2021 Open April 15th!

We’re looking forward to a new season at the Ranch. We made new changes to the Overlook Ranch House by adding a 5th bedroom downstairs with 2 queen beds, and replaced several other beds with queen size ones. We also added new wood flooring to the kitchen and all bathrooms, as well as the two upstairs bedrooms, and the downstairs hallway and kitchen area. We replaced and upgraded foundations and porches at the Russ Noah and Lakeside log cabins also, as well as new bathroom floors in the Cabin Ridge House. Spring is almost here, and the daffodils are in bloom. See you soon!

Cabin on the Lake

My favorite place to stay on the ranch has always been the Lakeside Log Cabin. Built of logs that were hand hewn by settlers here in the Ozark area of Eminence, it was fun to reconstruct it from its old Courthouse lawn location to our lake back in 2008. Shown here is the cabin as it was before we dismantled and moved it.

Intern opportunities available…

Flowers in bloom….and frozen pipes!

AAAhhhh….frozen pipes this morning from 6 degree cold and the failure of both my heat lamps in the well house. Folks that have city water probably don’t appreciate the fact that they don’t have to maintain a complete water system from well to house! But the water sure tastes good….as long as I fix the water heater element every 6 months because of the lime [and we don’t like the soft water systems]. Gotta love country living!
