-risk conditions. Fire pits must never be left unattended, and guests are responsible for ensuring they are fully shut off after use. We love sharing this sanctuary with you, but we take fire safety very seriously. Thank you for respecting these rules to help protect the ranch, wildlife, and surrounding land

> We had a really lovely time staying here. My husband and I booked a one night stay with our two dogs to get out of the city and unwind. We are big animal lovers and it was such a special experience to see all the happy horses, mules, and donkeys on the farm. Many came over to say hello when we walked by! We also saw a group of cows across the way that were very cute, and many types of birds, deer, wild turkeys, and even an elk! We kept our distance of course, but it felt like every time we looked around there was a new critter to watch. The tent was very nice and had wonderful amenities that m…
