Families Come Once, Then Keep Coming Back
Some of our guests are on their third or fourth visit, and one family has been coming for twelve years. They tell us it feels like summer camp for the whole family. We think that’s about right.

Something for Every Age
Kids fish the pond and feed the elk. Grandparents get a porch and a quiet house of their own.

Bachelor Party
Great venue for our family reunion! Lots of space for everyone to spend time together. We all had a wonderful time!
Family Reunion
We stayed at the grand lodge at Elk Ridge Ranch and enjoyed the amenities that the Ranch had to offer. There were great hiking trails, the bourbon cabin was really neat, the elk were cool to see up close, and we toured the pizza barn that also houses axe throwing and a nice sauna. Great place to stay with tons of amenities!
Grand Lodge Guest
We had a great time. Property is beautiful. Lots to do. We loved the Bourbon Barn. Candle lit with wood stove made for a great time for time together. Will be back for another weekend. Highly recommended.
Weekend Stay
This was our 4th stay across 12 years, and it was wonderful as always. The location is so peaceful and serene, the buildings have incredible spaces - the kitchen and great room especially! The hosts Dave and Wendy are around if needed, but otherwise just allow our group to enjoy the property.
Reunion, 4th Stay
So much to do on the property itself and lots of room inside and outside for the 9 families that gathered. Such a relaxing and peaceful spot. No one wanted to leave and we’re already talking about coming back.
Family Reunion
We had a fabulous time at Elk Ridge. There were surprises around every corner including the Pizza Barn activity we added on (food was delicious), the cigar and Bourbon Barn, the silo fire pit, the actual ELK that lived there! We’re already talking about the NEXT time we come!
Company Retreat
We live in Brooklyn and planned our wedding at Elk Ridge Ranch as a destination wedding. It exceeded our expectations by far! Dave and Wendy were amazing hosts. We can not recommend this beautiful space enough.
Wedding
If you have ever wanted to go to summer camp with your entire family, Elk Ridge Ranch is a great place to make it happen!
Family Vacation
We recently celebrated our wedding at an elk ridge ranch, and it was nothing short of magical! The hosts were incredibly accommodating, ensuring everything ran smoothly from setup to cleanup. Ax throwing and pulled pork/brisket is the best combo!
Wedding
Their pride in the property and their absolute dedication to us having an excellent stay was spectacular…5 star. We will be coming back for future reunions, and I’m dreaming of hosting retreats here for my business.
50th Anniversary Party
WOW... This place is so awesome. My group had so much fun. We had a group of 21 adults and had plenty of room to spare. Memories to last a lifetime. Thanks Dave and Wendy !!
Birthday Weekend
Awesome property and outstanding accommodations. Dave opens everything up to your group and makes sure you have everything you need. Awesome bar area upstairs along with outdoor covered hangout area. 10/10 highly recommend.
Bachelor Party

I took my 15 buddies on a bachelor party here and it was perfect. They catered pizza and BBQ for dinner and it was so easy and good. The golf course is hilarious and a perfect activity for a group of guys. The main cabin bar is phenomenal. I cannot wait to come back here with a group of friends.
