This waterfall is so beautiful, the whole ranch was named after it. Once you see it for yourself, you’ll understand why anyone would fall in love with it.

Relaxing by the water or using the paddle boats and kayak to make full use of it are great ways to pass the time when you aren’t hiking. Amenities include a kitchenette, the space to sleep 3 guests, free wifi, and a great little meditation garden.

Whether you prefer the wall of hats or the cow print, there’s plenty of it. Indoors and outdoors both have the same treatment of comfort and respect for the outdoors.

This is a working ranch, so don’t be a stranger if you happen to see someone on the property. 100 acres is a lot to enjoy, so take your time and take it all in.
