This is a Dude Ranch that has charm beyond written words, it needs to be experienced to be believed! the minute you step foot on the ranch you are going back in time perhaps to when Carey Grant used to bring his daughter to the ranch. Families have been experiencing second and third generation visits to the ranch, creating lifelong memories. Some of the special features and activities at the ranch include outdoor BBQ'S, a thousand miles of alpine riding trails, cookouts on the trail, evening sing alongs around the camp fire, many options for trail rides, amateur rodeos, dancing and live entertainment in the saloon, etc. Before I left the ranch, somehow, I wound up at the saloon! had a cold Sierra Nevada Pale Ale with the owner, we took turns playing a few tunes on his guitar......... the only thing missing was Miss Kitty!
There are several options for investing in this well established Dude Ranch. Purchase the ranch, the land, the business, facilities etc. lock, stock and barrel for $3,400,000 or the owners are open to the possibility of investment partners. All options are open! whatever happens, there is nothing the owners would like better than to stay on and run the ranch "business as usual" with their seasoned staff, either in the capacity of a partner or in a leaseback situation.
If you want the "city slicker" experience of a lifetime at an established, true American, alpine Dude Ranch. This is it! make your reservations now!
