The ranch was beautiful! The impressive living space allowed for my large family to be comfortable and happy. The grill on the patio was incredibly convenient and the kids loved playing in the yard. I'm so happy we found this booking for our family's reunion!

Thanks, Adam, for the great review. So glad you enjoyed your stay! Come again!
We had a wonderful time! The property and house were very nice and had everything we needed. Jim and Twyla were also very helpful and accommodating. Overall, this was the perfect place for a family get away!
This place was awesome and really enjoyed being to have plenty of space along with beautiful arrangements. Great to have a couple of fun golf courses close and beautiful weather.

Great venue, secluded, beautiful sunsets, hosts were there when needed, but out of the way otherwise. Proximity to Glacier Park provided many recreational afternoons. Would strongly recommend to anyone looking for a place for a family gathering.
Our family with 8 adults and 9 children (6-16) enjoyed the backyard, front porch, and everything in between. The quiet view of the prairie is so beautiful! The State Park nearby is fun for non-motorized boating.

Glad you enjoyed your stay! Thanks for leaving the house in great condition. Welcome back anytime! We enjoy your family!
We had a wonderful time and got to spend time with Jim and Twyla who gave us the history of the area. The house was great, and we had plenty of room for our group of 20 golfers. Definitely a great place and highly recommend the area for any outings.

Wonderful place to disconnect and relax. Excelent for large families such as ours with several amenities. Owners were very friendly with us, house in general is in excelent shape, very clean with lots of space to gather inside and outside. Loved it and will definetly recommend!!
We rented the Jim and Twyla's ranch home for a family vacation getaway.
Our family could not have been happier with our stay at the ranch! The house was so spacious and our kids loved the bunkroom in the basement. We were warmly welcomed by Jim and Twyla and enjoyed their kind hospitality! This spot was everything we wanted and more! The location was beautiful and so peaceful. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a place to make memories with your family.

Great group of guys that like to golf! Couldn’t ask for a better or friendlier bunch! Plus they left the house in excellent shape. Welcome back anytime.
This is the second time we used this property for our family vacation. This place is awesome and fit the needs of our family very well. We love the spacious home and the big yards for our kids and grandchildren to experience tons of fun! The swings, sandbox, and outdoor fire pit were great additions! There was plenty of space for our large group of 21! Thanks to Jim and Twyla for being such great hosts.

What a friendly family and they left the house so clean. We welcome them back anytime!
Our family loved our stay! We made use of the heated garage for meals and games. There were many conversation areas. The game area in the basement was perfect for the younger ones in the group. The beds were very comfortable. It was great to have four main ones and an overflow with many bunks. 4 bathrooms, 2 up, 2 down was an amazing plus. We even made use of the whirlpool in the master bath.The kitchen/dining layout was great for our size family.Thanks for a perfect getaway in Starbuck!

Thanks so much for the great review. So glad you enjoyed your time together!
Our family of 7 adults and 6 children (ages 8 months to 8 years) found all the comforts of home at Clear Springs Cattle Ranch. The lower level play area and bunk room provided space for kids and allowed quiet conversations upstairs for the adults. Multiple bathrooms and bedrooms were clean and comfortable. The swing-set and sandbox were favorites of the kids!

About the host
Hosted by Jim and Twyla Wulf
We are a family ranch that raises Simmental and SimAngus cattle in the hills of the Glacial Ridge region of West Central Minnesota. In 2013 this place came available and was just next door to our existing ranch so we purchased it even though we didn't need the house for our family yet. In Jan.2020 we began remodeling the house to add a bedroom and bathroom so we can sleep a bigger group and we opened our doors to vacation renters in June 2020.
Why they chose this property
We love giving people a Ranch experience when they are here. It is also a blessing to us to meet so many great people.
