Nature pure, distant vistas, and vast space to enjoy privately. The riverscape is especially bucolic. The ranch itself has ample cooking facilities, fireplaces inside and outside, and plenty of games. Do your shopping beforehand. ##### Anne C. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Josh P. Jul 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Christfort Ranch exceeded all expectations. The house is incredibly spacious—much bigger than anticipated—and comfortably accommodated our group of 14\. The riverfront setting is stunning and peaceful. Having a pickup truck made it easier to access the river, as the road is quite steep. The home was well-equipped with everything we needed for cooking and entertaining, and the check-in process was seamless. It’s rare to find a place that’s this spacious and comfortable for a large group (we had 14 people)—and even rarer that it lives up to the listing. This one absolutely does. We’re already hoping to return! ##### Josh P. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jul 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spectacular getaway property Greatly enjoyed a stay with about 15 childhood friends. Jacob was helpful and communicative in advance of the stay. Would definitely book again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ali Z. Jun 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a wonderful experience at the ranch. This was a truly special place to spend time with our extended family, take walks, swim in the river, sit around the fire, and enjoy games and conversations. ##### Ali Z. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Caren P. Dec 6, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Gorgeous location - great for groups! Our group of 15 just spent Thanksgiving together in this remote, beautiful place. You are surrounded by mountains, trees, trails and views. There are so many places to hang-out as a group or to get some personal space. ##### Caren P. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cora W. Dec 19, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing getaway Large yet cozy ranch house. Felt immediately comfortable and relaxed. Would definitely return! ##### Cora W. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley N. Feb 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The most special family weekend! We stayed at this property for a surprise birthday/family vacation with 8 adults and two kids. It’s hard to put into words how incredible this property is. The house itself is impeccable, perfect for a large group with lux interiors and something for everyone to enjoy. The bar setup is such a fun touch and we got a huge kick out of the mic setup for family karaoke night. But even outside the house the property itself is stunning. Lots of trails to hike and private access to eel river. We also loved booking a day of a skeet shooting to end the weekend. If you are looking to make unforgettable memories with people you love in a beautiful quiet nature filled location it doesn’t get much better than this! ##### Ashley N.
