Wonderful property and house

Our family of 10 stayed here for a week. House was very clean. Kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, etc. Beds are very comfortable. Even the decks were kept clean, and we enjoyed sitting out there and watching the deer come by. The trails on the property were well maintained and fun to explore. Would highly recommend this property.

Run better than a hotel!

The location is beautiful, the home spotless and very spacious. Communication was excellent and there were no questions left unanswered. The property is maintained and operated more than a hotel. These owners are not amateurs and are clearly experienced in rentals and it made the time spent very enjoyable.

Absolutely Wonderful

My family’s stay at Double Boar Ranch was absolutely wonderful! The house and property are spacious and beautiful! Our group of 16 was comfortable and had room to spread out. Everything that we could possibly need was on site. The kitchen was well appointed and fully stocked with anything one would need to cook for a large group of people. The property manager was very kind and accommodating. She went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was wonderful and memorable! We would definitely love to come back for another stay. I highly recommend Double Boar Ranch.
