The ranch staff invites you to accompany them as they carry out daily ranch tasks, such as fixing fences, haying, and calving, or take advantage of the many activities we offer.

TESTIMONIALS
“Great place to stay, wonderful people. Will make you feel right at home. If you're looking for a place to stay I highly recommend staying here.” - Cam B.
“My family and I visited Jean's ranch last summer to go horse back riding. It was a fantastic experience and very personalized attention. It was just our family. Jean trained us for about an hour and then we went out onto the plains with her. Such an incredible and unique experience on the Nebraska Grasslands!” - Patrick C.
