Me and 5 of my friends were looking for a perfect place to unwind ourselves after a hectic university semester, and the ranch turned out to be the perfect place. Nestled in the mountains, and the greenery all around us........It was a magical place. The sauna bath, green room and the river flowing along added to the charm. the scene looked straight out of the movies (Legends of the fall, A River runs through it). Our host , Kelly is a proper gentleman, voracious reader (exhibited by the tons of books in the cottage) and an excellent photographer. He could go on talking on and on and you wont even be bored for a second. Even though it felt like we were at the edge of the world, the city wasn't faraway. We were able to do visit city and do lots of fun activities. While you are here, I would advise a visit to Hanging Lake. Barbecuing at night while sitting outside among my friends is a experience that I would never forget. I highly recommend this place.

End of the road ranch is the most amazing place I have ever been to in my lifetime. The hospitality extended to us was superb ! The owner John was an amazing person with years of experience. He has a big heart when it comes to sharing his property worth millions with strangers. In this world, some people work for money but John works for his passion. The ranch is located a midst the mountains near a beautiful stream, away from any other disturbance. You can really relax and spend a laaazzzyyyy weekend.the only other living things around are the stallions in the ranch. For adventure seekers, try hike starting 100 meters away from the ranch. Taking a dip in the stream isn't less demanding ! you can also ask the owner and ride his horses, we were allowed to do so. thanx to John
In all, we were really happy from the hospitality extended to us and the facilities shared on the property. It felt like I returned to my Village back in my country. I also wanna thank John's friend Tony who helped him during his injured days and prepared the property for us.

We were a bunch of 6 guys looking for some forest cottage to stay in over the long weekend and we came across this amazing place. Believe me, the place is even better than what is shown in the pics!! Excellent cottage, superb scenery, the inviting sauna room, the free flowing stream nearby, the barbecued chicken over the drinks in the chilly evening. Add to that the spooky feeling in late evening of being in the middle of no where. Wow,that was some feeling!! One more good thing is that even though you feel like you are at the edge of the world, you still are not that far from the town. Infact, we could easily go for our rafting and hiking outings. The host was really hospitable. We were quite late than what we had told him, but still he kept in contact with us throughout our journey to make sure we found the place. It sure helps when your host is also an excellent photographer! What else could we ask for? Really, one of the very best trips ever!! I would definitely recommend this place to my friends.
