Gracious Host
12 family members stayed for Thanksgiving. It was so perfect. The home was so spacious and very clean and had just about everything you could need for a Thanksgiving dinner including a dining room table we could all sit at and be together. Samantha the host was attentive to all our needs. Surroundings were beautiful and very quiet..It was unbelievable the supplies, games, books , and dvds there. What a great place and host. Will be back.

Clean, comfortable and family friendly
We had a wonderful stay at Walker Ranch. It’s a great house for big families. Everything throughout the home was clean, organized and fully stocked. The wood stove kept us nice and toasty during a storm. The fenced yard was perfect for our dog. We are looking forward to staying here again!

Winter Getaway for Family of Five
I can't say enough about this house! The owner has thought of everything. The house is welcoming (thanks for the welcoming treats!) and the beds super comfortable; there was room enough for all of us to sleep comfortably and find private nooks when desired. The living room/dining room area is comfortable and spacious. The kitchen is beautifully equipped and the grounds are amazing. There was a closet of board games to play, wood chopped and ready for a cozy fire. There were accommodations for toddlers (high chairs, plastic dishes, etc.) which we didn't need but are there for those who do. The pictures don't do the house or the grounds justice. It is truly gorgeous! We are already dreaming of our next visit . . .
