Experience The Home Ranch
Escape in Nature
Sitting in the shadow of the Zirkel Mountain range, The Home Ranch was built in the Elk River Valley — one of the last true Alpine ranching valleys in the American West. Our historic and recently renovated guest ranch was created to take advantage of this slice of land — and on special occasions, we share it with a handful of lucky guests who truly want to get away from it all.
Off-limits to everyone but our guests, The Home Ranch offers high-end accommodations, personalized services, curated activities, and what’s perhaps the greatest luxury of all: endless privacy. You can spend your days exploring the many footpaths through stunning alpine scenery, while away the afternoons on our farm, or take a picnic, and experience our back-to-the-land culinary offerings. However you wish you to experience the great outdoors, we’ll craft a day made just for you.

Taste Local
Food is one of the most satisfying and educating avenues to experience a place — and our destination is no exception. When you dine at The Home Ranch, everything on the table comes straight from our high-country farm’s complex of gardens, alpine greenhouses, and orchards. Not only do we grow the produce that we serve, we also specialize in ranch-raised American Wagyu — one of the most coveted cuts of beef with just the right amount of marbling.
Start your morning by breaking bread with your travel companions at the Great Hall inside the Lodge, where a sumptuous spread awaits every morning. Think: pillowy blueberry pancakes, piping hot pastries, and omelets whipped up with straight-from-the-farm eggs. Later, come back for hor d’oeuvres, cocktails, and dinner. Food forage outings, cooking classes, and dining under the stars connect you even further with the land.

Experience the Great Outdoors
With its rivers, lakes, and mountain trails, the upper Elk River Valley is an outdoorsman’s dream come true. Adventures in the great outdoors include horseback riding, archery, fly fishing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, hatchet-throwing, riding ATVs, and shooting sports like sporting clays. You can pedal your way through the mountains or explore the trails on foot, taking in the sweeping vistas.
In other words, The Home Ranch’s natural riches are in a league of their own, and any time spent here translates to an adventure of a lifetime. That’s what makes our hideaway special — and completely private. Whether you’re here for a multi-generational getaway, a wedding weekend, or a luxury corporate retreat, one thing’s for sure: You won’t run out of outdoor activities to fill your days.

The Home Ranch’s pristine setting makes it a prime spot for rest and rejuvenation. Add to that our state-of-the-art facilities and wellness offerings, and you’ll get a wellness experience that transports you in more ways than one. You can start your wellness journey with a stop at our luxurious fitness center, where you can break a good sweat while facing breathtaking, pulse-quickening vistas.
Take a plunge in the swimming pool or hot tub, detox in the sauna, and finish the day with one of our rejuvenating, head-to-toe treatments at the standout spa. But of course, there’s more to explore when it comes to wellness here at The Home Ranch. On any given morning or afternoon, you can unfurl your mat and find your zen with a restorative yoga class, or take your practice outside with a meditation session that helps you hit the reset button.
