Well-decorated. Well-stocked. Expectations met. We like to let our 50 photos do the talking!
River Ranch is luxury and a true second home, opened only for the winter months (November through April). The cabin is meticulously kept and we keep party sizes at 6 or under. Master King bedroom, pool table and TV room are upstairs with a main level King bedroom (that feels like a master) and one King bedroom downstairs next to your Wine Tasting Room!
Our guest house (Honeymoon Cabin) is a rental, as well as our neighboring barns and Airstream! There will be other small families or couples on the farm enjoying the animals and amenities, however, there is no reason for anyone, other than our workers that utilize one of River Ranch's garages for maintenance needs to travel up to your cabin. It sits up on the knoll overlooking the entire property (and all the amenities are private for only our cabins!)
The Bethel area of Sugar Grove is a quaint area, easily accessible, near everything you will need. And the corner store just up the road has all of the basics you may need from milk and eggs to gas. It’s a slower “Valle Crucis” if you are familiar with the area! We have a paved driveway with grading, it can be a difficult climb in the winter months without 4x4. We will always recommend 4x4 in the winter months, however, we are also located off a state-maintained road and we would consider us "easier access."
PETS: We allow only one dog, under 25 pounds, with a $75 pet fee (weight and breed limitations, please ask).
