LODGING
The logs for the ranch buildings were cut in
the upper Jakey's Fork canyon in the 1920's, and hauled to the
ranch by teams of horses and wagons. Several of the old wagons
are still on the ranch property. The charming old buildings
are spaced along the stream and around large, well-kept lawns.

Above the main ranch, in the canyon, are three
attractive log houses which are also available as guest accommodations.
The Greer House, has three bedrooms, two baths, a large living
room with a fireplace, and a terrace with a lovely view. Baker
House has three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a large living room
with a river rock fireplace, and a cheery sun porch. Hardie
House has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large combination living
room with a wood stove, and a long front porch overlooking a
secluded meadow. All the houses are very nicely furnished, and
have complete kitchens with washers and dryers and electric
heat.
Across Jakey's Fork there is a recreation building
made up of a series of rooms for reading, writing, or playing
cards and games. The two larger rooms have stone fireplaces,
pianos and ping pong tables. There is a library with a large
selection of books, and an interesting geological display relating
to the history of the canyon.
All ages eat together
in a large, attractive dining room furnished with Native American
artifacts. Breakfast is cooked to order, featuring such items
as homemade granola and fresh fruit, omelets, sourdough pancakes,
and freshly baked breads. Lunch is always buffet and most people
enjoy eating on the shaded porches surrounding the dining room.
Dinner is usually served family style. CABIN
