Jean Norman’s great-grandparents homesteaded this ground in 1887, helping build a rail line and lodging the workers. Jean turned the house she was raised in into a bed and breakfast in 1999; when guests kept following her out to watch the day’s ranch work, it evolved into a full guest ranch.
The 3,600-acre property is a designated National Natural Landmark — canyons and cedars beneath a landmark visible for over a hundred miles. Stay in the full home, barn-loft apartments, or one of the travel trailers parked out in the pastures for a genuinely unique night. Days bring authentic ranch activities, wildlife and fossil hunting, hiking, and some of the best stargazing in the state. Bring your horse and ride with them. The best season runs mid-May through Labor Day; they also host weddings, business retreats, and plein air art gatherings.
