Ranch Motel Rooms
Our rooms are simple yet comfortable and accommodate 2 to 4 guests, depending on the room. They overlook our front grounds where you will find a sprawling lawn, trout filled ponds and the beautiful Boardman River just steps from your door. Linens, towels and a coffee maker are provided in each room, but in the spirit of togetherness and wholesome family fun we make it a point to avoid electronics which is why you will not find tv’s in any of our rooms. We encourage guests to slow down and “unplug”, just enjoy each other’s company as well as the natural beauty that surrounds; explore a trail, try your luck at fishing, enjoy a bonfire under the star filled northern sky.
All of our rooms are non-smoking. We do have a couple of pet friendly rooms available for $25/dog with a maximum of 2 dogs allowed per room. Check-in is 3pm and check-out is 11am.
